  • I’m so old I remember when the right wing nutters of this country lost their absolute shit at the thought that the military was conducting exercises on US soil and concocted conspiracy after conspiracy around it. Ten years later now and they’re fucking cheerleading it.

    “A survey of registered Republicans by Public Policy Polling in May 2015,[40] found that 32% thought that “the Government is trying to take over Texas”, and that half of all Tea Party supporters were concerned about an imminent Texas invasion.”

    "On April 28, Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered the Texas State Guard to monitor the operation, writing: “During the training operation, it is important that Texans know [that] their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed”, and requesting “regular updates on the progress and safety of the Operation”.[37][43]











  • I was a poll watcher in Texas. Electioneering was never a big deal before because you didn’t have people whose entire personality was being Donald Trump cult members. Electioneering violations were almost always small candidates trying to get name recognition at the last second. They’d have someone post up with a car with signs on it.

    But the rules were good for reducing tension because the line to keep out was clear and it kept politicking out of the voting area.

    Obviously the entire concept of reducing tension is foreign to the Trump nutters.


  • Nextcloud borked my Unraid server. Took me forever to find the source of constant lockups. Apart from that, the Nextcloud container took up more of my time than any other part of my server, including the OS.

    This was a couple years ago. Maybe things have changed.

    My Unraid server is a dream otherwise. Rock solid and 30 containers running smoothly for years and years.

    Just another data point.

    I used Proxmox for a long time before Unraid, but that’s when getting deep into it was a hobby. Now I just want it to work.
