Sorry, I just saw your response. It is tough on HN to follow up. Email me at geekamja@gmail.com. I am not a US citizen though, I just work here on a visa. However, the whole process of Permanent residency is so long and slavish.

Not very happy with this but I have 2 (1T) hard drives which I mirror via rsync and back up on those. I have 1 (1T) hard drive at work, to have an off-site backup. Plan to use Arq for important files to back on Glacier. I'd change the

Honest question from a non-citizen about this line "But he is fighting against very powerful lobbyists..." I do not understand lobbying? Is it a euphemism about bribing a bunch of politicians? If yes, then why isn't it illega
