Microsoft is sunsetting Hyper-V Server (Not Hyper-V itself) so now you have to run Hyper-V on a bloated Windows Server install. Too bad because Hyper-V is actually a decent hypervisor and Microsoft is shutting out a lot of their smaller customers who don’t have the money for tons of exhorbitant licensing.
I even use Hyper-V for my self hosted setup but I’ll be forced to switch in a few years whenever my host server is ready for retirement.
The benefit of splitting services between VM’s is the same as it always has been: I can break one service without breaking ALL of them. Containers are an improvement over native installs but they do not solve this problem completely.

Turns out that an angry mob coming to your workplace with the intent of harming and/or murdering you can make you rethink your life choices.
Don’t get me wrong, Liz Cheney is as conservative as they come. I am not going to try to defend her political ideology. Her campaigning for the democratic nominee is not something I would have ever seen coming only a few years ago. But she has a major axe to grind with Trump. Honestly, can you blame her?
This is not the same as the Republicans who go from criticizing Trump to boot licking overnight in hopes of getting a few scraps from the table. Liz got effectively exiled from the GOP and she will never have any standing with the Democrats. Her political career is most likely finished. She doesn’t really stand to gain anything from this. She just really doesn’t want Trump to be re-elected and is willing to do what she can to prevent that from happening. On that particular subject, Liz Cheney and I are in rare agreement.
I’m assuming this went down like the church scene from The Blues Brothers. Some lady goes out to the woods to get a little clarity where a bright light from heaven shines down on her and instead of James Brown, Bigfoot appears and says, “Have you seen the light!?”
And she’s like, Yes! Yes! Jesus H Tapdancing Christ! I have seen the light!"
And just like that, she’s off on a mission from God.
Bobby Kennedy would roll over in his grave if he knew what kind of person his son had turned into.
Edit: for reasons other than his philandering. That part is very on brand.

The last few hundred years of Russian history can be succinctly summarized as, “…and then, it got worse.”
Things that motivate Republicans to vote:
❌ Quality Healthcare
❌ Good Jobs
❌ Affordable Housing
❌ Retirement
❌ Equal Rights
✅ Fear
✅ Bigotry
✅ Fast Food
That makes sense and I just learned something new. Thanks for the correction!
Only if it happens to someone else.
That style actually pre-dates the 80’s by at least a few decades. In more traditional music, particularly Christian hymns, that’s referred to as a “descant”.
It was popularized in church music in the early 20th century by Ralph Vaughn Williams.

Meanwhile my cat:
“Hey. Heeyyyy. Heeeeeeyyyy! Hey slave, where’s my food? Where’s my food slave? Do you not know wtf time it is?? We do this every day. Are you fucking dense? Stupid slave. ‘WeLl YoUrE tHiRtY FiVe MiNuTeS EaRlY’. DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A SHIT!? You should just know! I’m gonna be here eventually. You know this. So why is my food not ready and waiting for me the moment I arrive? Slaavvvveee. Are you listening to me?? Where is my food you useless twat!?”
That’s “thrice married, serial adultering, licentious, thieving, lying, self aggrandizing, covetous, bigoted, convicted criminal, rapist.”
Gotta give credit where it’s due.
You know things are not going well when nearly half the country is either ok with or enthusiastically supports having a morally bankrupt shitstain for a president.
You have my sympathy on the basement flooding issues. Been there. Thankfully not sewage backup in my case.
it’s definitely not an issue you want to let go for long. If there’s an obstruction, it will get worse quickly as more solids go down the drain. Easiest way is to just hire a plumber. Complexity and cost are going to depend heavily on the cause and location of the obstruction.
If you want to try to DIY it, you could try to snake the drain but on a 3 or 4" line you’d need a good sized power auger to make any serious headway.
If it were me, I would get a sewer inspection camera. Low end ones start at less than $150. This is really the only way you’re going to find out what the root issue (no pun intended) is outside of paying a plumber to come do the same thing. A large wet dry vac also comes in really handy in these situations.
How old is your home and what’s the sewer line made of?
I mean, why limit yourself to just one place when you can visit them all?
“going anywhere” AKA being instantly vaporized and having the dust of your remains carried around the world by the wind.
I think administrative overhead is the hidden cost that a lot of technology vendors fail to consider. Microsoft is especially guilty of this. Is a “good” product that requires an obscene amount of esoteric knowledge and experience to maintain really that good?
