Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm

Even for simple mirroring there’s an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.

as long as your a minor enough criminal for no one with resources to bother tracking you down using the public data on the chain

It’s all the bad idea of regular digital elections, with the additional stupid of being more public, complex and wasteful

Only the NFTs didn’t do anything of the kind, unless backed up by actual legal contracts in which case the NFT was pointless, and you could just have had the legal contracts

The only reason it had a brief flash in the pan was that it was an attractive grift for speculators betting there were greater fools, and when the fools ran out so did the NFTs

The blockchain is always “gonna become crucial” in lots of things, depending on whatever looks popular at the moment, yet it never does because it is obviously a bad idea.

It’s a grift, and if you’re not an active grifter, you are the mark

You get pretty far with just clone, pull, add, commit, push

Not voting for Harris was indirect support for worse genocide. Choosing to stay on the couch is still a choice, and this time that choice gave us Trump

Yeah, let’s blame the people actually supporting Harris for her loss. That’s a great idea. Let’s all just keep falling for russian psyops or stay quiet to not “divide” us again

Great plan

Well, enjoy your new president then

Lovely inversion of responsibility there…

So what do you do when people keep screaming about Genocide Joe? Ignore them and hope they go away?

Two weeks is pretty fast to go “let bygones be bygones” for people making such an obviously bad choice. We’re dealing with extremely dense people here who had months to figure this out and still made the obviously wrong choice. It’s gonna take some repetition for it to register.

I say we keep talking about it at least until after there is another democratic election in the US, or talking about it becomes illegal in open forums in the US.

There are some issues with BMI, at least for individuals, but it’s pretty OK for populations.

By BMI alone it could be possible that they US now has 3/4 really successful body builders, but I imagine we’d have noticed

It’s also probably less bad for individuals than people make it out to be. People have a warped sense of what is a healthy weight nowadays and shooting the messenger is easier than looking into the message.

Tell me more about this plan that has now failed. If it has failed, clearly the plan isn’t for future change, but change in this election? If it has failed, clearly you didn’t want the current outcome?

I’m struggling to see what success would have been

I guess kudos for staying on your sinking ship long after the rats have left. You’re at least consistent

If the left would rather have Trump than a centrist Harris government, the left deserves blame

Two things can be bad.

The Democrats clearly didn’t figure out how to win in the reality we have, with the voters we have. They should definitely figure out what they could have done better.

The people who didn’t vote for Harris deserve all shame they can get. It was not a hard choice. It shouldn’t have been even close.

Right, which is why people are angry at the people who couldn’t even go vote for Harris

On this platform specifically we’ve had months of smug people claiming to make the moral choice of directly or indirectly supporting the clearly worse choice. It’s far too early to just let that slide.

If we in 100 years still sometimes talk about the early days of the fediverse where a bunch of morons fell for astroturfing, that’s kind of a good outcome.

If they’re real people they should feel bad.

For the not so real people, we should figure out how a distibuted system can deal with a concerted astroturfing operation.

I think this will be easy to hire for; imagine the damage you can do to competition, or the low cost regulatory capture you can achieve, by just getting one clever manipulator near this not too bright narcissist
