Not making your society a dystopian hellscape might help.
If there was air between us and the sun we would long have been burned to a crisp, though.
You are allowed to praise the Great Leaders Xi, Kim and Putin as much as you want.
After your implying that what was a suitable system for an 1850s border town is somehow not ideal for a city in the 21st century? What kind of far left radical are you?
The next frontier is not going to the moon, it's staying there and utilising the local resources. This may have huge geostrategic implications too, so you can be damn sure the Yanks will take notice if the Chinese get there first.
US space policy is dominated by politicians who see NASA as a way to dole out government pork to their local constituencies. As long as that doesn't change, progress will continue to be very slow. The Chinese landing people on the moon just might be what the US need to pull their heads out of their arse and get a move on. If Trump wins, it'll all be fucked up anyway, but so will everything else.
I've completely given up on watching broadcast TV. Recently they made a change in Germany, where you have to pay extra for cable TV. Which I won't do so now I don't have cable any more. I haven't even noticed the difference.

I, for one, definitely won't be buying another Tesla as long as Naziboy Musk has anything to do with the company.
After my last post got quite a lot of interest, I thought I'd do a follow-up. And, what can I say, it's been a journey:
Hardware
Installing the hardware was pretty easy. I'm just always a bit apprehensive about these things because I don't do this very often. But it went fine.
First boot
Nothing. No reaction at all. Well shit. After trying to reboot about 10 times, I removed all the drives one by one, but no change. I tried reseating the RAM but that also didn't do it. Then I left the machine alone for a few minutes while I was doing something else and suddenly I was in the BIOS. I'm not sure if it was the reseating or if it just needed some time for RAM training or something. Anyway, finally some result. So I put it all togther again and proceded to the next level.
Openmedivault installation
Plugged in the USB stick, it booted straight into the OMV installer. Then I hit a snag as it was trying to connect to the network. It only showed the Ethernet connections, no Wifi. But I hadn't plugged it in because my desk is not near the router. I wanted to set it up with Wifi and then plug it in at the router. First I thought the Wifi card is buggered. So I booted into a Linux Mint live system. It showed the Wifi card and connected without issue. I don't know if it's a driver issue or if OMV simply doesn't suppot Wifi. That would seem a bit silly, though. Maybe someone here has some insight? So anyway, after some very janky cable routing I managed to hook it up to both Ethernet and HDMI, after that the OMV installation went through without any problems.
Setting up the RAID
Well, in hindsight it was easy. Better documentation would really have helped, though. I created file systems on the disk first and thought I could then add these to the RAID. But what you have to do is download the RAID plugin first, then create the RAID and then create a file system with your disks. No problem if you know how to do it. But it took me a lot of searching and trial and error to figure that out. ** Sharing the Drive**
Next I created a shared folder and proceeded to mount it on my PC via NFS. That didn't go too well, as I could see the shared folder on the PC but didnt have write permission to put any data on it. After spending literally all evening trying out various permutations of NFS settings on both the server and client side, I finally figuered out that I had forgotten to set an ACL on the shared folder, which prevented me from accessing it on the client. Again, better documentation would have helped a lot there. Maybe it's out there and I just didn't find it.
What's next
So anyway, I have a functioning NAS now. Could have been easier but I guess that's just how it is round here. Next I want to set up some docker apps, like Jellyfin and paperless-ngx. Let's see how that goes. The main drawback so far is the noise. That thinhg is loud. Even when it's in a closet, the fan makes it difficult to be in the same room. That's definitely something I'll have to address. Someone suggested swapping out the fan but I'm not sure how I'd find one that is suitable. Any suggestions are welcome. If you guys are interested, I'll keep writing updates about my progress.
Da kann ja wirklich nichts, aber auch gar nichts schief gehen.
It's an Aoostar R1. A mini PC with an Intel N100 and two HDD drive bays. It's going to be my new NAS.

So the judge agreed that Musk is a windbag who nobody should believe. What a great victory.
I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I'm thinking about what to install on it. It's supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I'm not aware of? I've also considered Unraid, but I'd prefer something FOSS.

While I think something like this makes sense, the pricing seems off. For $600 you can build a PC with a desktop GPU. If you want to make it easy to set up, you could just use an off the shelf mini-PC and preinstall everything so a non-technical user can get started without any hassle. I really hope we'll see more Steam machine like devices in the future.
I bought an Elemnt Bolt recently and now I'd like to get heart rate sensor to go with it. The Wahoo ones seem to be sold out everywhere, though. Are there any other sensors I can use? Is it compatible with Ant+? Does anybody have experience with using third party sensors?

Yeah, I totally get that. Give me $46 billion or I won't be motivated any more either.

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.
