  • It really will but not because it’s so functional that we can’t compete with it.

    It’s going to cause mass unemployment because the imagined potential end of labor is so lucrative that it’s worth just about any price. Since the people who will own it don’t have to pay most of that price they are of course willing to force it into every single space out there to further externalize research and development costs onto an unwilling public.

    They genuinely don’t care what is spent, broken, or lost in their pursuit of infinite wealth.




  • A friend of mine noticed that a police car was coming up fast behind us so he told our friend with a joint to get rid of it. The police car had its lights flashing and though we were going probably 60 or 70 it was easily going 80 or 90.

    The friend flicked it right out the window, and to my great horror it went right in the window of the cop car as it sailed by us. We could see it bounce into the back window like a hammer striking iron, The cab lit up brighter than I thought a single joint would shine against the glare of the cherries and berries.

    We immediately got off the highway, took the first few turns we could and then parked in a driveway with all the lights off.

    Two police cars drove down the street behind us with lights flashing but no sirens while we hunkered down trying to avoid being seen. We just kind of hid there for probably 40 minutes until we stop seeing police lights.



  • The police could learn to keep their distance and stop instigating violence. If you push people they’ll push back. If you’re armed expect them to not give you a chance to use your weapon.

    The lesson here is let people do their peaceful protesting and you won’t necessitate violence.

    This isn’t a right-wing protest, this crowd doesn’t want violence, it wants to be heard. This crowd is willing to use violence to ensure it’s right to be heard is preserved.

    Until I can see some evidence that the unarmed crowd instigated violence against the armed police I’m going to consider the armed police to be the instigators since they showed up armed and then approached a crowd of people who were voicing their opinion.



  • I second this.

    I have three large disk shelves, one made from a J23 CSA connected to an perc h730 in HBA mode, one made from a super micro connected to a LSI HBA card, and one that uses a repurposed DATTO unit with its original raid card flashed into IT mode.

    They are all extremely reliable, handling dozens of drives and I use only ZFS for all of my bulk storage. The best part is how much faster I can replace a dead drive with ZFS than I could with any raid 5 anything. Also, ZFS is flexible enough that you can put ssds in to use for journaling and slog.

    I have one machine with 192gb of RAM and I just use the ramdisk for slog. It’s all streaming media so if it crashes only the buffered streams are lost, and this way I’m not burning holes through SSDs quite so quickly.
