The organization's website says it was founded by Israelis. They carry Israeli flags. It is a pro-israel protest.

The reality of the situation is that those hostages do not fucking matter when Israel's response is to carpet bomb the most densely populated region of the world, starve them, and trap them from ever leaving.

It is incredibly tone deaf to protest for the Israeli hostages. I can guarantee you they do not care about Palestinian lives if this is what their focus is on and they don't mention Palestine.

This group doesn't see Palestinian lives as worth as much as Israeli ones, clearly.

I'm sorry but 21 hostages don't hold a candle to over 50k dead, including women and children and 1.8 million classified as "extremely critical" levels of hunger. There's a famine in Gaza right now, they've been scorch earth bombed to hell resulting in widespread homelessness. Israel just gunned down and murdered 30 innocent people today and injured hundreds more who were there for food from an aid truck simply for crossing a line slightly before 6 AM.

Fuck out of here. Sudan and Haiti are not part of this conversation for a reason and it's because Haiti is in the Caribbean for fucks sake so that's a stretch to "you don't care about hostages". It's a genocide orchestrated by the Israeli government. The hostages are a flimsy excuse at best.

I could not get fable 2 to launch at all on xenia on Arch. I didn'tolk further into it yet though, honestly I'm not sure if I can get any game to launch

Two gay men can't make a da baby, and the gays can be very into their looks and physical attraction.

Speaking from experience as a gay man

Saw some very loud bands and DJs in venues way too small a few years ago right after covid. I've had tinnitus ever since. It sucks, but I only really hear it late at night when I'm going to bed and there's no noise. Factory life means I'm working around loud noises all day, but this current shop I'm working at is miles better than the one I worked at for 7 years.

What's odd is I never got it pre-covid and I definitely used to push my luck even more back then. Maybe getting covid a few times changed something, my friend's brother just permanently has tinnitus from getting covid.

There was one night in particular though that I still remember, my ears were ringing the day after. Usually they'd tone down by the 12 hour mark. The second day, I was like oh shit this is probably permanent. It was, that was in 2021. I definitely sulked in my feelings a bit after that, and now I wear ear protection to every concert. It's just not worth it to damage my ears further.

This may not be the answer you're looking for but Plex finally added the feature to set subtitles to be on if the audio is not in English. Previously you had to turn subtitles on for every episode individually, couldn't even do it per show.

Are you sure you set your qbittorrent up correctly? You need to bind your network interface so it only works when connected to your VPN. It's possible it started using your regular network if your VPN went down or maybe even if it was a higher speed, I'm not sure.

I know for mine, I noticed a couple times that all my torrents stopped seeding. I pay for mullvad annually so sometimes I forget when I need to resubscribe. But it's a good piece of mind that if my VPN isn't active, qbittorrent won't seed or leech a single thing.

Try disabling your VPN on that device and see if you can still download Linux ISOs.

Great, so throw every homeless or vulnerable person, abuse victims, children, etc who do not have access to a bank account or phone into a completely worse state. Food? Busses? For any of these people they are just now off the table. Eliminate whole sects of the restaurant, service, and gig economy industry overnight and millions will lose their jobs. The amount of people who work under the table at restaurants is outstanding.

I really hope you're not advocating for a cashless society.

I've never once heard anyone call it tomato sauce in my neck of the woods in america. It's always been ketchup.

I live in Pittsburgh however, Heinz is headquartered here and the factory is still operational downtown. Hell, the Steelers football field was called Heinz Field and had giant ketchup bottles by the scoreboards up until a couple years ago.

Must be a regional thing.

Do people actually put all these meaningless buzz words? I wouldn't put any of this crap because they are all just the base standard of having a professional career except adding way too much fluff.

When I touched up my resume in 2023 (last time I looked for a job) I honestly was struggling to compact as much technical skills and experience as I could and even had to leave some stuff out. The only point that was this type of stuff I put on there was like "maintained own schedule and communication via email" even though my current job requires a lot of emails and "office level" work now.

This might be anecdotal and specific to my field to be honest. I'm an industrial electrician with 10 years experience. But to be fair, I applied to 12 places in 2023 (I was picky about applying), got 3 interviews, one was no offer, the other pay was too low, third I accepted

A few suggestions:

Going from a 4 bay to a 6 bay is not that big of a jump. Especially if you are already at 95% full, you're gonna fill up those other two drives quick. I used to have a 4 bay little off-brand NAS I found on eBay. I sold it and upgraded to a 14 bay rosewill 4U rack-mounted chassis. For parts I just repurposed some old PC parts and bought a few open box ones. The chassis is like $139 but I suggest getting better rails as the rosewill ones can be kinda crappy. You'd be amazed how quickly storage can fill up and accumulate, so plan for the future.

I also glanced at the NAS you listed, and it's $1000. You can build something way more customizable with way more storage capabilities for like 1/3 of the cost of that. Was there a reason you wanted to go with this one? Generally it seems to be selling the software that comes with it, and "AI" which... I'm not sure what the idea of that is with it being a data storage device.

Which brings me to my next point, I would highly suggest unRAID for an operating system. Reason being is you said that the idea of constantly adding to your pool and being flexible with sizes and different types of drives appeals to you. This is unRAID's bread and butter. Throw one large drive in there as your parity, and whatever other random drives you want (different sizes, brands, whatever) are your pool and they are all protected in case of a failure.

It may be controversial in a FOSS sense, but unRAID does have a one-time license fee. I paid like $80 four years ago. Worth it for how easy and configurable the software is, but it's still Linux at its core so if you want to get your hands dirty all it takes is one click and you're in the shell or spinning up VM's and of course docker for your "core" software. Just don't overspend on a crazy M.2 SSD for your cache disk or a high capacity one. I promise you don't need the best one to load Plex thumbnails .001 seconds faster. Whether this is better than the prepackaged Zima OS is up to you.

Yeah. I work for a company that builds the electrical systems for cooling Amazon's AWS servers in data centers and we are trying to keep up with orders as best we can. They just want more more more, so much that we're storing them in another warehouse because we don't have the room here.

They're projecting orders all the way into 2035 currently.

Ahh my context is all related to industrial electrical systems. It gets really fun when UL and NFPA 79 start to conflict with each other.

Pretty wild seeing an ad for UL out in the wild in these comments, you an electrician?

I got my MTR in UL 508A a couple years ago

You may want to check out the fish shell. The auto-complete is the only way I want to use the terminal nowadays.

I played the HD version on a PS3 emulator and honestly didn't notice that much of a difference from the PS2 game with upscaled resolution.

I think the point of this post, which I agree with, is that the PS2 version that is available via emulators or on the PS store currently is good enough as it is and the series doesn't need revived at all.

Sort of in the same vein is that I tried playing MGS1 twin snakes which is the gamecube remake of the PS1 game. Maybe it's nostalgia of the original being my favorite game of all time, but it just didn't hit the same for me as the original. It's just about the closest thing to what a modern "remake" would look like, except I guess with the graphics of how the new remastered snake eater game looks instead of the GC graphics.

It sucks that people might skip timeless classics like these because they're not remastered with updated graphics.

Working with your hands and tools. It's amazing how far it can take you and how much money you can make and/or save by DIY'ing things around your home with some basic skills. Like there are people that will pay $100 for something easy like mounting a TV when it's a few minutes of finding studs and screwing down the bracket.

Then as things progress and you get more comfortable, you can start helping friends and doing side work. I've been doing industrial electrical for 10 years now, I'm gonna be re-wiring a whole house from the ground up in July
