So long and thanks for all the fish.

Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.

Precursor

Odd Fellows lodges were first documented in 1730 in England from which many organizations emerged.

While several unofficial Odd Fellows lodges had existed in New York City sometime in the period 1806 to 1818, the American Odd Fellows is regarded as being founded with Washington Lodge No 1 in Baltimore at the Seven Stars Tavern on April 26, 1819, by Thomas Wildey along with some associates who assembled in response to a newspaper advertisement. The following year, the lodge affiliated with the Independent Order of Oddfellows Manchester Unity was granted the authority to institute new lodges. Wildey had joined the Grand United Order of Oddfellows in 1804, then joined its splinter order, Independent Order of Oddfellows Manchester Unity, before immigrating to the United States in 1817.

Foundation

edit

In 1842, after an elementary dispute on whether the American lodges were to be involved in decision-making procedures, in a split along racial lines, some American Lodges formed with exclusively whites-only membership and a separate governing system from the English Order. In 1843, they changed the name of their organization to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.[8]

19th century

edit

In the following years, lodges were instituted all over the country, first in the east and later in the west. After rejection from the Independent Order of Odd Fellows due to race, an African American sailor, Peter Ogden, petitioned the Grand United Order of Oddfellows for a charter which was granted.[11] Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America are still headquartered in Philadelphia.[8]

On September 20, 1851, IOOF became the first national fraternity to accept both men and women when it formed the Daughters of Rebekah as an auxiliary organization. Schuyler Colfax (Vice President of the United States (1869–1873) under President Ulysses S. Grant) was the force behind the movement.[12][8] Both the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs have appendant branches known as Encampments and Patriarchs Militant.[13][14]

The American Civil War (1861–1865) shattered the IOOF in America; membership decreased and many lodges were unable to continue their work, especially in the southern states.[15] After the Civil War, with the beginning of industrialization, the deteriorating social circumstances brought large numbers of people to the IOOF and the lodges rallied.

Over the next half-century, also known as the “Golden age of fraternalism” in America,[8][16] the Odd Fellows became the largest among all fraternal organizations (at the time, even larger than Freemasonry).[8] By 1889, the IOOF had lodges in every American state.[17][18] Compared to Masonic lodges, membership in the Odd Fellows lodges tended to be more common among the lower middle class and skilled workers and less common among the wealthy white collar workers and professionals.[19]

In 1896, the World Almanac showed the Odd Fellows as the largest among all fraternal organizations.[16]

By the late nineteenth century, the Order had spread to most of the rest of the world, establishing lodges in the Americas, Australasia, and Europe. According to the Journal of the Annual Communication of the Sovereign Grand Lodge 1922, page 426, there were a reported 2,676,582 members.[20] While this data from 1921 may not be the exact zenith of its membership, the organization experienced a loss in membership of 23.5% between 1920 and 1930, explained in large part by the development of the commercial insurance industry,[21] and has continually declined.

20th century

The Great Depression and the introduction of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal brought a decline in membership. During the depression, people could not afford Odd Fellows membership fees, and when the New Deal’s social reforms started to take effect, the need for the social work of the Odd Fellows declined.[15]

In 1971 the IOOF changed its constitution, removing its whites only clause. In 1979 the Order had 243,000 members.[22]

Some branches of the order (i.e., some countries) have allowed women to join the Odd Fellows itself, leading to the Rebekahs’ decline in importance. Also, the appendant branches and their degrees are, in some countries, becoming regarded as less important or too time-consuming, and are gradually being abandoned.[citation needed]

21st century

edit

Although there was a decline in membership in fraternal organizations in general during the 20th century, membership in the 21st century started to increase.[23]

The Odd Fellows scholarship has extended financial assistance to the youth for their education from time to time.[24]

Remember to avoid the ask lemmy posts like:

Whats your favorite pets name, what street did you grow up on, do you like cut or uncut, etc…

This is basically the reason i picked my lemmy nom de plume. A sad small quip to remind myself and maybe others that they have made truth out of lies and lies out of truth.

Advice you can live by?

Obligatory, FUCK YOU Lars Ulrich!

If you have 2 separate drives each with their own boot loader and you tell your bios to boot from the grub bootloader and grub has successfully detected another OS like windows everything will be fine.

The trouble with dual booting comes from splitting a drive into partitions with different OS’s on them sharing the same boot partition. Eventually windows will nuke grub and you will loose the ability to boot linux till you use a live USB to repair through chroot and fixing/installing grub manually or using a grub-repair live USB. Usually only gets complicated if you have luks set up.

I don’t advise dual booting on a single drive. I intentionally buy gaming laptops with dual drive setups and keep the windows drive untouched till the warranty is out. Just in case i have to send it in for repair. Been doing this since 2004 without ever having any bootloader issues that I didn’t cause myself.

They will be greatly missed! I hope they do go and continue making the world a better place through science and education. Their work should continue unhindered and the EU would be all the better for it. Overall it’s the best decision for those that have the opportunity.

Any European countries need a coder? I’d hop the pond and never look back.

You could write a simple python script using datetime and pyperclip. Datetime would supply the date format and pyperclip to copy that to your clipboard. You could setup a key binding to call the script then [Ctrl + v] to paste.

I believe all linix distros have python installed OTB.

There are probably a bash solution but my bash is rubbish.

Edit:

The bash solution that has been provided is the best option IMO. I just thought I should provide the code for my solution so you have options. This python script is easily extendable / customizable. All this depends in you installing the python module pyperclip. datetime should be part if the standard python library so you dont have to install it.

installing pyperclip with pip.

pip install pyperclip

The script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""A simple script to copy a formatted datetime string to the users clipboard"""

import datetime
import pyperclip

def clipboard_timestamp(initials) -> None:
    """Function to create a formatted timestamp string to users clipboard.

    Arguments:
       initials: Uses the provided string during formatting of the timestamp."""

    time = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    pyperclip.copy(f"{initials} {time}")

if __name__ == "__main__":

    clipboard_timestamp('ABC')

The above script also adds the hours minutes and seconds to the timestamp. If not needed remove the %H:%M:%S. Dont forget to edit anything that you want like the 'ABC' near the end.

Save script somewhere. I usually save personal scripts to ~/.local/bin so they are out of the way. I used the name clipboard_timestamp.py Doesn’t really matter as long as you remember the name. Next you have 2 options. You can make the script executable using chmod a+x clipboard_timestamp.py. If you dont want to take this step you will have to tell the shortcut that python is executing the script by prefacing the script’s full path with python like so python ~/.local/bin/clipboard_timestamp.py If you made the script executable you just use ~/.local/bin/clipboard_timestamp.py.

I use KDE but your system should be similar-ish. in your desktop’s setting’s search for keyboard and you should see something that says something like shortcuts. Add New -> Command or Script. Point this to your newly saved python script /.local/bin/clipboard_timestamp.py. Then you choose the keystroke combination.

Wildernesses girls.

You might want to file a bug report so they can grab some info from you that could help an updater get pushed sooner and help others.

Very glad you got up and running. Hopefully they will get a better update pushed out soon.

Hay if the restore works might hold off on doing an update for a few days just too see if kubuntu had pushed a bad update. If they did they did they should fix it pretty quickly when they get a bunch of people with broken systems.

I haven’t used timeshift in at least three years so Im going to give you this instead of relying on my possibly faulty memory.
