When a man balds at a young age, we say 'they were still shaving his mom when he was born'
Pretty brutal, eh ?

Debian user here. All people have a doorkey. Some people have an alarm system as well. Infosec is about ' what do you have and what do you know '. So in principle TPM is a defencible argument. You should absolutely bail from MS products for different reasons. Like privacy. Your PC isn't yours anymore. Your NPU will reduce THEIR costs. Etc.
Don't enter Linux thinking its a drop in replacement. Go slow and do 'ships in the night'. Move data over to the new ship. Start embracing OSS on windows, it'll be familiar when you finally bail. G luck.
Where I live we have square kilometers of american GI's that liberated europe. As a first in human history victors did not loot or rape. Instead they scrambled to be home by christmas. Europe is forever indebted to these men and the people that led them.
If your country is a financial sovereign -ie has a monopoly over its currency - then taxation's only role is to create demand for that currency. If you don't pay taxes in the currency of your sovereign, it will throw you in jail. The concept of 'my tax dollar pays for your salary, Officer' is nonsense on a Federal level. The government democratically decides what projects it will finance, and the central bank pays the invoices thereof, with money it creates from thin air. People/companies accept the governments money for their service because they are assured the govenment will accept their taxpayments in the same currency.. That is how money enters the system, the sovereign creates it. But on a State level though 'my tax dollar' is very real, coz the State is not a financial sovereign! While a State can go broke a finan sovereign can never accrue real debt in its own coin unless it chooses so. To pay interest to the financial sector, or pay into pension funds. A budget deficit is actually wealth that a sovereign injects into its society not sth that needs paying back.
It's called MMT and you should study it.
NeoClassics say : the world has infinte resources, but.. there's not enough money. We have to get the money FIRST!!!
MMT says the inverse: money is created on 12 magic computers as Elon learned, thats easy. The hard part is finding the real resources. If they're scarce, what are our priorities as a demicracy ? That's the better question!
On federal level the deficit is actually the sum of wealth the US gov injects/ed into its economy. There is no such thing as 'my taxdollar' on fed level. The gov proposes policy, congress ok's it and FedRes pays the bills. Through creation of new money from the 12 magic computers Elon discovered during his doge tenure.
Not so on state level: states have no monopoly over a currency and have to hold up their own pants or go bankrupt. 'My taxdollar' absolutely applies on state level.

The US is a financial sovereign. It has the monopoly over its currency: You don't need the rich ! Govments within a financial sovereign can decide/agree in congress to pay for things they want with the only limit being that the thing/service is available in that currency. It's called MMT, as american as apple pie, and no MMT is not communist.
Why do the rich hate MMT? Because they get paid risk free interest by offering the guvment their money.
Thats a lot of money. I just bought a HP elitedesk g3 800 midtower for €82, incl psu but without cpu, from a local refurb site. Slightly dented but bios updated to this years version and cleaned.. From ebay a €45 i5-7400 for 4c/4t as it can decode hevc 10bit for jellyfin. 32gig ram from ebay. 4 amazon SSDs I mounted in an icydock chassis that slots into the 5.25 bay. This is the expensive part, but its really clean and drives are ejectable like a rackserver. The chassis can hold 2 HDD for an additional zpool as well as an extra ssd. Also has an nvme slot for Proxmox OS and plenty of usb for Truenas style setups.
For €82 there is a lot of value in that chassis.
thanks for using Leebra!
