@mk I was a PayPal subscriber for nearly 20 years, and I canceled the day after this news broke.

@mk @PNS This confused me for a moment, until I remembered that the European system swaps the function of the comma and the period in representing numbers. So 1.300 (European) means 1,300 (American).

@djsumdog Mine is the HP N40L, with four vertical drives arranged across the front (although I have the fifth, a boot drive, stashed in space above). And yes, it has an AMD Turion processor that lacks hardware AES; this isn’t a deal breaker for me, as I encrypt ZFS on the source and do raw ZFS send to the NAS box. It is of course possible to do encrypt/decrypt on the NAS, but it uses 60% of the CPU!

@djsumdog Props to you, sir! With Gentoo, no less! I’ve got an ancient HP Microserver NAS running ZFS - it was on TrueNAS, but with their abandonment of TrueNAS Core I’ve been playing with XigmaNAS. My initial install was not ZFS on root, I’ve been meaning to go back and re-do it when I have time.

@mk Context: RKI is the Robert Koch Institute, roughly the German equivalent of the American CDC (they were the authoritative body on COVID response).

Rough translation: “There is an increase in variants from vaccination expected.”

Holy crap, they actually say the quiet part out loud… while the lying, treasonous media painted the unvaccinated as the source of variants. Great work bringing this to light.
