Fullmetal Alchemist was awesome. It gets really intense and pretty graphic. I haven’t seen it in over a decade but might be time for a rewatch!

Thanks!

Please quote what you’re referring to. I read https://archive.ph/Cq2Mo before making my comment, and then again after reading yours, and still am not seeing anything related. They say:

Potential settlement terms were not discussed in court.

And the word “framework” is not in the article.

The order was temporary until it went to the supreme court. The SC ruled in favor of Illinois, making the injunction permanent. I don’t understand negotiating after losing the case. AFAIK you settle “before” getting a ruling, not after losing.

I don’t understand, what is there to settle? They lost. Fuck off. I guess we’ll find out January 28th what bullshit they are peddling.

ICE travels in packs for that reason. They also avoid dense areas to keep the numbers on their side. I generally agree with you, but there’s a lot of nuance like who is actually present at these confrontations. A lot of times is the suburbs and there’s really not enough people around to have an effective people defense.

Can someone get this man a safe space?! Preferably in a state prison.

The proposed wealth tax is a one time tax, not annual. For someone with over a billion dollars, they can live wherever they want to already. They are in California for particular reasons – spouse, family, friends, businesses located in California. They will not go anywhere. And if they do, then be gone. That also means not “pretending” to live somewhere else while being present in California for 364 days.

The idea that we only tax annually is also an absurd notion. Society needs to progress our taxation structure, not fear the 0.0003%.

ICE just asking for that 🎯.

Sorry, I’m not buying that race to the bottom mentality. The proposed law includes part-time residence because we know billionaires aren’t just going to stop living in California, even if they pay suits to play shell games and make it seem like they’ve left on paper. The state should exhaustively audit the hell out of them. Zuckerberg himself has spent hundreds of millions buying property. Good luck moving that out of the state.

It’s not a terrible idea, it just isn’t sufficient. A lot of reforms gets pushed through states first before going national (gay marriage, marijuana, healthcare, etc.). Billionaire wealth tax in California is exactly what we need as a first step.

And 100% of his zionist voters are somehow blind to the hypocrisy. I wonder if they see the same piece of shit that I see when they see themselves in a mirror.

I’ve been on the losing side of politics more than I’d hope… but how can any American vote for a Republican? It’s just painful to the mind. I feel like you can just point to garbage legislation like this, and everyone should immediately know to vote never vote Republican ever again. Ugh…

For a Homelab, I cannot imagine going with anything other than older used SFF boxes for my router. I’ve been running PfSense and then OPNSense on them for over a decade.

[Mini PC] Very DIY, would feel afraid of misconfiguring the device and exposing myself to security issues

The risk is there for every router software, and the form factor won’t change that. The OPNSense software is pretty solid and the tutorials are less likely to lead you astray. You will learn a lot with a deep dive on OPNSense. So I’d say just go for the used hardware. The nice thing is your entire OPNSense config is a single file making it easy to back up and restore. If the hardware it craps out on you in 5 years, you take your OPNSense config (regularly back it up with one of the plugins) and a new mini PC and you are running again.

A general PC will crush most routing tasks. The only concern is encryption but anything newish should be fine. Multi gig connections and 10G inner network has been great on my Optiplex.

2. Does anybody have any suggestions for PoE capable switches and access points that play nicely with OPNSense - I’ve been considering MicroTik but I’m not entirely sure what to look for.

They should all be fine. OPNSense is your router and firewall, and IMO it doesn’t really influence my downstream hardware choices (switches, APs, etc.).

Not sure how the used market is in UK. Last year I decided to go 10G so bought a used Brocade ICX 7250 48x PoE+ RJ45 8x 1/10 GbE SFP+ Gigabit Switch for $78 on ebay. Its been so nice! 48x PoE ports and 6x 10G ports. It takes a detailed walkthrough and some head scratching to get it running well so I wouldn’t really recommend it specifically without a bit of experience. But it is easily the best bang for your buck. Throw in 10G SFP+ PCIE module into all your important machines and use passthrough DACs and you’ve got a flexible 10G setup for $200-$300.

I am not familiar with FritzBox so not sure how that changes the calculus.

The AI part is that the drug riddled CEO asked AI leading questions. The AI wholeheartedly agreed the company should speed run late stage capitalism. What more confirmation is needed that AI is the future?

It also says it “made the donation with no expectations of receiving anything in return.”

Why are there no reported winks and nudges? What a ridiculous premise, that a company squeezing workers for things as little as bathroom breaks, doesn’t have any expectations from a massive donation to the president. The bare minimum of a fucking government is no quid pro quos. Instead, idiot Americans pick the guy who ghost wrote Art of the Steal.

Thanks! Adding those to my list.

Sure, but it’s also proven to be more cost effective to just manipulate people and shift their costs. Some moron was arguing against California’s billionaire wealth tax bill because billionaires might have “liquidity problems” lmfao.

I think I might write this fellow a strongly worded letter.
