1·18 hours agoWhy am I not surprised to hear APC is crap compared to Eaton?
Keep in mind that this isn’t my personal experience talking here. I also don’t know if the user in question is correct, or if it might be specific to some portion of the respective brands — both make a wide range of UPSes, from inexpensive to pretty pricey. But I did remember reading that, and it did seem potentially germane to OPs problem, so…shrug
Someone with a multitester or oscilloscope or something and some of those units could probably examine further, see what the actual behavior is for a given model.

Why is Eaton UPS so much more expensive than APC and Cyberpower?
In what ways is Eaton so much better that it can demand nearly 2x the price?
UK person here, so not sure how it differs country to country, but every APC UPS we’ve had has excelled in utterly trashing the batteries. Where I have to change batteries in an APC every 18-24 months, an Eaton will go five or six years without killing them.
There’s some further discussion talking about how the APC units hold the charge voltage at a high level, and the Eaton ones, once the batteries reach target voltage, bring it back down and only bring the charging voltage up occasionally for brief periods to maintain the charge in the battery.
Carmakers including Ford and Volkswagen have doubled down on petrol cars, especially in the US, due to…regulatory changes under President Donald Trump, who has cut incentives for EV buyers.
I’m pretty confident that if you’re buying a $640,000 car, you place little relative value on a $7,500 tax credit. It being present or not is under a 1.2% price difference. That particular factor probably isn’t very relevant as regards cars like these.
One account on X said: “Ferrari just killed their brand just like Jaguar did. This is straight to the junkyard trash.”
“What is going on with European Luxury car manufacturers? First Jaguar and now Ferrari”, another account posted.
But not all commentators were felt negatively about the new car, with one post saying: “Absolute masterclass in design. Ferrari just unveiled the breathtaking LUCE concept, and it is a total game changer.”
Honestly, BBC, if you’re going to aggregate statistics about tweets on Twitter, use it as some kind of crude poll, maybe you could get something useful that way.
But reporting on anecdotes about anonymous tweets for things like opinion seems of almost zero value from a news standpoint. If a tweet mentioned a fact that you could validate, say, that might have some value.
But what you’re doing here is on-par with saying “someone on Twitter said that they liked chocolate ice cream, and someone else said that they didn’t like chocolate ice cream”. That just doesn’t really seem newsworthy. I would say that it’d be surprising if you couldn’t find posts of both sorts for virtually any topic.
No, but it says that he’s the founder of “7-Eleven Japan”, not “7-Eleven”.
I mean, it may not hurt, but I seriously doubt that this is going to substantially alter the total fertility rate.

Not quite what you’re asking, but if your concern is avoiding data loss, if you haven’t already, I’d set up a backup before I started setting up a RAID or similar setup.
Your majesty, as head of the Church of England, perhaps you could engage in a bit less blasphemy.
When the Lord your God gives you victory in battle and you take prisoners, you may see among them a beautiful woman that you like and want to marry. Take her to your home, where she will shave her head, cut her fingernails, and change her clothes. She is to stay in your home and mourn for her parents for a month; after that, you may marry her. Later, if you no longer want her, you are to let her go free. Since you forced her to have intercourse with you, you cannot treat her as a slave and sell her.
Self hate right here. His parents were cuban immigrants.
Most of the hardline anti-Castro people in the US are, I think, Cuban-American. That’s typically the reason that they’re in the US.
I don’t know if that’s a factor for Rubio in particular, but “person with Cuban background living in the US who is very unhappy with the Castro regime” is not an oddity.
1·5 days agothe whole thing fell over…Do I need to make the model smaller, or is there something wrong with the print settings?
I haven’t done 3D printing for some time, despite following the community, but can you add a base, perhaps, that would make it more stable and is only attached at a few points and can be snipped off? There’s probably terminology for such a thing, but I’m afraid if there is, I don’t know it.
I mean, Scottish separatism got time on RT. Hell, Russia ran that “international conference of separatists” that involved Texas and a bunch of other places. Russia amplifying separatists isn’t exactly new.
Russia, where separatism is illegal, hosted a conference for foreign separatist groups
Russia invited a bunch of international separatist groups, including dissidents from Ireland, Spain, Italy, the US, and Ukraine, to discuss “the right to self-determination” to a Moscow conference—despite “separatism” being a crime in Russia.
Here they are way back in 2016:
Texas, California Separatists Attend Kremlin-Funded Conference
Meet the attendees of Moscow’s international conference of separatists.
Gotcha. Yeah, the stuff in fstab is just a convenience; it’s equivalent to running a bunch of mount commands at boot. You might be able to just run “mount” again without the '-o remount" option. I was just listing that in case you were seeing some kind of errors in trying to manually mount it.
Nah, that’s good. What I mean is, if it’s in /etc/fstab, it should be possible to manually mount it without a reboot. Have you tried manually remounting it after power comes back?
I’m not saying that the move is a good one, but I would point out that the US is about one-quarter of the world economy and about a thirtieth of the population. If the rest of the world wants to combat the start of a pandemic, it does have the resources to do so. The US might — as a wealthier country — have a larger responsibility to humanity as regards global health efforts, but it is not the only country with a responsibility. There are about two hundred countries in the world. If they want to stop a pandemic that might be starting, they can probably do so.
7·8 days agoLast I looked — not recently — Facebook was one of the more-competitive Bay Area tech companies in terms of base salary (though there are places where people can do better in terms of equity compensation), so they probably have some leeway to ask their employees to do stuff.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?
I don’t know why you’d need a reboot to remount the thing. Are you just not familiar with how to add something to /etc/fstab and mount it manually and are relying on some kind of auto-mounting system that only happens to run at boot, or is it giving some kind of error?
If an error, what happens when you do:
$ sudo mount -o remount /mnt/the-mount-point?
