On our wedding night, my wife and I grabbed Taco Bell. If your date expects you to go broke to impress her, cut it off right there. She’s never going to change, and definitely never going to be worth it. Find someone who understands the value of putting your money into things that will last longer than a meal.

So what they’re saying is that Trump has legalized sexual discrimination… Exactly what we would expect from a known pedophile and convicted rapist.

The only thing this bill seems to affect are apps. It has no provision for websites, meaning kids would still have unlimited access to adult content. If a kid wants to get around browser checks, all they have to do is either install an older browser that doesn’t use the OS verification, or find a plug-in that fakes it (and of course those will immediately come out).

Even worse, if the OS requires ALL software to acknowledge the age verification checks, what do you think that means? Everyone in Colorado is required to immediately spend thousands to buy all new versions of every program they use? And what happens to the software that is no longer updated? If you’re lucky, you can buy something completely different and spend months rebuilding all your old information into the new system? Sounds wonderful.

Where did you get this from? Sounds like more of the crap from DOGE where Musk had no clue how computers work so he just assumed that everyone listed in SSI was getting automatically paid.

You might want to check your calendar. 1986 was 40 years ago. Ugh has it really been that long since I graduated high school?

Of course anyone who isn’t a complete idiot already knew that…

Honestly, are there any HDDs that can really reach 6gb/s speeds? I haven’t seen any that could reach 3gb/s. My current array is all running on SATA-2 backplanes, but with 8 drives in the raid it clocks out at 460MB/s sustained (bytes, not bits). Considering my previous NAS could barely reach 70MB/s on a 6-disk array, I was quite pleased with the new setup.

How to live forever. Oh wait…

If they weren’t on X and were reading reality-based information, they would already know the entire world hates Trump’s politics, and I certainly don’t blame anyone for hating the entire US in general. Too many people here will gladly hate an entire country even when they had no say in choosing their leaders, so it’s only fitting to see that attitude thrown back at us.

On the other hand, the exposure that all these Trump-supporting “influencers” are foreign bot accounts is hilarious, and I love that MAGA is finally being shown exactly who they’ve been listening to.

Your server needs to have a static IP address. Once you have that, and have your DNS service set up, then you should be able to update your domain(s) to point to the new DNS. This new server doesn’t have to be your primary DNS entry for the domain(s), but it should be one of the first two entries. And that’s pretty much all you need to get started.

One other consideration is setting up the master/slave status of your DNS servers so you only have to make updates in one spot (helpful to ensure everything stays in sync). This isn’t a requirement, it just makes your life easier.

Ah ok, that makes sense they can sue later. Thanks!

I’m just wondering why the fine is only $10k? Something like this where you blow someone away for no reason, you should be forfeiting all of your possessions to their surviving family since the victim will no longer be earning an income to support them.

So Trump is trying to start a civil war by starving the people that voted for him, but he’s also planning on starving the troops that were supposed to support his dictatorship? Just seems to prove the theory that the only thing which will save us from this regime is Trump’s own stupidity.

I think my suggestion would be to use the PC as a dedicated firewall, but you will need at least two ethernet ports for that (one to connect to the ISP router, and the second for internal network). This lets you learn network security and control the traffic that can actually get to your other computers. You could also set up KVM to start running virtual machines here. The idea with a VM is to keep services separate and isolated, so like one VM to manage security cameras, another VM to host a game server, another one to host sonarr/radarr/jellyfin… etc.

When you are able to expand, your second physical machine should be your NAS. Get your storage space started, share it over NFS or samba, and move your backup/security camera/sonarr VMs over to this machine for direct access to the larger storage space. Pay attention to system usage and move your VMs to balance the cpu/memory resources. Eventually you may want to get a third machine dedicated more for hosting the game servers, maybe a web server to view the security camera feeds, or whatever.

You mentioned backing up Wikipedia… Have a look at the Kiwix project, you can already get access to regular backups for a lot of information sites.

If only… I know who I’d put my money on. The only way Trump could win is if he accidentally fell on his opponent.

Yeah we definitely need more information. I don’t see anything in this post that suggests censorship.

Or we could see a bomb go off in the Pentagon, at the meeting to which Hegseth was “unfortunately running late”.

The big farms are the ones that can afford to bribe Trump with golden offerings, so they will get bailouts and then raise their prices anyway. This Winter is when things will start getting interesting, because we can’t afford to import food but we’ll have to do it anyway, and grocery prices will go through the roof. I can’t wait to hear the MAGA excuses about why they can’t eat, but it will of course be blamed on the Dems. Quite frankly, I say let them rot. I’ve been stockpiling canned goods over the Summer, I can wait it out.

Keep in mind that seasonal crops are going to be harvested soon, and nobody will be getting good prices from foreign sales this year. I know most farmers can ride out at least one bad season, but if the current policy continues into next year you can bet that a huge number of farms are going to completely collapse.

Meh there was nothing important about him and no reason for anyone to care. On the other hand, there was another school shooting in Evergreen, Colorado, at nearly the same time, and THAT is what everyone should be focusing on. Of course the cantaloupe in charge still hasn’t said a word about THAT because he couldn’t make that tragedy about himself.
