It looks like someone is relaying spam through gob.mx and gob.ve mail servers. That's... kinda bad.

Thankfully if you abort the backup, it leaves a checkpoint whose blocks the next backup can use, but the checkpoint itself will get dropped on the next purge, and any blocks only referenced by it will be gone.

Also, data from /proc compresses pretty well, so it only took an additional ~60GB of disk space, not a full 3TB.

Accidentally bind-mounting /proc into a chroot and having borg archive 3TB before I notice

Meanwhile Trump is fighting solar and pushing coal. The Chinese call him 建国同志, "Comrade Jianguo". Literally this means "Comrade Building the Nation". It's a joke about "Make America Great Again". It hints that Trump is actually helping China.

Microsoft president Brad Smith acknowledged that the four rounds of layoffs this year are more about using the money saved to fund AI data centers and GPUs than workers being replaced by AI.

I think this is important for the media to get right versus making it seem like ChatGPT can replace a human worker.

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms:
