As someone who works at a venue with an exclusive arrangement with them, unfortunately being free of them means not going to any shows. They have an absolute stranglehold on the industry, at least in North America, and it would bring me significant joy to see them destroyed. They are no better to work with internally than they are externally.
but stop at equality for everyone, not suppression of those you may disagree with
Equality for everyone requires the suppression of those who would take away that equality, otherwise you eventually lose equality for everyone. This is similar to how maximizing freedom for everyone requires restricting your individual freedom to harm others, because in doing so you remove their freedoms. Your individual freedom is less, but the total amount of freedom in the system is greater for it.
Furthermore, it is not a moral failing, or even a difficult moral quandary, to suppress people for their actions and choices. We do it all the time to murderers and other criminals, or even people who don't shower. This can be done in multiple ways, including ways that do not involve state power. We frequently use social means to suppress people, for good or bad. A society simply works that way. And if they don't like it, they can simply choose to stop trying to take away equality; I cannot similarly choose to stop being the kind of person they want to take equality away from.
To protect equality we must win every fight; to lose it, they need only win once. Everybody is protected by equality so long as they believe in it. I do not believe that those who do not believe in equality should be extended its benefits, for they will seek to destroy it from within like a parasite.
Have you set it up per https://asus-linux.org? These guys do amazing work to make ASUS laptops feel like first class citizens on Linux in both kernel patches and software. Strongly recommend, only takes a few minutes on Fedora if you're already installed and up to date. You should be able to get working Optimus and less GPU issues.
Can't help ya with Destiny though, they're just jerks.
They didn't say we can stop it at our individual points of consumption. They explicitly mentioned policy. People need to be willing to support policy that will drastically change their own lives, likely in ways they don't even realize, and be ready to live with that. Otherwise pretty soon we won't be living with much at all.
You can absolutely attach each VM and even the host to separate NICs which each connect back to the switch and has its own VLAN. You can also attach everything to one NIC and just use a virtual bridge(s) on the host to connect everything. Or any combination therein. You have complete freedom on how you want to do it to suit your needs. How this is done depends on what you're using on the host for a hypervisor though, so I can't give you exact directions.
One thing I should have thought of before; if two NICs are on one single PCI card, you probably can't pass them through to the VM independent of one another. So that would limit you to doing virtual networking if you want to split them.
Having tried both, I found it far easier and less troublesome to just add a PCI passthrough than it is to worry about managing the network both on the host and in the VM. As long as FreeBSD supports the driver, I strongly recommend passthrough vs virtualized NICs.
Yeah, this is perfectly doable. I ran a very similar setup for a while. I'd recommend passing one of the NICs directly through to the VM and using one for the host to keep it simple, but you can also virtualize the networking if you need something more complex. If you do pass through a single NIC, you'll need a switch capable of handling VLANs and a bit of knowledge on how to set up what's called a "router on a stick" with everything trunked over one connection and only separated by VLANs.
Keep in mind, while this is a great way to save resources, it also means these systems are sharing resources. If you need to reboot, you're taking everything down. If you have other users, that might be annoying for everyone involved.
I literally didn't put it together that it was FS-Tab until a couple years ago when I was setting up an encrypted drive manually in /etc/crypttab, something I had done many times before, when it finally clicked.
Heroes of Newerth was the most toxic community I've ever been apart of. Nothing comes even close. It was rotten from top to bottom and made me quit a game I otherwise loved to play. I'm talking "The CEO frequently calls people slurs in all chat" level of bad.
I've used both, each for a long stretch of time; they are fundamentally extremely similar and you'll be fine with either. I switched to AdGuard Home entirely because I could run it directly from my OPNSense router instead of a second machine. There isn't really anything else major I've noticed different between them, but my usage is fairly basic. AdGuard's interface felt a bit more mature and clean, but that's it.
If you're happy with your PiHole, there's no reason I'm aware of to switch.
You consume and discard many things throughout your life. The fact that you consume so much should make you uncomfortable. I agree with using customer instead of consumer, but only because I want to get away from the idea that your only purpose in life is to consume things. I hate that being a "consumer" is normalized. Consumptive culture is both terrible for the environment and for the health of society.
Samsung has this as well as triple tap under RegiStar via Good Lock, but it randomly just stops working. It was great at first, but now I don't even try to use it because so often it just doesn't work.
Sorry, to be clear, they're not Bluetooth. I've got a set of Meze 99 Neos. I've got my desktop, laptop, phone, and Steam Deck that I use them on regularly. I've had Bluetooth headphones in the past and I've never had one that can pair to 4 things, not to mention trying to get it to connect to the right one when more than one has power is annoying.
These ones are also sturdy, easy to repair, and use a standard 2.5mm to 3.5mm connection. There's no battery to wear out and no electronics of any kind to fail. So long as I don't physically break them, I expect them to keep working for many years to come. There's no wireless headphones I'm aware of and certainly no wireless earbuds that I can say that about. I have no interest in buying devices designed to be consumed and discarded past a certain date.
The idea that there's only two options, doing nothing or complete pre-emptive defederation, is not accurate. If we can't even acknowledge that, I don't think this conversation will be productive.
I use my headphones on multiple devices. Pairing them every time I want to switch is a pain in the ass. Also, my current headphones are still good and will hopefully last for a very long time, as I specifically went after headphones that are study, easy to maintain, and repair. So I have no need for Bluetooth headphones, and I have no desire for Bluetooth headphones. I just want a jack to plug in.
