Why would you trust your #data to the 'cloud'? Don't you know that #thecloud is a just a #fakename mostly for the servers of the #bigcompanies?
" #ZFS is commonly used by data hoarders, NAS lovers, and other geeks who prefer to put their trust in a redundant #storage system of their #own rather than the cloud."

“People who detest #prejudice, […] instead of trying to make differences go away, they accentuate them. How? By building group #identity. […] If you want prejudice to go away, don’t tell people to be proud of their identities. Instead, ask them to focus on our common humanity – the sense that our differences are ‘only skin-deep.’ If you must have a sense of identity, make it not proud but casual.”

Consider the following #horoscope text:
> At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary and reserved. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety, and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. Disciplined and controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. You have a great deal of unused capacity, which you have not turned to your advantage. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a strong need for other people to like you and for them to admire you.
