Alternativet är att inte ha ett försvar. Är det ett acceptabelt alternativ för dig? Det är det inte för mig. Som jag sade, jag föredrar absolut att ha ett professionellt försvar. Ingen tvekan. Att inte ha ett alls eller ett väldigt undermåligt gör oss inte trovärdigt självständiga.

1. Vi prövade att ha ett professionellt försvar. Villkoren och lönen Sverige är villiga att erbjuda var inte bra nog. Försvaret krympte till en ohållbar nivå. Antingen höjer vi ersättningen till en nivå där det faktiskt lockar folk eller så har vi värnplikt. Alternativet är att vi inte har ett försvar.

Jag kan motvilligt acceptera inskränkningen i den personliga friheten i att vi påtvingar människor en utbildning i försvar. Ett professionellt försvar är ett bättre alternativ enligt mig, men då måste vi vara villiga att betala vad det kostar.

2. Jag gjorde 10 månader. Jag överklagade beslutet, men fick nedslag och blev intvingad mot min vilja. Jag valde att göra det bästa av situationen och trivdes bra. Jag har vänner för livet och många goda minnen. Jag växte även som människa.

3. Jag är inte längre krigsplacerad, men utan tvekan ställer jag upp om vi blir anfallna. Att slåss för min nästas rätt till frihet och demokrati är en självklarhet för mig. Att ställa upp i en kris är ett ännu enklare ja. Försvaret har möjligheter att hjälpa till som många andra organisationer inte har i vissa fall.

Relaying sensitive information over your own wires are a lot more secure then a privately owned service from a foreign country. It’s just a lot more cumbersome.

As with all things backups, testing and maintenance is key.

If there were ones that vibrated or had interference enough to affect neighboring units, that would be marketing points. As it is now, no one mentions any of those points. It’s all capacity, I/O and features.

If there were units that showed any of those issues, the reviews would tell.

This unit is basically dead silent in normal operation. During charging and discharging there is an audible hum, but nothing else. I haven’t noticed any vibration or ZFS scrubs reporting corrections.

That’s not true either. Byte can be both powers of 10 and powers of 2. When talking about storage devices like hard drives etc. we usually refer to them in powers of 10, but OS’s usually do it in powers of 2. That’s why your hard drive looks smaller than advertised.

Bits are used for flash memory as individual chips. Assembled devices such as RAM and memory cards are advertised in bytes. I’m imagining that the same goes for hard drive platters and possibly disc media as well.

PiKVM is based on Arch for ARM.

Yes.

Not aware of any such project. I’d assume you’ll need some hardware anyways as you need it for the level of access (ATX etc.). Not sure how that would be preferable to this.

It’s a KVM in the same sense but instead of switching it provides the functionality over a web interface so that I can manage my server from my workstation or laptop instead of crawling in the space beneath the stairs where my server is if something goes wrong. Compare with IPMI.

It’s not a graphics card. https://pikvm.org/

It’s kind of the point here to occupy the video out as this is a server and has no screen connected otherwise. Normally it doesn’t need one.

Would’ve loved to gotten one of those. But the power consumption of a Xeon is a bit higher than I’d like. This was a nice to have, not need to. It was a Christmas gift from my wife 🥰

There is power/reset and power/hdd LEDs as well as a USB 3 header for mouse and keyboard and flash/disc emulation. That way you can mount an image and boot from that if you want. Super handy for re-installs or troubleshooting tools.

Exactly, it isn’t a replacement. It is redundancy in the form of a screen with keyboard and mouse directly connected, but accessibly from remote (my couch). It is far from my primary interface with the server.

It’s part of my PiKVM-kit. https://geekworm.com/products/pikvm-a8

It’s also PoE which is very nice.

God Jul!

All valid points! As I said, very subjective. Good on you for doing your thing!

Not to be that guy, but I don’t really find the picture that amazing. 5/10. It’s a rally car. Probably har to compose for and get in focus as it’s moving fast so props for that.

Possible improvements:

• The picture is kind of dark and lackluster. Lifting the shadows and increasing the contrast a bit might help.
• There is no real sense of speed. Slowing down the shutter speed a fraction and tracking the car would give some background motion blur.
• The background doesn’t tell us much. A bit tighter crop might make us see more detail in the car instead.

Obviously all of this is my subjective opinion. Take it for what it is. A strangers opinion on the internet. Thank you for sharing!

As a person that’s been rolled into smartphones via work (iPhone 3Gs) and then never daily driven an Android, but always thought it might be more to my liking, I’m aghast. How can this be accepted? I now understand why large botnets often is comprised of Android devices.
