Gee, I wonder if the Nazi had anything to do with this?

“It doesn’t scale”, meaning the company might have to (shudder) hire people if our business doubles.

It’s odd that despite having been on Lemmy for a year you’ve never made a single news or politics post. The very best way to make sure posts are from sources you approve of is to make posts from sources you approve of.

No. If people stopped posting from every source someone found objectionable there would be zero content on Lemmy.

Someone I knew was hard-core conservative and thought forcing (other people’s) kids to work was a fucking great idea. When asked about the dangers of working in a industrial kitchen or a meat packing plant he said he wasn’t worried about that at all. Insurance companies would never allow it.

He spouted all kinds of other right wing BS that was almost as disturbing. That kind of nutcase is exactly who the fuck thought this would be a good idea.

I was in the process of replacing a very old, inefficient heat pump system in January.

The DOE efficiency rebate page and all information about it was gone from the website days after Trump took office and replaced with positively Orwellian propaganda: “Restoring Energy Dominance. Trump’s Day One Actions will return the Department to Regular Order.”

Downvote me if you must, but idiots like this won’t internalise the lesson until their parents, partners, sons, and daughters die in ICE custody.

You’re a bit optimistic. IMO most of them won’t ever internalize the lesson. Anti-vaxxers interviewed after their child has died have consistently said that they still wouldn’t allow their children to be vaccinated because they, “don’t trust what is put in the vaccines.”

I see interview after interview with Maga voters who are being destroyed by Trump’s policies and tariffs. Every one of them has said they still love Trump and would vote for him again, but they don’t understand how he could hurt them when he’s supposed to be hurting other people.

Verdi and Rey voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election, saying they supported his pledge to bring order to the southern border and crack down on immigrants without legal status.

“But he didn’t say he was going to do this, that he was going to go after people who have been here for a long time,” Rey said. “He said he was going to go after all the criminals who came illegally."

Typical Maga BS - “We voted to hurt other people, but Trump’s not supposed to hurt us.” Enjoy all your winning.

He is proud of being a Nazi. He declared himself one in front of the world. IMO the only reason he’s denying it now is that it’s costing him his only true love - money.

Musk declares himself as a full-on Nazi to the world in in a shockingly offensive way and is now trying for a do-over. The only people who don’t hate Nazis are Nazis.

He doesn’t know what the Declaration of Independence is — something that’s taught all through grade and middle school in the U.S. The odds are he has no idea what that pesky Constitution says, nor does he care.

Good catch. Fixed.

Cue threats by Trump’s flying monkeys to have Jones deported.

Power loss protection on SSDs is an interesting addition I hadn’t come across before.

We live in a very windy area and power blinks are common. A high endurance MicroSD was in use the first time the Pi wouldn’t boot, but I was in town and it was just annoying. It was a big issue when the Pi wouldn’t boot from the SSD while I was out of the country.

We don’t have high bandwidth demands so any decent OpenWRT router works fine and supports both Adguard Home and Wireguard. What I really like about putting WG in particular on the router is that if the router is up, WG is working, and the routers come back up without fail after every power outage. A 2nd Wireguard instance still runs on my Pi but since switching to WG on the router a year ago there hasn’t been a reason to even connect to it.

My problems with the Pi had me looking for other solutions and I ended up with a mini Dell laptop running Debian. (Can’t easily run WG on it due to some software conflicts.) It alleviates the need for a UPS and runs for 6+ hours if the power goes out, rather the minutes provided by my small UPS.

One of these days I’ll find a bogus reason to talk myself into upgrading the router with more powerful hardware. Mikrotik looks like a great option and I’ll take a look at RouterOS. Thanks for the info.

Besides adding a UPS, how do you deal with power failures? Are you somewhere where they’re not much of a problem?

In my experience mini computers don’t handle power failures nearly as well as purpose-built hardware.

After several power failures the SSD on my Raspberry Pi became so corrupted it wouldn’t boot, and I was 250 miles away at the time and lost access to my home network for weeks. Overlay file systems work but are a PITA to maintain. By contrast my routers have never had a problem even with repeated power failures, so instead of relying on the Pi I’ve moved my DNS and Wireguard servers to my router.

I’ve been using DuckDNS on a multiple platforms for a couple of years and it works great. Never had a problem.

Musk wants the content he personally finds objectionable to be moderated. Racist Nazi shit and hateful GQP posts are perfectly fine, just like on X Twitter.

Have had espresso machines for years and can confirm it can be very difficult to find shops that do repairs and have replacement parts. Good luck with the startup.
