The A.R.M. (Automatic Ripping Machine) detects the insertion of an optical disc, identifies the type of media, and autonomously performs the appropriate action:

• DVD / Blu-ray -> Rip with MakeMKV and Transcode with Handbrake
• Audio CD -> Rip and Encode to FLAC and Tag the files if possible.
• Data Disc -> Make an ISO backup
  It runs on Linux, it’s completely headless and fully automatic requiring no interaction or manual input to complete its tasks (other than inserting the disk).  Once it completes a rip it ejects the disc for you and you can pop in another one.

What separates us from the Third World in our politics, he opined, are the twin concepts of peaceful transfer of power via the ballot box rather than by military intervention and the unwritten and unspoken principle that victors do not use the police power of the state to punish the vanquished. Without the second concept, no sane person will ever relinquish office if they run the risk of ending up imprisoned or on the gallows. Once politics become a blood sport, he said, there is no way to stop the slide into rule by people with guns. //

Contrary to Goldberg, no one thinks former presidents are above the law. But just about everyone, except him and Williamson, are smart enough to realize when the prosecution is political and when it is criminal.

I don’t know how we back away from this ledge, and as the days go by, I care less and less whether we do or we don’t. I don’t think I’m alone.

I'm very pleased to announce the extension OneButtonInstaller (OBI) which is meant as a centralized extension manager and an attempt to get a common interface for hassle-free installing of extensions to XigmaNAS systems without the need to work with system console or shell CLI.

The aim to create this extension was the reason that many other systems provide such an interface for the installation of extensions, add-ons and plug-ins already (FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault, pfSense, etc ...). On the basis of the Push Button Installer system I decided to name this extension OneButtonInstaller even if it don't compete in no way with this much more complex installer system.

By using Mikrotik, we can monitor the flow of packets based on protocol type, source address, destination address and port types. With this facility has been provided at Packet System, when we install RouterOS, it is easier for us in the administration of the router, out of this facility, we can tell whether the data flow in the machine we're normal or not. Monitor the occurrence of flooding, monitor malware activities and so on.

Using it is fairly easy, usually to be more comfortable in Monitoring, please enabled via Winbox, to get into the Router. More details can be seen the picture below.

Facilities Torch can be used with Winbox the Tools menu - Torch. Please Click the Torch, the Torch will be shown a window

If you already have an OAuth2 access token, you can pass it in the "Authorization" header:

wget --header "Authorization: Bearer <your access token>" -O file "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/LONG_ID_STRING/export?gid=0&format=csv"

Unfortunately, that's the simple part. Getting an OAuth2 access token on the command line is more challenging.

You should first create your own project in the API Console or Cloud Platform console, which will give you your own OAuth2 client id and client secret.

Next, from the Google OAuth2 Developer Playground at https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/, you could then get an access token (and more importantly, a refresh token) with offline access, for the scopes https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets (and probably https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive), using your Client Id and Client Secret under the "OAuth 2.0 configuration" (it's the Settings icon - the little gear in the top right), by checking "Use your own OAuth credentials".

After you've added your client id and client secret, you can work through the steps on the left to ultimately get an access token and the refresh token.

Frustrated by a slew of conservative legal victories, Democrats introduced the TERM Act, which would establish 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, after which they would “assume senior status,” a quasi-retirement that drastically reduces their caseload and corresponding influence. To fill these vacancies, the president would appoint a new justice during the first and third years of his term. Cast as “an effort to restore legitimacy and independence to the nation’s highest court,” the TERM Act would ironically undermine both, transforming the court from an institution of law to a panel of politicians. //

Our Founding Fathers created the judiciary to be the “bulwark” of a limited government. Judges were to keep the federal government and its constituent parts in their proper spheres of authority and safeguard political minorities against the depredations of the governing class. To do either, however, the framers understood that the judiciary must be independent of Congress and the president. Otherwise, warned James Madison, “the stronger faction c[ould] readily unite and oppress the weaker,” rendering the Constitution’s guarantees an empty promise.

Life tenure completely severs “all sense of dependence” between the judiciary and the politicians responsible for their commission, empowering judges to check government excess without fear for their livelihoods. If enacted, the TERM Act would spell the demise of judicial independence. Justices would no longer decide cases in accordance with the letter and spirit of the law. Instead, concern for future employment would sway reason and undermine the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as an impartial arbiter of the law. //

the TERM Act endangers our constitutional design and the individual liberty it secures.

As China conducted live-fire drills near Taiwan, the Biden administration announced it would delay a routine U.S. missile test to avoid escalating tensions with China after Pelosi’s visit.

Why was the Biden administration concerned about placating Beijing when Beijing was the one who antagonized the escalation? Why didn’t the Biden administration respond to China’s sanctions on Pelosi and her family by imposing sanctions on PLA generals and their families?

Furthermore, the Biden administration’s inaction has failed to de-escalate the tension in Taiwan Strait. And because of this, last week, Beijing was emboldened to declare that it would extend military drills “indefinitely” before it decided to wind them down shortly after that.

Inaction is the last thing that will deter the PLA from invading Taiwan. If China perceives a consistent gap between the U.S. government’s actions and rhetoric on Taiwan, its military may grow more aggressive. Regardless of the outcome, a Chinese invasion of Taiwan will incur an enormous cost for all parties involved.

“This is how I’m praying,” Hibbs told Perkins. “Dear God, please expose the lies and falsehood that is tearing our nation apart. Reveal those; bring them to the surface. The Scripture says for us to expose wickedness. There’s no greater way than for God to do that. And so, I lean to Him to do that.”

“Secondly,” Hibbs continued, “pray that our leaders who know the truth stand up and speak up and use the God-given authority that they have inherited from the Lord as an elected official, to use that that opportunity rightly. And thirdly, I would say this: When we pray, we need to pray for God’s will to be done.”

Placing our nation in God’s hands risks receiving an answer we might not prefer. “You and I love the Constitution. We understand its origins, and how it honors God and honors the individual rights of every person,” Hibbs told Perkins. “But Tony, clearly, we have people in power today who do not believe in the Constitution, and this has been going on for a long time now. Is it possible, Tony, that we as believers are watching the death throes, as it were, of our republic? Lincoln made it very clear that we’re too strong to be destroyed from the outside, that if we’re ever going to be destroyed, it would be from within.”

“So, I’m praying, ‘Lord, expose the wickedness, but at the same time strengthen our leaders who are right with You. And Lord, please send revival to our nation,’” Hibbs summarized.

Following the contentious 2000 election of President George W. Bush, former President Jimmy Carter and Republican James Baker co-chaired the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform. It issued a 100-plus-page document called “Building Confidence in U.S. Elections,” which treated election integrity, public accountability, and transparency seriously, and as vitally important to that goal.

Following the much more contentious 2020 election, we have instead been treated to an endless stream of official apologetics which seeks to convince the general public that this election “was one of the most secure in our history,” and that anybody who questions the results is acting in bad faith.

Now we have a recently released “bombshell” report by prominent Never Trump attorneys and politicians claiming to make “The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election” (the Ginsberg Report), which seeks to assure us that even conservatives should believe that the 2020 election was beyond reproach and that there really is no useful point in continuing to discuss or debate it anymore

Rather than attempting an objective analysis of the 2020 election, the Ginsberg Report seems to have a different purpose. It appears to be intended to shut down reasonable debate about election integrity by linking all such claims with the most extravagant and unprovable theories of election fraud that were circulated by some Trump supporters in the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election.

The objective is not to debunk the wild, baseless theories, but rather to dismiss valid election objections by tarring them with the same brush as the wildest conspiracy theories under the general rubric of “baseless claims of widespread election fraud,” and then dismiss the entire package out of hand.

He chose Mitchell's Lake, 10 miles south of San Antonio, as the site for his new improved bat roost. "No swamp in the low lands could be worse," Campbell later wrote. All of the city's sewage flowed into the lake and seepage ponds created perfect mosquito breeding conditions. It was a place where travelers were "compelled to whip up their teams to escape the onslaughts of mosquitoes." The tenant farmers who occupied the land surrounding the lake lived with such conditions from spring through fall. Mosquitoes bred in such numbers that at times the farmers were driven from their fields, leaving crops to ruin. Their livestock suffered as well; cows were emaciated and produced little milk, and chickens had pale combs and laid no eggs. Hardly a family escaped malarial infection, and two to four deaths occurred each year. In the spring of 1911, the year Campbell's new bat tower was built, he examined 87 adults and children living around the lake. Seventy-eight had malaria. //

In 1914, four years after the Mitchell's Lake roost was built, duck hunters told Campbell that they could now remain in their blinds until after dark because there were so many less mosquitoes. That summer Campbell began collecting testimonials from the tenant farmers around Mitchell's Lake. They all reported much the same thing: they could now irrigate their fields at night without hoards of mosquitoes attacking them, their work animals were healthy, and there had been no sickness in their families. Campbell didn't find a single case of malaria where four years before 89% of those tested had the disease.

During that same year, the Bexar County Medical Society endorsed Campbell's work, and on June 8, 1914 the City Council of San Antonio passed an ordinance making it unlawful for anyone to kill a bat within the city limits, levying fines from $5 to $200 for each bat killed. Soon after, they appropriated $3,000 of City funds to build another bat tower, the first Municipal Bat Roost in San Antonio or anywhere else. Not to be outdone, the Texas State Board of Health also endorsed Campbell's work and passed their recommendations on to the State Legislature to make it a misdemeanor to kill bats within the entire state. The Governor signed it into law on March 10, 1917.

The original Mitchell's Lake bat tower gained such fame that Campbell opened the area to the public, providing seats and picnic benches for people to watch the evening emergence in comfort. Several more towers were built around San Antonio, and eventually a total of 16 were erected from Texas to Italy, the last one in 1929. The guano harvest from the Mitchell's Lake roost in 1921 was 4,558 pounds, two tons of dry, ready-to-use bat guano with almost double the nitrogen content than cave guano, an amount repeated year after year. At its peak, Campbell estimated that the Mitchell's Lake roost contained over a quarter of a million bats. //

In the mid-1950's, rabies hysteria gripped Texas and bats were taken off the State's protected species list. The end of the bat roost that had once gained the admiration of the world passed without much notice.
