Would it really be that different from a “living” turtle-face?

No, but he might piss a bucket of PBR…

Starlabs makes a better one …and it doesn’t suffer from having an investor named Linus Sebastian …

The guy couldn’t tell the truth with a gun to his head…

School hours are engineered to make sure parents can drop their kids off at the state-funded daycare (which is what most parents consider school) and get to work on time…

And the reason the high-school kids get out first is so they can take care of younger siblings after school, which is a shitty way for teenagers to spend afternoons. (I was lucky, youngest of six.)

As I always say, “A broken clock is right twice a day.”

While believable, the world needs to see a corpse.

If it’s 25% cheaper, it’s probably 40% water.

I see what you mean…but I’m more interested in the majority than the person right now… The only way we’re ever going to undo the damage is with the majority… I’m hoping that platner stepping down doesn’t kill that plan… And while I’m glad he’s stepped down, I think that a small win for decency might just cost us the ballgame…

There is no good way to fix this…there are only bad ways…but right now, I just want it fixed.

Yeah, a good enclosure will have accoustically isolated drives (rubber bumpers at the drive mount points)

I run rack-mount servers, so drive noise is the least of my issues (fans are always the loudest part of any server) but I used to run in a Nanoxia DeepSilence 6 tower, and it was amazing. 1mm thick superstructure, insulation, accustically isolated drive mounts, etc. Couldn’t hear that even when the fans were running at full steam.

Right now, voting against MAGA is priority #1… once they’re fucking exterminated, we can concentrate our efforts on building a better party.

So rule still applies. Vote furthest left in EVERY election, but vote in EVERY election.

Oh absolutely. Like the “cologard” test… an early screening to identify a problem before it becomes a problem.

Just make sure if it has two connectors you have two ports on the PSU for it, DON’T use the daisy-chain cable (the one with multiple end ports on it) for both ports… The PSU has those separated to different power rails to help against power draw on any one connection.

I would still want a human being to verify the diagnosis before anything gets cut. ;-)

I posted a chart of the restrictions by swing state… helpful information…most of them seem to say “as long as it doesn’t infringe on privacy or can be constituted as voter intimidation it’s ok”

RAID is for continuous of operations, backup is for restoration after a failure.

I have both, but run Raid-6 on my array due to the size of the drives. As has been observed here, if one drive fails and then another drive fails during the rebuild, you’ve lost everything.

Then to add to that I’ve got backups of everything I can’t replace. Plex library will come back automatically (though it will take a while). But my documents, digital filing cabinet, pictures, videos of my kids, those are all protected by raid, backup, AND off-site replication.

No, if I had stayed home or pissed my vote away on a useless third party THEN I’d be one of the ones who got him elected. I voted.

I read that he’s taking the new jet from the UK home… I say put it down where the titanic went down. Perfect.

If you don’t have backups, consider multiple drives in a RAID configuration.

instead of the 12T, consider 3 8T drives in a Raid-5 array. That way if one fails, you’ve not lost everything, and have time to repalce it and rebuild it - with ZFS (most NAS systems use ZFS) the rebuild is simple and online.

Don’t give a shit. Even if Platner had stayed on the ballot, (and I lived in Maine) I would have voted for him. He has the one quality I’m most looking for. Not republican.
