Peace cannot be achieved by bad example, as our sole divine ability to discriminate will ultimately reject it. Peace cannot be imposed, it can only be surrendered. God is discovered by differentiation & application, dividing our firmaments into true and false, persisting truth.

Turns out the Raspberry Pi 5 (RPI5) USB3 Controllers will crash when they reach their throughput limits and cannot be reenabled without a reboot. Fix is aimed for Kernel 6.7, which will be in April... as such, don't do anything heavy on USB until then. github.com/raspberrypi/li…
