In my experience, it's mostly been the "You're one of the good ones!" type of racist that gets sucked in and consider it reasonable.
As in, without some seed of racism/misogyny/etc that propaganda fertilizer would mean nothing.
But that's my experience with magats I know.
I've got a small fleet of tmm's, so HA is just practical for me, but yeah that works to with a single machine. Especially if you were sharing desktop use on it.
Proxmox is a server OS based on Debian which is oriented on running virtual machines and Linux containers.
The physical server runs proxmox. The services can all be individual containers (LXC's).
Adding to the number of servers (and migrating containers later) is a benefit of Proxmox, since you can buy another PC to be a server later, and easily expand as you go.
Proxmox.
Each service becomes an LXC. Docker containers can be migrated to LXC, or be contained within an LXC dedicated to docker.
Running out of processing power? Add another server, add to a cluster, and migrate services (LXC or VM) over.
Having run Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, slack, even Oracle Linux - Proxmox is what I run for myself (and some clients).
I don't expect them to, just noting there are still new ones out there.
And while something new is being developed/tested, having a metric fuck ton of backup floppies isn't the worst idea.
You can grab a 10 pack of DS, HD 5.25" on Amazon for $30 apparently
Ehhhhh...
Could be both.
That's the reaction here though.
Not the technology, the lack of oversight. I didn't see any mention of an oversight board or review panel, repercussions for abuse, etc.
Which with any technology, and the clear history of exactly the issues you've noted, is an absolute requirement imo.
Great tech and approach. Guaranteed to be used correctly in some cases, and massively abused in others. Without policy revisions to address those abuses, it's a potentially very frightening technology in police hands.
I don't believe anyone said anything about banning anything.
Oh 100% it's better than high speed chases.
And given the history of basically every police force throughout the United States, guaranteed to be misused and abused as well.
A focused mic and quiet room beats all the noise suppression algorithms you can apply.
