I have frigate installed on my SSD with records storing in my HDD ZFS pool which works just fine. I just have the storage pool set as a mount point for the frigate LXC.

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

Except for the fact that these leaders are incarcerated alongside the gang members and freely allowed to talk to them as per the agreement. There's no reason for them to jeopardize such a sweet gig to protect some strangers from the US. In fact they probably despise these people as they see them as traitors or potential rivals, so again why would they care?

All that aside, this is the same exact tactic Mexico tried with the cartels 15+ years ago, stop the killing and we'll be lax on enforcement, and it blew up in their face before long. The same will happen in El Salvador too.

The deal is specifically made with these gang leaders to give them special privileges, so what are you talking about that "Bukele isn't living up to" with regard to the treatment of US detainees? They're a completely separate group that have made no deal with Bukele because they're not El Salvadorian gang members.

The other user responded with an actual quote about the situation and it only discusses special treatment for gang leaders like cellphones, prostitutes, and cash payments to gang leaders for their cooperation. This seems like a reasonable thing for these gangs to agree to because they're gaining all the benefits.

What still doesn't make sense is why these gangs would blow up this agreement just because some prisoners from the US are being killed or mistreated. It's not as if the leaders of some of the most violent gangs in the world are human rights advocates. It all just feels like disinformation from this user in order to con people here into complacency and thinking things aren't quite that bad for the people being illegally held there by the US.

Those gang leaders have direct and unmonitored access to the outside world so why would anyone need to question their treatment when they have the ability to tell everyone exactly how they are being treated? Again, why would they give two shits about how some dudes from the US are being treated when they're the ones enjoying all the privileges?

That quote is sparkly different from your summary. It states that gang leaders get special privileges like prostitutes and the ability to meet with their underlings in order to continue running the gang, along with government funding for the gang. What it doesn't say is that conditions for rank and file prisoners have improved, nor does it state that prisoner conditions have improved nationwide. The quote actually makes sense why they would agree to this, but your assertions here don't.

Do you really think some MS-13 gang leader is going to give up his only access to running the gang, cash payments from the government, and a steady stream of prostitutes because some prisoner from the US is being mistreated or killed? I find that pretty far-fetched.

This really reeks of disinformation in order to trick people into thinking things aren't so bad in CECOT and complacency in that there's some sort of safety valve that will automatically keep things from deteriorating into a straight up Nazi concentration camp.

Bukele made agreements with the leaders of all the major gangs in El Salvador to get them to reduce violent crime. In exchange he gave some money and concessions as to how prisoners would be treated. If it comes out that prisoners are dying in CECOT, the gangs are going to treat that as Bukele breaking their agreement and violent crime will shoot up.

This agreement makes no sense. Nobody ever leaves CECOT alive so what are these gangs supposedly gaining by agreeing to this?

Unless things have changed in the last couple days, they announced Sunday that they were removing the exemption on computers and electronic devices that was announced last Friday.

There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.

People are lazy as fuck and will do all kinds of things that surprise you especially when they become complacent.

It mentions UV, so possibly a resin printer with some method of also depositing the resin onto the object surface before curing it with UV.

Good luck. I've heard that it's almost impossible to host your own email now because companies like Google will blacklist it and send all your emails to your recipient's trash instead of their inbox.
