Wait, did Brendan Eich design Rust? ... In my fantasy head cannon, he comes back to save Mozilla, fires all the dead weight and apologized to the world for Javascript.
I think it might have been due to using Void Linux. Their RPI images aren't the best honestly. I've switched to use a rack of Intel NUCs. They have 10g NICs attached via Thunderbolt and run as a Proxmox cluster. They serve my data mining/hording purposes for now. Two hold a postgres master/slave pair, but they only have 4TB nvme. I have one db server built out with 3x raidz drives that's getting a replica set and hope to have a second built out this month so I no longer have to depend on storage on the NUCs.
I should put the pi cluster back together at some point and try Kamal on them.
I feel like everyone has forgotten or totally excused and justified how fucked up those years were. It's not alright, it wasn't alright and there have been no consequences for the absolutely insane and unjustified panic.
You realize that Biden kept most tariffs Trump imposed the first time, right? It was one of the few things he didn't revoke with an executive order.
I don't think tariffs on Canada will affect Americans at all. I think Canada, being a nation that locks up peaceful trucker protesters who literally just wanted to work without getting the least tested drug in modern regulatory history, has hurt itself more than anything. Canada was literally run by Castro's bastard.
He is not a savior. He drained the swamp last time to fill it with more swamp creatures. He's not the anti-Christ either. As divisive as his administration is (and it's intentional; he, like every president before him, is just a puppet of the CIA. The division is part of the propaganda).
That being said, the tariffs are mostly well thought out and good things. Closing the border to massive illegal crossing is a good thing. Deporting people before they're granted some kind of equitable entitlement (squatters rites) is a good thing. Stopping most foreign aid (which is used to extract resources form nations and make them less democratic) is a good thing.
Giving money to Israel and Ukraine is a bad thing. Musk isn't a Nazi, but giving more power to the world's largest defense contractor, who claims to be anti-censorship while he censors people, and who wants to chip your brain is a very bad thing. Hiring Peter Thiel's discount disciple JD "Discount Hillbilly" Vance (not his real name) is a very bad thing. Filling the crypto market with new TRUMP/MELINA shit-coins is dumb and bad thing.
You should look at issues individually. Don't focus on the puppet. He's a distraction. He's not the man behind the curtain.
Well I was thinking of the secrets leaders of old families like the Rockefellers, McArthurs, Carlyles, etc. The dozens of people at Bohemian Groove that don't end up as public figures .. so, probably not decent people (although I guess there could be a few). Just people who push an idea for the world by shifting their wealth behind the scenes.
The true richest people in the world are not the Gates and Bezos and Musks ... the ones with the most power keep their wealth distributed and their names away from public scrutiny.
Yes. Definitely. I remember back around 2009 when I had a friend who hated Wal-marts, and had stopped shopping there. But he had two kids and was like, "Over half my shopping list is $1 cheaper" and started shopping there again.
Capitalism shouldn't have ethics, it should be based on merit. But we don't have real free market capitalism anywhere in the world.
Any type of Inclusivity is always going to exclude people based on bigoted preferences. Inclusivity is a mantra chanted by the weak to impose their own form of othering as if it were a virtue. I wrote about it years ago:
While I generally agree with the sentiment, and have lived my life by being careful who I give my money to, you can't really escape the power of advertising and economies of scale. I wrote this a while back about "voting with your dollar":
You can secure your privacy on modern cars, it just takes work. You can find bypass harnesses on a lot of forums, or plans to make them. You often have to crack open your dash and find the modem.
You can't just pull the fuse because almost every manufacturer wires it in such a way that if you pull the modem fuse, you loose bluetooth and one speaker (used for the on-star shit).
Evendale. I use to work there, in the GE building. Some dickhead cop gave me a speeding ticket for 73 in a 55 on the morning commute on the Interstate.
