I took delivery of 28 TB of spinning hardness today. Nothing gets my watery sap rising more than quality storage these days.

oh totally, I have yet to see a compelling reason to move off my hotrodded X58 setup; 48G of RAM, nvme boot drive, 1080ti, it does what I need
Nice setup. My daily driver is still an i7 4770K, 16GB RAM, 1080ti. i5 3570k, 16gb, several ssds and a 1080ti. runs my valve index fine (for the most part). but its time for a dedicated vr build soon. |

... but treehuggers and such arent really known for thinking things through.
and other humans are known for thinking things through? errr. ok fair point. unfortunately. |

Plastic bags were never meant to be used as a single use product, human laziness has brought us to where we are currently, at the time of the invention, plastic bags were thought of as such that they could save the world, (since paper bags needed wood aka trees needed to be cut), and were much stronger and durable, making them reusable, but nahh why would you reuse a plastic bag when you could just throw it away and buy a new one for 5 cents right?
no one says they cant be reused for other stuff (i do and so do most all peeps i know.. after all they are pretty handy). just dont bring a dirty used one into the place i buy my food please. and of course dispose of them properly. so for packing and carrying my food? pristine new ones only. btw its ecologically cleaner and less wasteful of raw materials (includes energy and chemicals needed) to make single use plastic bags than to make recyclable ones. that includes paper bags too i believe. if i find the link ill post it. |

Cities are lockdown and if it continues for another month, looting and killing will be another problem.
Yes, the level of crime is growing, because many people do not have stocks of money, and if they are left without work, they often have the choice between starving to death or committing a crime to buy corny food. And only the help of the government, primarily food, can help with this. At the same time, both the manufacturers of the products and the people themselves are in the plus. logistics is the problem. food is rotting on docks, on farms, and other places where they cant realistically get to where the starving people are. so milk is dumped, crops plowed over. food animals euthanized. etc. unreal. this is what "just in time" logistics does if the slightest thing goes wrong. disaster. back up plans? you mean plans that cost MONEY just to save people from starvation? lives arent worth it when mamon is your god. |

tree huggers must be going ballistic here. after fighting seemingly forever to ban single use plastic bags in favor of those reusable recycled ones (you know the reusable ones people put on their filth infested floors/counters and such at home, then bring back to plunk on a supermarket checkout) they have now banned those disgusting germ ridden bags and brought clean, sanitary single use plastc bags back. by law.
they should of thought about how filthy most people are before all that reuseable bag shit was law but treehuggers and such arent really known for thinking things through.
 of course proper disposal is a must too. stupid is stupid i must admit. we use ours to bag cat poo (among other things) and dispose of properly in the trash. |

The new rage was these arrays of dispensers for rice/oats/beans where you bring your own bag and pour out what you want.
I guess that's out of the window now. Maybe idk
anyway so many industries going up or down in the next few months

as we see here often, many Americans think the virus is imaginary and they can just shoot it if they see it.

All protection is an illusion of security.
Your main defense is not to arouse interest in professional attackers. From this point of view, I would advise you to reduce the number of access points, especially if they are via a wi-fi.
I'm not a professional, I'm just keeping a close eye on the news on cyber security...
thank you for the detailed reply. i wanted to reply in a bit more detail but ill just reply to this part (multiple wireless APs etc) for now. i had though of the fact that a bunch of wireless individual APs and such in a single residence would be an invitation to see why. so my "solution" is to have most wireless APs in my basement on the floor. thus surrounded by concrete and dirt, so the only way for the signal to go (more or less) is up into the house space (which is the only place i want it seen), and not outside of the house footprint. as well as turn the power output as low as i can on device. thus minimizing people driving by seeing the APs low tech i know but its the best i can come up with. |

4. Do not use an Internet access point if at least one other (your) device, home IOT devices, is connected to this access point).
good point as anything with access to other machines on the network can sniff packets and otherwise wreak damage to machines on it. i have several access points for the various stuff.. one for ip cams systems, one for stuff like TVs, one for google/alexa stuff, one for other IoT (washer/dryer etc), one for guests, and one for my wireless computers and such. none of the items on those access points can see the others. but stuff on the same AP can (usually) see each other as they usually need to. EDIT: forgot to mention the obvious takeaway.. plus a separate AP for the rig you use the wallet on. ------------------------------------------- Are you writing this seriously, or is this a joke on the subject? It's good from a security point of view, but it's too deliberate. For example, why make a separate point "one for things like google/alexa" when this service already transmits everything it hears to servers, even when you don't use it? All that this service hears is the same thing that anyone who attacks you will catch on the network. sniped a bit out but the short answer is no not joking. btw google mini has a hard switch to turn the mike off. and its usually off as i rarely use it. yes there are a couple routers. along with straight wireless APs that (usually) do not allow connected devices to see each other. im not concerned about the main ip addy from the modem being shared among the various routers and such as i know they can be linked together. im not trying to hide from the government, just script kiddies, IoT crap with little to no security etc. however your knowledge obviously exceeds mine. any suggestions to improve this? i mean this in all seriousness. im not super paranoid but since most I0T stuff never gets security updates what are my options? |

a 1200 stimulus check was issued to a dead family member that im executor of the estate of.
it went direct deposit to the estate bank account thats in my name as im the executor. since thats me the letter that told me of the 1200 went to me.
im not even sure what to make of that.
edit that person died over a year ago. and all relevant authorities were notified immediately (irs, ssa etc)
Return it. Not going to help the person, and is the right thing to do. i will. just figure ill wait till there some sort of procedure in place. i have the feeling all they are worried about right now is getting checks out. doubt any though has been given to giving mistaken ones back yet. so it will sit, untouched, in the estate account till then. huh. a quick search of the irs web site says this isnt uncommon (stimulus and such checks going to dead people), and it seems i can keep it. as there is no law saying it has to be returned. guess the government thinks it cant possibly makes mistakes. sometimes these wtf moments are priceless. people desperately needing the 1200 and not getting it, while the dead get theirs and can keep it (well, next of kin). so looks like if this is true i will donate it to an organization (local to the deceased residence) to help the folks who got the royal shaft by the government. EDIT: apparently this stimulus check was based on the deceased persons 2018 tax return. |

They wont notice an error unless you point it out. i wouldnt have ever done that. nobody cares, literally nobody. You pointing it out just makes more work for someone.
still, sorry to hear it.
i would hold it for them in case they realise and want it back.
sorry i meant hodl it. in btc
yeah i plan on just letting it sit there until this blows over a bit and the mass confusion dies down.. at this point trying to figure out how to give it back will be worse that just letting it be for a while. i do intend on returning it but right now with millions not getting theirs i figure the last thing they want to waste time on is dealing on someone trying to give it back. |

Over half of infected show no symptoms. They don't even know they have her inside them. Of those who do get symptoms, maybe a fifth will get sick enough to get tested. Those are the official numbers, so the actual number of infected is likely to be ten times as high.
From that group, maybe a fifth will get sick enough to need treatment. And of those, maybe a fifth die. So that gives us a 0.4% death rate overall. Let's assume I'm wildly off and call it 4%. Even then not bad enough to shut down the entire global economy, much less implement the kind of draconian measures that some here have personally experienced.
Is anything missing? Is the current state of the world anything other than an authoritarian power grab?
just curious. do you or anyone you know work in medical. my wife and i did (not that that means we are super informed but we also know enough to not believe all the ridiculous crap circulating that the uneducated believe. friends of ours in medical are scared. i mean scared. for themselves somewhat but mainly for their familys that they go home to and may possibly infect. and doctors and nurses do not scare easy (IMO at least the ones we know.. they will wade right into the thick of it. because thats what they do). |
