Colin Gray, father of Georgia school shooting suspect Colt Gray, formally charged in connection with son's shooting spree
  • This would be my understanding of the thought process. Keep in mind, I'm not saying this is morally right or wrong, nor am I saying he will end up convicted.

    The standard for legal persecution by the police in response to vague threats of potential violence by a teenager is much much higher than the standard for child neglect which leads to the death of others. One had very little direct evidence that anything serious would be carried out, and the other left 4 people dead.

    In the state of Georgia, at least, there is a concept that you basically don't own your body until you are 17/18. If a parent gives you a firearm, particularly a firearm that is illegal for a minor to own in the state of Georgia, the parent can be held liable for the effects of that gift.

    Your analogy of the kid finding a knife in a drawer is not 1 to 1. The closer analogy would be a father handing a kitchen knife to his son who is in the middle of yelling at his little brother saying he hates him, and then being surprised that his angry son used the damn knife.

    The police can not arrest you for the potential of comitting a crime. The police can not sanction your right, the father in this case, because of an investigation on your son. However, you are absolutely responsible for the safety and well being of your son at all times, and it should have been understood by the father that illegally giving his 14 year old, troubled, previously investigated son an AR-15, might be a bad idea.

  • Donald Trump faces backlash over rally locations: "Sundown towns"
  • Uh my guy it's still used regularly in the south.

    I've lived here my whole life, and everyone I know, including myself obviously, who grew up in more rural areas has known the term most of their lives.

    You say it's civil war old, which its roots may go back to, but it was popularized in the 30's-60's in the south. It's a concept that is still very much in living memory with a handful of towns, particularly in Alabama, that still practice versions of this.

  • Why I Prefer Minetest To Minecraft - YouTube
  • I completely get where people are coming from with that opinion, but I've been playing MC for almost 15 years, and I'm having just as much if not more fun with the game now as I did at any other point in its development.

    Minetest is super cool and can be very fun. I play a bit on it as well, but exclusively advertising for it on the platform of hur dur mineshit sucks, which isn't necessarily what you're doing, I just see that a lot, definitely isn't the best way to go.

  • What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with?
  • Yea as the other commenter said, the idea behind this saying is that ypu shouldn't malinger in the "oh no I really wish I had done xyz!". Oh well, it is what it is, no changing the present, only the future.

  • NAS Server OS/Software Suggestions
    1. Both
    2. I've done writes and reads that are in excess of a TB at a time. No real issues.

    I'm sure I'm missing a touch of performance here or there, but I can't notice, so who cares. It means I don't have to go spend money on new RAM when I'm too broke to even eat most days lol

  • Can't get crontab to run backup script properly

    Hello everyone!

    I'm running a few different services off of my Ubuntu VM on ProxMox, and they've all been running great for about 6 months now. However, I'm trying to setup some better backups and such of individual services, and I wrote a bash script to do that for me and delete older backups once I accumulate enough.

    All of that works 100% fine. Like absolutely no issues with the script when I run it myself. However, I can not for the life of me get crontab to run it.

    If I run sudo ./folder/directory/backup.sh then everything runs perfectly. However, if I setup my crontab with 0 * * * * ./folder/directory/backup.sh I get absolutely nothing.

    I have also tried setting the crontab with sudo, sh, sudo sh, and both combinations without the dot in front of the path to the shell script.

    Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you so much for any help

    Update: I have edited /etc/crontab with the following 0 * * * * * root /mnt/nas/freshrss/backups/backup.sh. After waiting for the crontab to fire off, nothing happened. Still not really sure what's going on.

    PFSense: Can't ping physical devices on network, but can ping virutal machines?

    So, I am running ProxMox with PFSense virtualized on it, and I am having some issues with SSH and Ping access between my physical machines and the rest of the network. The two computers are running into an unmanaged switch before then connecting to the NIC port that is set as the LAN interface.

    As the diagram attached hopefully helps demonstrate. The only problems are running between the two physical devices, and from PFSense to the two physical devices. The physical devices can connect to the virtual devices, and they can connect to PFSense just fine via SSH and can ping PFSense, but PFSense can not ping back, and PFSense can not SSH into the physical devices.

    This whole mess is utterly confusing to me, to be honest. I still am very much a novice when it comes to PFSense as I only swapped to it about a month ago, but hopefully someone here will be able to help!

    Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. I am sure that this post is a bit confusing, but hopefully I can clarify in the comments!

    Edit: Thanks to Starfer I fixed the issue! I errantly left Windows Defender on!

    Just started R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf trilogy. Absolutely love it!

    While I've always been a big fan of fantasy, I've often stayed away from certain areas (like D&D books) as they can get waay too campy waaay too fast, but these books are just great!

    The pacing is great. Not too much world building, just enough action (both emotional and martial), and no over-the-top cringey material lol. Just an incredibly relateable story about "otherness" and finding your way in a world that can feel hostile to your ideas. It's something many can relate to in 2023.

    I highly recommend for any D&D or general fantasy fans!
