Right now, I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?

Only you can answer this. How many days of data are you prepared to lose? What are the downsides of running your backup scripts more frequently?

‘The Hague Invasion Act’

While I was looking for a Christ the Redeemer keycap (posted pic in another comment) I came across another statue keycap that is even pointier than the one in the original post:

source: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1830835231/statue-of-liberty-keycap3d-printing

It looks like someone has done it at some point! Though with a blocky head and in bronze colour for some reason. It turned up in image results and looks like it is from a deleted Etsy listing, so it’s not available any more.

There’s plenty of Christ the Redeemer 3D models available (eg. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3636051), which should be pretty easy to adapt to keycap for anyone who can do 3D modelling.

The same company actually sells two other licensed 40k keycaps that would be quite impractical, just not as much as the statue. The two pointy helmets make the other helmets and the macrocannons look comfortable by comparison.

That would be awesome 😆

EDIT: This fucker developed a short within like an hour of my closing the case back up. Now I have to either use my multi-meter to learn the entire 130-key matrix, or I have to desolder all the switches and kill the calculator function to turn the board into a hand-wired custom, though that would allow the left side function keys to be different from the top-row ones. Sigh.

Damn it! From a historical preservation perspective I hope you try to restore the original electronics, but I realise that could be a lot of hassle. Good luck whatever route you choose!

I’m an Australian, and I also don’t know why I know Oodnadatta! Probably it’s just one of those words that sticks in the brain, and it comes up every so often because it is a key point between Adelaide and Darwin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oodnadatta (population 102)

Wittenoom, WA - population 0

I didn’t instantly recognise the name, but I’ve heard the story.

Coober Pedy, SA - population 1437

This is a very solid one.

@gnu@lemmy.zip beat me to the punch with Port Arthur, and I think they’ve hit the nail on the head there. Although, as they note, maybe the name recognition isn’t there for younger generations.

Here’s some suggestions that haven’t been made yet:

• Gundegai - population 2,057 (2021 census) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundagai
  • Featured in songs and poetry, most famously Along the Road to Gundegai
  • ‘The Dog on the Tucker Box’ sits on the road outside the town (and is itself a reference to a poem mentioning Gundegai)
• Betoota - population 3 (2023) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betoota,_Queensland
  • Known because its name was adopted by the satirical news website The Betoota Advocate

The initial Israeli evacuation area was within 2 kilometres of the border with Lebanon. There seem to have been some expansion of evacuations since, but I believe it’s still only within a few kilometers of the border. Estimates in March were that about 60,000 Israeli citizens remain evacuated (source: AP).

The IDF camp in this article is around 55 kilometres from the Lebanese border, and about 30 kilometres south of Haifa (a city which is not evacuated) (source: ABC News (AU)).

Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010) and The Cabin in the Woods (2012) (go in spoiler-free with this one) are both good comedy horror.

Marinara.

The designation is particularly ridiculous considering it was the US that ran a campaign of terrorism against Cuba: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mongoose
