I think it might have been due to using Void Linux. Their RPI images aren't the best honestly. I've switched to use a rack of Intel NUCs. They have 10g NICs attached via Thunderbolt and run as a Proxmox cluster. They serve my data mining/hording purposes for now. Two hold a postgres master/slave pair, but they only have 4TB nvme. I have one db server built out with 3x raidz drives that's getting a replica set and hope to have a second built out this month so I no longer have to depend on storage on the NUCs.
I should put the pi cluster back together at some point and try Kamal on them. -

I saw a Tim Dillon comedy act months back where he tore into how no one cares about tech workers making 200k getting laid off. It was hilarious, even myself being a tech worker who's watched friends get laid off for the past three years.
I kinda feel the same about government workers. I have a friend who I use to work with federally who won't stop bitching about Orange Man. Guy could easily get a job in the private section, but he's just too much of a whine bitch to get off his ass and apply himself. -

I had one but stripped it for fans because the Pis were unreliable and crashed all the damn time:

social security numbers aren't unique. They get reused. -

If the Wal-mart guy isn't his buddy in on the gag, I kinda feel sorry for him. -

:blobcatshrug: dunno. Maybe her whole point is moot.
I don't think DOGE is really doing anything though. It feels like USAID is just being offered up as a sacrifice of saying, "Hey we did something," plus the CIA probably wanted more of that money for programs that actually work for them. I'm pretty sure none of the stuff the CIA really wants will be cut; just moved over to the State Department.
It'd be interesting to take a look at the executive/discretionary budget after the next budget season, to see how much money was actually cut.
As far as the 20-somethings working there, maybe it's just an experimental narrative to judge reactions. I'm going to guess a lot of government propaganda is just A/B testing at this point.

I considered this a while back, but after doing a lot of traveling and some research, I think it's just a matter of there being more planes flying today and the fact the engines run a lot hotter today as well. I wrote a post about it years ago:

Are there any video interviews with any of these kids? You only need one to completely disprove her theory. -

I don't think most polytheists server their idols. Most pantheons are just representations of different parts of human self ... ego, war, farming, etc. -

In this YouTube video, I'm going to turn this tree outside my house into one of those drinking bird toys, except replace bird with giant dick. -

The stars do change. They adjust due to the wobble of the Earth. The location of critical navigation stars and constellations have changed over the centuries. The structures at Göbekli Tepe were built decades or centuries apart, but rotated with each new structure to line up with the correct star. Archaeologist date some religious structures based on the start they would have been facing in that century.
The speeds seem fast, but the distances are vast, and much of our galaxy is moving relative to the speed of the Earth. So the changes are going to seem very small unless you expand to a larger timescale. -

Everything about these DOGE people seems fake and gay. Peggy Hall isn't even in tech and she can smell through their entire bullshit story:

Some of them. I have friends in power and social security who said they never got the buyout for September e-mail, so only a subset people are getting that option. It's not clear what the criteria is either. -

I had an old co-worker who won't shut up about Orange Man, even though it really hasn't affected his job at all. I use to work with him 20 years ago. The dude bitches about his job all the time, but he'd easily make 1.5x as much in the private sector and could easily jump to any of the other big three companies in town, but he won't even apply and just bitches.
I'm glad I got out of federal work. I've learned so much more jumping corporate jobs ever 1~3 years. I think people who have been their institutionally would be insanely behind going to any other tech job.
