“Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an ‘open source’ sticker on it.”

unlike EU-corporate products

Yea and why cryptocurrency isn’t money with its exchange rate being determined by how much fiat currencies are entering and exiting.

OK, two cryptocurrencies as legal tender. My point still stands. If you give people a choice between crypto and fiat they will use fiat, even if it’s a foreign currency like the Dollar in El Salvador.

The solution for El Salvador or any other country using a foreign currency isn’t to go with another foreign “currency” like Bitcoin but building their own currency.

El Salvador had their own currency until they gave it up because their leader back then was a US Puppet.

Sole legal tender.

Edit: I dare them to pay all Government employees in Bitcoin, demand taxes be paid in Bitcoin. It would be a funny experiment if it weren’t for mass unemployment and deaths that arise out of a recession.

It would be funny trade wise too. No other country is going to accept Bitcoin as payment for real goods and services. So, the country will have to convert Bitcoin to USD at market price (which can swing wildly) and also hope the market has enough liquidity to handle it.

money has to be backed by the state so if bitcoiners really want bitcoin to be used in everyday transactions, i would suggest running for President and replacing U.S. Dollar with Bitcoin for tax payments/legal tender.

how will the state obtain Bitcoins? by building massive resource wasting mining farms which itll have to issue bitcoin bonds to build, making the state subservient to the private bond markets and interest rate it demands, Greek style.

there is massive plague and the economy has collapsed? what will the state do? cant give people money or increase healthcare spending because the capacity of the state to mobilize resources is now limited by what the private sector is willing to give it or how much it can mine. oops mass death.

bitcoiners have to be dumbest creatures alive. these people can’t imagine a pro-Worker Government so they have to come up with convoluted ways to tie the hands of the state so it cant give capitalists free money.

Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.

Maybe one of your laptops isn’t supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.

how about a desktop cpu tower cooler? even though laptop cpus are low power, passive cooling is pretty difficult.

another alternative for mounting would be to 3D print a bracket but that would require a printer, basic cad skills and a heat resistant filament like polycarbonate.

look at how much metal there is on these fanless mini pcs which use low power laptop cpus

It’s not open source I think but perplexity.ai is pretty good.

yea there does appear to be delay but it doesnt target firefox users specifically (i think) or atleast isn’t obvious to me cuz the code is obfuscated. more likely related to ads (since there is a 5 second delay before you can skip ads). anti-adblock maybe yes.

get a mini pc or xiaomi tv box/firestick etc and use that with the tv. Android included with the TV fucking sucks.

Steam Deck was a huge W for Linux gaming.

find ~/ -type f -maxdepth 1 -exec sh -c ‘head -n 1 “$0” | grep -q “^#!/bin/bash$”’ {} ; -exec cp {} . ;

i tried and it seemed to work

hmm i havent used truenas scale, but gluetun is just a program to help users connect to any vpn without downloading config files as pia supports wireguard, gluetun will use it by default.

i suggest against using openvpn, its really not very good for performance because its single threaded.

wireguard is the new protocol though wdym?

you can run wireguard on opnsense itself through a plugin.

why not wireguard?
