Angry white men should not be the only ones in our society with guns. If you can own and carry one safely, you should at least seriously consider it.

The thing that isn't clear to everyone all at once is which people are getting away with heinous things with zero consequences. What is clear is that a certain level of society has no consequences. Eventually one side or the other will get fed up and things will get really bad. Whether they're going after the actual problems is another thing entirely, and the odds are probably better that they'll be going after the wrong people.

Either way, I see the lack of consequences as the ultimate fuse in this powder keg. One of the main functions of government is to systematize and standardize consequences for unacceptable behavior, and we all agree to abide by rules we don't necessarily agree to so that at least it's somewhat consistently applied. In theory. But if government refuses to even give the appearance of doing that, people will take it into their own hands. Human nature has been the way it is way longer than our oldest institutions.

The thing is, it's pretty clear to basically everyone else. We're supposee to have confidence in the people who interpret these things for us, but that's pretty clearly gone too. I'm pretty frightened about where we're headed because at some point people will get fed up that no one is getting real consequences and start handing them out themselves.

I don't think so. It's if you're not in a publicly funded school. It's meant to offset the cost of whatever you are doing to educate your kid if it's not a public school. But knowing desantis, the goal is more likely to refund public schools.

Weirdly, I think it's like 10 or 12k, and you are eligible if you homeschool through flvs, but then you have to pay for flvs. But it's only around 4k a year. Kind of makes sense, because you're supposed to have access as a flvs student to all the extracurriculars and clubs and things at any local public school, but in practice the schools almost uniformly refuse. So you can use the balance to pay for classes and clubs and educational materials.

Meanwhile, he passed a bill to strip schools of funding by giving new vouchers to parents for their kids 'education', including homeschool. The money can be spent on a number of things outside school... one if which is Florida theme park admission!

It's fluff these fays if you're talking about optimizing for speed... unless you're using very specific hardware for a specific purpose. But if you want to compile in support for something you want to be able to do that most people wouldn't need, then yeah it's a real advantage.

This has kept me from switching back to gentoo a few times now.

It's not duplicated work, because it's optimized for your system and usage. If it was actually duplicated it wouldn't be any better than Debian plus waiting 20 minutes every time you use apt.

Doki doki panic is a great game and you should play it. Feels nostalgic, even if you've only ever played super Mario Bros 2.

You can even start with an old laptop and external drives. Plenty of people shuck them anyway, so you're not exactly overpaying. They'll just be a bit slow. But if you're mostly planning on streaming video that doesn't matter too much.

If you do have a little to spend, you can do a 'naskiller' build. Just search for it and pick one. Basically some people put together lists of cheap, reliable used hardware you can get to build a pretty great nas, with different flavors. 'Quiet' 'fast' 'compact'. I built one and went all out. I think it was about 600 bucks without the drives. Build up from there.

Yes, but only other autists.

Not evolving is a feature. I started using linux in the 90s, and you know what? About 90% of the stuff I learned then is still completely relevant.

I hate GUI apps for most things, because you have to search to figure out how to do anything. With CLI apps you read the man page and you know how to use it.

A friend sent it to me, and at first I was hopeful... then I was like 'hmm... strange choice of wording' then I was like 'oh, that was deliberate' as it started to sound more like propaganda and less like a legitimate statement.

If you're worried about price more than EU, i've been pretty happy with purelymail. They're absurdly cheap, and they've been reliable so far.

Porkbun supports ddclient, and also provides a Python script to update records. They don't maintain it anymore, but it still works fine. I have several domains pointing to dynamic IPS and they've worked flawlessly.

I've been very happy with porkbun.

I put my shopping lists into logseq. I have a page called 'shopping' and I have entries for each store, with sub categories for each department. I have todo items for each item I want to buy.

At the top of the page, I have a query for the store that shows items marked 'doing'. So when I want to add 'milk' to my current list, I go down to the 'cold' section, click 'TODO' so it changes to 'DOING', and it shows up on my list. When I put it in my cart, I click the check box and it changes to 'DONE' and it disappears from my list.

It's not exactly polished, but it works well for me, and it fits into a tool I already use.

I've not had it happen, but I imagine it'd be the same as if a sata drive failed. There's no fault tolerance, as you pointed out. My understanding is that each drive has the same directories, and the pool shows all the files from all drives. If a drive goes offline those files should disappear.

I use snapraid to add fault tolerance. Really basically it takes a snapshot of your files and you can recover back to that snapshot if one drive fails. You might think you'd run into a problem if a drive failed, because it might just think you'd deleted a bunch of files, but I believe the default behavior is that it throws an error and notifies you if you have deleted more than a certain threshold of files. That might not be built into snapraid. It might be part of snapraid runner, which I would recommend you use anyway to make it easier to deal with.

So basically, you'd notice your files disappeared, or a cron job would notice, or snapraid would notice, then you'd go plug the drives back in.

I get the concern, but if you're that concerned about reliability then you should probably use some commercial product that won't require much know how or intervention.

I'm loving the flexibility of mergerfs, snapraid, and a diy nas. When I run out of physical space I'll likely just add a few drives in a USB enclosure, so I definitely wouldn't try to persuade you not to.

You don't need to. I like mergerfs a lot, especially paired with snapraid. It all depends what you plan on using the storage for. Does it need to be blazing fast?

I definitely wouldn't mix hardware and software raid though. You can always load your data onto a new mergerfs pool on the new drives, of there's no other way, then add your old drives to the pool. I imagine it's not necessary, but i've only ever started with an empty mergerfs array and added data to it, so I wouldn't know how to tell you to do it.

There are several arm SBCs that are made to function as a nas, and they have slots for several drives. You could start with something like that, especially if you don't plan on transcoding video. You could always add more computing power later and still use it as storage. Or, you could just get an older laptop and start with a few tb USB drive for data. I started with a core duo Dell that was at least 10 years old. Integrated battery backup, decent power consumption, and you won't be spending much money on it. If you run everything in docker with mounted volumes, and I highly recommend that you do, it'll be super easy to migrate to something else once you get a better idea of what you want.

In other words, don't spend a lot of money till you figure out what your needs will be.
