Have any of these actions had a measurable positive impact on the crime rates of the cities where it happens…? Oh… Its just performative, like always. Great.

I’d recommend a solid backup client. This isn’t something you want to find broken when you need it.

Kopia is what I use, and it supports local (LAN) targets, as well as cloud storage if you want 3:2:1 for some or all of your data. Good luck!

Theres a Romm app in ports you can use for this.

I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.

Is there a place accepting bets on his BAC%?

Similar setup here with a 7900xtx, works great and the 20-30b models are honestly pretty good these days. Magistral, Qwen 3 Coder, GPT-OSS are most of what I use

Yeah, similar sized environments here too, but had good experiences with Ansible. Saw Chef struggle at even smaller scales. And Puppet. And Saltstack. But I’ve also seen all of them succeed too. Like most things it depends on how you run it. Nothing is a perfect solution. But I think Ansible has few game breaking tradeoffs for it’s advantages.

Wow, huge disagree on saltstack and chef being ahead of Ansible. I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

Ansible is just so much lower overhead and so much easier to understand and make changes to. It’s dominating the configuration management space for a reason. And nearly all of the self hosted/homelab space is active in Ansible and have tons of well baked playbooks.

This simply isn’t true. Crime rates have fallen significantly, including violent crime. In addition, car accidents and pedestrian deaths have also decreased significantly per capita compared to 30+ years ago, though has been on the rise in the last decade or two depending on the study.

This is entirely being driven by changing perceptions in America due to the 24h news cycle and sensationalized national news.

What controller?

Like I said above, the outcomes are spread across a wide spectrum of impact. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

But yeah, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t suck.

Still don’t see any sources for any of these claims.

You made a claim.

I made a scientific claim that counters yours with evidence from a trusted, scientific source.

Either cite a scientific source that directly states such a personality change cannot occur in this way from a stroke, or you’re just arguing against science with vibes and feels and no one here needs to take you seriously.

With a stroke, the whole brain is being affected. It’s a partial or complete lack of oxygen.

Everything is on the table.

I mean, regardless of anecdote or how people feel, stroke survivors personalities shifting and becoming more selfish, conspiratorial, and hateful is a well known and documented medical phenomena. Like many such things, it happens in some cases and not others, and on a spectrum of impact.

I don’t know if anyone, Fetterman included, knows for sure the truth.

Supposedly he pinned it to the age of his daughter… Who demanded he not date girls younger than her when she was 12.

Earlier this month, Minnesota’s Republican Congressional delegation demanded the Canadian government deploy new technology and share its plans for mitigating wildfires and smoke.

OH now I see, just another attempt by the feeble Republicans in Minnesota who haven’t had power in decades to embarrass themselves by trying to steal headlines.

Yep, this is the thing people often forget about gerrymandering. The entire point is to take a large margin of victory in an area, and use it to offset your opponents margin in another area, usually by carving into your opponents margin with several of your own.

The more gerrymandered a set of districts is, the more likely they are to be tipped by an unexpected change of turn out by a given group.

One group gets complacent (my vote doesn’t matter in this state, since my party always wins!) or one group gets fired up… And suddenly the story flips.

I’m not sure it accounts for everything, but people tend to embrace conservatism (and yes, eventually Authoritarianism) due to fear. I was very young during the HIV/AIDS scare, but the fear was rampant and very real.

Magic Johnson making his diagnosis public and Princess Diana touching someone with AIDS was international headline news.

People are dumb and fear makes us less empathetic and even dumber.
