NEW: I heard from federal employees across various agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump and how they feel going forward in their jobs. A clear theme? They are scared - and also pissed off and hunkering down to fight. "Fuck that." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

There are a number of spots of nerdview which make the @icinga.com install instructions difficult to follow; the Debian ones, at icinga.com/docs/icinga-... and these Suse ones don't help enough. www.tecmint.com/install-icin... Who owns that doco material, administratively?

The Press is the ONLY private enterprise specifically given enumerated rights in the Constitution. This was done because in America, The Press was supposed to be the watchdog of liberty. Instead, American Journalism has become the willing lapdog of fascism.
