there are few things more terrifying than owing money to the Vietnamese.

some of them might even be Lemmy users…

and for that reason alone tourists have gone missing.

the cartel cares about its bottom line, funneling wealth away from American pockets to grow the cartel in order to…you guessed it, funnel more money out of American pockets.

why? three reasons. money for power, power for control.

the cartels wouldn’t even be a thing if it weren’t for Regan. I hope that fucking bigot rots eternal horrors for the truly depraved bullshit he unleashed on the world.

your argument is just like the racist douchebags that argue “all lives matter” when “black lives matter”.

the case in this point is about a man raping a woman so, of course, the protests are about male sexual aggression.

yes, people in general are trash and can be horrible to other people.

yes, I’m calling you out for driving a what-about-wedge into the thread.

yes, I would do the same thing to someone who would drive the same wedge if this case was about a woman raping a man.

just because you can say it, doesn’t mean you should say it. there’s a time and place and all you do by whining about it here is desensitize people against female sexual aggression.

want to make a difference? talk about the 1 out of 6 woman that are victims of rape. or how about the fact that 54% of the victims are between the ages of 18-34. let’s not forget that a rape occurs every 68 seconds(4 victims were raped in the time it took me to write this whole comment).

my first 1tb drive was Seagate.

after a firmware update bricked it I swore off Seagate for life.

I would rather eat a pound of my own shit before I’ll use a Seagate ever again.

I’ve bought used SAS drives from ebay. was running them in a raid10 until about a month ago when I retired the server.

ran for about 5 years on them no problems.

I do agree, there are risks buying any tech used, especially for servers.

could be, not my experience, but that’s only perception.

that could also be because less people are being tested as a result of medical burnout, faculty reductions, or other more lethal illnesses taking it’s place.

just because it’s declining generally doesn’t mean it’s actually going away.

possibly leukemia and what you were seeing is the effects of treatment…

fuck all cancer.

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

I worked with someone who worked in intelligence for 30-ish years. from discussions they and I had you’re absolutely spot on. in-fact they warned me that once things in Israel begin to heat up prepare for a war to accelerate with Russia.

this new development isn’t surprising and I’m sure there are already gears in motion to reduce impacts on the election.

it’s funny because it’s clearly the Iranian government’s goal to influence the American election because it’s all they’ve been doing for the past six months.

this can only mean one thing, the axis of power that is attempting to drag the west into a war does not want Harris in office. this only makes me vote for her even more.

“I’m rubber, you’re glue. what you do bounces off me and sticks to you.”

that’s basically what he said.

what a desperate little bitch. he can’t win against a war with a well stocked and trained army so now he has to resort to threats he can barely deliver on.

your threats are 1 out of 6 stars you basic bitch.

flour and water paste should work pretty well as long as there’s no wax or tape to block the paper bonding.

in your defense Amazon would spray their boxes with poison if it didn’t add any extra costs.

PSA: Companies couldn’t give a shit about you or your packages. the sooner you realize that, the sooner you’ll realize how insignificant you are in the world.

I would recommend it. Speaking from personal experience, I trusted my VPN connection to remain on and self-heal. Thinking that cost me a strike against my ISP.

Now I know for a fact that if anything goes wrong with the VPN connection, all the containers that need it will need to restart before they have connectivity again and that can only happen after the VPN container restarts and passes healthcheck.

IMO this is the best OS way, but without nix it’s a pita to maintain through restores/rebuilds. personally I never fully comprehended how to properly configure iptables/routes (I did try though, so nobody can blame me lol).

however, a major benefit to using a contained VPN or gluetun is that you can be selective on what apps use the VPN.

I host 12 other containers (with nas mounts) on the same host outside of the three that need to use a VPN, so this is why the solution I described works for me. and should I ever need to use routes for more advanced network filtering I still have it available without adding the complexity of splitting normal traffic vs VPN traffic.

I’ll ask this question because it might be something you didn’t think of.

What happens to your network connection if the VPN fails? will it continue to connect without a VPN?

I had a similar case of that happening, and ended up causing me to get some shame mail from my ISP.

now I run my VPN inside docker, and any containers that need access to it are configured as network slaves to it. VPN goes down? container reboots, all the others reboot after connection is restored, but will have no connection while it’s down.

it’s all in a well designed system of healthchecks and container configuration.
