- Comment on Good file servers for Proxmox 2 weeks ago:
To add to this, here is a tutorial with video that goes into the permissions. One of the cockpit modules has had an update, so make sure you bump the version number.
- I had to make it a privileged container to get NFS working. If you only need SMB, unprivileged is fine.

I replaced a TrueNAS install with this and haven’t been happier. It was such a bloated resource hog for what an LXC and a podman/dockge install can do.
- Comment on Help me navigate the world of debloated/custom Windows 11 Installs 2 weeks ago:
If all they do is web browsing and office, why not try Linux Mint first? It’s not as big of a leap as it used to be.
- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 3 weeks ago:
Straight Debian with Cinnamon.
- Comment on The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS. 2 months ago:
I used to use brave before they were soured. Ther BAT token disappearing from my account was another nail in the coffin.
- Comment on Provider suggestion 2 months ago:
Racknerd has some pretty good discounts here and there.
- Comment on What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server? 2 months ago:
I’m running this way on one of my servers. It’s fine if you pass the entire HBA over (make sure it’s in IT mode for Proxmox).
Alternatively you can map each drive over by disk-by-id mappings as I’m doing on this one. I haven’t dealt with a drive failure yet, but from what I read it’s just a little bit of a headache to re-add the drives later. “Not recommended”, but ok if you know what you’re doing.
- Comment on File over App Philosophy 2 months ago:
It was an example. Lossless formats exist.
- Comment on File over App Philosophy 2 months ago:
Take it further. Convert all of your data into forward or simple formats. Don’t encode your images as gif, keep them raw. Store word docs as markdown. Don’t use proprietary formats (duh).
Linux will be around for a long time, which is convenient. Everything is a file, that counts, right?
Also be thankful for VMs and the push towards distroless containers.
- Comment on To the top 1% truly smart people the other 99% are dumb as a box of rocks. But exactly how fucking stupid is that 99% ? 2 months ago:
Magnus Carlsen isn’t good at astrophysicist. Just think about what that means for a little while.
- Comment on Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media 2 months ago:
It’s the capitalist system we’re born into. It’s time living in a cocoon where there magic products appear to guide you. Then one day you wake up and realizing they’ve been drinking your blood all this time. Open source might not lead to your perfect product, but it will be close, and mandatory profit seeking won’t turn the ecosystem hostile against the users. We leave that to the mods and server operators.
- Comment on Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. 2 months ago:
Yep, look up webhooks. Natively integrated.
- Comment on Waymo issued a recall after two robotaxis crashed into the same pickup truck 2 months ago:
It would have been a different article if two waymos decided to take a wrong turn off a cliff.
- Comment on Can you manage your house with a local, no-cloud voice assistant? Mostly, yes. 2 months ago:
True, but having the lights dim as you start a plex movie can get you laid.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 2 months ago:
I’m with you for the most part, but I’m slowly moving over to podman over docker for security and simplicity. LXC is convenient for proxmox, and you can make a golden snapshot, store your data and config in a bind mount, and replicate some of docker’s features. Lately, I run a privileged lxc with rootless podman running dockge. Seems to work well for now.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 2 months ago:
I’ve just learned about converting docker containers to lxc natively, so that’s my next project.
- Comment on You can remove or disable Windows 11 and 10's AI 'bloat' with new BloatynosyAI 2 months ago:
Just make the jump. I keep a cheap n100 box as a backup.
- Comment on Tech Used to Be Bleeding Edge, Now it’s Just Bleeding | After a decade of scandals and half-assed product launches, people are no longer buying the future Big Tech is selling. 3 months ago:
We thought that with the blackberry. We thought that with vacuum tubes. We that that with chip scaling.
Thinking that will make it true.
- Comment on Amazon finds $1B jackpot in its 100 million+ IPv4 address stockpile | The tech giant has cited ballooning costs associated with IPv4 addresses 3 months ago:
192.169.x.x will always be easier than fe80:x:x::x:x
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January 4 months ago:
Not just that, we don’t have enough lithium deposits atm to build enough lithium evs to last more than a few decades if we act smart (which we generally do not).
- Comment on Spotify doesn't make profit from music streaming, despite having over 400M monthly active users, because it pays two-thirds of all its revenue to the rights holders. 4 months ago:
She’s not the worst role model we’ve ever seen, so at least the world isn’t completely mad. I think her music is mediocre, and don’t understand the fanfare, but to each their own.
- Comment on Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist. 4 months ago:
You have a story in your head you’ve answered a question to. It has nothing to do with my comment.
- Comment on Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist. 4 months ago:
Women’s breast produce milk, which comes from procreation. That’s more sexual than a man’s non-functional nipples, even if slightly. Other animals don’t have enlarged breast like humans do. That points to them having an estrus function in addition to their biological function. Breast very well may be a hard-wired arousal point.

A horny teenage boy is a prime target for abuse. You may think it’s cultural, but you may also be wrong. Hormones are a helluva drug.
- Comment on Should I move to Docker? 5 months ago:
LXC with cloud unit and ansible on proxmox gives you docker features without the docker headache.
- Comment on A secret Google deal let Spotify completely bypass Android’s app store fees 5 months ago:
This micro-examples are a reminder that corruption is a part of every human system, no matter how perfect the design.
There will always be concertgoers cutting the unwatched fence to sneak in for free.
The only plausible solution is elective transparency. Either your company and financial metadata are available for independent third party review, and records retained as defined, or else you’re not a company.
Don’t ascribe to it, get boycotted.
- Comment on Google to weaken ad blockers on Chrome in a push for security 5 months ago:
Not same domain ads.
- Comment on Now that cars are like smartphones, we don’t really own them 5 months ago:
This is the end result of unchecked capitalism. The first tendency is for mass production as it concentrates labor wealth to an individual as incentive. The next stage is growth and monopolistic tendencies. As corruption sinks in we get collusion and anti-consumer practices like this.
In what universe does a person claim a territory the size of a city and everyone and their mother defends their right to restrict use of that land to people who have none. This is the same with any products produced from land materials (like cars). You essentially rent deteriorating objects (planned obsolescence) until you’re forced to rent the next model.
It’s wholly inefficient and generates so much waste that we’re now concerned about the air quality and sustainability of many natural resources. The laws are the problem, and those laws are written by lawyers who work for money. As a result, laws are pushed by the wealthy (politicians now included) to ensure that they never lose control. “Security (aka surveillance) and encryption laws are barrier #1 for organized change.
“You will own nothing and you will be happy.”
- Comment on TikTok permanently banned account for posting a few videos about the Israel- Palestine situation. 6 months ago:
It will be as long as it stays open and pure. If enough people come here, it will start drawing attention.
After that it’s possible they’ll flood it with ads and branding in whatever loophole backdoor way they can concoct.
- Comment on Elon Musk says AI will create ‘universal high income’ and eliminate the need for jobs 6 months ago:
We’re on the verge of developing an automatic artist that can make your artistic visions a reality on canvas, no matter what they are… and we’re paywalling it and suing it out of existence instead of passing laws to ensure it’s available to everyone.
