I live in a desert as well and this has been on my mind a lot lately. Planning to move as soon as I have the means. Until then we just have to try our best to use as little as we can without living in complete misery.

"What do people come to Twitter for? Ah yes, long-form content."

As someone who works at a venue with an exclusive arrangement with them, unfortunately being free of them means not going to any shows. They have an absolute stranglehold on the industry, at least in North America, and it would bring me significant joy to see them destroyed. They are no better to work with internally than they are externally.

but stop at equality for everyone, not suppression of those you may disagree with

Equality for everyone requires the suppression of those who would take away that equality, otherwise you eventually lose equality for everyone. This is similar to how maximizing freedom for everyone requires restricting your individual freedom to harm others, because in doing so you remove their freedoms. Your individual freedom is less, but the total amount of freedom in the system is greater for it.

Furthermore, it is not a moral failing, or even a difficult moral quandary, to suppress people for their actions and choices. We do it all the time to murderers and other criminals, or even people who don't shower. This can be done in multiple ways, including ways that do not involve state power. We frequently use social means to suppress people, for good or bad. A society simply works that way. And if they don't like it, they can simply choose to stop trying to take away equality; I cannot similarly choose to stop being the kind of person they want to take equality away from.

To protect equality we must win every fight; to lose it, they need only win once. Everybody is protected by equality so long as they believe in it. I do not believe that those who do not believe in equality should be extended its benefits, for they will seek to destroy it from within like a parasite.

Have you set it up per https://asus-linux.org? These guys do amazing work to make ASUS laptops feel like first class citizens on Linux in both kernel patches and software. Strongly recommend, only takes a few minutes on Fedora if you're already installed and up to date. You should be able to get working Optimus and less GPU issues.

Can't help ya with Destiny though, they're just jerks.

They didn't say we can stop it at our individual points of consumption. They explicitly mentioned policy. People need to be willing to support policy that will drastically change their own lives, likely in ways they don't even realize, and be ready to live with that. Otherwise pretty soon we won't be living with much at all.

I just wanna know what exactly you think a tankie is

You can absolutely attach each VM and even the host to separate NICs which each connect back to the switch and has its own VLAN. You can also attach everything to one NIC and just use a virtual bridge(s) on the host to connect everything. Or any combination therein. You have complete freedom on how you want to do it to suit your needs. How this is done depends on what you're using on the host for a hypervisor though, so I can't give you exact directions.

One thing I should have thought of before; if two NICs are on one single PCI card, you probably can't pass them through to the VM independent of one another. So that would limit you to doing virtual networking if you want to split them.

Having tried both, I found it far easier and less troublesome to just add a PCI passthrough than it is to worry about managing the network both on the host and in the VM. As long as FreeBSD supports the driver, I strongly recommend passthrough vs virtualized NICs.

Yeah, this is perfectly doable. I ran a very similar setup for a while. I'd recommend passing one of the NICs directly through to the VM and using one for the host to keep it simple, but you can also virtualize the networking if you need something more complex. If you do pass through a single NIC, you'll need a switch capable of handling VLANs and a bit of knowledge on how to set up what's called a "router on a stick" with everything trunked over one connection and only separated by VLANs.

Keep in mind, while this is a great way to save resources, it also means these systems are sharing resources. If you need to reboot, you're taking everything down. If you have other users, that might be annoying for everyone involved.

Ah, but the libs are in my computer, which means I own the libs. Checkmate.

I literally didn't put it together that it was FS-Tab until a couple years ago when I was setting up an encrypted drive manually in /etc/crypttab, something I had done many times before, when it finally clicked.

I've used Linux heavily for about 15 years.
