This is the beauty of open source. If you wrote an app called “eeznuts” and mad it something everyone needed, eventually a sysadmin somewhere would get to explain that joke to a stiff EVP, and they’d both have a good chuckle about it.

The typo the people need.

Show the Horndog some respect!

“Jarvis” is an option with Home Assistant’s voice assistant.

Mine was named Kim. She had a twin sister named Tracy. IIRC, she was something like 4 or 5 years older than me! We lived in south Florida. This was probably somewhere in ‘78 or ‘79. I think they moved to Cali not long after.

Everyone is being deliberately divided. It’s not specific to minority groups. I guess my issue is that the post is vague and assumes minority groups act as voting blocs which is pretty simplistic. OP is basically saying what everyone already knows: that there are more people making up “minorities” than there are making up the “majority.” I would argue that your local community has a higher impact on your vote than your ethnicity or race. For sure, those play a part, but they don’t singularly define your vote. Also, various minority groups skew quite differently. Latinos typically skew more conservative than, say Jews or blacks.

I do, and my point wasn’t. Not all minority groups agree on everything just because they’re minorities. The world is a tad more complicated than that. Besides, what are they “coming together” to do? Overthrow the “majority?” Does that automatically assume that the majority is wrong and minorities are right just because they’re minorities? Again, the world’s just not that simple.

Yeah, it’s easy to think people are joking about using Go Fund Me for medical treatments, but it’s real. More than that, you’ll see news stories here about people donating their money so a kid can get some treatment, or their time off so that a parent can take a kid to their treatment, and they’re treated like “feel good” stories about communities banding together rather than the dystopian hellscape that they really are. The US is capitalism run amok, and the populations of other countries really should take notice before their wealthy classes succeed in making the same political decisions that got us here. It’s already happening in the EU.

This cannot be screamed loud or often enough!

This is, increasingly, the answer.

Fortunately, my dad was a bit of a geek and movie buff, so we had a lot of VHS and LaserDisc! Got to see the Star Wars trilogy (original theatrical releases, no less, on LD). There were a bunch of others. Police Academy, Tron, Flash Gordon… too much to list.

This assumes the minority groups can all agree on things in order to “come together.”

So long as Tailscale maintains their free tier, they would fit OPs needs just fine. If they move to get rid of, or otherwise enshitify the free tier, there would likely be time to move to wireguard or something similar.

Yeah, nfs v2 3 or 4 can make a difference. I don’t know that many use v2 anymore. If you’re using the current release in your distribution and didn’t specify a specific version, I would guess you’re using v4.

They’re all just dumb consumer switches. Nothing managed… yet.

I’ve looked into NFS multiple times. I work in HPC implementation and believe me I know about SMB/CIFS performance (or lack thereof!)! I just haven’t had the time to figure out ID mapping. What NFS version do you use, and how do you handle file ownership on the shares? I suppose it’s all read-only, so that would make it a bit easier?

This sounds pretty great, TBH. I think I’m probably tied to Synology for the foreseeable future with my parents’ and my NAS being each others off site backup. I know there are other ways to do it, but the investments are already made on both ends. Plus, they’re retired, so the 1522 with 18TB drives wasn’t a small expense for them!

Aside from looking at the current activity on the server web page, where might I look to see if this is true?

Agreed! The library is populated by my parents and me. I’d have to look again, but i think it’s around 12TB.
