From the little I've been reading Kent Overstreet just sounds like an incredibly arrogant developer with some talent.

It reeks of someone whose opinion of themselves exceeds their ability.

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

"Scorned" in this context is equivalent to our contemporary "betrayed".

She's been passed over for reward by Trump.

It's correct, as much as any English is correct, but not typically spoken naturally like that.

The press (newspapers) has an idiosyncratic grammar, probably born of maximising space in a newspaper column. Headlines are often grammatical nightmares, body copy less so.

One could think of it as a form of semantic compression.

I trialled both a while ago, chose ummich asits face recognition was superior.

There were other reasons, but I've forgotten them.

If you're using LVM, ZFS, or Btrfs then you can use their features and tooling to migrate data from one disk to the other, assuming you're able to connect both at the same time.

I've done this online with btrfs several times now and it's quite painless, admittedly only for self hosted stuff.

I bought a refurbished SFF PC and put a PCIe NIC in it. Installed opnSense.

Cheap as chips. Supremely powerful.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.

Another bullshit passive-voice headline. Written implying the fault was not with the LAPD.

"LAPD officers destroy MRI machine in bungled pot raid"

I still double-check my CIDR's/netmasks and expected ranges with a tool (some online one or other). Easier to avoid silly mistakes or typo's
