The US promised to bring this to the UN security console and did. However Russia has veto rights on the UN security console and so this went nowhere.

RaidZ1 is not the same as a mirror. I’m not sure if you are allowed to have Z1 with only 2 disks, but if you are you still shouldn’t because while it scales down that far it still does parity calculations and writes that to the second disk instead of just writing a copy of the data (the parity calculations probably result in the same data, but I doubt this is optimized)

ZFS snapshots are easy to settup. If you don’t notice that you deleted all the snapshots for a month you never will.

you still should have offsite backups for a fire, but the notion that raid isn’t backup is not really correct since for most people the situations that raid with snapshots isn’t enough protection will never occure and to the risk is acceptable. Plus raid is a lot easier to get right. For that matter if you have a backup but don’t have the password after the fire you don’t have a backup.

though if you rely on raid alone I’d want 3 disk redundancy.

In my case it wasn’t expanding the partition, it was clearing the pacman cache of old packages. I have limited space on my laptop.

True, but as a general rule until you get to the F350 class or higher states don’t charge that extra tax.

The F350 is the smallest vehicle where they charge by weight. Unfortunately they don’t check for how much you use it, so for the 6 times a year I use mine I’m paying $.10/mile - while someone else who uses it for hauling as a job is paying $.01/mile.

Everything starts with what my family needs/uses. Jellyfin for media. Grocy to track which kid has done their chores. Home assistant to make a nice dashboard in the kitchen to see the family calendar (still on google) and the chores. I’ve tried a few other things, but those are the ones important to me.

I only have leagally owned movies. I’m technically violating some law but since I can show the judge the originals and they are not available outside myhome they won’t dare go after me - a jury won’t convict and even if one would I’m a perfect ‘normal man’ who proved the law is unjust. I won’t be as well known as Rosa Parks in history but I’d be a perfect story to rally around to get the las changed and they won’t risk that

I don’t see what you are disagreeing with. There is a reason Ukraine isn’t attacking Hospitals in Russia even though they could: they know this and are figuring it out. Ukraine has plenty of targets for 100 tomahawks - but they know that will not directly end the war even though it is useful as part of the war.

Atacks on the enemy has long been known to force their resolve to fight on. finding a useful target for missles is hard. Not that there isn’t a use for hundreds but that they are not as useful as many think.

Did they get the transformers though? Some diesel engines there is just wires between the cab and the transformer and no computers. You select which winding to use with a simple switch. These days I’d expect in-cab computers, but you can run without if you don’t care about safety (which we already know Russia doesn’t)

They are killing their labor force, and steam engines need more labor. (In the US diesel engines used more fuel than a steam engine when steam was retired - but it needed less people to run and so was overall a lot cheaper. I don’t know how Russia compares but I assume similar)

I don’t know russian locomotives but I’d guess finding the oil fill on the first would take an hour but after that it is 10 minutes or less.

Not mentioned in the above, but water glass is what was most commonly used in the “cash for clunkers” program to ensure the car traded in under this program was taking off the road. Which is why I suggested it. You can get it easily enough if you look (I assume, I don’t know the situation in Russia), and it will do damage after you get away.

I would expect a jug full per locomotive would be enough - the train would continue to run for a while (I’m not sure if this is hours or days), but by the time anyone noticed the damage is done and it won’t be easy to fix.

That always worked - on a minority of women. There are only a few men willing to descend to those disgusting levels so it worked out for them. (if it was any more society as we know it would break down).

The men who did it crossed the political spectrum trying to blame people you don’t like for everything does your side no favors.

How repairable is this? The cab of locomotives (looks like that is all they got) can be very simple. Put a cushion on the seat and put some electric tape around some wires and it will be working in a day. Maybe you lose in-cab signaling, but we did without that for decades.

If anyone can get access to these people, better to pour some “water glass” into the engine oil - it will run for a short time, while destroying the engine bearings and cylinders - it will be a major rebuild to get that engine running again (probably cheaper and faster to scrap it)

IIRC Russia only has around 6000 locomotives and most are in use so if this is hard to repair this is significant, but it feels like a feel good piece that makes no difference.

After verifying that OP’s intent was met I gave a more fun answer that abused the letter of what was asked.

Yes. However as others have already said odds are you don’t have the right devices. Still if you really work at it everything exists. Start by selecting one of the few TVs that support it, then get a good HDMI cable, make sure you have a video card that supports it, with drivers for the OS (you might have to write them yourself), then just setup networking. This would be an interesting hack, I’d love to see someone get it working and show their setup, but it is otherwise useless and will be a lot of work.

Cage is not what I want from a kiosk. I want window management, I just want a few fixed windows in fixed positions. Sometimes I want to rotate between a few windows. I’m running Magicmirror now which gives what I want, but it is too slow and too locked into the everything is a web app model.

What does anything matter. If you deal with someone else at least one of you needs to learn the others systems. You and your neighbor probably speak the same language so it is easy, but the more differences the more there is to learn. You can choose to not deal with people in the US who only know US systems, or you can work with them by learning. I have no idea what your motivations are, but whatever they are they becomes your reasons to do or not do something.
