Then you’re going to be limited to SMB generally because of windows. If you didn’t need Windows NFS is always the superior choice. But only the pro version of Windows has any NFS support.

Just getting started pretty much any hardware will do. One of the best most accessible ways of doing it is something like a cheap Raspberry Pi computer even two gigabytes of memory is enough to get started. You won’t necessarily need the bigger ones. But generally more tends to be better. Combined with some of the more purpose built OS images for things like open media vault or own cloud. It’s a pretty easy and low bar for entry.

After that it really just depends on your interest, needs, and comfort levels. You could just as easily go into eBay and buy a used $100 E-Waste business Tower. It will give you a bit more swap ability and upgradability where you can add things like 2.5 or 10 gigabit networking if you absolutely need faster. A better method of organizing and mounting storage physically. And a few other amenities. As well as some more options software wise. But if you are really new to this. And you really want to do something a bit more DIY that you control as opposed to something like a Synology Nas. It’s hard to go wrong starting with something like a Raspberry Pi.

Just make sure to keep up on your three two one. Three different copies of your data, on two different types of media, with at least one of them stored off site.

First you need to specify a bit more on what you mean by file server. Are you looking for a network attached storage for home use, or remote use as well? Or are you talking something like a seed box for torrenting Etc. What general software environment will you be working with and what others are you comfortable with.

I am of the opinion that Adam generally makes everything better. And his talk about reigniting community. As an anarchist that resonates intensely. But that video has nothing to do with why no third party groups bother to campaign at all in red states where Republicans are running unopposed. There are no green party candidates for local offices. There are no Democratic or Social Democratic candidates for local offices if we have a Libertarian it’s a right-wing libertarian and there will often worse than the Republican but that’s the closest we ever get to third party out here I think Adam is 100% on the right track for what Democrats need to do. But what third parties need to do is actually run for local and State office. As well as the stuff that Adam spoke of.

100% it wasn’t my intention to imply otherwise. Just to point out that celebrities are still just people and people have pretty dark sides oftentimes. So many people get lulled into traps thinking that someone famous or well known is safe. They’re just like any of the rest of us.

No one should ever be put on a pedestal. We all have our demons. Though many of them are semi innocent or only hurt ourselves. It still sad to hear another celebrity abused their celebrity.

But most third parties aren’t oriented to winning or holding office. Honestly if you look at the rhetoric of lots of them they seem to be more oriented towards keeping Democrats out. I don’t vote for democrats. I vote against Republicans. But every time I go vote in local elections. There are many many offices I leave blank. Because Republicans are running unopposed. I’ve said many times I would love to see third parties running for these offices that Democrats aren’t concerned about. But they don’t seem to be concerned about those in all but one or two states. And even those are kind of iffy.

Theoretically, not really. Realistically, no not at all. My understanding, being corporately backed. They want every server to host everything. So that they theoretically have access to everything to datamine and advertise on. In the fediverse. You can see and interact with all the content. But your server doesn’t aggregate it unless you interact. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Basically what this means, is that you could spin up and host your mastodon or Lemmy server on an SBC laying in a drawer spare. Somewhat like Action Retro did with bitbang.social. If you want to run a bsky server. Theoretically you can. You will just need quite a lot of storage, bandwidth, and server hardware. Activity Pub is decentralized. The AT protocol technically can be decentralized in a way. But not really.

There are 215 Democrats currently serving in the house. The 45 that voted with Republicans don’t even make up a quarter let alone 2/3.

I think I remember hearing about a bunch of Linux rivals players getting caught up in bans recently. BUT I also heard the company apologized, stated it was a mistake and reinstated them all. Which was sad to see happen but an extremely good sign that they wanted those players.

Different branches and different versions. Sometimes there are regressions between new versions. Sometimes the fixes are pushed in certain branches and not others. They are generally provided for stability and compatibilities sake. If you find a version that works for your particular game. You should be able to keep it around and run your game safe and stable unless something on the game gets updated. But outside that you should probably try to run with whatever the latest stable is.

The US certainly isn’t good on that front. But they’re nowhere near the mastery of it as Russia, Mainland Taiwan, or other Korea.

Hard to say what the arc of their careers would have been. But it absolutely cut the band’s career short. They did go on to be moderately successful individually at least IIRC. I hate most country music of the last 30 to 40 years. They’re absolutely one of the few outside Johnny, Dolly, and Willie I respect.

Indeed. That was over 20 years ago. But Republicans were already master hypocrites back then.

Freedom fries have entered the chat

40 years ago that excuse would have tenuously worked. But if you never learn. Never do better. Constantly repeating the same bad actions. At some point the blame has to go to you. We are here.

Make no mistake, many of them are 100% intellectually impaired. We know this for a fact. Lead in fuel and lead in paint etc. Absolutely had an impact. Causing mental impairment and violent behavior. To what extent is still a valid question.

That will absolutely be their first course of action. The problem with it being. They are near pricing themselves out of the market on many things as is. Quite a lot of inflation has been because of Market control and collusion. Not actual increase in costs. Consumers are struggling currently. Pushing at any harder very likely could cause collapse. Not that many oligarchs won’t. They’re that out of touch.

Yes and no. There’s going to be thousands of agriculture etc jobs opening up under him. The problem is there won’t be willing or qualified applicants.

Which will at once increase demand for labor. Thus increasing costs for oligarchs. But at the same time throw a monkey wrench into basic supply chains. Causing shortages and crises. He’s literally going to hurt everyone. But we all knew that.

This doesn’t expose anything new. We’ve known this for decades. If they have a problem with this sort of behavior. They need to not do business with brutal, oppressive systems and government like China. But of course it won’t stop them in the long run. Like it never stopped western nations from trying to benefit from the exploitation either.

Wealthy, insulated fashys think they have no use for the truth. That it’s just an expense. And the people at large have not stepped up to correct them.

To be fair. Confronting people about their religion doesn’t usually go well.
