That type of thinking is no different than the christians who believe that unless everyone else believes as they do then they ALL go to hell.

That ype of “enforced community” bullshit is exactly that. Bullshit.

People spend way too much of their time worrying about everyone else. Yes, helping when you can is a good thing.

You, however, are the one professing all the doom here. If not everyone believes the right things then we are all doomed.

Except who decides what those right things are, and what will happen when you teach society to think in that way, and then some demagogue takes control, and decides to subtly start changing what those right thoughts are?

Why, you get what we’re going through right now, don’t you…

So no, group think is never a good idea even if the thoughts are the “right” ones.

Then let them. What does it matter to you? People are allowed to be complete morons if they wish.

You can’t use logic to talk someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to decide on in the first place.

Those kinds of people should get nothing but scorn from the rest of us. No conversation, no attempting to change their minds.

Just pure, unadulterated scorn and derision. Nothing else. Fucking morons aren’t useful for anything other than diluting the gene pool anyway.

ZFS ARC, baby!

I am not saying it’s worse, I’m saying it was still a collosal government fuck up that resulted in the deaths of an entire family.

Are you trying to tell me that it was ok simply because they believed in a sky daddy???

It’s crazy that you believe that government propaganda from then, but rightfully distrust the government now.

Just to add: Ruby Ridge…

Get off my lawn, kids! 🤣

Uh. OpnSense on bare metal can also do snapshots, if you set it up correctly…

It’s called a CB radio. Enjoy.

Is this the greatest game ever written?

No. It’s just a tribute.

Very regional.

In areas with high humidity they don’t work all that well

“Alabama Ingenuity” is the phrase I typically use these days.

I dress to avoid indecency charges.

And that’s the fault of whoever uses those hubs. You can use practically any zigbee hub you wish. Zigbee is zigbee.

You didn’t look very hard.

Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.

The Linux kernel isn’t really much different between any distribution of Linux.

If it works on one, it works on the rest, in like 99% of cases.

The only real exception to that is custom distributions built specifically for a particular device or subset of devices.

In other words, for embedded devices, like phones, routers, TVs and such.

And those aren’t going to be running Ubuntu.

In my own experience, certain things should always be on their own dedicated machines.

My primary router/firewall is on bare metal for this very reason.

I do not want to worry about my home network being completely unusable by the rest of my family because I decided to tweak something on the server.

I could quite easily run OpnSense in a VM, and I do that, too. I run proxmox, and have OpnSense installed and configured to at least provide connectivity for most devices. (Long story short: I have several subnets in my home network, but my VM OpnSense setup does not, as I only had one extra interface on that equipment, so only devices on the primary network would work)

And tbh, that only exists because I did have a router die, and installed OpnSense into my proxmox server temporarily while awaiting new-to-me equipment.

I didn’t see a point in removing it. So it’s there, just not automatically started.

My reasons for keeping OpnSense on bare metal mirror yours. But additionally I don’t want my network to take a crap because my proxmox box goes down.

I constantly am tweaking that machine…
