It’s your last line. We have to find a way to take the world back from billionaires, by force if necessary. It’s unreal that a small handful of assholes have the power over the billions of us that they do.

Us Govt: no

Kinda hard to buy stuff when all of our money is going to rent and groceries.

I mean, I had a mainline kernel update bork my system last month

Honestly I think it’s more of just becoming responsible as you age and your body’s requirements get more specific. When I was young, I could eat anything and anything. Now, dairy is fully off the table, breads and carbs in general need to be of a minimum quality, and volume of consumption absolutely cannot be what it used to be. I think the key of it is to just be cognizant of what works and what doesn’t, and have the self control to direct yourself to the right choices (especially when options are limited). It certainly comes with experience that aging provides. I’m sure there are some people that are so well tapped into their bodies that it’s automatic like muscle memory, but for the rest of us it’s definitely learned and steered.

What hardware are you running your truenas setup on? I have an old computer that I’ve had freenas on that finally died.

These fuckers really want a recession to happen, like we haven’t been economically depressed for the last 3 years

You can install LTSC that’ll extend to 2032 iirc

Question if you don’t mind: is it theoretically possible to use syncthing on the root directory of a given arch install, somehow blacklist hardware specific components, and basically have a running clone between both systems? I’ve never heard of syncthing before this but it sounds intriguing

Basic, yes. But windows still assumes it knows better than you and does whatever it wants anyway. But you can set up separate partitions for C:\ and D:, etc

My wife is 9.5 years older than me. We met 10 years ago when I was 24 and she was 34, moved in together 6 years ago when I was 28, and got married a little over 2 years ago. I’ve never dated anyone my age or younger, I’ve always tended to date (at least for longer than a night to a few weeks) women that were at least a few years older. I have never felt any sort of stigma against it, quite the opposite actually. 2 of my best friends ended up with women 10 years younger than them, and for that matter very few people I know are with someone within a year of them, typically there’s a discrepancy of about 5-6 years, and these are all people ranging from late 20s to 50s. Heck, one of my really good buddies is 55 and has been with his 72yo wife for over 20 years. I’m guessing this is a younger generation thing, cause it seems odd to me to that age really matters once you’re past your early 20s.

They could also just be projecting their personal shit, and there’s no controlling that. Or they just don’t want to be in the course. Or they have deluded expectations.

People can be super finicky like that. I remember when in high school, I certainly didn’t want to be there, and I know I found a way to make it my teachers’ fault, who were probably pretty good people considering they put up with us.

I mean, this is where a biometric identity authentication system would be beneficial, but like fucking hell if I trust any current entity, government or private, to run it securely for anyone’s benefit and not sell the data to 3rd parties or keep it secure.

I got a X1 carbon gen 10 last year, and despite all the Lenovo hate, it’s been a great laptop running EndeavourOS. I opted for the 512gb as the price for the 2tb drive was ridiculous, so I bought a WD Black 2tb and swapped it myself. The bottom plate takes a few min to figure out, but it isn’t terrible.

Very caring indeed

Refrigerators, dish washers, washer/dryers, any appliance really. But I want the test period to be 90 days, it’s a good length to properly use and determine if something is decent or a steaming pile of shit.

I moved into a CA mountain community almost a decade ago. We’re on fire watch constantly.

I’ve definitely notice weirdness with odt files, but truth be told I damn never run into those, everything is xlsx, docx, etc as I’m interfacing with companies that are firmly MS, but they’re also none the wiser usually. Every now and again there’ll be a formatting issue, especially with Excel, but it isn’t too common thankfully.

For what is worth, I’ve had better luck on MSOffice integration with onlyoffice, but ymmv

Only one way to find out
