i have a single box i use for data storage; backup; wifi; router; and switch.

it runs ubuntu on the bare iron with

• a windows 10 kvm/qemu vm with pci pass through on wifi to get 1 gig wifi speeds on intel in ap mode (intel won't allow it using linux drivers)
• a pfsense kvm/qemu vm for router & firewall to internet and with pci pass through on a 1 gig nic to gap the internet from the base ubuntu
• dns & ip masquerade along with kvm/qemu based sofware defined networking for windows, pfsense and ubuntu to forward all wifi and cabled network through to internet and
• connected via 3 gig nic and switch for much faster local data storage and backup on the ubuntu install.
• vpn and remote backup using pfsense for access to my setup from anywhere else in the world. (eg routing traffic from the office to my home connection for personal use and access to my data)

topographically, it looks like this, but in reality it's all one box:

                              ┌────┐                    ┌─────────────┐

like kissinger, i'm sure he doesn't give a rat's ass about the damage he's done

most catalonians and basque don't think so

that's why so many in red and swing states are blocked from voting or gerrymandered from its impact and, having been one of them while i lived in texas, i learned the hard way that not accepting this fact that makes voting alone ineffective where it's needed the most is probably the biggest reason why things are guaranteed to get worse.

fwiw: you do get to hear a little bit of ferengi in this episode, before they get their translators fixed

You weren’t hoping that Secure Boot saves your ass, were you?

i wonder if containerized firefox (eg snap/flatpak) will

as a san franciscan-california latino who had to live in texas for 5 years, texan latinos are so conservative that they make florida cubano expats looks like communist loving bleeding heart liberals; especially the evangelicals; and nothing will change texas because of that.

not that it matters, i fully expected texas to become a minority controlled apartheid state in all but name eventually and now i know i was right thanks to this article.

me three

i think that's why the show gives me so much anxiety; it's too believable

By however they identify themselves and if you don't know; ask.

i couldn't either and the relief i feel from leaving that shithole is very real.

I feel like the most galling thing about xtianity is that you can be the most violent, murderous, racist, homophobic pos forever and, per doctrine, you'll still be welcomed into heaven no matter what so long as you believe that the invisible sky friend exists.

it's a very effective form of voter suppression, so yes, it's very american; gotta make sure only the right kind of people can voter after all.
