My wife’s story isn’t too exciting. Her tio and tia were able to get visas in the early 80s and were both Doctors. After they received citizenship and established themselves in the United States, they started helping the rest of the family come over. My wife’s immediate family applied for visas in 95 and was approved in 99. They had a big support system of family already here and gained citizenship a few years later. Her story is one of the better/easier ones and she is very aware of that.

Without getting into too much personal stuff, she has heard multiple stories of one or two children (as young as 7) getting separated from the rest of their family for a month/months at detention centers. Some of them deal with the trauma better than others . It seems like the younger kids normalized it in their head, but it’s always weird for her when they ask about her immigration story, and how much easier it was for her.

Even Klasky Csupo demons look better than this.

Most people don’t. I really didn’t get the whole scope/big picture until my wife (who immigrated as a child and now works with immigrant families) explained the whole process and gave examples of things she’s seen at work and with people in the community. Last night we got dinner with my mom and she asked “OK where are we moving to?” to only get a lengthy conversation of how it’s works and how hard it is. It’s not as easy as buying a plane ticket, selling all your stuff or shipping things to where you are going and then picking up life as normal. I hope most people here realize that, but I felt like it needed to be said.

Ahhh yes, it is so easy to pick up and move to another country. Why didn’t anyone think of this earlier?

Why not both?

Not my wallpapers!

People have always been horny. Like music, eroticism just builds off of influences of the past

One of my friends printed this tiny rack for a small switch and two micro PCs. It’s pretty cute and nifty

Same, hopped from PF to opn last year and really haven’t had to do too much besides updates. For somethings E

What would be the difference of running this as opposed to pf/opnsense? I know they use FreeBSD but I am not that versed in BSD based networking

I first felt like I was missing on news for my niche hobbies but just started going sites directly for news (testing an rss reader this week for the first time in over a decade so that might change). Besides that just looking at the default hot or rising threads hit a lot of what I’m looking for with good discussions.

Whew that was close

Oh God am I old now? I never had to use one but know of their existence from said movie.

Yeah I haven’t noticed any noise. It’s fanless and the whole outer case is the heatsink. It is pretty heavy for it’s size though

If you can find a cheap off lease/used enterprise workstation and get a decent nic that could take your budget down for a router . I was running an optiplex 9010 with a i340-T4 as my opnsense box for years and that was ~75 USD in 2020.

Edit: I ended up picking this little box a year ago for 60 bucks and love it. Way less awkward in the living room than a sff PC as a router.

Gotta point out, that meme template has been around before then.

‘One thing is broken’ is usually prefaced with an email explaining why a service is down but it doesn’t stop people.
