TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com reshared: We race to extract, use up, and get the world's resources into landfills as quickly as possible through planned obsolescence. We don't value existing natural resources like forests or biodiversity or clean water or thriving ecosystems, but consider them valuable only when we've cut those forests down and turned them into dinette sets. It's profitable to degrade the world's future quality of life,Jan 13 11:46

TechrightsSocial@deathsythe: @schestowitz @izno that is a false analogy. Nuclear weapons dont meet the definition of 'arms' in the constitution that the SCOTUS defined.Jan 13 21:11
schestowitz[21:03] <qu1j0t3> i don't know why people think they have.Jan 13 21:11
schestowitzthey slowed down the arms race as measured in terms of # of nuclear warheadsJan 13 21:12
MinceRso?Jan 13 21:12
MinceRin what way is this an argument against guns?Jan 13 21:12
qu1j0t3schestowitz: slowed down? the arsenals haven't changed in size much.Jan 13 21:13
qu1j0t3schestowitz: US pays to secure the Russian ones, i believeJan 13 21:13
qu1j0t3schestowitz: people are just given other preoccupations than they were given in the Cold War, so they don't talk about the weapons and threat any more, but it's still there.Jan 13 21:13
schestowitzme: "I am still trying to study ways of deploying file systems across networks (not in the NFS sense). One option of course is to use SCP/SSH to make a virtual file system, as in kio with fish:// or whatever protocol provides access to (mostly) storage devices that applications need not access frequently/directly. Many file managers, including Nautilus, Dolphin and Konqueror have good built-in support for that. Can you think Jan 13 22:46
schestowitzof a real-world scenario where we might, for instance, want a root partition to be mounted fully over the network, e.g. for booting? Samba, as mentioned on the phone (CIFS), is like compensating for lack of familiarity/compatibility with NFS/SSH, usually in a Windows-oriented working environment."Jan 13 22:46
qu1j0t3netbooting over nfs is nothing new, it used to be a standard way of doing things.Jan 13 22:47
qu1j0t3i did it just the other day. with root over nfs.Jan 13 22:47
schestowitzWe could of course map drives over the network with standard fstab syntax, or even map local partitions such that they become accessible to Linux, e.g. NTFS partitions. There are GUIs to set that up.Jan 13 22:48
schestowitzqu1j0t3:sometimes NFS is just used for /home/Jan 13 22:48
schestowitzNever booted directly from the networkJan 13 22:48
qu1j0t3schestowitz: sure. Jan 13 22:49
schestowitzseems riskyJan 13 22:49
qu1j0t3schestowitz: that's why i'm pointing out that it used to be a very common configuration.Jan 13 22:49
schestowitzno network->no bootJan 13 22:49

qu1j0t3it was used for diskless workstationsJan 13 22:49
