This should be the last minirack post for awhile as it's 99.9% finished. It was a very fun build, and it's a heluva-lot quieter than what it replaced. I did lose network bandwidth, but the new cluster does exactly what it's supposed to. Live migrations are fast enough, iSCSI network means that the VMs are snappy storage-wise. The PiKVM Switch fits perfectly in the basement.

Starting up a run of Dreamscaper on Switch to try it tonight, grabbed it for super cheap ($4.99 for 10 more days) in the eshop, it's like you're this gal and it's an isometric Diablo-esque looking thing, the combat, but it's also very dream based, you do things in the waking world and I believe you battle when you sleep. So it'll be interesting to see how it goes.

The liberal obsession with optics serves the right and persuades no one. There is literally an active ethnic cleansing happening in the US right now, and the only thing that matters is making that as hard as possible to carry out.
Anarchists destroying intelligence assets saves lives. Every escooter thrown at a cop car is one less escort for a goon too afraid to kidnap random brown people without being flanked by a branch full of bad apples. Spray paint is not violence. Vandalism is not violence. Community self defense in all forms is legitimate.
Make no mistake, these raids are about changing demographics. Demographic trends have been shifting blue for a long time, and the right has, for a long time, been blaming "white replacement." Conspiracy theory aside, Democrats have also been relying on the growth of black and brown voters as a block. The nuances of whiteness as an identity are lost on the current administration and their supporters. They see that "white people will be a minority by 2050" and equate that with the "end of Western Civilization."
The only way to "save Western Civilization" is to change those demographics. Forced birth and forced removal are two sides of the same white nationalist objective. Of course they can't have due process, because they need to be able to kidnap anyone who they see as a threat to their demographic future.
They don't care about optics. The plan is to murder away any threat and flood everyone else with propaganda. There is no mythical middle. There's no one unconvinced. They know this, but they win when democrats buy that myth and save the police the work of policing the protests.
If your protest is 90% "peaceful," they'll take pictures of the 10% that isn't. If it's 99% peaceful, they'll shoot rubber bullets and teargas until someone throws a brick and take 100 pictures from a dozen angles. If its 100% "peaceful" and no one can be provoked, they'll generate pictures with AI or photoshop like they did during the George Floyd uprising and the pictures from the CHOP/CHAZ. Do you have literally no memory?

well that was lol funny. I typed in the answer as my 3rd guess and then thought of another word I liked better so I used that as my 3rd guess. I still like my 3rd guess better as I feel it provided more info though, so I don't feel bad!
Bot had a better 3rd guess that would have left only 1 word no matter which of the 7 words the answer was, instead of the 2 that my guess left.

So close. Had to go through remaining letters 1 at a time to find the answer because it just didn't pop out at me.
Getting it down to 13 words on my 1st guess didn't really help me get it quicker. If I were the bot and knew what those 13 words were, it would help, but I've gotta muddle my way through. I'm ok w/ that though.

It's interesting, the paths that lead you to the solution. Except for the bot, following an algorithm and knowing all the possible words as it goes, even those picking the same starting word follow different paths to the answer.
