Basically a thread for discussing the events and transformation of the setting in the Chicago by Night previews available for backers. I've been informed they're okay if they're spoiler tags. I'm personally interested in everyone's opinions on events as well changes from one edition to the next.

Not yet, other than there's a Lasombra and Obternation chapters.
Also a picture of what I assume to be Lucita.
Dawkins said on Facebook that that's Helena.
That's a weird choice given she's Beckoned.
I think this is supposed to be Shejana.
Not that I disapprove of hot pale dark-haired ladies.
Helena hasn't been Beckoned. Or, I should say, she was Beckoned and then came back.
Describing Erichtho as "in charge" of that place is the most inaccurate thing that was ever inaccurated.
Still, I thought it was a rocking Lucita picture and am saddened if she's not in the book.
I think it was clear for a while that the Beckoning has its limits. The core book notes that some elders are trying to stave off its effects by drinking younger blood in what seems to be a kind of reverse-diablerie.
There's also the fact that assumes the Antediluvians WANT to wipe out all Kindred.
More like it's the Cyclical Gehenna where they do what Cappadochias did.
ITS BANU HAQIM AND BRUJAH TIME!
Well, we've got our first Lasombra news in the fact there's a Lasombra delegation which has been sent to Chicago that has apparently been arranged by Maldavis. So, interestingly, Kevin Jackson and Maldavis are apparently working together to incorporate the ex-Sabbat into the Camarilla City. Damien was apparenty so disillusioned by this, he's turned against the Anarchs completely.
Given her lack of Presence, I think it's also funny how her obsession thinks she's a creep. Which is a nice subversion.
No insights into the Beckoning other than Menele being summoned by it broke Critias' Blood Bond to him and now he is totally 100% against his sire. The fact he's murdering students who don't live up to his standards is terrible, though, and Socrates would be appalled. Mind you, Kevin Jackson holding such sway over a 2500 year old Elder like him is almost pathetic. It shows how really far he's fallen.
The new Sheriff of Chicago is brutalizing the Anarchs far more than I expected. Apparently, all of Damien's former friends have either moved out or he's willing to put them on his "to be spared" list. I wonder what will happen when Kevin Jackson reveals that the 10 Anarchs are a list he's given to multiple Kindred--and that it will be after they've murdered each other.
I mean, wow, that is pure Ventrue, there.
Damien really is kinda pathetic in this and I feel bad for such a formerly friendly PC-like hero.
She's lost a point of Humanity! She's down to 8! Wassail awaits! Seriously, though, one of my all time favorite Anarchs and she's gained position and prominence in the city. Her attempts to convert Critias to the Anarchs is doomed to failure, though.
Critias is probably as involved in founding the Camarilla as Hardestadt and probably still considers ir a new experiment.
Her desire to murder werewolf kinfolk is tragic, though.
I love the way they've expanded on him becoming an Anarch sell-out of the highest order. That's really all I can say. I also like the nod he's friends with Microsoft executives. Err, I mean Sunburst Enterprises.
There's no end of fun to be had at the schadenfreude that Sheriff lost his job because he's a racist and the new Prince is black. I was kind of iffy about the fact he's a virulent racist a century later but that's a big part of Sheriff's characterization, though. I also like how Damien has found himself with Critias and Sheriff as his only Brujah allies in the city.
Also, I find Critias' contempt for Balthazar bizarre because he's not exactly rocking the rebel train himself.
I think it's fair to describe Critias as a broken man. Imagine having 2000+ years of your life effectively dictated to you and inadvertently finding freedom.

Over 70 People Killed During #EndSARS In Lagos Unclaimed – Femi Falana
Posted by News Staff on December 21, 2020,
The interim Chairman, Alliance on Surviving COVID -19 and Beyond , Mr Femi Falana ( SAN ), says over 70 corpses of persons killed in Lagos during the # EndSARS protests have yet to be claimed .
Falana said this during an interview with The PUNCH on Sunday.
The Chief Coroner of Lagos State , Mojisola Dada , had in a public announcement on November 19 , 2020, called on relatives of people who lost their lives between October 19 and 27 to visit the Lagos State Teaching Hospital to identify and claim bodies of their loved ones.
However, Falana said so far, only about 20 families had come forward to claim bodies.
The ASCAB chairman added that many people did not know that their relatives had been killed, while some others might have left the " matter to God."
He said, "About 98 dead bodies were dumped in various mortuaries out of which three were dumped there on October 20 . However, less than 20 relatives have shown up at the mortuaries to identify their loved ones and take them for burial .
" Investigations by ASCARB show that people are quietly mourning their dead and some are afraid. Others haven' t confirmed that they lost anybody. So far, less than 20 relatives have come to identify their loved ones. This is over a month after the announcement.
"Some didn' t know their loved ones were there . Some have accepted their fate as an act of God. "
Falana explained that this was not the first time that people would fail to show up to claim corpses of relatives.
He said this was similar to the case of the killing of members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria in Zaria , Kaduna State in 2015 by the Nigerian Army , when only 15 relatives out of the 347 buried in mass graves came forward .
The ASCARB chairman said similarly , most of the relatives of the 938 persons killed in the riots that ensued after the announcement of the 2011 presidential election result also did not show up .
" The Ahmed Lemu presidential panel determined that 943 persons were killed in 11 states in the post -election violence, but very few relatives showed up . So, these sorts of things are not new ," said Falana

Marwa Ayad - The Official Website: Happy New Year!
You've baffled me; you've impressed me; you've given me hope, and sometimes utter despair and hopelessness. You were certainly different, unexpected in many ways; and for that, you will be remembered for a very long time.
Globally speaking, there were many natural disasters. I remind you again of the earthquakes in New Zealand, Turkey and Japan; the earthquake in Japan was one of the strongest ever recorded at 8.9 magnitude, triggered by Tsunami (think The Butterfly Effect) and lead to the Fukushima nuclear meltdown. And then the droughts in East Africa and the worst famine in decades. Then there were the floods in Thailand which affected more than 12 million people and killed over 800; and the typhoon in Philippines, more than a half million people lost their homes. Then there were also more than 300 tornadoes and blizzards in the United States ripping through the South East. 2011, you've outdone yourself, so don't pretend you have forgotten; the world certainly hasn't.
Politically speaking, it was the year of awakening for several Arab nations. On 14 Januray, 2011 the Tunisian government fell and then-President Ben-Ali escaped Tunisia after his infamous, or rather famous speech, often referred to as أنا فهمتكم ,or 'I've understood you' (addressing his people). My beloved Egypt and the Egyptian revolution which started on 25 January, 2011, almost a year ago, yet it hasn't been freed from military ruling, despite toppling Mubarak's regime on 11 February, 2011; and still protesters are getting injured or killed.
The year Gaddafi was killed and Bin Laden was claimed killed/dead (I still doubt the death of the latter, let alone if he ever existed, but that's another matter), and Kim Jong-il (the North Korean supreme leader), Saudi Prince Sultan ibn-Abdelaziz, Egyptian writers Anis Mansour and Ahmed Bahgat, Egyptian singers Hassan Al-Asmar, Talaat Zein and Amer Mouneeb, Actress Hind Rostom, Actors Kamal El-Shenawy and Omar Al-Hareery died. The year Apple's Steve Jobs, Elizabeth Taylor and Amy Winehouse (the English singer) also died. The year of the English royal wedding. The year riots in England lasted for days and London was on fire. 2011, you were uncanny!
On the personal level, it's the year I ventured away from home, seeking a new path, a new chapter in life. For me, things were rather quiet and I must say my times of solitude were very appreciated and needed. It was the year I made several amazing new friends and met lovely people. The year I discovered yet how fake some people can be, how intimidated some are by a feminine independence, difference and success. The year I realized it didn't matter how old someone can be, they can still be mean, and usually it turns back on them. Justice prevails, even after long years, Subhan Allah. The year I amazed myself at how I let go of many things that no longer belonged to me, and how I no longer needed to hold on to beliefs that hurt me and brought me down. The year I broke free.
I used to joke that 2011 has hogged all the news, nothing will be left for any following years. I still think of you as the year of the Egyptian revolution; 2011, I still salute you.
2012, I have a lot of faith in you; please live up to it. I hope it will be a year of peace, and love, lots and lots of love, a year of justice, of seeking the truth, seeing the truth. A year of good change. I hope it will be the year my second novel is published (it's taking a lot of time to write, but it's a lot different than my debut novel and much longer).
Happy New Year! And most importantly, happy new year, my Egypt!

Most of the categories are type-based, though there are a few extra ones for slots, such as Sporty Slots, Summer Slots, Music Slots, Magic Slots and Romance Slots. You can also scroll through each category to see more games presented in groups of six, plus you can have the games shown as simply text names or game icons; there's also the option to sort them by alphabetical order.

i read something recently that said (paraphrasing) a friend is someone who feels comfortable going on about themself to you. people are inherently selfish, and the more you appeal to their egos the more you own them, and vice versa.
'x' and i definitely use each other as sounding boards. but we have a rare friendship that transcends our respective egos, at long last. i love 'x' (more effusively than i can reveal to his stern and prohibitive demeanor), ever since the day i first ran into him in the hallway of our workplace as youngsters, where we had a strange moment of fatalistic recognition that i can replay with startling clarity to this day in my head. i love him because we have had a tumultuous 14 years or so of trying on personalities with each other, auditioning various relationships as if we were robot scientists experimenting impartially with human traits. at times we mesh and it is smooth going. at other times it seems our entire acquaintance is based on sadistically reducing each other to snivelling heaps of doubt, insecurity, and despair, and we purposely lose touch for months at a time...it's been an invaluable education though overall, and i think that finally we are growing up, graduating. we have both passed each others' rigorous tests and shown that despite our defenses (and persistent mental illnesses), we have each others' backs for life. i admit i find it hard to like an integral part of him, which is his lifestyle as a crass "sexpat" in asia. however his being the one person who has endlessly inspired me and cared for me in his sometimes disguised and passive-aggressive way so unwaveringly throughout my life, when everyone else ended up revealing monsters and ineffectual losers behind intricate masks, means i will accept anything he is in the end, however repulsive it can be at times. and he is really complex enough that his abundant generosity and kindness to those who finally get through his obstacle course, balances things out. i worship him unconditionally. i feel so lucky to have someone in my life who is ultimately genuine, and even imagine that he might be acceptable compensation for the fact that my family was mostly a bunch of dim-witted, misdirected narcissists who treated me like an unwanted pet my whole life, until i sprouted wings, dismissed them from my regard, and flew away.
i am happy that i managed to squeeze two trips to see 'x' into the past year (first in scotland/amsterdam and now in asia). this trip to his art compound in the philippines was relaxing, and enlightening in a lot of ways i didn't expect. first of all, i didn't realize the extent to which he had succeeded in his work, and in such an accelerated fashion(!). for years we were on the same level with our similar careers, but somehow he skipped way ahead of me when i wasn't looking (jealous!). he has built an amazing house in his little brothel town- complete with a gorgeous pool, a hot tub, a perfect gym room which i took full advantage of, a fully stocked bar with companion pool table, and 4 bedrooms equipped with elaborate entertainment systems to accommodate his visiting friends. there was really no reason to leave his paradise abode at all! i took a jeepney through the decrepit streets of AC, from my turbulent plane to his barricaded warehouse. he welcomed me from the depths with a bottle of rare wine bought at auction, which we twirled sophisticatedly in stemware (giggling at our pretension) next to his lush garden, with his awkward maid-slave and pet finches eyeing us curiously from the peripheral. aside from the initial catch up, we spent the days idly doing our own thing, existing in friendly silence, until the evenings when we would meet up and ride his motorbike through the drab streets, to a strange korean massage place where tiny women in robes poked at us clumsily while fellow massage recipients moaned in sleepy pleasure from adjacent recliners. to a gun range where i shot a handgun for the 3rd time in my life, but was shocked neverless by it's terrifying force and volume. and to decadent dinners of ostrich steaks and champagne, followed by the requisite touring of the dens of sin which pervade the small steamy town populated mostly by the male gender and those who serve them. i am not ashamed to admit i feel entirely comfortable in whorehouses. the girls who work there have a background i can relate to, a hardness i can empathize with, and they recognize that in me and open up in a way they can't do with their customers. they are definitely more interesting than the average person i meet, and i can chat all night about life with these girls. the filipino ones are so disarmingly sweet compared to their thai counterparts that i leave them intoxicated, in their little bikinis, to their aging patrons in their dim bars blaring cheese pop quite reluctantly, with affectionate embraces, feeling like sisters. 'x' and i also managed a couple trips to the (male) 'hosto' bars, for old times' sake, to watch the 'exotic boys' dance innocently in tighty whiteys with muscles rippling, shooting fetching glances towards wrinkled ladies in sparse wigs who tip glasses in the audience. the transexual counterparts lisp horrid renditions of 70s ballads from underneath garish costumes, and the spurious waiters hustle you constantly for overpriced drinks. ah- asia is home, even these skeletons which should be relegated to deep dark closets of eastern history ironically make me feel safe and accepted and unrestrained and alive.
i left 'x' with a formal pat on the back, gulping down a lump in my throat, as always (we are now grown up enough not to sob openly as we did as kids). him being able to see right through me, he left me with plenty of advice on how to get on track with work so i can one day enjoy the freedom he does. he also suggested professional counseling for the fact that in reaction to trauma in my teens, my development has been stunted and i am frozen in the guise of a puerile, rebellious, antisocial and diffident girl, whose progression is impeded and who is pathetically bottlenecked and repressed. i trust his blunt assessment, because i wouldn't be where i am today (which is on the right path overall) without having taken his advice every time before. and so i left the philippines for thailand with a feeling that i do have some "family" after all whom i can depend on and trust, and to whom i will be thus be thankfully devoted until i die. and that was that.
back in thailand feeling so glad i made this trip.


All the way back in 2012, Samsung created a new file system purpose-built for flash-based storage, called 'F2FS'. It's typically faster on smartphones than the ext4 file system that most Android devices use, but it has suffered from reliability issues over the years. Google apparently thinks it's ready for prime-time though, as the Pixel 3 and 3 XL both use F2FS for local storage.
Android apps generally work well on Chrome OS these days, but there was one nagging issue left unresolved - file management. While you could access the Chrome OS Downloads folder from Android apps, the Chrome Files app couldn't see the entire Android file system. At long last, that is finally changing.
Android has supported external drives connected via USB for years, but the file system support hasn't been great. Paragon Software has been developing disk and file management software for years, and back in 2012 even released a root-only app for mounting exFAT and NTFS drives on Android. Now the company has released "exFAT/NTFS for Total Commander," finally allowing access to more file systems without root.
Over the last few years, few topics have been more hotly contested by Android users and developers than how SD cards are handled by the OS. Back in February, I discussed some of Google's changes during the transition from Android 2.3 to 4.0, and then how more recent policy changes ultimately led to 3rd-party applications losing most of their access to removable storage. By the time I/O came around, Google acknowledged that KitKat's newly added Storage Access Framework still didn't offer enough range for apps to get their work done. With the release of the L Developer Preview, new APIs were added to allow apps to request access to directories owned by other providers.
Android 4.4 contained a number of interesting and very powerful features for developers, many of which went unused or misunderstood for quite a long time. Since it was introduced in KitKat, The Storage Access Framework (SAF) may be one of the best examples of an API that has been underutilized, despite offering a great method to provide cleaner and more informative interfaces. I even theorized that it may ultimately take the place of file system access. A big limiting factor of the SAF has been its very granular interaction with files. With the L release, that hinderance is going away as the Storage Access Framework has been expanded to allow providers to grant full read and write access to entire subdirectories.
External Blues Redux: Apps Still Have A Loophole For Writing To The SD Card On KitKat, But For How Long?
When we last left our favorite removable storage device, OEMs had begun adopting Google's policy for restricting write access to SD cards. Given the nature of the Android community, it was probably safe to assume the story wouldn't simply end with some people rooting to re-enable classic file system access and the rest passively accepting that the SD slot was just for decoration.
Last month we posted an article examining some very significant changes to the way SD cards could be accessed and how Google's partner OEMs had begun enforcing these restrictions with Android 4.4. There can be no doubt, a lot of people were displeased to see their expandable storage crippled. While some have vowed to never update to KitKat, and others have turned to custom ROMs that don't enforce the same rules, there are still many people that still want to have the best of both worlds. Thanks to SDFix by developer Tod Liebeck, it's possible to restore the SD card to its former glory on a rooted stock ROM in just a few seconds.
In recent years, Google hasn't exactly been known as particularly hospitable toward SD cards with regard to its Android operating system. This theme is most often associated with the Nexus line of devices - the Nexus One was the only such handset to ever offer expandable storage. But despite arguments from Dan Morrill and Matias Duarte suggesting this stance is about keeping the Android interface simple and file picker-free, people still want more space. Google is apparently firming up its position on expandable storage even further, though, and in a way that limits flexibility and changes how we can use it.
Most of the file systems in use today were designed in an era when rotating discs ruled the world. Well, as things have shifted more toward NAND flash-based storage in mobile devices the problems with older file systems have been more visible. Samsung has just tackled the problem by designing a new file system called F2FS that's geared toward flash storage specifically. What's better, it is open source and has been submitted to the Linux kernel. This makes it perfect for implementation in Android.
This isn't the first time Samsung tried to deploy a new file system. RFS was used on the original Galaxy S phones with catastrophic results.

A couple comments. I rely on a good reason to believe as do all scientists. A good reason to believe involves empirical studies based on the epistemological assumption of methodological naturalism. I do think for myself constantly. I evaluate those studies, particularly with regard to design and statistical analysis. I have very harsh criticisms about the analytical side. THe brain regions affected by withdrawal of addictive drugs are primarily the opioid areas. The areas of the brain involved in withdrawal from antidepressants, for instance, are unrelated to those of addictive drugs. Everyone wants to hear one cause for one effect. The world is much more complicated than a one cause one effect model. Multiple causes for similar distal effects (withdrawal symptoms)occur not only in but also the rest of biology, chemistry, physics, meterology and geology, for instance. Avoiding most "withdrawal" symptoms from going off medication is generally easier with a gradual withdrawal. Please elaborate your findings and results in terms that link it all together and in terms of a good reason to believe. You can be sure I will read it and offer criticisms of the analytical aspects just as I do for the studies I have mentioned. Yes, I can be an irritant on both sides of the debate.

PRIMUS. 17 Starts. 4-1-5 $524,780.
Won Kensington Tramway Quality [G3] (1400 m.), Randwick Show County Quality [L] (1200 m.), Ming Dynasty Quality H. [L] (1400 m.), Canterbury 3 YO Colts and Geldings Class 3 H. (1100 m.). 2d Randwick Stan Fox S. [G2] . 3d Randwick Canterbury Guineas [G1] , Rosehill Rosehill Guineas [G1] , Caulfield Caulfield Guineas [G1] , Rosehill Expressway S. [G2] , Canterbury 3 YO Colts and Geldings Class 3 H. 4th Randwick Australian Derby [G1] , Rosehill Apollo S. [G2].
Primus started his race career a day after turning three with a win in a Class 3 at Canterbury, beating Speedy Duke and Longhorn.
He then went on to place third in another Class 3 race at Canterbury two weeks later.
Primus then stepped out in the Listed Ming Dynasty Quality at just his third start and had to contend with the outside barrier. The colt kicked away topping the rise, recording a 1 1/2 length victory over REPLICATOR and MANTON. Finishing fifth was subsequent Spring Champion Stakes winner HOTEL GRAND.
"If you go back to the Ming Dynasty, he beat Manton and Hotel Grand easily", O'Shea said, "Paratroopers just has experience over us".
Primus' fifth start in the Group One Caulfield Guineas was marred by interference and a wide berth throughout the race. Despite the less than ideal run, Primus charged home in the straight to finish third in a field of horses that included STRATUM, SILENT ECHO, APACHE CAT and GOD's OWN.
Trainer John O'Shea was thrilled with the colt's performance.
"Under the circumstances, it was a massive run," O'Shea said. "He couldn't have done anymore after the interference".
During his 3 yr old career Primus went on to run luckless 3rds in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes, Group 1 Randwick Guineas, the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas and a fourth in the AJC Derby. Many good judges were saying that he was the best 3yo colt in the country.
Primus came back into the stable during the Spring as a 4yo, and after blowing them away at his barrier trial, he won the Listed Show County Quality over 1200m at Randwick on August 26, beating home Resistor, Malcolm, Dream Ballad and Doncaster Handicap winner, Patezza.
During the same preparation he scored his first Group 3 victory in the Tramway Handicap at Randwick, beating home STORMHILL, FLAMING, and Group 1 winners PATEZZA and MNEMOSYNE, franking his form as a top line stallion prospect.

Verge.io | November 09, 2022
Verge.io, a leader in private cloud software, today announced that it saw the second straight quarter of record quarter-over-quarter growth driven by both new customer acquisition and existing customer expansion. To further capitalize on these transformative opportunities, the company appointed Mike Wall as chairman of its board of directors. In Q3 Verge.io closed over 3x more annual recurring revenue (ARR) than Q2, for the 2nd best quarter in company history. This continued upward trajectory is the result of existing customers increasing their deployment of the Verge-OS virtualization software and acquisition of new customers replacing their incumbent implementations due to cost, complexity, inability to scale and lack of ransomware protection. Additionally, Verge.io increased sales velocity, even closing new logos in a matter of weeks. Verge.io also ended Q3 with the strongest pipeline in company history. Multiple transformative opportunities were added to the pipeline that would exponentially increase top line. In addition, numerous new distribution channels are under review that would dramatically increase sales velocity in 2023. These successful results are in part due to Verge.io's recent expansion of sales and marketing efforts to educate potential customers on the company's ability to simplify the software defined data center into a single, powerful piece of software that runs on commodity hardware. These efforts, a newly launched website and a new technical wiki and online self-paced training system have earned the attention of analysts and editors. To help continue the momentum that Verge.io is building, the company recruited Mike Wall to serve as its chairman. Wall spent 15 years at Intel, ran its storage division, then spent time at a few VC-backed early-stage ventures in the storage space. His repeated, high-multiple exits in the space further positions Verge.io to capitalize on recent growth to add market valuation. "Coming off of a record-breaking quarter makes this is an exciting time to be a part of the Verge.io team and I look forward to helping continue the sales velocity that we've achieved," said Wall. "From increasing our market visibility to growing our pipeline of global customers to quickly closing sales opportunities, we've developed a strong foundation for success. The future is bright for further building our business and providing customers with the cost and IT simplicity that they need." "Such strong quarter-over-quarter success shows that our efforts to provide a single piece of software that simplifies the data center process and offers a secure multitenancy for clouds is resonating in the marketplace, We are very pleased with the results of Q3 2022 given that we launched our website only 7 months ago and most of our sales team has only been in place for 6 months. From increased bookings with new and existing customers, expanded partnership opportunities and adding experience to our executive board, Verge.io is poised to continue its pattern of growth as we provide a better alternative to traditional legacy cloud architectures that are too complex and require too much management." Yan Ness, Verge.io CEO Verge-OS software delivers virtualized data centers with more compelling economics and efficiencies than competing platforms. Verge-OS abstracts compute, network, and storage from commodity servers and creates pools of raw resources that are simple to run and manage by an IT generalist. A single license replaces disparate hypervisor, network, storage, data protection, and management tools to simplify technology stacks. Secure virtual data centers based on Verge-OS include all enterprise data services like global deduplication, disaster recovery, continuous data protection, snapshots, long-distance synch, and auto-failover. About Verge.io Verge.io provides a simpler way to virtualize data centers and end IT infrastructure complexity. The company's Verge OS software is the first and only fully integrated virtual cloud software stack to build, deploy and manage virtual data centers. Verge-OS delivers significant capital savings, increased operational efficiencies, reduced risk, and rapid scalability.

THE HISTORY OF THE ORCHARD STARKVILLE
In January of 2017 The Orchard Church launched it's Starkville location at Starkville High School. Wes and Kristen Schrickel are the founding pastors of The Orchard Starkville and now serve alongside great staff and volunteers, and in August 2020 began meeting at The Wesley Foundation on the campus of Mississippi State University. Though Starkville is a university town, The Orchard Starkville feels great importance in getting out in the community and loving on the local people of Starkville in unique ways - such as hosting movie nights, tailgating at high school football games, Easter egg hunts, and fall festivals - any way to connect with the community and to live out the gospel. At the same time, we also realize that we have this great opportunity - with over 20,000 students at MSU, we are able to disciple and to pour into students who are here for a short time at school - and then will go back home, or to their next city, state or across the world to make an impact for Christ's Kingdom. While we have already experienced some amazing things God has done over the past few years in Starkville and at The Orchard, but we know with great anticipation that He's not finished with all He will do!

Q: CentOS 7 SSHD and automounted home directories?
*

*Create a home directory export on a separate server.

*Create a second, local home directory on the test CentOS 7 server.

*Make sure the local and NFS homedirs have the same UID, GID and permissions.

*Put the same .ssh/authorized_keys file, using a public key from the test account on a third server.

*SSHD via systemctl looks for $OPTIONS, but the variable is not set in /etc/sysconfig/sshd.

Case 1: Test SSH login using the local homedir. No password required.
Case 2: Test SSH login using the NFS/autofs homedir. authorized_keys gets ignored, but password works.
Case 3: systemctl stop sshd and /usr/sbin/sshd to start SSHD in the foreground. No password required with either homedir.
So, something is weird about the combination of the systemctl started SSHD and NFS/autofs homedirs?
What am I missing?

A: It was an SELinux thing. Get onto the NFS server and execute
semanage fcontext -a -t ssh_home_t '/exports/[^/]+/\.ssh(/.*)?'
restorecon -v -r /exports/$USER

assuming you serve your NFS shares from `/exports'.

Q: PyParsing: Parsing the 'pyparsing.ParseResults' class I am writing a boolean expression analyzer using PyParsing, I got the pyparsing.ParseResults class which looks like this:
[[[[['A1'], 'and', ['not', ['B2']], 'and', [[['C3'], 'or', [['D3'], ' and ', [' F2 ']]]]],' or ', [[' F2 '],' and ', [' G2 ']]]]]
The question is how to parse the resulting class instance before answering.
In my case A1, B2 are variables containing float
not - will return a negative value of the operand (not 0.5 = -0.5)
and - must select the minimum of the operands (0.2 and 0.3 and 0.4 = 0.2)
or - must select the maximum of the operands (0.2 or 0.3 or 0.4 = 0.4)
My code:
import pyparsing as pp

def parsing(parse_string):
    complex_expr = pp.Forward()
    vars = pp.Word(pp.alphas, pp.alphanums)
    clause = pp.Group(vars ^ (pp.Suppress("(") + complex_expr + pp.Suppress(")") ))

    expr = pp.infixNotation(clause,[
                                ('not', 1, pp.opAssoc.RIGHT,),
                                ("and", 2, pp.opAssoc.LEFT, ),
                                ("or", 2, pp.opAssoc.LEFT, ),])
    complex_expr << expr
    parse_result=complex_expr.parseString(parse_string)
    return parse_result

parse_result = parsing('( A1 and not B2 and ( C3 or D3 and F2 ) or F2 and G2 )')

It's the virtual golf clubhouse that has more than a million members
Golf GameBook is an app with a social twist – and is perfect for on-course and virtual get-togethers. Steve Carroll chatted to its creator
by Steve Carroll | August 4, 2022 | Kit
Arto Joensuu doesn't want you just to think of Golf GameBook as an app. He sees it as a community.
There is nothing else quite like the Finnish firm's tech out there for golfers. Part stats-gatherer, part social media platform, it's wants to do far more than just tell you how good you are from 100 yards and in.
Ever been called out by your Facebook friends for sticking yet another video of a lovely golf course on your feed? We feel you. You're about to find your natural home here.
"Golf is a massive niche," Arto, Golf GameBook's chief operating officer, tells NCG. "What we've seen is that there's only a finite amount of golf related content that people want to share on their traditional social profiles.
"It's like having that friend on Facebook who love cats and it's, 'OK, just keep it to 5%.' But if pictures of their cats is 80% it gets boring.
"It's the same with golf but then, on Golf GameBook, you know that everyone is just as twisted mentally around the game that it's fine. You can share the golf related banter and content in that space."
So you can create stories, add pictures, share scores, talk golf, and do it every time you're on the course.
Create a diary of your golfing memories, one that's always on hand, seared into your profile, and which can be shared with all your pals.
Think of it as a virtual clubhouse – one that now has more than a million registered users all over the world. It certainly adds some spice to a weekday roll-up.
Golf GameBook doesn't just exist, though, in the digital world. It might be how you engage, but you can use it to run your real-life rounds.
Add in your fourball, choose the format, enter the handicaps, set nearest the pin, longest and straightest drive contests, and then off you go.
Enter the scores and it does the rest, with gross scores, how you're doing to par or points, and a leaderboard. No more need for paper and pencil.
Challenges are a huge part of the fun. Whether that's with your friends, or through the web. Can you hit 25 greens in a month? Who really is the longest driver? Compare yourself against a global audience and win prizes to boot.
It's a lot more fun than just looking at strokes gained. But stats remain an important part of the Golf GameBook offering and the company have designed their features with their customers in mind.
"What we've introduced in this latest version has been very much a result of the feedback we're getting," Arto adds.
"We're quite active in asking the community what kind of features they would want. Going forward, we want to bring in the stats perhaps from a bit of different angle – having that social component where you can compare to another person and then goal setting where you can have an aspirational target that you can strive against."
Because, despite the unique social element, Golf GameBook is still grounded in trying to help you play better golf. And its core is the digital scorecard.
"That's where you document your scores and you maintain your handicap and, naturally when you do that, statistics start playing a role."
Click a map and a GPS hole guide fills the screen, allowing you to plot the best way around the course. Set yourself a handicap target and then use the categories to drill down and make it happen.
You'd expect to see a breakdown of birdies, pars, and bogeys, which fairways you've hit and how. But here you'll also see how your score changes depending on whether you've found or sailed the short stuff.
You can laser down to just how much finding the fairway matters when it comes to getting on a green in regulation and see how and where you're trailing your pals on the numbers front.
Arto explains: "We've introduced a lot more in terms of the stats offering – in terms of the individual stats you can collect.
"How close were you to the hole when you hit your first putt? How many penalty shots? How many chips? From that data, you can get a really well-rounded overview of where the areas of your game are where you fall short.
"You can set yourself goals. If you play off eight and you want to get down to six, the app will collect all the statistics from six handicappers, compare those to your eight, and give you guidance in terms of fairways hit, or in terms of average putts, and this is how much you need to shave off from your current handicap to get there.
"Then that social component comes into play. If we're friends and we've played three, four, or how many rounds we've played together, we can compare our stats. We can have a head-to-head comparison."
Enhance the Golf GameBook experience with a Gold membership and you get even more. GPS maps that expand into hole-by-hole statistics. You can turn on a Private Game mode – to get out on the course and collect all your stats but hide your presence from the outside world – and you can also run multi-group tournaments.
So, if you haven't yet opened up a new world of golf, make sure to give it a try. You can have confidence that the people behind Golf GameBook are just like you. A community of passionate golfers.
"Everyone at the office is really into golf," Arto says. "It's easier to get feedback because we're building the value proposition for you as a golfer. We do have a really active dialogue with our community to get their insights and their feedback as well."
Golf GameBook is available from the Apple Store and Google Play.

Google's venture capital arm GV invests in networking startup Plexxi
Based in Nashua, New Hampshire, Plexxi is known for its line of switches used in data centers and enterprise IT networks.
By Natalie Gagliordi for Between the Lines | January 20, 2016 -- 14:49 GMT (06:49 PST) | Topic: Networking
Networking startup Plexxi says it has received a funding investment from GV, Google's venture capital arm formerly known as Google Ventures.
Plexxi did not disclose the specific size of the GV investment. But to date the startup has raised around $83 million from several rounds of funding since 2010, most recently a $35 million in Series D back in September.
Previous investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, and North Bridge Venture Partners.
Based in Nashua, New Hampshire, Plexxi is known for its line of switches used in data centers and enterprise IT networks. The company emphasizes applications over infrastructure in order to reduce the required number of switches found in traditional architectures.
Plexxi faces a bevy of competitors in the networking space, ranging from legacy vendors to startups. Just yesterday software defined networking player Big Switch announced that it has raised $48.5 million in additional venture capital to expand into the financial services, government and telecom sectors.
Plexxi says it plans to use GV's cash injection to continue to scale its networking product offerings and company operations.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Zack Granite admitted the time since being called up to the Twins has been one of the craziest periods of his life.
On Wednesday, Granite culminated the chaos with a second-inning single to collect the first two RBIs of his Major League career. His two-out single sparked a six-run outburst, and the Twins never looked back in the eventual 6-1 victory over the Yankees at Target Field.
"It's been probably the craziest week of my life," Granite said. "But it's been awesome. This is every kid's dream, and I get to live it right now."
Granite was initially called up to the Twins a couple of days before the All-Star break for a then-injured Joe Mauer. He then spent the break back at home before rejoining the team in Houston, and he has been with the Twins for the six games since, now for Byron Buxton, who is on the disabled list.
But it hasn't been all smooth sailing for Granite as he enjoys his first taste of the big leagues.
Entering Wednesday's finale, Granite was 2-for-22 with one double and a pair of strikeouts. After leading the International League in batting average (.360), Granite was desperate to start hitting at the highest level.
"I told him this morning that I know the hits have been hard to come by, but it's just by a tick," Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. "He's had an opportunity to play here, and I'm sure he's a little frustrated it hasn't gone well in terms of outcomes, but he's been handling it well so far."
Granite responded from Molitor's advice in his first at-bat. He watched the first curveball from New York lefty Jordan Montgomery go by for a strike and then prepared for another bender.
Montgomery went back to the curveball, this time catching too much of the zone, and Granite ripped it through the middle to drive in the game's first runs.
To do it against the very team he grew up rooting for made it that much sweeter.
"Sometimes I just stand back and look up and go, 'I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now,'" Granite said. "Growing up from New York, huge Yankee fan, but it was good to go out and beat them today. It's exactly what we needed to do."
The two-out outburst by the Twins came one day after the team went 2-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
Naturally, it took the team's No. 9 hitter, who had been hitting as high as second recently, to break the slump -- even if it warranted some angry texts from his friends and family, who are Yankee fans.
"They are probably cursing at me," Granite said. "But it's good, everyone is rooting for me. I have a lot of fans back home. This has been a dream come true so far."
