Must we connect everything to the cloud?

Hey, just a heads up: The HTTPS certs for these have expired.

Can it access a file without spinning up all disks in the array?

I haven't used ZFS in like a decade, but would strongly consider going back to it if it can do that now.

If not, then why are you so hostile about it?

Actually – why are you so hostile about everything? It seems like most (or all?) of your recent posts and comments are negative, hostile, hateful, etc. You might be one of the most negative people on this platform. Do you just hate it here or something?

Your account is more than a year old (created 2024-07-05T02:03:51.795869Z). You have 334 posts and 4,412 comments. I'm very curious: If I were to run a sentiment analysis on that data, would it be possible to find a single positive thing you've ever said? Or even just "neutral" sentiment? Or are you just 100% pure hate?

Thanks.

Did I mention anything exclusive to what schools in USA teach?

I did mention "most English-speaking countries" though. Is that what you're referring to? Here's a fun fact: USA is not the only English-speaking country. In fact, the language emerged from a place called England – hence the name ;)

Actually, I was already familiar with those words in Portuguese. However, your guide made me realize that I didn't know the Portuguese word for "South American." According to Google Translate, it's "sul-americano." Thanks for helping me learn 🙂

However, your guide is for Spanish or Portuguese, not English. This matters because most romance-language-speaking countries are taught that "América" is one continent. In contrast, most English-speaking countries are taught that North and South America are two separate continents, not one single continent called "America."

Americans

Okay, there are two continents called that, though.

Fun fact: This actually depends on which part of the world you're from. In the US, we're taught that there are seven continents. Some countries teach that there are fewer. For examples:

• Some regions teach that "Eurasia" is one continent. In the US, we're taught that Europe and Asia are two separate continents.
• Some regions teach that "North America" and "South America" are one single continent called "America." I think this one seems to cause a lot of confusion across various cultures. If I understand correctly, some of these cultures recognize North, Central, and South America as subdivisions of the continent "America." Maybe this confusion is what leads to the creation of new terms like "USians."

I've never heard of an education system that teaches "two continents called America". That's fascinating. "This one is called America. This other one is also called America. However, they are not one continent; they are two continents with the same name." It seems like a confusing concept, IMO, but I suppose every culture has its quirks.

Appending a suffix like "ians" to an acronym is also an interesting concept. I'm not confident enough in my grammar skills enough to comment on whether it's (in)correct, but it's interesting to see language evolve. How is "USians" pronounced? Is it "U-S-ians"?

Oops, that appears to apply to Portuguese and Spanish conversations, but all other comments in this context have been in English.

Mas eu estou aprendendo português e agradeço 🙂

Is the term "USians" just something UKians started using recently?

Personally, it never interested me very much, so I couldn't tell you much about it on a technical level. I remember thinking the decocker is kinda cool though lol.

From the perspective of an FFL employee though: Those pretty much sold themselves. They're one of those guns that people usually already know about when they show up to buy one. They've done their research, maybe already tried shooting one, and they're excited to finally buy one of their own. IIRC, a decent portion of them tend to have military or police background.

Those were among my favorite kinds of customers. I was usually able to learn some interesting things from them about the particular gun they're buying.

I wish I could recall more about the USP aside from the neat decocker, but I've been out of the business for like 7 years.

Edit: I also remember that the .45 is an extra chonky boi.

Probably nothing. I generally don't draw much attention to myself.
