    If you can manage a Linux server, you likely have no use for Unraid. If you want to put together a Synology type appliance out of PC hardware to run Docker containers and uses ZFS for backups, Unraid is a fairly user friendly option.

    I'm a guy who prefers community based distros. They don't have business decisions get in the way of the needs of the community. It ain't perfect, but it's worth the tradeoffs for me. Debian for stuff I don't want to constantly mess with. Arch for the express purpose of constantly messing with (and sometimes messing up).

    I've only barely gone beyond the more "backup + Docker appliance" style front end of Unraid, so I'm not sure. They make it extremely difficult for the untrained to get where you can break stuff. I am mostly an Arch/Debian guy.

    Doesn't bother me much. I have plenty of other games to play and the best experience and performance comes long after release. I only get to play a game for the first time once, and I value that over following a hype cycle.

    Helping a strategic trade ally and making it clear that they have the backing of the US in more than just words seems to me like something that would make invading Taiwan even more risky than an amphibious invasion would already be. It's not like Taiwan (or the US) is going to invade the mainland, so I can see why this is, and has been, the foreign policy of the US. The US aircraft carrier group that's patroling the area and the commitment to defend Taiwan in the TRA are already a thing. This is just following through on commitments already announced. I don't see a way that this transfer of weapons could be used as a pretense for an attack where the international response wouldn't be extremely negative towards mainline China. I don't agree with a lot of the foreign policy of the US, but I can see how they justify it with their own interests.

    Of course that's the motivation here, but fact isn't anti-west enough for some folks around here. Sure, there is plenty of criticism to bring up about the foreign policy of America, but this is a move is expressly a war deterrent.

    I'm pretty sure this is an obvious deterrent move so that China invading Taiwan doesn't collapse the world economy and not a push for war. An invasion of Taiwan would be one of the worst things to happen to the American economy, so as much as "America wants war" gets posted, I just don't see it here. Only TSMC has the tech or the capacity to manufacture the chips they make. That is the priority with this move.

  • My buddy played a gig last night with a guy who brought this genius amp. Pretty slick for a small footprint amp for hauling to gigs. He said it sounded great through the owner’s Tele and my friend’s Strat.

    You can get a lot of work done with a used mini PC. For $120 you can get a Ryzen 2400G powered Elitedesk. Many were originally purchased by offices pre-covid and sat unused while WFH became widely adopted. They are more performant than a raspberry pi and can do a lot more work for not that much more money or power draw. I even use one as a HTPC under my TV and for Steam in-home streaming.

    If they are trying to use this to be profitable and grab sponsors, I don't see how that works. This is newsworthy, even though I agree that Twitter talk is getting old.
