  • So, an actual answer if you’re interested.

    No, the President does not have the power to remove him. When the Post Office was reformed into USPS in the 1970’s, the selection of Postmaster General is made by the Board of Governors of the Postal Service. These board members have 7 year terms, and are appointed by the President, with Senate approval.

    The Postmaster General has no fixed term, and serves until the Board decides otherwise.

    There are 9 members of the Board, and no more than 5 can be from the same party. The Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General are also voting members of the Board, though there are some things they can’t vote on.

    Removing requires an absolute majority - so even though a quorum is 6, there needs to be 5 votes to remove DeJoy.

    No member of the Board can serve more than 2 terms, and they can’t be removed without a gross violation - misconduct for example.

    So despite the spongebob meme reference reply near mine, no, Biden can’t just remove DeJoy.









  • OK, so what you probably won’t get much out of would be load balancing knowledge, from your description the CPU far outpaces everything else you have running services today. To get a good handle on that sort of thing, its handy to have comparable hardware for each node.

    But the CPU is more than enough for most general task services, so yeah that will do fine. In terms of the GPU, yes, that will work for AI tasks as far as I know, most of the hardware I’m using for that is work stuff I get my hands on, so I couldn’t tell you much about the performance of the 3070 specifically, and I doubt a 6000 Ada as a reference w9uld be helpful, so maybe others can chime in on that aspect.

    Since its mostly for learning, yeah, go for it. If you want to run i5 24x7, I’d probably want to separate out some of that CPU from that PSU purely for power management/cost to run, but yes its more than adequate for most services you’d throw on there.

    Most of the servers I’m running are using a CPU that came out about 5 years before that Ryzen, but they are also lower wattage systems. Since they dont need a ton of CPU at all times, this is more the ideal for continually running home services, but not the only way to do it.

    So build away and enjoy







  • #3 is the route I’m going.

    Bigscreen is still pretty rough though, I’m trying to see if I can resolve some open issues to submit back to resolve, but in the meantime I’m going to start playing with flex launcher - https://complexlogic.github.io/flex-launcher/

    Its likely to be the way I go as of now.

    Lutris to be a gaming interface (retro games and Roms), jellyfin for movies/shows/music, gcompris for some kids educational stuff, etc.

    I want to figure out a remote that I like and get some CEC testing done, may look towards using my homeassistant to act as a control system if its a pain (and most CEC is implemented poorly IMO).

    But I’m done with stuff like Chromecast, rokus, etc.





  • If you can map a network drive (very east fstab edit BTW), then yes, its a great way to go.

    That’s what I do, I have two 5-bay NASs, both use all 4 uplinks (LAG) to my switch, and my media server is an LXC on an 8th gen intel, with GPU passthrough.

    If you reboot your nas, you may need to reconnect from the server. If you reboot your server, you dont have to do anything since its connecting when it starts up. If you end up needing more space, you just mount that new NAS alongside it.

    To me its the better approach.
