  • I like the bit about Hegseth, showing just what an idiot he is. First off, saying that advancing towards a Utopia is a BAD thing? Then acting like the Republicans had anything to do with “Hamas crying uncle” when that entire conflict has occurred during Biden’s time in office.

    And anyone who refers to Gaetz as “deeply gifted and tenacious” must themselves be a complete blathering idiot.






  • The current belief is that it can affect the brains of growing children, but they’re not sure to what extent. In my state the legal age is 21, the same as for drinking. In adults, straight cannabis will not harm you in any way other than the usual effects of being under the influence and not always making rational choices. Worst case, you sleep it off. Do keep in mind that smoking it can slowly damage your lungs, the same as breathing any find particulates over a long period of time. I personally prefer edibles for long-term use, but the baking process does reduce the potency.

    Now, like any drug, the reason you want to take it can be very important. If you need something to escape reality on a permanent basis, obviously you have a larger problem that no drug is ever going to solve. However the occasional evening can be quite entertaining, much like a trip to the water park. Other people (like myself) take it on a regular basis to help with medical problems, usually pain relief or sleep issues, where CBD is the answer rather than the THC component.

    For myself, I’ve had sleeping problems for the past 16 years (since a bad car wreck). I worked with my doctor for awhile trying to find something that would help. The problem is, I’m a computer tech and I need my mind sharp for troubleshooting or writing code. All the prescription drugs leave your brain in a fog through much of the next day, and then what use am I? It turns out that marijuana has a fairly quick drop-off, so it can provide help through the night, and is pretty much out of my system by the time I head for work. As with anything, it takes some time to find the right dose. I take it along with other prescription medications to address different issues, but I’ve been getting good restful sleep for the past 9 years and feeling much more like myself again. For these purposes I highly recommend it, but talk to someone knowledgeable to guide you to the right strains and give advice on what to expect.





  • Are you sure about that? Ever hear about this supposed predictable network names in recent linux versions? Yeah those can change too. I was trying to set up a new firewall with two internal NICs plus a 4-port card, and they kept moving around. I finally figured out that if I cold-booted the NICs would come up in one order, and if I warm-booted they would come up in a completely different order (like the ports on the card would reverse which order they were detected). This was completely the fault of systemd because when I installed an older linux and used udev to map the ports, it worked exactly as predicted. These days I trust nothing.

    OP – if your array is in good condition (and it looks like it is) you have an option to replace drives one by one, but this will take some time (probably over a period of days). The idea is to remove a disk from the pool by its old name, then re-add the disk under the corrected name, wait for the pool to rebuild, then do the process again with the next drive. Double-check, but I think this is the proper procedure…

    zpool offline poolname /dev/nvme1n1p1

    zpool replace poolname /dev/nvme1n1p1 /dev/disk/by-id/drivename

    Check zpool status to confirm when the drive is done rebuilding under the new name, then move on to the next drive. This is the process I use when replacing a failed drive in a pool, and since that one drive is technically in a failed state right now, this same process should work for you to transfer over to the safe names. Keep in mind that this will probably put a lot of strain on your drives since the contents have to be rebuilt (although there is a small possibility zfs may recognize the drive contents and just start working immediately?), so be prepared in case a drive does actually fail during the process.


  • That is definitely true of zfs as well. In fact I have never seen a guide which suggests anything other than using the names found under /dev/disk/by-id/ or /dev/disk/by-id/uuid and that is to prevent this very problem. If the proper convention is used then you can plug the drives in through any available interface, in any order, and zfs will easily re-assemble the pool at boot.

    So now this begs the question… is proxmox using some insane configuration to create drive clusters using the name they happen to boot up with???










  • Wow, the comments in that article pretty much sum up the snowflake dynamic of conservatives. Not telling your husband who you voted for violates the sanctity of marriage? Maybe if you weren’t such a putz and actually listened to the reasons why no woman anywhere should be voting for Trump, your wife wouldn’t need to hide it from you. Maybe if you weren’t such a precious snowflake who was likely to be set off in a rage by the idea that a woman could have a valid reason for casting a vote that wasn’t centered around your manhood somehow being threatened by the idea of voting for a female president, your wife wouldn’t have to hide her vote from you.

    This election isn’t about red vs. blue, it’s about women literally dying because of the draconian laws conservatives are passing under the guise of “anti-abortion”. There’s nothing hypothetical about this, it’s already happening, and giving Trump and Vance any ground to move forward with Project 2025 is going to make it so much worse.
