It’s not like they have a vested interest in the continuity of these western institutions. When you apply a maximum pressure sanctions campaign against Iran, guess what!? Their economy is not tied up in your economy. They could give a fuck. Especially after you bombed them first (twice!). Especially after you unilaterally withdraw from a treaty with them.
The same White House that tells you a new casus belli for the war special operation each time you ask them? With a projected timeline that shifts day after day? Led by a pedophile rapist who has instructed his DOJ to cover up any of his involvement with Epstein? Who we already know from the fact that he was president for FOUR YEARS that he is a serial liar?
There is not a single thing that this White House can say that will make me think they are telling the truth.
I’ve been self-hosting for years, but with a recent move comes a recent opportunity to do my network a bit differently. I’m now running a capable OpenWRT router, and support for AdGuard Home is practically built into OpenWRT. I just needed to configure it right and set it up, but the documentation was comprehensive enough.
For years I had kept a Debian VM for Pi-Hole running. I kept it ultra lean with a cloud kernel and 3 gb of disk space and 160MB of RAM, just so it could control its own network stack. And I’d set devices to manually use its IP address to be covered. AGH seems to be about the same exact thing as Pi-Hole. With my new setup the entire network is covered automatically without having to configure any device. And yes, I know I could’ve done the same before by forwarding the DNS lookups to the Pi-Hole, but I was always afraid it would cause a problem for me and I’d need an easy way to back out of the adblocking. Subjectively, over about 6 years, I only had a couple worthless websites that blocked me out.
I haven’t yet gotten to the point where I’m trying to also to intercept hardcoded DNS lookups, but soon… It’s not urgent for me because I don’t have sinister devices that do that.
So they’re from the “America is the land of milk and honey, where there is endless opportunity, and dreams can come true” generation of migrants.
My own family is the same, but the illusion has been shattered for them over the last several years.
Not to my knowledge or intention.
It’s not quite the “fell for it again” award. It’s the “duped because I’m ignorant about history” award. Even if you are against Khamenei and the cleric class of leaders, the Americans are not, and never will be, your friends.
Someone with a backbone and conscience. If more European leaders understood this they could form some sort of cohesive, idk, Union. And use that “bloc” as a power base to negotiate from. So that they don’t all have to bend over and submit to the will of the United States every time we tell them to jump and bark.
Iran has a right to defend itself.
Three of them! Incredible!
The scary part is how they succeed in their objectives. I’m still not over Maduro’s kidnapping and how they pulled it off. It’s freakish.
If it’s in line with international law they should be defending Iranians against the illegal aggression of the USA. Though obviously that’s not kid starver’s meaning
Is there no check or balance for this criminal pedophile? This government is a sad joke.
Gavin Gruesome at it again
It even has RSS! Hell yeah let’s go
Wow how have I not seen these weekly roundups before? Cool little news digest
Sorry but I find this claim irreconcilable with how SLES and Fedora default to btrfs with their installations, or how a company like Meta uses it across their entire fleet.
I don’t know if Meta uses the raid feature directly or if they use, as you suggested, mdraid with btrfs on top. I know that that’s what Synology does.
I’m not sure what you are suggesting as the alternative. Nor do I know what silent btrfs corruption bug you are referring to, either. Btrfs has been widely deployed in enterprise and personal environments for years, and I cannot find evidence of data loss due to the file system itself.
Absolutely correct. I used to maintain vigorous whole disk backups, and made sure my MacBook also had regular Time Machine backups and that kind of thing.
Then I realized there are actually tiers of important data. The most important stuff would be on the order of megabytes (tax documents, my lease, historical records of that stuff, and config files that I’ve built up over time).
Then I have my vacation photos and videos. Family photos. A few gigabytes. That’s not that much in the grand scheme and it’s still easy to back these up to a cloud service for minimal to no cost.
The rest of the data on my computer is easily recoverable or can be reconstructed with minimal effort. The OS install. The games. Media from online. I would not bother backing up this stuff.
Once this stuff is in perspective it’s very easy to devise a backup solution that fits your needs at an appropriate price. Not everyone has usage like mine and maybe their important data is much larger than mine is, but the point is we should think about which of the data is actually important, and not blindly duplicate pointless data.
My media server, which is just my server generally, is an old thinkpad I have from 2014. For media I use Jellyfin and I ensure the content is already in a format that will not require transcoding on any device I care to serve to (typically mp4 1080p hevc + aac).
If you look at the used computer market, there are endless options to attain what you are asking for. My only real advice is make sure the computer doesn’t draw much power and, if possible, doesn’t emit much or any fan noise. A laptop is a decent choice because the battery kind of serves as an uninterruptible power supply. I just cap my charge limit at 80% since I never unplug it.
