Claim: Americans affected by Hurricane Helene receive ‘only $750’ in aid

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

The $750 payments are the initial support provided under a new FEMA program, not the sole financial assistance available. Applications can be made for multiple additional forms of financial support for those affected by the hurricane.

Claim: FEMA loans money to disaster victims and takes their land if it’s not paid back

FEMA can’t seize property or land from people who apply for federal disaster assistance. The agency's aid does not typically need to be paid back.

Claim: Biden administration spent FEMA hurricane relief money on ‘illegals’

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

FEMA and a White House spokesperson both said the claim is false. It conflates the agency's disaster relief fund with a separate program that helps homeless people. The money provided by Congress for the disaster relief fund must be used for that purpose, and any other use is against the law.

Claim: NEXRAD, doppler radar and HAARP were used to control path of Hurricane Helene

𝙐𝙎𝘼 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙍𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚

It is not possible to control the weather at a large scale, experts said. HAARP studies the ionosphere, and there is no known mechanism for affecting the weather from there. Doppler radars such as NEXRAD also cannot control storms, according to experts.

Claim: Kid Rock donated millions of dollars of supplies to North Carolina; Taylor Swift gave nothing

The claim originated on a satirical website. While Taylor Swift donated $5 million to help hurricane victims, there's no evidence Rock provided aid.

I've been an amateur radio operator since 1976. Currently KD9LTQ. Thanks for posting this!

@matuzalem

I'd be interested in how all this goes. Post your results.

@matuzalem

Amen.

@matuzalem

Just read this. Boring is in fact good. No flashy crap, just good ol' stability.

Between 2001 and 2005, I had a FreeBSD box as a file server. It sat in a closet humming away quietly all that time. When I moved in '05 it was the last thing shut down. When I looked at uptime, It had never been restarted. Not once.

Wow, thanks for the link! I'm going to have another look at BSD, I think.

@matuzalem

I currently use Debian version 12. I haven't used BSD in years, but I always liked it. You need to lock something down TIGHT? Use BSD.

Why do #Republicans never learn? In another viral moment, Pete #Buttigieg humiliated another #MAGA mook who thought he could take Pete down during a live, televised hearing. Oops. Within 30 seconds the tool was a sputtering mess who looked like he might cry. Ya see, Buttigieg is..better. Smarter, quicker, wittier, more personable. Yet, thankfully, they keep trying.

TrashProBSD? What command gives you that status window? Looks like 'top' but with more goodies.

@matuzalem

Totally agree.
