  • God I hate this click air partial truth bullshit.

    A reminder, since it is cut off in the image… That comment from her is from 2019. A lot can happen in 6 years to change a person’s mental state. COVID for instance happened after that comment was made.

    Not to mention she was apparently in a bad bus accident a month ago.

    On Sunday, March 30, Virginia said on Instagram that she was in the hospital and near death after the car in which she was riding on March 24 was struck by a school bus going more than 49 mph.
    “I’ve gone into kidney renal failure," she wrote next to a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed, with her face covered in bruises. "They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.”

    And she recently came forward about her husband allegedly abusing her. Much more likely he did something than anything related to Epstein.

    In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Virginia said, “I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, who abused and trafficked me. But I was unable to escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently. After my husband’s latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent.”

    Assuming that’s even accurate, because her husband has recently gotten a restraining order against her.

    Robert recently filed a family violence restraining order against her, alleging that she had become violent with him, they say.

    So this is far from a clear case, and trying to claim this is in any way related to Epstein means ignoring a ton of other shit.



  • To be fair, that was also 6 years ago. A lot can happen in 6 years. That was pre-COVID for instance. I think just about everyone can say we’re in a totally different place now than we were then, even without the Epstein aspect.

    That being said, I always have pause when there’s any sort of whistleblower or accuser of a powerful individual that commits suicide. Even if the suicide itself is accurate and clearly intentional, the circumstances surrounding it are always murky and questionable. Especially questions of threats and coercion leading up to it.










  • Much more likely is that it never existed. All the “savings” are programs that already paid out, or have contract penalties for early termination, were lies based on misunderstanding how the programs worked like tax rebates being counted as money already paid, etc.

    DOGE has already had to walk back savings claims multiple times when it’s pointed out publicly that they can’t do basic math or know how the systems work to base their inflated numbers on.





  • I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

    But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.
