This is all too common for a company of this size. Bigger doesn’t mean better.

Yup. Just depends on how strongly you hold your principles.

Politely decline. If it’s a firm requirement, look for a new job.

Then why do they have a lock on their phone? Their house? Why do they wear pants? They already won’t give their phone number or email address to anyone who asks. They already practice privacy.

It’s not about having something to hide, it’s about protecting what you share against misuse. Think identity theft.

The point of precheck is to identify you. If you don’t want that, don’t sign up.

Intel’s current corporate nonsense doesn’t affect the quality of existing products. They will continue to be supported under Linux and BSD for a long time.

Do you want x86-64 (amd64) or arm64? Those are two very different things.

Devuan supports arm64.

Or, relax your SBC restriction and get a mini-pc board like a NUC or N100, or similar embedded system. Even an HDMI stick PC.

So my 3d gacha games run exceptionally smoothly

Download all your Google account data and find out.

The NSA certainly does keep a copy regardless.

If you pass a whole raw disk, not virtualized, then TrueNAS should not complain. I don’t know if you can do that in proxmox, I haven’t tried.

Personally I’d get rid of TrueNAS. Even if docker is down, the VM with the data is still up and accessible over anything running on the VM, like scp via ssh.

Nobody reads the articles.

You have to click through the reddit link to find the “original”, which is a perplexity AI generated “article”. It’s all AI slop.

Fox News?

Or really any media that gives a warped view of reality. Movies glorifying drug use, eating disorders, stuff like that. I’m sure you’ve heard about people getting hurt from tiktok “challenges”. Kids are fucking stupid.

Windows and Linux can mount ISOs without additional software. Macs can mount DMGs.

Either way, you could preload that software before the file.

Sounds like monkeys and typewriters.

Even with the popular ones, there’s a risk of unrecoverable loss. They don’t test your backups, so if there’s undetected corruption, they may not be restorable.

An untested backup is worth nothing.

I suppose “task” would be more accurate.

Memtest? Boot a live image and stress test each component?

I don’t think it’s overheating, usually that presents as throttling followed by a thermal protection power off.

What do you mean “backfire”? Hurting the US is his goal

Well it’s not open source that I see, so you’ll be doing significant development to match it. There are probably place clones that you can use as a start, then tie in OSM. But that’s far easier said than done.
