    Racial origins of those terms? Citation needed.

    Black and white, in the sense of good and evil, have had their connotations for a fucking long time, whereas black and white to describe skin colour are relatively recent etymologies. I’m pretty sure that Romans didn’t call themselves “white” or others “black”, for example.

    I’m willing to be taught, but this sounds like bullshit to me.

    The etymology being wrong doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t drop freighted terminology, I just don’t want false justification. Bullshit is never a valid reason to do something.



  • I did not find that at all.

    I’m sorry you have that - I didn’t. I was quit with no cravings for five years, what got me back in was spliffs with tobacco. (Now I vape, because I do intend to occasionally smoke weed with tobacco.)

    The reason you still have cravings is because you never deprogrammed yourself. You still associate gaspers with relief, relaxation, pleasure.

    If you can reframe the sensation of smoking as the tense tickly feeling of “god I could use a fag”, which no-one would claim to enjoy, the rest is plain sailing, and within a few weeks you’ll be past any cravings. The bulk of the cravings are done within a few days.

    I don’t mean to suggest that it’s easy to quit - most people fail. But the trick is not too withstand cravings for the rest of your life, it’s too break the paradoxical association of fags with pleasure, which is a one-time thing.




  • It’s OK, but I’d suggest:

    Atom > arm64 > arm32

    I ran on a Pi 4, but switched to a PC for jellyfin. The pi can’t transcode for shit. It was slow to boot and slow over SSH.

    Look for a NUC - they’re designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you’ll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.

    Bear in mind that network chipset will be your bottleneck in some use cases. If it has a “gigabit port” but only a cheap chipset, and you use it as a router, you might max out at ADSL speeds… in that case you’ll wish you’d gone for a box designed for soft routing, which are a fair bit pricier.



  • They don’t supply PoE, mind.

    I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:

    • 5-6x AP 6 Pro (haven’t done survey yet)
    • 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap)
    • 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker

    The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM.

    I considered Mikrotik, but my mum would have to call me every time there was an issue, and it would only be marginally cheaper. I expect any competent local tech to be able to support unifi and opnsense.
