I think it's mostly the third. There's lots of escapism readily and effectively available, both practical and ideological.

I think the oppressors just got too good at their job, in a way.

[Beginner] Proxmox & storage configuration by dwindling7373 in c/[email protected]

I was hoping for some Proxmox magic dynamic allocation of resources, CPU cores and RAM between the two VMs. I have 16Gb RAM anyway so I should have plenty...

I guess I'll play around starting from those much needed USB to SATA powered cables.

There a dozens of us!

So I guess I can build a new VM and this won't impact too heavily on my computational power (mostly Jellyfinn streaming 1080p stuff), correct?

Is there any way around the impending... running out of USB? Would a usb-C dongle be a nono?

Either way, thanks for the great answer.

[Beginner] Proxmox & storage configuration (feddit.it)

Hi,

I've been playing with a Dell mini PC (OptiPlex 7070) that I set up with Proxmox and a single Debian virtual machine that hosts a bunch of containers (mostly an *arr stack).

All the data resides on the single SSD that came with the machine, but I'm now satisfied with the whole ordeal and would like to migrate my storage from my PC to this solution.

What's the best approach software side? I have a bunch of HD in of varying size and age (therefore expected reliability) and I'd initially dedicate such storage to data I can 100% afford to lose (basically media).

I read I should avoid USB (even though my mini PC exposes a USB-C) for reliability, but on the other hand I'm not sure what other options I have that doesn't force me to buy a NAS or properly sized HD to install inside the machine...

Also, what's a good filesystem for my usecase?

Thank for any tips.

OpenAI Just Gave Away the Entire Game by dwindling7373 in c/[email protected]

Yes but also no, the whole appeal is tied to her brand (her public image x the character HER), unlike Woody who is an original creation.

It's like doing a commercial using a lookalike dressed like the original guy and pretending that's a completely different actor.

POP_OS: Stam VAC Anti-cheat prevents me from playing DOTA2 (feddit.it)

I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!

As a person that learn stuff through memes: funny but not really. The concept of Inertia was in discussion for a long long time before Newton: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Inertia?lang=en

I'm pretty sure the whole "can be seen from space" is wrong.

Noob Question: Is It safe to send newborn photos through WhatsApp? If it's not, why? by dwindling7373 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 79 points 6 months ago

Noob answer? No, because the other party will likely store them in unsafe manner and send it through Facebook Messenger to that Aunt of theirs.

Why would you need a researcher for that? This is not some ancient history or something...

[Beginner] Importing /home from different Distro (Manjaro to Pop_OS) (feddit.it)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I had a dual boot I rarely used because reasons, one of them being that it was Manjaro and it kinda sort of borked itself and evey time I upgraded it asked me to make choices I had no idea what they meant.

I wanted to give Pop_OS a try so I went and nuked the Manjaro and set up the boot, root and swap of Pop_OS in its place.

Point is, I had the /home of Manjaro on a different location (The OS is on a SSD shared with windows and I put /home on a HD). I did not point Pop_OS to it at setup for fear of it being nuked (Will it nuke it? If not I guess I can do a new install and point it there?)

Can I link Pop_OS home to the old Manjaro home or do I need to take care of something (format it, remove some specific folder...).

I ask because I convinced myself the matter was trivial, but in the process of making sure the /home of Pop_OS was empty I ended up with a system hang and my passwords (both user AND root) being rejected and I had to reinstall the whole thing, so maybe there's more to /home than just a bunch of data?

Thanks!
