  • But they aren’t saying death to Israelis when saying death to the IDF. You have to understand the difference between wishing for genocide upon a group of people and wishing for the end of an institution that does nothing but harm and bad.

    It’s also worth noting that the only right thing to do for a member of the IDF is to fight the IDF.

    They are morally obligated to tear down the infrastructure of genocide that they are a part of. The only good IDF soldier is the one who is working in earnest to oppose the IDF. All of the rest of them are cowardly garbage human beings who should probably go to the Hague.

    A tremendous number of them probably should be hung until death and then buried at sea with no ceremony. People who do what they do should have even their memories killed.



  • I worked IT for two different school districts. The kids tech skills are seriously lacking.

    It’s seriously basic stuff like not knowing what a url, folder, directory or path is, not knowing that files are on the computer in a folder someplace instead of in “such-and-such app”, no concept of how to even begin troubleshooting and something like a genuine fear of anything that is not an Apple interface.

    The kids had windows laptops that they would use for school work but then I would find them composing everything on their iPhones only to email it to themselves and then submit it from their Windows laptops.

    Things like attaching files were a real chore for people that don’t understand file systems or sizes, and it doesn’t help that many of their teachers are similarly lacking the computer skills necessary to understand where these kids are falling off.

    I worked in the IT department, but I spent a lot of time talking to teachers. Several of them brought me into their classrooms to teach ‘curiosity skills’ since I think the computer can often teach you how to use it if you’re just curious enough to try.


  • 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.




  • 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.
