It's not just silently installed by Steam, or something, they have to explicitly confirm they accept it? I don't play this game, I am curious if players are unaware or actively stupid.

What sort of discount on retail did you get?

You have zero conception of how ranked choice voting works.

That's what it has been like for years now.

Somehow I assume you don't associate capitalism with chattel slavery and apartheid. But you do associate corrupt authoritarianism with economics when it is system that you don't like.

Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don't think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn't work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn't understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

We are having a pretty good time in the comments. Maybe you could go hang out with the other people who like dull games instead of being upset here.

I didn't play it. I like the memes tho.

Isn't that more of a leveling RPG? If I got progressively stronger in BotW instead of just picking up slightly larger weapons I might like it more.

Another problem are that there are like, what, 7 kinds of enemies? Every encampment a small flock of keese, some bokoblins, some lizalfos, a moblin or two. Every situation I just use the same swords and arrows. Surely Skyrim has more varied enemies? If Nintendo are trying to make an expansive game they should put content in it.

When people were protesting unarmed black people getting murdered in 2020; Donald publicly told police to rough them up during arrests, sent out DHS in unmarked vans to snatch people off the streets, tear gassed a group of protesters so he could hold his little Bible upside down. There's probably a bunch I am forgetting, it was a long fucking year.

That was the same year his dimwitted response to the pandemic caused tens or hundreds of thousands more deaths than otherwise.

He committed an insurrection. You want Repubs in power forever telling cops to beat the shit out of not only protestors, but voters? Go ahead with it.

 

I really want to run ceph because it fits a number of criteria I have: gradually adding storage, mismatched disks, fault tolerance, erasure encoding, encryption, support out-of-the-box from other software (like Incus).

But then I look at the hardware suggestions, and they seem like an up-front investment and ongoing cost to keep at least three machines evenly matched on RAM and physical storage. I also want more of a single-box NAS.

Would it be idiotic to put a ceph setup all on one machine? I could run three mons on it with separate physical device backing each so I don't lose everything from a disk failure with those. I'm not too concerned about speed or network partitioning, this would be lukewarm storage for me.

 

I have seen several cards that will do up to 4 NVMe from a single x16 slot (with MB and CPU that support bifurcation), but I have only found cards that are 1 PCIe slot to 1 M.2 A+E.

I think one way to do this would be to have a regular bifurcation x16 to 4 x4s and then use the 1x cards. But are there other options?

The reason I am asking is because I am procrastinating on other things I am supposed to be doing. I have no actual need for this and putting 4 wifi cards so close probably creates horrible interference anyway.

 

What storage software could I run to have an archive of my personal files (a couple TB of photos) that doesn't require I keep a full local copy of all the data? I like the idea of a simple and focused tool like Syncthing, but they seem to be angling towards replication.

Is the simple choice to run some S3-like backend and use CLI or other client to append and browse files? I'd love something with fault tolerance that someone can gradually add disks to. If ceph were either less complicated or used less resources I'd want to do that.

 

I'm planning to set up LUKS on an SSD. Many guides are suggesting using a simple key to set things up and then revoke it when everything is in place.

Given the wear leveling behavior on SSDs I am assuming a simple key might be able to unlock even beyond the revocation if a determined attacker has the disk. I don't want someone to be able to put the disk in factory access mode and be able to brute force attempt their way to browser cookies and email accounts.

I'm going to ignore the suggestion about using a weak key to set up, but am I being overly paranoid? Am I being not paranoid enough and I should also not rely on revocation for a spinning rust disk?
