- Comment on Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned. 1 week ago:
Best way I could come up representing what i believe OP may have been talking about.
Think of the top small floating line as the mouse pointer, and the black line at the bottom as the screen where the “content” is. The shadow of the floating pointer is what actually interacts with the screen.
- Comment on Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned. 1 week ago:
Good take, I vote the mouse crusor on screen is just thick.
Thus there is no “misalignment” at the pointer tip and the screen or shadow “below” the mouse crusor.

- Comment on Need suggestions for setting up backups between a local and remote server 1 week ago:
No worries, also just to let you know. I have a TrueNAS and a unraid server.
The TrueNAS server has a Unraid samba share mounted. Within TrueNAS you setup a pull task where it copies files from your remote system to keep the directory in sync. Any changes on my unraid samba share are backed up to my TrueNAS share on a predetermined schedule.
You might want to look into the pull task on your TrueNAS which will be a lot easier then trying to push files from your OpenMediavault.

- Comment on Need suggestions for setting up backups between a local and remote server 1 week ago:
If both servers are running TrueNAS (scale or core) the best way to backup a TrueNAS system to another is by using zfs replication.

Video to get you started. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gKZOAL7yeE
You could also do the following.
-
Setup site2site VPN connection of your choosing. I would suggest IPSEC.
-
Temporary do the setup of the secondary TrueNAS at Site 1 unless you are sure your Site 2 is good.
-
Configure the second TrueNAS to Pull data from the primary unit. FYI, pull configuration uses it’s own login credentials is a higher level of security.
-
Migrate the second TrueNas unit to the site 2. This way you aren’t diagnosing both the Pull config and VPN settings at the same time.

- Comment on 2,300-year-old sword with swastikas unearthed at necropolis in France 1 week ago:
In case anyone does not know.
The swastika is an ancient symbol that was used in many different cultures for at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler made it the centerpiece of the Nazi flag.
To this day, it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.

Awesome thanks for the confirmation
- Comment on 8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs 2 weeks ago:
This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.
Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
What about search engines? These provide links as well.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Just a FYI, Canadian news agencies wanted social platforms like Facebook to pay for linking to their news articles.
The argument from Canadian news agencies was that by social platforms sharing links on their social platforms, social platforms were directly increasing their sites user traffic and benefiting with increased ad revenue. News agencies argued this decreased their own ad revenue by decrease site traffic.
Most people know a link directs a individual to the original site of the content. Since Facebook and other social sites did not want to pay a link fee they simply had chosen to remove links to Canadian news sites (as requested)
By removing links to these sites on social platforms like Facebook, news agencies decreased their surface area of exposure. Thus news agencies decreased the amount of individuals being directed to their site and news articles.
Simply put, Canadian news agencies wanted their cake and eat it too.
Now search engine like Google search for example were exempt from this mandate because they only link to the article or external site. The irony in this is real.
Obviously sites like Facebook “condensing a news article automatically” and presenting it on their own site, without a user needing to navigate away from Facebook as a example is a different issue and a valid point.
Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

Maybe location tracking from Google maps giving a date when the car was driven and where, with a simple excel of distances calculated and tallied up for a given month or two.
If the owner had a photo of the dash with the distance reported a few months earlier start there to see if the report distance matches what the excel table totals up.

- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 4 weeks ago:
Yes, technically correct and I am not disputing your points.
But, we all know the cost of the tariff the local importer will need to pay the local government will be passed on to local consumers.
My distinction and argument is if the government said “we will increase taxes on all products at your local grocery store by 145℅” people would flip. But when the wording become we will tariff “other countries” people forget who actually pays that tariff.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 4 weeks ago:
Its insane that a tax is also charged on top of the already applied tariff.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 4 weeks ago:
Hopefully gamers get together and protest Trump out of office for artificially bumping up the costs of goods.
Tarrifs = Tax
A tax that working people pay, in the country that set the tarriff.

Thanks Trump for adding a 145% “tax” on my electronics. How am I supposed to afford anything now!?
Guess I may as well just go protest instead.

The Orvil did a episode on that where they found a two dimensional universe with life in it. The bad part, three dimensional life cannot exist in two dimensions with a digestive track, it gets split into two parts.
I can’t imagine a forth, fifth, or sixth dimension or how a three dimensional being could survive it.
- Comment on Interesting logic 4 weeks ago:
Well put, this was my training of thought as well.
As a analogy, our body is the Universe. Our fingernails (the moon) do not experience themselves or have any awareness of their own existence. Our mind (a living thing) knows and experiences our fingernails and is aware of its own existence.
