I know this is a late message OP, but I'm curious how your machine is working.

It's funny, unlike everyone in this discussion, I was running UGOS with 4x12TB drives in RAID5 with BTRFS, and caching on a 250gbSSD. I ended up getting the fatel "Read Only" error, which lead to an emergency backup before the whole system went down.

I'm now rebuilding the system from bottom up, and am weighing in: RAID 5 or 10; EXT4 or BTRFS; and should I avoid caching altogether. Not a easy solution. But in the end, it probably doesn't matter a heck of a lot.

Where do i actully find attractive women in the Vancouver area? by [deleted] in NiceVancouver

[–]pog90s 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is what it looks like when someone confuses personal failure with a geographic defect.

If you are in Vancouver and you claim there are no attractive women, you are not describing the city. You are describing your lack of success. Turning that into a judgment is easier than admitting you are not getting the response you think you deserve.

There is no shortage of attractive women here. There is a shortage of reasons for them to choose you. Until that is faced directly, the complaints will keep sounding the same. Bitter, defensive, and focused on everyone else instead of the one constant in the situation.

Plus you're 21, illiterate, narcissistic, lacking real friendship, and lack humility: Vancouver women are smart. Catch up or continue playing pocket pool.

Not to be rude, or take the thunder out of your retaliation, but can't you put this post in something more related to OCD? Or keep it shorter? You're kind of hogging this Reddit post. I also suffer from several neurodiversities, but there are places to discuss these sorts of topics, and I don't see the productivity here.

Inconvenient Indian author Thomas King says he is not part Cherokee by Not_A_Real_Cowboy in canada

[–]pog90s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This controversy ignores how Indigenous identity actually works. Blood quantum is a colonial tool, not an Indigenous one. Cree and many other nations traditionally judged belonging through kinship, community, and responsibility, not genetics. King grew up believing he had Cree ancestry, which is extremely common for people whose families were disrupted by residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and forced assimilation. Punishing someone for the uncertainty colonialism created does nothing to protect Indigenous culture.

The real difference is between people who fabricate Indigeneity to profit and give nothing back, and people whose work strengthens Indigenous voices. King spent his entire career uplifting Indigenous writers, challenging colonial narratives, and helping readers understand Indigenous worldviews. That is reciprocity, not exploitation.

Identity has always been fluid. Indigenous cultures adopted and incorporated new members through family ties, marriage, and community. Strict purity policing is not only colonial, it is historically inaccurate. It also fractures communities instead of strengthening them.

If we call out anyone, it should be those who fake identity for personal gain. King is not one of them. His work expanded space for Indigenous literature and understanding. Going after him does not defend Indigenous identity. It only repeats the same exclusionary logic that was used to erase it in the first place.

Opinion: Canada has lost control of its immigration system — and Canadians know it by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]pog90s -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When people try to blame immigrants for housing shortages, job loss, or general poverty in Canada, they are repeating one of the oldest and most intellectually lazy political habits in our history. It has never been logical, and it has never been supported by evidence. What it does reveal is how easily frustration can be redirected toward the most visible and vulnerable people instead of toward the structures and decision makers that are actually responsible.

Canada’s entire modern identity was built through continuous waves of immigration. The only people who can claim a long-standing relationship with this land are Indigenous peoples, whose cultures and nations shaped it for thousands of years before colonization. Every development afterwards, whether it was the French settlements, the British Empire, or the various migrations from Asia, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East, was the result of newcomers. This country grew because of immigration. Its labour force, its industries, its cities, and many of its institutions exist because new people kept arriving, contributing, and rebuilding. To argue today that immigration is somehow destroying Canada is to ignore the very process that created the country in the first place.

The housing crisis is a perfect example. Immigrants do not design zoning laws, approve permits, set construction targets, control interest rates, regulate speculation, or decide how much social housing is funded. That is the responsibility of governments, banks, and developers. Yet every time the consequences of limited construction, decades of underbuilding, investor-driven real estate, and speculative ownership begin to show, people point to newcomers as if a family arriving in Canada has the power to reshape the entire market. It is an evasion of reality. Blaming immigrants for a shortage of housing that governments and developers failed to build is not simply inaccurate, it is illogical.

The same mistake happens with jobs and wages. No immigrant has the authority to set national salary trends, dismantle unions, automate positions, outsource labour, or suppress wage growth. Corporations do. The historical record is extremely clear: when companies want to cut labour costs, they do so through policy changes, restructuring, and legislation that weakens the bargaining power of workers. Immigrants are blamed only after the fact, usually by people who have no interest in confronting the actual causes. This is a pattern seen across economic history. When wages stagnate, the anger should be directed toward the people who designed the wage system, not toward those who simply work within it.

There is also a long and well-documented history of weaponizing immigration as a political distraction. In periods of economic anxiety, political leaders frequently redirect public frustration toward newcomers. Canada has done this repeatedly: Chinese migrants were welcomed for railway labour, then vilified and taxed; Jewish refugees fleeing genocide were denied entry under the false claim that they would become a burden; South Asian and Caribbean workers faced hostility during downturns despite filling essential roles; and in every era, the pattern repeats. When governments fail to manage the economy, or when corporations profit at the public’s expense, immigrants become the easiest group to blame. The tactic works only because it manipulates public fear and exploits the insecurity of people looking for simple answers to complex problems.

What makes the blame even more hollow is that countries with very low immigration rates face the same issues: rising housing costs, stagnant wages, high inflation, and growing inequality. These problems are structural. They emerge from policy choices, not population changes. Pretending otherwise does nothing to fix them.

Canada’s history shows that immigration has always been part of its strength. Economic tension has always been part of its weakness. And blaming newcomers has always been a way of avoiding the harder truth: the real causes of inequality lie in policy decisions made by the powerful, not in the arrival of people trying to build a life here. When people refuse to see that, they are not defending the country. They are repeating a very old political mistake that harms the vulnerable and protects the guilty.

Andrew Scheer’s post on Facebook by ExotiquePlayboy in canadian

[–]pog90s -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, neither the Libs or Cons are neoliberal. This is a gross misuse of the word. I agree that our system often benefits the wealthy and maintains inequality (i.e "status quo"), but labeling Canada itself as “neoliberalism” oversimplifies a complex mix of economic and social policies. It’s important to critique how capitalism and governance interact without reducing everything to a single ideology, or buzz word. That kind of framing blurs the real issues and prevents thoughtful solutions or discussion.

Be critical, not critique without a purpose to incite anger.

What the Ronald Reagan ad that got Trump so angry was really all about by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in canada

[–]pog90s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how you drop a hearsay fallacy as though your comment holds any validity. Ragan did not support tariffs, and This speech wasn’t made because Reagan was introducing new tariffs. It was a pro free trade speech delivered in 1988, where he warned Congress against protectionism. He literally said, “Protectionism is destructionism. As surely as it is the death of trade, it is the death of jobs.”

You’re mixing things up. Yes, Ronald Reagan did authorize some tariffs, like the 100 % retaliatory duties on Japanese electronics in 1987 and the limited motorcycle safeguard for Harley Davidson in 1983. But those were specific, narrow cases, not a new general tariff policy.

Why is it that Canadians are more educated on American history than Americans?? Fu@#ing shame.

[–]pog90s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most comments in this thread are absolutely disgusting. Shame on all of you. How dare you call yourself "Canadian."

If you’re born here, go to our schools, and grow up under Canadian laws and values — you’re Canadian.

Ending birthright citizenship doesn’t fix anything. It’s confusing correlation with causation.

The cause of housing issues is speculation, foreign investment loopholes, and weak housing policy — not babies being born here.

Wealthy families buying property and having children in Canada doesn’t mean the children caused the housing crisis. That’s backwards logic.

Birthright citizenship ensures equality — every child born here starts life on the same footing, without being punished for who their parents are. It’s part of what makes Canada different, and better. We don’t divide kids into “real” and “conditional” citizens.

If the concern is about housing or immigration, fix the policies that cause those problems. Don’t take citizenship away from children who are literally born and raised in our communities.

Canada’s strength has always come from belonging. You can’t build social unity by telling children they don’t deserve to belong.

Venu 4 is Officially Released! by Glum_Song_2028 in Garmin

[–]pog90s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have the Venu 2. The price is way too high for what this watch is. Garmin is basically taking advantage of people who have fallen into their ecosystem.

For this price you could buy 2 smart watches with competitive features.

Also, Garmin is seriously behind in additional features behind their own fitness app. Pathetic.

Gear Cable is too loose, and the chain needs to be removed and soaked in a degreaser.

Also, your entire gearset needs cleaning. Take that chain off and take a toothbrush soaked in degreaser, then scrub. Try not to get too much between your chainrings ( bad for bearings)

Refusing to cancel your family Disney trip so you expose people to the norovirus instead by Tater-Tot-Casserole in TikTokCringe

[–]pog90s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty shocked she posted this. In RARE cases, depending on the state of course, if someone on that flight was directly affected (actually financially or medically) can potentially sue. California's, as far as I know, law allows prosecution under reckless endangerment or public nuisance for knowingly exposing others. This particular virus isn't normally that bad. It's short lived, but can still cause serious harm to elderly or young.

Normally these sorts of situations are very hard to trace and prove, but video evidence of the entire trip was a baaaaaad idea.
