Did some further reading on this.
Trump is appealing the James ruling. While the appeal is under review, he was still required to pay the penalty amount as a bond to stave off the possibility of the state seizing his assets.
While the bond amount has been reduced to $US175 million. The full penalty still stands if his appeal against the ruling fails!
Link to play the game itself...
Twin towers Sept 2001?
Seems he didn't want to give up what he saw as his personal trophies and mementos. A physical cache proving that he was once president with access to top secret information, that he can brag about or leverage for self-gain. He's used to always getting his way, or negotiating a favourable 'deal', burying those occasions which fail. A lot of his actions are difficult to rationalise as a normal person.
This has been pinned a few days now. Site health was pretty dire with several long outages.
But subjectively in the last 48 hours things seem to be great. Noticeably responsive and login and activities haven't missed a beat.
StatusPage.io still looks very red though... Is the worst now mitigated?
Thanks to the stirling admins (and friends) for their work on this. Vive la Lemmy.World!
I think a problem with blind voting is, who do the citizens know who represented them and acted in their interest, and therefore who they should support and vote for? Backroom deals and corruption would run rife. Greater transparency is better than less.
A conscience vote, where the party leaders do not enforce a particular party line, instead accept the will of the representative member (notionally on behalf of their constituents) should be more commonplace. This is essentially the same as getting an independent. Best bet is to break up the 2-party system.
Amazing work. Thankyou :)
Jerboa 0.0.37 now working fine for me, been hanging out to update.
Really appreciate the transparent communications.
Suggest the typical hardware device troubleshooting. watch/tail your dmesg -w or kernel log as you add the extra drive. It's curious that the system itself doesn't crash, but from your description it still sounds like a power starvation concern or possibly high temperatures if this device is under heavy load.
The subtle variations and intensity just hook you in to the mind loop.
Likewise. And still hearing the refrain 15 minutes later 😁
Agree with the VPS in this case. For sure you can create public-facing services in a home server or home lab, but to do so you need:
If you're new to these things, Id start with something more mature for personal or family home use first. Like NextCloud, HomeAssistant or Jellyfin media server. Lots of YouTubers have covered how these can be set up as a reference.
Lemmy is still alpha, full of bugs and security vulnerabilities and needs regular hotfixes and babysitting. Permitting Joe Public into your home services is ripe for disaster unless you have the time and expertise.
Difficult to read the graph, but looks like you have less than 4GB ram. Depending what sort of OS and services are running (from above suggestions), this is likely the biggest issue.
You haven't mentioned which services you're running, but 4GB might be enough perhaps for a basic OS with NAS file share services. But anything heavier, like running Container services will eat that up. You'd want at least 8GB.
Note also that you may not have a dedicated graphics card? If you have integrated graphics, some ram is taken from System and shared with the GPU. If you're just running command line, you might eke out a little more RAM for system by reducing the VRAM allocation in your BIOS. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory
Agree. Best to have that dedicated hardware, and a degree in network engineering first! Hah :)
::: spoiler tech waffle... You might achieve network isolation without dedicated managed switches by: using prosumer routers or OpenWRT, with a Hypervisor like Proxmox, which support VLAN tagging. But this wouldn't save your home connection from a DDoS. To help with that, running public services behind CloudFlare seems to be one of the better choices, even our Lemmy hosts are using. :::
If you're starting out, best keep internet facing home services private through a VPN, maybe ZeroTier or TailScale. Don't advertise them publically at all.
Problems with spinning HDDs on RPI are common. Possibly even on powered hubs they may spike more than rpis 1.2A USB max allowance. You may need a specialised hat, or better to switch to solid state storage?
Maybe check out the Asus TUF-ax4200 gaming modem/router? Just bought one and it's been an awesome upgrade to my old AC modem/router. Wifi6/AX, 4 core, good ram, 1x 2.5GbE WAN and 4x1GbE LAN. Has USB to take a mobile SIM for dual WAN/failover. ASUSs software is very good, but it is on the support list for openwrt once Asus stop supporting it.
Makes sense. It's a shame when these should be fundamental principals and accountability of the person's elected.
The concern for me is there would be those that act without conscience or care, the 'wreckers' that don't have any current policy or engage in rational debate, they're in plain sight already today and not being held to account?
Down-under, we have some other mechanisms to try to preserve democracy:
Mandatory voting and preferential voting. This provides opportunities for third parties and independents who engage with voters.
Ethics Committees, used at state levels but pushes for a Federal Ethics Committee. "They allow Parliament to scrutinise the Executive more effectively, making it more responsible to the people"
Caps on political donations is another measure, supported by progressives but not yet by the conservatives.
Seconded on Cockpit project w File Sharing.
Probably not best practice, but it's possible to install it on the PVE host itself since its ZFS manager and Identity manager plugins and other features fills some gaps in what Proxmox doesn't do (or would have to drop to CLI to do).
Also recommend RClone in a systemd can take care of various file movements, syncs and backup tasks you may need against the host, vdumps or SMB file shares.
I can see where you're coming from, and agree, but ISPs in Australia providing services on the National Broadband Network NBN will almost always describe this as a modem router.
It's not uncommon, right or wrong, even Verisign USA describe a modem vs router thus: "The modem is responsible for sending and receiving signals from the ISP, while the router disperses the signal to devices on the network"
So, this doesn't exclusively modulate and demodulate (mo-dem) an analog to digital signal in this case, and 100% it doesn't have the physical hardware to do so, but it is nonetheless required to negotiate ('modulate'?) the internet connection with an ISP, albeit software-defined through digital PPP Ethernet protocols.
All this is a bit off topic, but I hope the OP (or others) may better define the internet service needed, and may determine if this device may be suitable for their requirements.
I'm glad it includes openwrt support for later down the track. It's one of the few AX devices with such support and I chose it specifically for this reason!
Meets definition of a modem/router depending on what physical connection and protocols your ISP provides.
My Ethernet WAN connects to the ISPs NTU (optical fibre network termination unit), but WAN is capable of negotiating PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP with PAP/CHAP. Can also Dual WAN, Port forward, NAT.
The documentation is a little lacking. And no ADSL/VDSL etc. but it meets reqs for some.
For a few seconds this could have been a shit post. But when you see it, its shitpost.
