I sort of expected this, but it’s a shame my vote is essentially dirt since I live in a district that never flips.

Don’t worry, I put a lot more effort into finding alternatives and still landed here.

If they just wanted to follow the law, they could have left it at “don’t sell anything illegal” without all the extra “brand damage” nonsense.

And motorbikes…

Trees, removing excess lane space, avoiding long straight stretches (ideally with street layout, but also chicanes), etcetera. If a road feels like a residential road, people treat it like one. And vice versa, if a road feels like a highway…

120 is definitely smoother, but I’ve found you can’t really feel it until your minimums are at your target. So if your minimum frametime is 30-60fps on a 120fps monitor, it’ll feel pretty crap compared to a solid 60 (or 75).

I thought this was an Onion headline at first.

No no, ffmpeg is completely different! It refers to two women pegging a man.

I have been using TrueNAS Scale for a while but have not used base Linux for my NAS. My opinion is if you’re looking for a quick initial setup or are like me and didn’t want to install ZFS yourself, TrueNAS is rather appealing, but otherwise it doesn’t offer much. It has ZFS pre-installed, gives you a webUI to monitor basic things about your machine, and has fairly easy ways to setup data protection with snapshots and backups with rsync or zfs replication. In the more recent versions it even has Docker apps built-in so you can host some basic things. The downside of TrueNAS is that despite being Linux under the hood, it’s a lot more locked down so doing advanced measures is more of a pain and much of their “simpler” UI-based stuff is exceedingly basic, half-featured, and lacks documentation.

The way I use TrueNAS right now is to treat the main OS as mainly untouchable. I don’t try to break out of the limits placed upon it. I instead use a “Jailmaker” machine (defunct wrapper script for systemd-nspawn) for all my Docker needs. This way the main system remains more stable. If I have to re-install, then it’s a simple config import and my NAS is back to how it was.

I would use the built-in VM tools or the built-in Docker tools for this, but A. they weren’t implemented or weren’t working when I set this up, and B. I found their setup rather… annoying. For instance, I tried to set up some apps with their previous app system and it required configuration before working and yet nowhere did anyone explain how to configure it so I was wokring blind. No one makes guides for setting up an app in the TrueNAS UI, so the extra layer of obfuscation was just a hinderance to me. Compare that to setting it up directly in Docker, there are a million guides and great documentation for everything I get stuck on. Thus, despite being the “harder” way to set it up, it was easier due to the existence of information about it.

So, looking at it objectively, what parts of TrueNAS do I even use compared to base Linux? Not much. I use the WebUI to accomplish basic tasks such as creating or modifying datasets and permissions, snapshots, SMB shares, etcetera. All the basic things are there and I use the UI for them. But ever since that initial setup I spend most of my time in the CLI adjusting my scripts and Docker config files, creating directories inside the datasets, fine-tuning permissions… I could definitely have gone for a base Linux install as long as I knew what to install for ZFS support, some manner of WebUI, and so on. TrueNAS just did all that initial setup for me, and having a more locked-down OS forced me to use safer methods of installing programs via containers and keeping my install a lot more portable which I plan to continue no matter what OS I use.

This was probably not helpful, but that’s been my experience of TrueNAS for what it’s worth. Whatever you do, just remember: RAID is not a backup. It is protection against drive faults, but an error in the RAID system itself or the RAID pool’s data requires a separate copy of the data stored elsewhere to restore.

She’s actually fairly progressive (socially, at least), but on some topics like health she gets kinda nutty… still have not quite beaten the anti-vax out of her although I am happy to say she’s not as bad as she used to be. And she did get vaxxed during Covid after our entire family all got it and pushed her on it.

Urban. My siblings were hospital births, but my mom always has been a proponent of more ‘natural’ solutions so I think she wanted to try the less clinical way. She had a midwife there for the birth.

About 15 metres. I was a home birth and am currently staying with my parents.

they were selling wd red (pro?) drives with smr tech

Didn’t they used to have only one “Red” designation? Or maybe I’m hallucinating. I thought “Red Pro” was introduced after that curfuffel to distinguish the SMR from the CMR.

Driving with flat sunglasses sucks due to the sun getting around all the gaps.

Ah, but you forget that in the mind of a Trump supporter ALL immigrants are criminals, and criminals must be punished!

A folding display feels so… anti-Apple. The crease in the middle of the screen and reduced durability go against their general perfection and the user choice of a different form factor is not something they usually do. Plus, half the reason I would buy a Samsung Fold is so that I can run two apps at once side by side and more space for floating apps, but Apple has never had such power-user features. I will be very surprised if they actually release one.

This letter has to be one of the greatest rage-bait posts ever. Trump really know how to do it.

the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States

Barely and only after he swung the first blow and started shit over nothing, yeah.

the United States imposed Tariffs on Canada to deal with our National Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Canada’s failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country.

“In part” meaning less than a single percent. “Failure to stop” meaning a massive increase in border presence and fentanyl seizures.

Instead of working with the United States

See above, we implemented border security measures to appease the charade of Fentanyl being an issue.

there will be no Tariff if Canada, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States

Perfect! Let’s just make ourselves the States’ little bitch, completely reliant on them for everything and with no details on how much production we even have to move over so that he can just say we didn’t fulfill our part of the bargain whenever he wants. Why wouldn’t we do that? Jesus H Christ.

Canada charges extraordinary Tariffs to our Dairy Farmers — up to 400%

Two things, 1. tariffs to protect your local agriculture makes sense to not become reliant on other countries for food. 2. that “up to” is doing HEAVY lifting as those high rates are almost never in effect¹, so why do you even care. Oh right, you don’t care! This is all a sham.

If I go 6 hours after a shower without deodorant, my armpits usually have started smelling. It ain’t just big soap, it’s genetics or something.

About two years ago, yeah. I can just visit Reddit for the one or two subreddits left that I want to see. Viewing them with worse formatting and missing comments is pointless for me.
