Yeah it's the PETA approach of "let's protect these animals by euthanizing them so they can't later be harmed."

How's your vote working out for you?

If sitting idly by while fascism takes over is such a crime then why aren't you holding to task the actual elected representatives from the DNC who not only allow Trump to do whatever he wants but also vote along with Republicans to ensure their bills are passed?

Your argument is akin to those who claim regular people receiving welfare are responsible for all our government's debt while giving a pass to all the wealthy individuals raiding our government coffers. It's complete nonsense.

I'd argue that it doesn't really matter if some elected members hold leftist views because they're ignored and pushed to the side by the rest of the party at every turn.

Because they'll lose power too. I live in blue Oregon and it was on the ballot in November, but both parties came out against it with nonsense about how popular candidates will lose, your votes will be stolen, etc, etc and it was resoundly defeated. All their rhetoric about helping the working class are blatant lies they tell you to get elected which is why we've been on a steady downward trend as a country for decades regardless of which of these "two" sides hold office.

If you're worried about splitting the vote, then maybe the liberals in the Democratic party should fall in line behind Bernie. I love this presumption that it should always be the progressives who fall in line and vote for the "lesser evil" right wing candidates every single time. Look where that has gotten us.

That doesn't make his statement incorrect. They view him as an outsider because both the Democrats and Republicans are right wing parties and he isn't right wing.

It's okay, honey. I'm sure it's just a phase.

AFAIK no you can't use different sized drives. I have read about the update to allow you to expand existing pools but it hasn't made its way to the version of ZFS that Proxmox uses, but I hope it does soon.

Previously, I was using SnapRAID which does allow you to use any size drive provided your parity drives are equal or larger to the rest of the drives in the pool so you may check that out. It worked well for me on Windows, is available on Linux, and makes it very easy to expand the pool.

I would caution that if you plan to build a big library over time, to just bite the bullet and get matching drives to start with because I tried mismatched drives purchased over several years (whatever was a good deal when I needed to expand the pool) and it got to the point where it was becoming unmanageable once I hit about 8 drives as SATA ports became limited and HDD capacities on the market increased (why waste a port on a 6TB drive when you could have a 14TB-20TB drive instead?). With this new server build, I just bought several matching 14TB drives from serverpartdeals.com and had to transfer everything from the old SnapRAID pool to my ZFS pool which took about a week with rsync.

Well, they didn't say the angle had to be factual.

It really seems to be one way or the other but never in between.

They're literally paying Ashley Babbit's family $5 million after she was shot trying to crawl through the window of a barricaded door into the Speaker's Lobby.

I really hope that officer sues her estate for $5 million for the pain and suffering of having to kill someone committing multiple felonies.

You might look at TechHuts previous tutorial on setting this all up from around a year ago where he instead used Cockpit to manage his ZFS pool shares rather than TrueNAS. I followed that one a few months ago with a minor amount of Linux experience and got everything set up on Proxmox quite easily. I do recall some people complaining about having issues with permissions or some such which is why he created this new tutorial, but I didn't run into those issues for whatever reason.

This new Proxmox build has been rock solid after running everything on flaky laptops, mini PCs, and a Windows-based server build for the past 12+ years and I've also used it to now run things like Jellyseer, Immich, Frigate, and more which is awesome, but I did spend a good chunk of money for a lot of new hardware, redundant SSDs, RAM, etc so you may be better off starting with something more basic to tinker and learn with.

"For like 8 months" is quite a long time when you consider all the damage Trump has done in the 4 months since his inauguration while Senate Republicans only hold 53 seats.

Obama's early policy of negotiating with himself to try and appear bipartisan.

They haven't stopped following that policy which is exactly why they face so much criticism and keep losing elections. Their talk is cheap and they're more than willing to help Republicans destroy the country.

It's weird you missed where my quote says "without consent" and used that as a springboard to derail the conversation away from your original claim. Do you think Trump consents to the memes people make about him? Why were the Democrats so eager to give him the power to remove any online depiction of him that he didn't consent to, and why are you so desperate to whitewash the facts of the situation?

I didn't mention S.2073. I mentioned S.146 or "TAKE IT DOWN Act" which covers:

Specifically, the bill prohibits the online publication of intimate visual depictions of

an adult subject where publication is intended to cause or does cause harm to the subject, and where the depiction was published without the subject’s consent or, in the case of an authentic depiction, was created or obtained under circumstances where the adult had a reasonable expectation of privacy; or

a minor subject where publication is intended to abuse or harass the minor or to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person.

And requires social media companies to remove images within 48 hours (meaning automatic removals with no time to review when talking about the scale of places like Facebook and Instagram).

This means any memes someone creates about Trump will now automatically be removed since he'll claim they intend to cause him harm. He specifically stated that this is how he'll use this law.

This was signed into law by Trump today after passing the House 409-2 last month. The two dissenting votes were from Republicans.

I noticed you seemed to gloss over every single other criticism in my comment as well. Why is that if you think you're better informed on "actual policy" and "history" of the Democratic party?

It's quite the opposite actually. Actual policy and history demonstrate that they absolutely do not follow through with their claims and promises. You seem to be ignorant of both of these while basing your opinion off the empty rhetoric they spout in the media.

Their most landmark legislation in the past 20 years was the ACA, which they passed when they held a supermajority in government and didn't need any Republican support, and yet they decided to drop single-payer in order to pass a Republican healthcare plan that cemented the private insurance model into law while increasing government subsidies to insurance companies meaning even more of our tax dollars are funneled into executive and shareholder pockets while people are still struggling to afford skyrocketing healthcare costs. They didn't need any Republican support (nor did they receive it) yet they still chose to screw the American people with this bill. How do you explain that?

They also just unanimously voted to pass an internet censorship bill along with all but two Republicans. Trump has stated that he will use this bill to silence his critics and every single Dem Representative voted in favor of it.

They also passed the Republican government spending bill which retroactively legalized all the illegal DOGE cuts they'd been making.

Maybe you should stop listening to the empty promises and virtue signaling and start looking at their actual actions. Modern Dems are to the right of Reagan even if they claim otherwise.

We gradually lost the chip business, and now it's almost exclusively in Taiwan. They stole it from us." This is one of the US president's regular refrains.

This coming from the guy who canceled the CHIPS Act that saw investments going toward US chip manufacturing needed by companies like US based Intel Corp? What a maroon.

Also this author seems to think that this AZ fab is "the most important in the world" yet TSMC has already stated that they will not bring their bleeding edge processes to the US or any other fab outside of Taiwan. This fab will be producing older nodes not the latest and greatest. I don't think it will go as badly as the Foxconn plant in Wisconsin, but it's not going to be a state of the art R&D facility or anything.

And yet none of that has ever happened regardless of how well the Dems do at the ballot box.

Most low wage jobs in the US have a mandatory drug test when you're hired, which is easy enough to defeat. The only things that don't leave your system after a couple days are all the mild things like weed.

I've had several retail and service jobs where I had to drug test before getting hired and just took a "cleaner" from a headshop before doing them and passed each time despite using the devils lettuce in my off time, but none of these were places that do random testing after being hired. Being able to be choosy with jobs is somewhat of a luxury in the US, so consider yourself fortunate.

A delivery job is a tossup because it may be more heavily regulated than jobs that don't involve heavy machinery. If it's a delivery job that requires a CDL, I would skip it because you can be pulled over and tested at any time. Even marijuana can be penalized here since these jobs are covered by federal regulations and national insurance companies which have requirements for a drug free workplace.

It's been happening in the US for a long time too.
