The immediate problem I see is that the very people these women are protesting against are the same assholes who think women are property that they can take any time they want. How is this not going to increase the number of rapes already occurring?

Yeah I figured there would be multiple answers for you. Just keep in mind that you DO want to get it fixed at some point to use the disk id instead of the local device name. That will allow you to change hardware or move the whole array to another computer.

Are you sure about that? Ever hear about this supposed predictable network names in recent linux versions? Yeah those can change too. I was trying to set up a new firewall with two internal NICs plus a 4-port card, and they kept moving around. I finally figured out that if I cold-booted the NICs would come up in one order, and if I warm-booted they would come up in a completely different order (like the ports on the card would reverse which order they were detected). This was completely the fault of systemd because when I installed an older linux and used udev to map the ports, it worked exactly as predicted. These days I trust nothing.

OP – if your array is in good condition (and it looks like it is) you have an option to replace drives one by one, but this will take some time (probably over a period of days). The idea is to remove a disk from the pool by its old name, then re-add the disk under the corrected name, wait for the pool to rebuild, then do the process again with the next drive. Double-check, but I think this is the proper procedure…

zpool offline poolname /dev/nvme1n1p1

zpool replace poolname /dev/nvme1n1p1 /dev/disk/by-id/drivename

Check zpool status to confirm when the drive is done rebuilding under the new name, then move on to the next drive. This is the process I use when replacing a failed drive in a pool, and since that one drive is technically in a failed state right now, this same process should work for you to transfer over to the safe names. Keep in mind that this will probably put a lot of strain on your drives since the contents have to be rebuilt (although there is a small possibility zfs may recognize the drive contents and just start working immediately?), so be prepared in case a drive does actually fail during the process.

That is definitely true of zfs as well. In fact I have never seen a guide which suggests anything other than using the names found under /dev/disk/by-id/ or /dev/disk/by-id/uuid and that is to prevent this very problem. If the proper convention is used then you can plug the drives in through any available interface, in any order, and zfs will easily re-assemble the pool at boot.

So now this begs the question… is proxmox using some insane configuration to create drive clusters using the name they happen to boot up with???

I’m curious, what part of that do you think will be good for anyone who isn’t a rich which male?

I agree with the wait-and-see approach, but I also know how much damage he did the first time around even without a lot of support. And the amazing thing is that people still think the economy was better under Trump (who barely managed to coast on Obama’s success) than it has been under Biden (who managed to turn around a global economic disaster after COVID). This time it’s all going to be on Trump, and we’re all going to suffer from it.

Unfortunately Trump’s stated plan is to boot out everyone who won’t kiss his ass, shut down “non-essential” services like the education department or national weather service, put someone in control of healthcare who believes all vaccinations need to be immediately banned, and pass national laws against women’s reproductive health care despite his claims of letting each State handle their own business. And yes, on his own he could only do so much, but the Republican party also gained more seats in both houses of representatives which means it will be easier to steamroll through anything he wants. So yeah, we have many many good reasons to be worried.

One promising item I found are some json files from Reuters…

This one provides info on the candidates and the key for state ID’s: https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/metadata.json

This one seems like it will provide the ballot counts(0) and possibly any declared winners(1): https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/summary-votes/president.json

Of course I won’t know anything for sure until tomorrow evening when states start releasing their counts, but I went ahead and wrote up some code to use the files. It’s something at least, and the Reuters data should be fairly timely. I hope to play around with the collected info in real time, then maybe next election I can re-use the same code.

Yeah I found the same on the AP data. I also found that reddit thread, but haven’t been able to find a valid URL for this year’s election. Maybe they don’t make it available until voting starts?

Hmm good idea, I’ll take a look into that!

Seriously. If they wanted to marry a piece of property, I hear Trump’s garbage truck is available.

Wow, the comments in that article pretty much sum up the snowflake dynamic of conservatives. Not telling your husband who you voted for violates the sanctity of marriage? Maybe if you weren’t such a putz and actually listened to the reasons why no woman anywhere should be voting for Trump, your wife wouldn’t need to hide it from you. Maybe if you weren’t such a precious snowflake who was likely to be set off in a rage by the idea that a woman could have a valid reason for casting a vote that wasn’t centered around your manhood somehow being threatened by the idea of voting for a female president, your wife wouldn’t have to hide her vote from you.

This election isn’t about red vs. blue, it’s about women literally dying because of the draconian laws conservatives are passing under the guise of “anti-abortion”. There’s nothing hypothetical about this, it’s already happening, and giving Trump and Vance any ground to move forward with Project 2025 is going to make it so much worse.

I think I get the idea. It’s bleak and you feel like there’s nothing you can do to change what’s happening. I’m sorry you feel that way and maybe at some point things will change for the better. That’s how I keep pushing forward, just looking forward to what might be in the future. During the Obama administration it felt like we were actually becoming better as a nation, more accepting of others and their differences, more willing to reach out to our neighbors. The only way I see things starting to get better again is to squash this notion that it’s somehow ok to polarize the whole nation to hate each other, and maybe then we’ll be able to start trying to help others again. Hope keeps us going.

I have to ask then, what are your feelings on Trump and Vance’s comments that they want to deport everyone who isn’t blatantly white, regardless of their citizenship status? I understand your frustration with the US Government, and this has been a long-standing issue across both parties to support Israel at all costs when we get pretty much nothing in return, but the Trump party is chomping at the bit to create a white nationalist country and put everyone else in internment camps. If you lose all of your rights as a citizen, how would you be of any help to the Arab and Muslim nations then?

I’m a white guy, the only way Trump’s administration is going to impact me is by the massive increase in cost of everything since his only concept of an economic plan is to tariff everything, but I’m still scared of what he’s threatening to do to everyone else. If we keep him out of office then maybe nothing changes or maybe we have a chance to try and fix things, and that’s the best-case scenario that I can see right now.

Here’s a hot take… maybe stranding farmers in their fields for weeks at a time while the crops were dying had a negative impact on your customer loyalty. Your insistence that a “certified tech” is required to replace that $5 part, and an overall lack in any available techs to do the work, has made people search elsewhere for their purchases.

“For only $1000 in bitcoin we will decrypt your files until the next time we fsck you over.”

OK cool, now if only you had a ship to go get the asteroid so you could make a ship. My last point still stands though, if it were really that easy…

Raw material, I would imagine. I don’t remember exactly how replicators work in the Star Trek universe, but they either rely on energy, a raw base material, or both. You can’t create something out of nothing so you would need a significant supply chain to produce your fleet.

If it were that easy, every rogue organization in the galaxy would have already done it before you.

One can hope, but I suspect nobody will be announcing a victor on Tuesday night.
