I’m not so sure. I think it’s established that the percentage of Republicans who won’t vote for Trump is a lot higher than the percentage that will admit to it in front of their peers.

All we need is a few %, low single digits.

This is the correct answer. They need to remove the cap before doing anything else.

I like it much better when Republicans stick to pushing for things that are just useless rather than destructive.

Came here to find a Mitch Hedberg reference; was not disappointed

Yes, tell us more…

Sigh…reinstalling Deus Ex today, then.

They just had to make it look like a Geth.

Wait, wait — let me guess. They’ll say it affects non-citizens, but it will actually create tedious barriers to voting that affect mostly the American urban working class.

Plot twist: he’ll figure it out by getting the kids to talk without them even realizing they’re being interrogated.

Implied by this: centrists see all this mainly as a financial matter.

Yeah, we got a Daikin setup installed by MSP, who work in the Twin Cities metro.

We got a new heat pump installed in our 1920s house in Minnesota a couple years ago. It works its ass off all year, and only needs help from the boiler in the deepest depths of winter, which it probably wouldn’t if the house were better insulated. It’s always cheaper for us than gas, and it feels great to have our climate control 80-90% decarbonized.

I’m increasingly convinced that her strategy is to a) bet that Trump is going to jail, and b) stay active in the primary as long as she can so she’s the indisputable backup nominee when that happens.

I’m a happy btrfs user, but it’s most definitely a great thing to see what seems like a really clean implementation like this that is able to learn from the many years of collective experience with ZFS and btrfs.

This one is particularly good

It is exactly that. I don’t understand the hate…Wayland is vastly better, less complex and more secure at the fundamentals of running an accelerated window system.

I just recently felt this again, since I decided it had been too long since I’d installed a weird OS, and now I’m running Wayfire on FreeBSD as suggested by the Wayland section of the setup guide and it turns out…it’s a descendant of Compiz. Wobbly windows are BACK!

For a software RAID like this, you don’t want a hardware RAID controller, per se – you just want a bunch of ports. After my recent controller failure, I decided to try one of these. It’s slick as hell, sitting close to the motherboard, and seems rock solid so far. We’ll see!

I’m not sure I know enough to be giving out advice, but I can tell you what I do. I do have a cron job to run scrub, to keep the bitrot away. I also tend to replace my drives proactively when they get REALLY old — the flexibility of btrfs raid1 lets me do that one drive at a time instead of two, making it much more affordable. You can plan out your storage with the btrfs calculator.

This right here is what has made it so flexible for me to reuse salvaged equipment. You can just chuck a bunch of randomly sized drives at it, and it will give you as much storage as it can while guaranteeing you can lose any one drive. Fantastic.
