Ive often seen individuals on the left talking about how billionares shouldnt exist etc., but when probed on how that could be accomplished the answer is usually just taxes or guillotines. I dont think either is great.

What if instead, corporations were made to be unable to be sold or owned. Initially theyre made to default to popular election for their board, and after that they can set up a charter or adopt a standard one, ratified by majority vote of their employees.

Bank collapse would probably follow, how could that be remedied? Maybe match the banks invalidated stocks with bonds?

I watched brandon herrera's video recently about how hed dismantle the ATF from within and it left me wondering why anyone thinks trump is pro gun. Hes a new york conman and an aspiring dictator, doesnt exactly scream gun nut to me.

So i read up on project 2025 to see if any gun stuff is in their agenda and found this.

"Congress passes intentionally vague laws that delegate decision-making over a given issue to a federal agency. That agency’s bureaucrats—not just unelected but seemingly un-fireable—then leap at the chance to fill the vacuum created by Congress’s preening cowardice. The federal government is growing larger and less constitutionally accountable—even to the President—every year.

l A combination of elected and unelected bureaucrats at the Environmental Protection Agency quietly strangles domestic energy production through difficult-to-understand rulemaking processes;

l Bureaucrats at the Department of Homeland Security, following the lead of a feckless Administration, order border and immigration enforcement agencies to help migrants criminally enter our country with impunity;

l Bureaucrats at the Department of Education inject racist, anti-American, ahistorical propaganda into America’s classrooms;

l Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists;

l Woke bureaucrats at the Pentagon force troops to attend “training” seminars about “white privilege”; and

l Bureaucrats at the State Department infuse U.S. foreign aid programs with woke extremism about “intersectionality” and abortion.

3 Unaccountable federal spending is the secret lifeblood of the Great Awokening."

I find it ironic that in the section talking about cutting down federal agencies powers to act and provision their funding without congress, they dont even mention the ATF.

First of all, thanks to everyone who came out and offered their suggestions and advice yesterday when I asked about setting up my UM890 from minisforum in RAID0.

Many called me mad for going for RAID0 here but ... shrug its not my only computer so I'm ok being a bit risky here.
My original plan was to backup, set up the drives in raid, install nobara on the raid array, and ride off into the sunset.

That was a bad plan.

Timeshift froze while backing up, and worse, back in time froze while restoring.
Repeatedly.
Even when booting from a live usb and without enabling RAID.
Wasted several hours trying variations of that ... my USB drive is kinda slow.

On my last post someone suggested I simply add the new drive to an existing btrfs file system, then switch to a raid0 profile.
That was a good plan, and ultimately what I ended up doing after my plan failed.

Commands I ran on my machine :
sudo fdisk -l
sudo lsblk
sudo mkdir /mnt/drive1
sudo btrfs device add /dev/nvme1n1 /mnt/drive1 -f
btrfs filesystem df /
sudo btrfs balance start -dconvert=raid0 /

Performance
In case the image doesn't show, 6230MBps Seq Read, 758Mbps 4k Rnd Read, 4496MBps Seq Write, 292.6 4k Rnd Write.

PS
Even though my restore failed, the files were all there so I didn't lose anything , I just had to reinstall all my programs and such.
Also enable nvme raid in the BIOS before you do anything else.

I'd appreciate a sanity check for what I'm planning to do later today.

I bought a minisforum um890 recently. It has 2 m.2 nvme ports. I have the system running nobara off one drive currently, the other is unfilled. The drive has file system encryption enabled.

I backed up the root folder of my system to a 128gb usb using backintime. I enabled encryption when asked.

I plan to install a second ssd, enable raid 0 striping on the 2 drives in bios, boot from a live USB, then install nobara onto the new raid storage.

After that, i should be able to reinstall backintime then restore my backup right?

I've been planning a conversion on my 2000 chevy s10 with the emrax 348 for a while, and I came across these while searching for a battery. They claim a charge / discharge of 50C and 60C respectively. Wtf. The brand is reputable though, but I didn't think this was possible ...

Say Alice wants to open up an HTTPS connection to Bob through a proxy named Earl.

What prevents Earl from reading alices request, opening a connection pretending to be bob, and then opening a https connection with bob pretending to be Alice , and snooping on the traffic as it passes through ?

All the NUCs and other mini PCs I see run mobile processors.

It's a shame because a simple downdraft air cooler with a 120mm fan can handle a pretty high power load and could definitely fit in a tiny space.

Add a few thunderbolt ports and you could have a capable and upgradeable little pc.
