I’m not saying you should be reckless, but too often I see people be either uninformed or unwilling to exercise their rights. To be fair, I do write with something of an urban bias, where thankfully those kinds of speeds are much less common.

By crossing I mean a crosswalk, some sort of markings on the ground

In an uncontrolled crossing the pedestrian always has the right of way. They should almost never ‘wait’ to cross

Companies only really have one reason to prevent their customers from taking them to court: they intend to break the law or otherwise harm their customers.

It’s just one equilateral triangle and then two pairs. The specific slots the opposing pairs are in don’t matter. You can see that each sample of the triangle has a gap of 7 slots between each other.

Maybe so, but ease of use is crucial to get regular people to start using private and local alternatives. As long as something like Amazon Echo or Google Home are the only things on the shelf, people that aren’t actively looking for an alternative will never find it.

It looks like NAND and therefore SSD pricing is trending up currently due to some supply limitations. If you want to get some large drives it might be best to try to do it soon, or be prepared for a wait/inflated pricing.

Wow hand wiring this must have been tedious, impressive! I got a custom board for just a 40% to avoid the hassle

While I appreciate the sentiment, my whole point was that this action would probably not be an effective solution :D
- Comment on World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death 3 months ago:
Maybe I’m just a cynic but I don’t think mentality has really changed since then. If that were the case we would see more rapid population decrease instead of it just being due to financial pressure
- Comment on World’s population to fall for first time since the Black Death 3 months ago:
Without societal change, even a die-off as extreme as half of everyone dying will have absolutely no effect beyond the immediate term. Just look at the Black Death as an example: about half of Europe among others died over its period and yet we are still facing overpopulation issues not 7 centuries later.

It’s actually called rational thought instead of reproducing like a virus

- Comment on Docker configs destroyed after update 4 months ago:
Update in case anyone is interested: I figured out what caused the problem. When I mounted the new drive I used to store my configurations onto Proxmox, I completely forgot to make the relevant /etc/fstab entry. The drive mounted successfully so I didn’t realize at the time that I had forgotten to do that step. The update I ran from apt-get included a kernel update, so I restarted the machine to complete it. Since I hadn’t modified fstab, my new drive was not mounted when the system started up again. Even though the drive wasn’t mounted correctly, I still somehow had access to some incomplete version of the files in its directory (no idea how that works). So no fault of Docker, LXCs or Proxmox, purely PEBKAC.
Despite getting the files back I will still work towards a more resilient system and more regular backups.
- Comment on Docker configs destroyed after update 4 months ago:
The files were on a mountpoint, completely separate drive. This has also been the case for all the previous times I ran an update, though I did recently move these files to a different drive mounted the same way. I got some sort of permission wrong maybe?
Will definitely set up a better backup system as soon as I can
- Comment on Docker configs destroyed after update 4 months ago:
Interesting, I think I did actually do that. I guess my best bet for now is to just nuke the LXCs then and move everything to a new VM. Thanks for the advice!
- Comment on Docker configs destroyed after update 4 months ago:
It was just a matter of time then until something broke? Guess I’ll need to do some more research on how to best manage the services I want to run. Good thing I didn’t come into this hobby hoping to reduce the amount of headaches

Why? Their drive failure stats are consistently the worst on the chart, and by a wide margin

You may be right. From my understanding it was quite difficult to build a weapon that is accurate and functional after several shots. Either way it seems quite a bit more involved and more dangerous to the builder than a breadboard and a radio transmitter you can buy off the shelf.
