No one wants the ugliness of a war over NK, but everyone wants their natural resources, estimated to be one of the largest deposit of minerals in the world.

And this goes back to the Cold War, which goes back to WWII, and the politics of the president and military commanders, specifically MacArthur, who wanted to continue north and take North Korea decisively to keep the Soviet Union and China from controlling it before it could be reinforced by Chinese soldiers.

At the time, North Korean soldiers were outnumbered by UN forces 3:1, with far more tanks, etc than NK had.

The UN waffled, and by the time they decided Korea should be reunified, China had shipped in nearly 300,000 troops, and an unknown amount of matériel.

Fuck the UN. It’s their fault this is still going on.

The thing is that with progressive bifocals, and the right size lense, this is rarely an issue, as you choose the focus you need by simply moving your eyes and head. When setup properly I rarely need to move my head at all for normal day-to-day stuff, as we naturally put what we’re viewing in the center of our vision.

For example, when looking far, we tend to look upward more, so naturally use the upper portion of a lense. When on a computer or reading, we tend to look downward. Driving is a great example, we look forward and up while driving, down to see the dash, and progressives cover that with no problem.

The only time I run into “problems” is when doing really close work for an extended period, like stuff inches from my face. But for those times, I just switch to readers only while I’m doing that work. These glasses could maybe work there.

Plus not having to conform to .999 uptimes makes a huge difference.

They have images for all sorts of devices, and for virtualization platforms (I run mine in VMware).

I ran a different one once before (built a Linux VM, installed Pi), this one was much easier, and it just works.

Oh, Syncthing? It could definitely do this, I’ve had it happen.

Once files are deleted, ST will have the deletion in it’s database. You can recreate the files all you want, ST is going to delete them.

Progress will eventually happen. Choosing to place progress first risks enabling smaller groups to concentrate power.

Is the SMB share set read-only?

This is a strange one.

Lol. I feel your pain.

I setup a 2.5TB RAID box in 2011, thought it was going to last a while.

Now my server has a single 8TB data drive, my NAS is 7TB, and I have 2 4TB drives and everything is replicated between them.

Now I need to build another NAS as all this stuff is aging.

Go get em!

Why not make it yourself? At least the start of it.

I’m curious to hear critique from people with more experience than me. Off the cuff I see a lot of risk here, but that’s just gut reaction. Maybe some of the ideas you’ve posted would lead to valid security validation, but that’s a major concern.

To help address the security concerns, I think a breakdown of how the script works/functions would be crucial, not just the script being vetted by someone we don’t know.

The reality is most students are trying to simply submit a project the teacher will accept and grade well while not killing themselves doing it since they have other classes they have to pass.

If you want to change this, the entire post-secondary system would have to change.

I’ve had the opposite experience with Mikrotik.

I really wanted to like it, but (I say this as a former Cisco instructor) their approach to UI and documentation is terrible (the docs don’t tell you what’s what, just tell you how to setup a specific config, without explaining what they’re doing or why, even worse, they start numbering their eth interfaces from 1 - it took me a while to figure this out).

Worse, it was unstable as hell. I setup one just as a test, with one laptop connected via ethernet. Every couple days I wouldn’t be able to even ping the laptop - I’d have to reboot the router, manually, since it had become unresponsive.

This with a simple config (just eth2 is LAN, eth1 is external), and no rules.

It may have been a faulty unit, but as a consumer I can’t risk assuming this, especially given the very poor docs and clumsy UI/config approach - it all indicates this is a very immature product, definitely not something I’d recommend to a newbie.

I hope they can really improve - the form factor is excellent, the price point is unbeatable, the capabilites of the hardware are extensive.

port scanning is not authorized traffic

Hahahahahaha

And?

50TB?

Dang, thought I was doing well at about 5TB,haha

Molly’s are my favorite for drywall. They distribute the load well, and don’t move once in place.

I don’t like those “new” plastic screw-in anchors for drywall. They do work well, but they make as big a hole as molly, without the stability.

And these are the wrong ones for any kind of drywall, which is like 97.2% of homes in the US. Even brick often has drywall or plaster on the interior now.

They work well in hard materials, like brick, concrete, etc.

I have never once (unintentionally) superheated water in a microwave, and I’ve been using them since about 1980 (and God knows we were idiots with them back then).

It just doesn’t happen - there are too many imperfections in our containers, and too many minerals for it to happen much.

I’ve experimented many times, and the reality is you have to work at superheating water in a microwave.

For me, it’s taken things like a brand new Pyrex measuring cup (glass), and filtered water. I can do it with other stuff, but I’ve had to boil/cool it multiple times, something that isn’t really going to happen.

But one more thing to own, store, manage, for a little convenience.

I can boil 2 cups of water in the microwave in 5 minutes. Or 4. Takes about the same amount of time.
