IIRC TrueNAS next release will include RaidZ1 with 2 disks

The Ryzen 9000 series is releasing on the 15th. The 9600X might also be worth a look for $279 (according to AMD).

Edit: scratch that. The first reviews are out and it doesn’t look good for the new CPUs

The components are well balanced. You might want to take a look at PSU Cultists Tier List.

Maybe take a look at the Thermalright (Peerless) Assassin CPU Coolers. They are testing well and are very affordable.

Lastly, you should make sure your mainboard has everything you need (M.2 slots, RAM slots, …). Upgrading a mainboard is not that much money.

Not participating in a disinformation war reminds me of the hesitation to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with the supplied weapons. What incentive does thr other side have to stop?

Repeat after me “Fines need to be tied to global revenue”. It has to hurt, if you want companies to stop.

I think it’s hilarious that western leaders are worried about provoking Russia by providing Ukraine with weaponry that can be used in Russian territory.

Russia is at war with us. It’s not tanks, fighter jets and battleships. It’s cyber warfare, disinfomation campaigns, bribing of right wing politicians and poisonings. Just because nobody wants to call it a war, doesn’t make it go away.

Congress should have a theme for this. “Warcrime Wednesdays”?

Logseq + Syncthing for Linux and Android

“Oops.” - The people killing our world and won’t face any real consequences.

More and more aspects of life require an app or at least a smartphone (QR codes). That already excludes older people from some aspects of daily life. Let’s do the same for kids!

Politicians should do their jobs and regulate tech and social media not ban useful devices.

Sports are divided by gender, because it’s easy. It has been done that way for a long time.

But how is a long jump competition between a 1,50m and a 1,90m woman fair?

It’s not.

People who want fairness should see past easy binary characteristics. We are tracking hormone levels, muscle mass, body fat and countless other statistics in professional sports. Why can’t we divide athletes in 3, 4, or more different groups?

“It’s unfair to have trans athletes compete with women!”

It’s unfair when I play basketball against LeBron, as well.

Bigoted people are making it about competition while holding onto the archaic division between men and women.

They could create other criteria and have 3, 4 … Separate groups. Making sports much fairer. But this is about oppression, not fairness.

Why companies aren’t fined for every customers data they didn’t secure properly is beyond me. This should cost them a specific sum per customer or part of their annual global revenue. Make it hurt.

Otherwise they have no reason to spend money to properly secure people’s data.

This will never happen. A hospital in a jail? A Republican would never improve healthcare in the prison system.
