This assigns too much legitimacy to the position. The working class are not capitalists because we have no capital with which to commit legal theft through property law or pay thugs to enforce those laws with violence.

The working class under capitalism are beholden to systems they often do not understand, cannot exercise agency within, and are actively stymied from prospering under.

Capitalism dehumanizes even those who support it. Those who support it are conditioned to reflexively demonize alternative systems. To rise above this culturally ingrained propaganda and advocate for alternatives requires seeing capitalism for what it is.

Alternative systems are to them what the bogeyman is to children.

BTRFS + Snapper makes automating system snapshots and updates so care-free that it almost feels wrong. 😅

With proper partitioning and backup strategies deployed during setup an admin could inexorably hose the OS and it wouldn't be a big deal. I can count on one hand the amount of times it's made sense to nuke a Linux machine. None of those incidents required I redeploy from scratch. Just re-install, log in, and all the data is exactly where it ought to be.

I've reguarly had to re-install Windows machines from scratch as if they were some eldritch beast whose rage was only calmed after the ritual sacrifice was complete.

I'm a bit late to the party. I was a network admin in another life and believe I can help out. I've skimmed existing conversations but not fully poured over them.

That said: I'd print the routing tables for the switches and firewall and review them. Considering firewall rules is sensible but it seems you've already done quite a bit of investigation there. It sounds like there is some vlan configuration missing. Like one of the switches doesn't have the vlan interface defined or named in its vlan database.

Review the routing tables and confirm who owns each vlan and what those networks are aware of. Also toggle your logging options on so you can review them and test with more info than pass/fail.

It very well may be a OPNsense firewall knowledge thing but I'm not convinced. If you're still working on this tomorrow I'd be happy to help root-cause the problem and fill in the gaps between RTFM and old YouTube videos. :)

The relaxed position of mammalian eyelids leaves them open. Muscles must contract for the eyes to be shut. Dead creatures cannot contract their muscles so their eyes remain open after they die.

You cannot shut their eyes for them by closing their eyes with your hand. Morticians place contacts in cadaver's eyes while preparing the body for a wake. Those contacts grip the inside of the eyelids so that they remain closed.

This is why some cultures have funerary traditions in which objects are placed over the eyes.

TL;DR: you and your loved ones won't close their eyes when they die.

One of the reasons is flow control. You want to be able to move a lot of water slowly until it's where you want it. Many small inlets distributed along the surface is a simple and effective method. I'm sure achieving the design you're speculating on is possible but it would be more complex and expensive for that design to reliably achieve similar goals/metrics.

Permeable pavements like pervious concrete and porous asphalt allow some of what you're interested in without requiring a reinvention of the wheel.

I'm not a doctor.

This still sounds like depression. It's a depression I'm familiar with. It doesn't feel as heavy. Life doesn't lack color. It just doesn't seem any part is as satisfying as it ought to be.

My go-to tactic is to give myself some space to process and then go do free low-stakes things outside the norm. Go to a museum. Walk around a mall. Find the schedule for a local sports league and go watch a game. Visit a local library and see what you can volunteer to help with.

Entertainment isn't enough. We need connection with the world outside of ourselves. Finding ways to engage satisfying that need that aren't taxing is a good first step.

Are you able to translate? I searched around a bit but can't make heads or tails of it.

I've tried a few extracts. Blending with other flavors they're pretty good. Solo is hit or miss. Real vanilla bean extract is excellent (if one likes vanilla) but ones found on the same store shelf which use vanillin are... Unpleasant.

I've had some success using bitters as well. Angostura makes an orange bitters that mixes well with the oooflavors cream soda flavoring. It's like a creamsicle's older brother turned into a fizzy water. That one gets a nice lift from a bit of honey or agave but doesn't require it.

Check out One On One Flavors. They sell water soluble and oil soluble flavors.

A few years ago I bought a variety of the water soluble flavors for making flavored sparkling water at home. I've enjoyed most of my choices and the few I don't care for are still interesting (and useful for cocktail experiments).

Some of the cola flavorings are fine as-is. Some of them rely on a bit of sweetness to taste like they should.

Am I correct in understand your central question is "what's the practical impact"?

If so then I think it's a good theme for conversation. I've seen suggestions that "death of the artist" applies here. I've also seen "software is apolitical" and similar. While these are valid discussions in their own right: they miss the point.

Using anything created by people whose public speech is actively and consistently attempting to rhetorically enhance their political views implies acceptance or endorsement of those views. It's a kind of identity politics not dissimilar in concept from brand identity.

What is and is not culturally acceptable is (in part) determined by norms established via association with such identities and the credibility-enhancing displays affirming those associations.

Using Omarchy suggests DHH's political views are acceptable. It doesn't matter how much creedance one gives this idea or how much impact it may have. The "Nazi dinner party" principal applies regardless.

That doesn't sound insensitive. It sounds honest.

Much around death is shockingly mundane. For every heaving grief I know there are dozens of petty ones riding its coattails. All of them dull and common. I think that's healthy to recognize.
