Ah, that's the bending we're talking about. Thanks for clarifying I was confused lol.

Isn't spirit bending part of air bending, not water bending?

The local hockey scene would be ecstatic, lol

Can Minnesota and Michigan come too?

SHR (hybrid RAID) doesn't really have a good open source alternative unless you're game to try something bleeding edge like seaweedfs.

The most recommended strategy to replace this is to use snapraid + mergerfs, which absolutely does work and scales but has it's own drawbacks, namely that it's a lot more management, it lacks bitrot protection like big players such as ZFS (though SHR also lacks this from my understanding), and it's offered protection is limited after files change.

In most cases I highly recommended biting the bullet and going with ZFS. It's a world class solution. With your mix of drives you'd end up using ZRAID-10, which uses more disk space but is flexible to upgrade and offers superior data protection and performance. There are a few push button solutions for ZFS including Proxmox and FreeNAS.

If safety isn't as important as storage space, stick with Xpenology.

Asked specifically about the GPDA’s calls, Ben Sulayem said: “None of their business. Sorry.

“This is our business,” he said when asked about recent events. “We'll do whatever is good for the FIA. So it's really none of people's business to interfere in ours. It's the results that we produce.”

“Do we have to tell them? When something in the teams changes, do they tell us? No, they don't. Nobody has to. We have the rules, we follow our rules. We don't follow someone else's rule. Simple as this.”

“I mean, with the media, with all respect, why do I have to answer everything?” he said. “I have a responsibility towards my members and towards the sport.

Arrogant piece of shit needs to be humbled badly, ideally moments before being shoved out the door. He thinks he's untouchable and unaccountable.

If you're on X86 you'd probably benefit from virtualizing Arm. Have you tried Anbox? It's integrated directly with KVM to virtualize Arm first and run Android on that.

Obsidian Live Sync plugin is a great combo of self hosted and offline/local.

Waydroid is vastly superior to BlueStacks anyway

No idea how I'm supposed to take this ranty blog needlessly interspersed with furry cartoons seriously. But it's basically just restating (poorly) all the same criticisms and alternatives written about here: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem/

The 'real' criticisms of PGP are that it's old, it's clunky, and it doesn't support forward secrecy by design. None of that is invalid, but I think the importance of those points depends on the use case and user.

The alternatives given are myriad and complexity and clunkiness are interspersed between dozens of solutions instead of well understood and documented in one tool.

That isn't a superior approach. I'm not arguing that PGP is perfect, but it's absolutely asinine to suggest (like this blog and others suggest) that the solution is to use dozens of other solutions with their own problems and with less auditing.

If we're going to replace PGP, we need to do it properly in a centralized library/toolchain. Breaking up the solution and spreading it around just magnifies the problems.

Not here in Minnesota. Thanks Mr. Walz!

Haha, wow that was crazy, right everyone? Geeze, why did we even do that thing we did? What was that even? So weird!

Anyway, everything is back to the way it was before! Maybe even better! You can all come back now from the various forks and open alternatives you've spent the last 18 months migrating to!
