Anyone else using TrueNAS scale and have apps that won't update? I've never run into this before and a few apps won't update. As soon as I click update, they stop and that's it. Others have upgraded in the past but minio for instance, won't upgrade to 1.2.23

Correct 👍🏻.

I wanted to read the full 1,500+ page bill & speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that, here's my view: it's full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics. If Congress wants to get serious about government efficiency, they should VOTE NO. Keeping the government open until March 14 will cost ~$380BN by itself, but the true cost of this omnibus CR is far greater due to new spending. Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year: ~$130BN. Disaster relief: $100BN. Stimulus for farmers: $10BN. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement: $8BN. The proposal adds at least 65 cents of new spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending. The legislation will end up hurting many of the people it purports to help. Debt-fueled spending sprees may "feel good" today, but it's like showering cocaine on an addict: it's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will see more land sold to foreign buyers when taxes inevitably rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item in our national budget. Congress has known about this deadline since they created it in late September. There's no reason why this couldn't have gone through the standard process, instead of being rushed to a vote right before Congressmen want to go home for the holidays. The urgency is 100% manufactured & designed to avoid serious public debate.   The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill. There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” policy; renewal of the much-criticized "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate. We're grateful for DOGE's warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need a smaller & more streamlined federal government, but actions speak louder than words. This is an early test. The bill should fail.

We won. Kamala lost. My ask of Republicans: we’re done dunking on Harris/Biden/etc. My ask of Democrats: give Donald Trump a chance this time, to improve the lives of all Americans. And yes, that includes you.

Let’s do another exercise in discernment and examine the “Galactic Federation of Worlds” claim. I don’t pretend to know the entire truth, but I encourage everyone to always try to discern it. There is a benevolent collective of advanced beings for sure, but is it Galactic Federation? I don’t think so, and here is why: The first red flag is that I have never encountered the term “Galactic Federation” in sources that I consider to be predominantly STO (Service to Others/Service to One). Instead, there are only references to a “Confederation of Planets in Service to the One Creator”. Even though I’ve vetted these sources carefully, that’s still only my opinion. And it sounds similar anyway, so what’s the big deal? Turns out it is a big deal, if we examine the terminology: Federation: A political system where power is divided between a strong central government and individual states, each with its own but limited authority. Confederation: A union of sovereign states with a weak central authority, united for purposes of common action If you understand the fundamental difference between STO and STS (Service to Self), this is a deal breaker. STS aligns with central authority and has strict hierarchy, while STO operates through shared purpose and unity. This means that, at face value, given their own terms, Galactic Federation cannot be STO. This illustrates how closely we should pay attention and scrutinize every definition and claim. STS must reveal its intentions through symbolism or terminology. If you are not paying attention, then you become fair game. Pay attention. Another problem is that STO/STS distinction is not usually taught or explained in GF circles. This is a core spiritual concept alongside the Law of One, and it cannot be avoided. Perhaps teaching it might encourage too much discernment among the followers, risking the exposure of true intentions? Instead the conversation is dominated by starseeding, trusting the plan, explaining hundreds of different alien races, waiting for Ascension and sharing pictures of pretty Nordics. This is a distraction if it is not accompanied by authentic core spiritual teachings. And finally, the first and only government official who mentioned “Galactic Federation” was former Israeli space security chief Haim Eshed in 2020. He claimed that this group had been in contact with the U.S. and Israeli governments for years but were not ready to reveal their existence to humanity. A simple question - do you support what Israeli and the U.S. governments are doing now in the world? Who is trying to create a strong central (world) government? I will leave that for your own reflection without further comment. It’s all in plain sight, I’m not here to tell you what to think but simply to offer guidance, teach discernment and share the truth as I know it. The choice, as always, is yours.

A beautiful angelic-looking human race appears, calling themselves the “Galactic Federation”, the “Pleadians”, our ancestors, or any other name. They make a grand gesture and display of power (such as stopping a major war) and offer a “Star Trek future”, world peace or even ascension if we accept them and their terms. Would you immediately take the deal? If your answer is yes, you’ve almost certainly been scammed. Here’s why: The first advanced intelligence that declares itself openly to us is very likely to be deceptive. It doesn’t have to be “non-human”, it can appear as a human breakaway civilization from previous cycles, think of the Nordic types. Now, I don’t know the full truth, and you should always read with discernment. But I think it is wise to be skeptical of such gestures based on the nature of benevolent beings, in contrast to deceptive beings, or simply the dark forces. Or put it another way, Service to Others/Service to One (STO) vs Service to Self (STS) orientation. STO beings operate on aikido principles - using the force of the opponent against them by redirecting their energy. Logically, there’s no reason for genuinely positive beings to make the first move when the control system is crumbling as it is now. Pressure and desperation forces dramatic maneuvers from the deceivers, not from the forces that wish to bring balance to our realm. They act with long-term vision, not flashy gestures. The problem is that the majority is unaware of the malevolent forces that have manipulated humanity since ancient times. It is hard to discern under such conditions. They could take on any name or appearance they choose. Even if a genuinely positive “Galactic Federation” exists, they could masquerade as being part of it, when they're not. This deceptive force has caused so much suffering and chaos that it has set the stage perfectly for a “false rescue”. It’s a classic bait and switch - “bad cops” make our life almost unbearable, then the “good cops” arrive and offer a solution which we would never accept if we were not so oppressed, weakened and ignorant. Why did the governments turn against the people so visibly? Could it be that we’re being prepared for a dramatic ”way out”? However, I am not saying that everything is a deception, this is not the case. There is true benevolence helping and guiding us, as I’ve already mentioned. Maybe I am wrong and it could show itself first for some unlikely reason. All I’m saying is that it is unwise to accept any conditions before a period of reflection, discernment and healthy questioning of these entities. We should not jump without looking. Below are some tips which could help us discern between true STO and STS. I cannot predict every scenario, but multiple violations should definitely raise the red flag: - STO beings don’t impress or manipulate consent with grand displays of power or enticing “gifts.” Look for subtle, continuous support and guidance instead of grand and sudden promises of salvation. - STO doesn’t “destroy evil”, they allow them to destroy themselves if they don’t change their path. They deflect and redirect energy, remember aikido. - STO beings don’t offer “rewards” in exchange for compliance. They only help those who genuinely ask. - STO doesn’t separate people into “good” and “evil” camps, the balancing process of the Universe does it by itself. - STO is mostly non-interventional, possibly with rare exceptions when free will is about to be seriously abridged. Stopping or disabling nukes and demanding peace isn’t their method. - STO beings do not offer “false gifts,” especially technology. They recognize that the primary problem of humanity is spiritual, not technological. Is it wise to give a grenade to a child? This is what STS does though by dropping their “donations” for reverse engineering. - STO doesn’t promote passivity or “trusting the plan”, “waiting for the 5D” etc. Life is about lessons, and lessons are learned through applying knowledge through action. Consider who might promote teachings that tell us to sit back and wait, which effectively blocks the learning process of the soul. If you are waiting for the good guys to appear and save us, I am sorry to say, this is deception. - STO acts primarily through us. It must be our collective decision to wake up and demand peace and truth. Free will remains paramount. - STO beings welcome discernment and don’t discourage honest questioning. If these entities avoid or deflect questions about their motives, they are not benevolent. Keep these points in mind and sharpen your discernment. Meditate or pray, balance your energies and connect to the source, higher self or God. Our future is at stake. This is not the time for careless decisions and ignorance, the choices we make now will shape our future more than ever before. We must approach our choices with wisdom, clarity, and unwavering attention.
