We're starting to argue about media bias and Venezuelan politics, which I don't think could possibly end. Surely I've outstayed my welcome on this lemmy community. I thank you for responding to and reading my links instead of just deleting them. Keep on fighting the fascists.

I would distinguish election observer groups reporting their first hand observations and politicians making statements. For South America:

Claim fraud:

  • Argentina
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • Panama
  • Peru
  • Uruguay

Seek verification:

  • Brazil
  • Bolivia
  • Colombia
  • Guatemala
  • Guyana
  • Mexico
  • Paraguay

Support:

  • Bolivia
  • Cuba
  • Nicaragua

You might be able to notice political leanings of the groups. Capitalists not liking an election result doesn't make it fraudulent. The same claims were made of previous elections and proven false after audit.

All of this is to ignore the 100 year history of U.S-backed coups in Venezuela and trade sanctions. It is hard to take American voices seriously when they claim to advocate for the people of Venezuela while enforcing sanctions that destroy their quality of life.

The only problem I run into is sites that use Bluetooth or USB APIs to talk to a local device. Both Firefox and Safari don't implement them due to security concerns.

It was meant in jest, I should have contrasted plain text / cipher text to be more clear. Though it's a similar kind of extenstion to email technology that they are advocating against.

These folks want to read their emails in their terminal email client, and for you to cater to their limitations. If you use tuta and send them an email, tuta just emails them a link to view the message on tuta's webapp. I'd say this anti-HTML group aren't fans of that.

Not to argue semantics, but I would consider encryption in general is a change in message formatting. The client needs to change how the bytes are interpreted. It adds complexity, and clients may not support it, their exact arguments against HTML.

I used to do the same. But some clients nowadays have IPv6 only nodes that I need to connect to, so I've had to enable v6.

With AWS now charging for v4 addresses, the need to at least running dual stack might pick up.

Hardly. As per Microsoft,

The execution policy isn't a security system that restricts user actions. For example, users can easily bypass a policy by typing the script contents at the command line when they cannot run a script.

Or you can run iwr -useb 'https://dodgy-website.com/whateverscriptyouwant.ps1' | iex to execute any script from the internet.

Or read the file and pass it onto a new powershell process with Get-Content . whateverscriptyouwant.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -noprofile -

Or use the built-in bypass toggle PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File whateverscriptyouwant.ps1

Or just actually change the execution policy for the proccess or user, via powershell or registry, because once again, it is not an access control. It is security theatre.

A lot of desktop motherboards have a slot for a M.2 WiFi card like that AX200. Usually though they already come with a card anyway. You can often also use the same ssd/HDDs going from laptop to desktop. CPU, RAM, and GPUs are different sizes and connectors though, and won't be transferrable.

Main thing for choosing a mac is the personal preference for the OS / interface. Its not totally better than Windows, there's pros and cons. You have to really want it to pay for the overpriced hardware. Even second hand they retain a lot resale value.

Check reviews that test writes over ~15 minutes. This kingston holds out the longest but then has a very low floor https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cqJ6pXctEd5BKJVLJN7TCD-1200-80.png

It's a worst case senario for all drives though, and they will drop in throughtput. Caches run out, heat build up, power supply gets strained, it's rough.

DRAM-less is fine for the deck. Playing games is mostly large reads and small writes for saves. When writing you're likely downloading which is going to be the slowest link in the chain. As you saw with this external drive, it could write quickly for 30GB. Getting bigger for less money is gonna be worth it, especially with the limited physical size of a 2230.

The key metric is game load times, which don't change much even for desktop systems on drives that read 400MB/s or 5GB/s. So don't worry about it too much.

Huh annoying. You can run zdb -C TheMass To get more info about the pool and the disks in it. Might list enough disk detail to give you confidence it's using the layout you want.

For me identifying disks usually ends up being unplugging them one by one and checking which shows OFFLINE. Could be worth the trouble to know for sure its specifying and using the disks.

In any case a good time to setup a backup for anything you can't replace.

I'm not familiar with ZFS on Linux, but what is 9173635512214770897 referencing? The command is usually zpool replace pool device [new_device] So if you physically swapped out the old disk and put in a new one, you only need to specify the new disk. If you leave the old one plugged it you list both (old one first).

I don't know what best practice is for specifying disks to ZFS on Linux, but arch wiki suggests not using /dev/sdc, but the ID instead https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ZFS#Identify_disks

Also you don't need to offline the pool to replace a disk, you can keep using it as it resilvers.
