Sorry mate, those figures with no meaningful captions are borderline incomprehensible. Like, what's the difference between first and second figure?

You as a human use pure iron. But non-animate objects, yeah mostly alloys

the fuckup in redefining the mole in 2019

What? It was necessary due to our observations of the universe (on every scale), not some arbitrary "fuckup"

it's not hard to read

Until there's missing brace somewhere

It is undoubtedly a new piece of research, but the cause is always the same: corporations exploit people because they are taken out of government and democratic control effectively everywhere.

Some corporations employ more people and have bigger budgets than some countries and they often influence people's lives more than the government. Yet they're effectively electoral monarchies where electors and monarchs are just a bunch of rich assholes who respond to nobody.

Only when we change that system then those headlines will stop.

No need for acting when the (non-US) date format is superior

It's the tragedy of our times that advocating for basic human rights is somehow "leftist"

I create tables every day for run-of-the-mill stuff that simply doesn't need a database. No one has time for that.

It seems that your issue isn't the lack of tables in sheets but no easy way to create a simple db.

If we want to break Microsoft's monopoly than we can't do that by reimplementing Microsoft's monopolistic ecosystem. And that creates the opportunity to correct questionable and arbitrary Microsoft decisions.

People are used to MS Office now but so were they used to typewriters a few decades ago. And if we're changing OSes we don't have to stick to one office suite.

I strongly disagree. The porn is a huge issue, but there are a lot of actually useful websites where kids and teens can learn about their interests. Gatekeeping all that knowledge would make young people significantly less knowledgeable

I'm genuinely curious where their penny picking went? All of tech companies shove ads into our throats and steal our privacy justifying that by saying they operate at loss and need to increase income. But suddenly they can afford spending huge amounts on some shit that won't give them any more income. How do they justify it then?

the (reasonably) exact number is probs only really known by Russian AF Command

You overestimate Russian Army competency way too much... if they even cared how many people died

 

I have ZBOX MI571 with an i7-6700T and 16GB (SODIMM) RAM laying unused. And I want to make a personal backup/archive server, for which I think TrueNas will work best.

The box has more than enough computational power for running TrueNas. But as far as I could find it has only one SATA and one M.2 SATA port, so not enough to have a boot-pool and a redundant storage-pool. And it doesn't have any spare PCIe ports.

So I'm wondering what's my best option here? Can the drives be somehow reliability attached through USB for example? Or will it be best to buy a used mobo and ram and replant the CPU? Or should I just sell the whole thing and build a server from scratch?
