You’re exactly correct. The law as it stands is irrelevant to what these analysts think. I’m not saying Trump can call every shot, but it doesn’t really get any easier to change or skirt laws he dislikes. Anyone who leans on the “but the law says…” argument is praying.

All these analysts trying to figure out how this tyrant who will be in control of all the Federal government can’t do this or that because a piece of paper says so. SMH.

Not to mention that the civil war was lost through the presidential election of 1876 even though it was won in battle before that. That election was so corrupt that the Union conceded a lot to get their president, including removing Federal forces from the South on the promise that the South would protect Federal rights of minorities, blacks, etc. (among other things) The North pulled out and the south reneged without consequence (the KKK was the strong arm then) until the Civil Rights act in the 60s. That’s only roughly 60 years ago. Most of the institutional segregation from before then is still firmly in place.

Heaven forbid we would have to compromise instead of ramming legislation only we like through to pass.

I know what it means. I guess I didn’t make my point clear enough, that’s on me. I didn’t think I had to write it for an eli5 audience.

Religion didn’t prime them. Religion merely exploits the same human psychological weaknesses. This is why they go hand in hand.

This won’t change. Democrats have to take a lesson in human behaviour. Republican tactics work. Embrace them. Exploit them.

You imply that Trump actually intends to govern and not rule.

I, for one, hope that this is exactly what we needed. Shit has to get dark before the light can return.

Yes, and the church went nuts displaying the “Holy Relic” that was his supposed foreskin for many, many years, in many churches… At the same time. It got so out of control that people started to wonder why the church was so obsessed with Jesus’s dick. So the Pope finally got a clue, commanded a stop to the practice, and threatened to excommunicate anyone who spoke about it afterward. Ah, Christianity. Good times.

Read a newspaper some time. You might learn a thing about that.

I didn’t realize all Russians were in the Linux kernel maintainers file. Silly me.

This is not collective punishment.

Good. Fuck Russia.

Don’t we have AI assistants for this?

I’m not sure why SHR would require any file system, it’s an abstraction that sits below that layer.

I don’t have a Synology, but I implemented SHR manually using mdadm and LVM. If you have a RAID 1 array you can just add disks to it and “upgrade” it to the next tier of your choice. So with 3 disks you could just go to RAID 5 and that chunk would now become RAID 5.

It wouldn’t be merged with any additional chunks directly. Rather, you’d use LVM to create a volume group with each chunk added (each chunk world be formatted into a PV). From that you would carve out your volumes and then your file systems on top of that.

This is a pretty simple layout and I imagine Synology is pretty close to this.

The best way, I found to do this is to actually first partition your drives into 2-4TB chunks. Each of these partitions is then added to a RAID array, minimizing waste if you have mixed size drives. e.g. with three disks the first partitions are grouped into one raid array (chunk) and then the second partition of each disk is grouped into the next array, etc.

So, in your case, I suspect the Synology created a 1TB partition on each of your 1TB drives. If you replace 2 of those, Synology would create 1TB partitions on the new drives that match the existing raw disk size. It would then create a new RAID 1 array using the 3tb of additional space that’s sitting on new 3tb partitions. LVM would then add this chunk to your volume(s).

Of course, that’s just my guess based on research I did a while ago to build my own array. Check out the Synology RAID calculator. It’ll give you some ideas about this, too.

Those kids don’t know the difference. They only feel hate toward others.

The many faces of racism.

Just write that they lied. They didn’t mischaracterise anything.
