Theoretically, no.

In reality, possibly/yes!

What do you have?

That’s not a civil war though, that’s stoichastic terrorism at least and militia violence at most. I, uh, was just in a disaster in the us where militias were said to have been run off by the national guard and local law enforcement.

It’s still scary, but it’s not civil war.

To give you an idea of how common what you’re describing used to be, when 9/11 happened people who hadn’t already gotten the word from the federal government were blaming it on domestic terrorist organizations and individuals. We had just come off of a decade of federal law enforcement torching Waco, sniping ruby ridge, package bombs, federal building bombs (including wtc!) and school shootings there at the end.

The harmless nut job was such a common idea that the Feds had to really struggle against it when they bungled Waco and ruby ridge.

There’s been thirty years of domestic counter terror training to deal with just this type of situation. Fifty if you count the bender mienhoff group in Europe as the start.

You may see Waco 2.0 but you won’t see a civil war.

No and you should not listen to people who think it could.

A civil war is large scale armed conflict between groups vying for the levers of power. In the case of the American civil war it was over slavery and came to war because there was no mechanism to integrate the south’s elites into the power structures of the north’s or vice versa and the material bases of those two groups power structures were in opposition.

What two groups would fight an American civil war nowadays? Democrats and republicans? They serve the same masters. We are witnessing propaganda bent to the ends of integrating members of one group into another.

Separatist militias? Not only would that not be a civil war, we saw how the fbi handled them in the 90s.

Corporations? Why would they do that? Government already does the unprofitable things they want and does them how they want them.

Separatist states? It’s against the economic interests of the very people who would make up the elite class of the new nation of Texas to submit their borders to taxes and tariffs.

Workers? That’s a revolution, not a civil war.

If someone wants you to fear modern civil war they’re trying to control you.

If someone makes art about a modern civil war they’re trying to tell you about something else on the sly, like with zombies.

I’m glad you got it sorted with dd.

One thing people don’t often realize about dd is that it copies all the data from one drive to the other, including uuids that were written when the old drives filesystem were created.

For that reason it excels at cloning one’s boot disk, because when the old drive gets removed from the pc, the clone drives os says at some point during the boot process “okay, let’s mount the filesystem with uuid ABC123 at /“ and it works.

Dd is also not the best tool for cloning disk that you intend to leave hooked up because if you do it’ll put the poor host os in a “I’m seein’ double here, four spidermen!” Type situation.

Yeah, there’s a baseline of network stack understanding that you gotta have in order to use some of the tools, even Theo es that are supposed to make it easier.

What don’t you get? Maybe I can point you in the right direction.

Either pay for an vpn and clear your cache and cookies constantly or pay directly to the advertisers.

Freedom isn’t free, there’s a hefty fuckin fee.

If you don’t kick in your buck-o-5 who will?

For raid: that’s how raid and any kind of real time parity schemes like zfs work. You make the arrangement of devices first and then put the filesystem on them.

For stuff like snapraid where parity isn’t distributed across all devices you can just add it to a jbod like you want.

Welcome to Linux, everything is a permissions error. Su <username>, touch, the facl tools and namei are your first line of defense!

Most all fans are a standard size and connector type. Sizes are in mm on a side (of the square housing), connectors are in number of pins. If you can’t look up the fan size(80, 140, etc) and connector type (3-pin, 4 pin), next time you take the unit apart measure the fan with a ruler and count the pins on its connector.

Then you know what quieter one to buy.

E: there’s a Reddit thread where ppl say the fan is 92mm and the motherboard supports 4-pin but only has two installed. That means that despite the device supporting 4-pin fan speed control they only installed enough pins to run the fan at full blast, so even the quietest fan ever would be only as quiet as if it were running wide open. You can pop in a 4-pin header if you’re handy with a soldering iron or you can use a usb to 4-pin dongle to attach a 4-pin fan.

If you want even more you can populate an additional header on the motherboard and use this 3d printed 120mm fan holder with it.

Good luck!

Not really.

Even with lvm/sub volumes the benefit is that you could ostensibly keep one home directory between two different distributions you switch booting between. The better solution there would be to have a rsync backup and sync it after booting or shutting down or periodically because then you have a backup at least.

For distro hopping it’s not that great because who’s to say you’re getting the “good” experience with some random new distro when it overrides its defaults meant to be nicey-nice with some other stuff from ~/.gnome/gtk2/gtk3/desktop/widgets/clock/fonts/ttf/arial?

Just back your stuff up, rsync selectively from that backup and use the same filesystem for home as you do for /.

It’s the same thing as asking if you should put a lift in your homes attached garage. If you have to ask if it’s good idea and not just cool, then the answer is no.

I always forget what subset of bins come on the livecd, does it do lsblk?

Maybe industry specific stuff like photoshop or something.

Web browsers and normal stuff will keep on trucking as long as the os has a valid root certificate.

So are you gonna save yourself some disgust and stop replying?

Oh this is entirely different than soldering the ram to the motherboard (which is really common on pc laptops now too, it’s harder to find one with sockets now than it’s ever been!).

The ram is inside the cpu. The processor isn’t “just” a cpu (although you can’t call even the old pentium “just” a cpu, they do so much nowadays!), it’s got the video card, bus controllers, ram and all kinds of other stuff built into that one IC!

It’s a SoC, System on a Chip, just like the processors that run phones and tablets and stuff.

Not too disgusted to stop replying derisively without substance I see.

Do you realize that you started this exchange by throwing around accusations of bad faith and are now dismissing my replies to your questions and posting “lol”?

What’s up with that, was it a weird coincidence or what?

I never said I would stop if de la Cruz wins. A de la Cruz win is part of the possibilities encompassed by the statement “no matter what happens in November”.

It really seems like you’re going out of your way to read my responses in the most negative light possible and just ignoring things I say that go against that reading.

If you go the cheap m1 route, get the most ram you can find in it. The m series have ram built into the chip, so you can’t upgrade it later.

Also if the previous owner says it’s getting slow then nuke the ssd with the dd command after you have confirmed ownership is transferred. You’ll have a longer process to reinstall the os from first principles but it’ll fix slowness from the ssds old blocks having never been rewritten.

I didn’t complain when trump won. I got out and organized. I was so active at that time I was even in government (albeit in a lowly local position). None of that stopped when Biden won and no matter what happens in November it’s not gonna stop.

He burned to death in an Israeli strike on a hospital. Who else should be blamed in the story about the effect and meaning of his tragic killing? What particular responsible party should be named in the headline of that story?

Maybe not as expensive as you think. The classic getting into the mac game choice is the 2012 mbp 12”, which can run a supported macos with opencore legacy patcher and costs <$200 with 16gb ram and an ssd.

The next best starter option is probably to make the big long leap to a first gen m1 air which can be had for ~$400 if you keep your eyes open.

Those are both expensive to me lol, but not the multiple thousands for a new computer.

The alternative route I took is maintaining a mac computer for when I need to “be normal”.

The “neutral language” you’re describing is called passive voice. It’s used to avoid saying who performed the actions in question and that is a form of bias.

In the last few years, newspapers selective use of passive voice - cloaked as “neutral language” - to shield groups or organizations they’re sympathetic to from police to the idf has come under fire because people recognize it as deflecting blame from the powerful and casting the injustice and violence of those in power as unavoidable tragedy.

He just burned to death, isn’t that sad? Alexa play despacito.
