That is absolutely wild to me.

That is like sending an update to your phone, and if it fails, you’ll never have a phone again for the rest of your life, and you won’t find out if it succeeded for moments shy of two full days.

This was a triumph! I’m making a note here, “Huge success!”

Those are good advices and I will take them into consideration. I know I’ll get over it eventually, But at the same time I also know that one, she’s higher in the corporate hierarchy than I am, and two, if you were a boss and you heard a man trying to complain about being unfairly judged over a passive allegation of sexist creepiness versus a highly ranked and respected woman who made the allegation. It’s in your best financial interests to believe the woman and dismiss the complaints of the man.

Don’t get me wrong, I know that 99 times out of 100, it’s actually the man being a creep. It sucks to be in that 1% category this one time.

This is fairly obvious, but I can offer an anecdote.

I am a man, for context. Recently I had to edit some personnel photos for my company.

Some group had been brought in to take headshots of all of the major players, a lot of whom are women, and they did a terrible job. Found out after the fact that the group that was brought in was brought in nepotistically and did not have any proven skill worthy the amount of money that the company paid them for their services.

Since it was my job to edit the photos, I was complaining about the quality of the photos, how the wrong lenses had been chosen that caused their faces to be distorted, how the makeup was done inexpertly, and how the photos were a significant downgrade of the photos that were currently there in most cases. I have a little bit of experience in this because my ex-girlfriend was a model and I attended and helped and actually photographed her on multiple occasions for clothing distributors and for makeup brands, like I know a little bit of what I’m talking about. Just a little bit.

A co-worker of mine got really upset that I was talking about the appearance of my female co-workers.

There was no opportunity for me to explain to her that I am not talking about my coworkers. I’m talking about the photographs of my coworkers. She directly ordered me to “not talk about the appearance of my female coworkers”.

And now it’s really hard for me to think positive thoughts about her because she immediately went to one of the worst possible explanations for what I was doing rather than asking or even talking to me about it.

I know well enough to know that if you’re talking about your co-workers and one of your co-workers comes in and says, don’t talk about your co-workers, to not talk about your co-workers. She’s clearly indicated that she is offended. Fine.

But I was talking to one of the co-workers who had their headshot, and we were discussing her headshot, and the quality of it, and what they had done right, and what they had done wrong, when that person came in and told me to shut up. She interjected herself into a conversation she was not a part of, and indicated that she was offended that this conversation was happening and implied that I was being sexist for having it.

Like, we were having a good and productive conversation because it had already been decided that another group was going to be brought in for additional headshots because the quality of these headshots was not up to snuff.

But now I’m all bent out of shape, and personally butthurt, and she feels like, you know, she struck a mighty blow for the feminist cause, and it’s all bullshit, and it just- I’m- I’m struggling to find a way to stop sitting in my feelings over it.

Before all of this, I really liked her as a person. Now I don’t want to be in the same room with her because she can judge me like that.

The implication that I believe you are missing is that all humans are to some degree evil, and that goes doubly so for the type of human that finds themselves working in the world of politics.

It’s tongue-in-cheek, and that was very well known when the phrase originally came out.

The subtlety seems to have been lost over time.

I also use Ouija board rules with AI.

You say please, you say thank you, and when you’re done talking, you say goodbye.

And, generally, you try to interact with it as little as possible.

When “hundredths fractions of security” fails to get a laugh, I know I’m in the wrong group of people.

Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?

I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.

I didn’t say it’s secure, I just said it’s security.

You can’t say that a solution is no security at all when it requires time and intelligence to bypass.

It is at least 0.01 security.

If it runs “fast enough” on a completely clean system that would cost the average user $1500, then companies assume that that means that it is a good product.

If you want better software, you have to give developers worse hardware to develop on, and more time to develop.

I don’t know if it is due to some sort of baggage from using the Mozilla Sync service or what, but librewolf without Mozilla Sync is faster for use than Mozilla Firefox is for some reason.

I only swapped over a few days ago, but the speed up was big enough for it to be apparent to me.

I use readable names.

I’m using one system for testing purposes, so it’s called testingPC.

Any containers are named for the container purposes, like my pihole is named pihole.

My system is so boring that any person were to pick it up after I got hit by a bus would be able to figure out everything.

I have heard that there is a modification you can do to put a resistor into the fan to lower the speed of the fan and quiet the server down. But I don’t know if that works on your specific brand and you would need to research the specifics yourself before making a hardware modification to a server you’re not 100% comfortable with accidentally destroying.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. The only thing I was thinking is that you would then also have the rest of the Proxmox server to do other server things with.

For instance, you could set up an LDAP server and create a centralized login for your home domain And have that separate from your portainer setup so that if you make a mistake you don’t end up having to redo your portainer setup.

You could also use it as a VM host to try out different flavors of Linux and see if any of them make any more sense to you.

Even though it’s not recommended, you could also host Truenas on top of Proxmox.

There are good reasons to use virtual machines separate from another virtual machine.

Like the other people said, use Proxmox. Just download the installer, flash it to a flash drive with Rufus and install it and then put it somewhere far away where the noise won’t bother you hopefully plug it into your network and then you can just run it.

One thing that I like to do is to install ubuntu server and then install Docker and Portainer on the server and then you can just run a whole bunch of Docker containers and have a lot of fun playing around with that.

There are a lot of guides for how to do that, but if you set up Proxmox first and then create a VM with, say, four CPUs and four gigs of RAM and 40 gigs of storage space, you’ll have more than enough room in that one virtual machine to run dozens of net services.

Some good ones to install are pihole or ad guard home and nginx reverse proxy.

You can go to DuckDNS and create a subdomain and then set the IP address to your internal ip.

Once you have that up, you can then go to Let’s encrypt and create a wildcard certificate and then give all of the services you’re running on Docker and on your NAS server an internal name with an SSL certificate instead of having to type in the IP addresses.

The sky is the limit and the more things that you play around with and try, the better you’ll get at them and the more things you’ll learn how to do.

This is the time to step back and ask ourselves if women’s sex toys have gone too far.

The English language is difficult, but it can be understood through tough, thorough thought.

If you have a little shot of red wine to throw into it after you’re done cooking the mushrooms with maybe just like a drizzle of soy sauce for the umami? delicious.

Peek a bomb, hide and go trip on a landmine, irl frogger, don’t wake der führer, And finally, Candyland Hansel and Gretel edition.
