Linux Update Problem
When I ‘dnf -y update’ it downloads all the packages, but at the end crashes with this error message:
Importing OpenPGP key 0x7FAC5991:

Any idea how to tell it to ignore this and just do the other updates? I don’t see any obvious options on “dnf update.”
Thanks for the advice in comments. Unfortunately, I can’t deal with it until I get back from a trip on Friday.
[Friday update]
The problem seems to have resolved itself while I was gone. I updated last night with no issues.
The Myth Of DST
I have a crazy idea that the sun should be overhead at noon. Tomorrow’s time change is a double whammy for me because I have to catch a flight to DC in the morning.
Jay Bhattacharya
How he went from being smeared during the pandemic to heading the agency that smeared him.
I met him at a Hillsdale event when he was under attack, in the fall of 2020, and later at a Reason Weekend at which he was presented with an award.

Better luck tomorrow, or if they can’t turn it around that fast, Wednesday. Weather looks better, anyway.
The Depth Of The Corruption
MIND-BLOWING: Just 7,000 politically connected NGOs are hoarding 90% of all taxpayer money meant for nonprofits.
— The Vigilant Fox 🦊 (@VigilantFox) March 3, 2025
Roughly $300 billion in government money flows to nonprofits every year—with zero transparency on where that money actually goes.
