  • Anecdotally, weed is hard to dose I go from a subclinical dose to a wicked depressive hangover spanning multiple days with weed whereas alcohol just keeps me feeling bad for a day. There’s also a lot of focus on making 1000mg gummies that you can have 1/10th of instead of a steady .1mg per gummie that you can have 50 of. It doesn’t replace a beer socially, yet.

    But I’m interested in what’s developing in research as far as quality and reliable dosage and most importantly the type of high. There’s a lot of variables and I hope that the research can happen because some people react so positively to it.


  • It’s cheaper to build a new server. Cloud… just isn’t cheap. Makes sense for accounting purposes and business reliability standards to a degree but not much for home use.

    This happened to me:

    1. I need a server for my Linux ISO backuos
    2. i want to be able to automatically turn in a thing but only when it needs to be on. I guess i need Homeassistant.

    Now my whole family relies on this underpowered house of cards.


  • I think you can just as easily flip that on its head.

    USA consistently weaponizes its companies through sanctions. If a country wants to be part of the global economy you need to do business with USA banks (eg SWIFT) and tech, and if your country is sanctioned, it cannot. Speaking of tech, the tech companies actively participates in wiretapping and that’s really old news - who knows what they’re doing today.

    China is typically careful about throwing its weight around because of its high dependency on exports and limited deployment capability of its army.

    In terms of a shooting war with the USA, China has a strategic advantage in being able to shut down Canadian transportation remotely, agreed.

    I think recent events have shown, however, that there’s no guarantee that the USA would automatically be on the side of Canada. I’m thinking more it’s more along the lines of how Germany and Austria were “on the same side” in WWII ie Annexation.





  • “Good” software based RAID (unraid, zfs, etc.) needs reliable access directly to the drives. Usually, USB attached storage doesn’t meet this criteria.

    Not using RAID is risky unless you’re very confident in your extensive backups (which you should have anyways).

    Personally I have been using a mini PC running TrueNAS with a JBOD over USB3.1 for years and have had some hiccups but nothing catastrophic, but I’m migrating it soon to a device I can use SATA.

    Hardware raid is typically not a great idea because you’re usually tied to the chip.
