You might consider me an independent thinker (I shit in the woods)

I am convinced that the bidet shills on reddit are bots. There’s just no way that hundreds of thousands of people are suddenly interested in shitting appliances.

“noticing patterns” is a right-wing dog whistle about jews because they think jews orchestrate society and that they are ‘noticing this’.

The usual meme is “stop noticing things” because they have pointed out something they think is the fault of jews, like chemtrails or whatever. In this example, there could be a jewish board member of a plane company and they also believe chemtrails are real so they are ‘noticing’ the supposed connection.

It is similar to the (((( )))) dog whistle, if you are familiar.

Examples can be found on the ‘noticing’ tag on ifunny https://ifunny.co/tags/noticing

This has nothing to do with dark patterns.

Maybe it’s because of what I listen to but I can generally find it on on Bandcamp, Soulseek or torrent trackers.

Yes, but on Linux I get to choose not to use Gnome

I run all my dockers in LXCs on Proxmox and there hasn’t been a single problem.

I understand your point but I reiterate that I don’t connect to unsafe networks. If someone has remote code execution on a device on my side of the network then they are also inside my apartment and I’d be more worried about that.

you are brave to use your laptop that way

why? I don’t connect it to untrusted networks

You shouldn’t be touching it, honestly. There’s a firewall at your router. It should be responsible for blocking incoming traffic. Firewalls on individual machines are for servers where you know exactly what’s going in and out. I don’t have a firewall on my desktop or laptop.

You will spend the best years of your life chasing random network connections if you block everything by default.

Your ISP doesn’t give a fuck, it’s not legal trouble. It’s just overzealous sysadmins blocking anything that seems sus. I am permanently banned from most SoMe, for example, for having abnormal network activity but none of it is illegal.

You do face issues running a regular middle/guard relay. My IP is tainted from overzealous sysadmins looking up Tor related IPs and seeing mine because middle relays are public knowledge. I am banned from a lot of places for simply being a middle relay.

Oh damn true I forgot about adding a repo

install debian

apt install flatpak

flatpak install theThingYouWantTheLatestOf

The issue is that I can’t really fit all of the data somewhere else. Can I shove it onto the 4TB drive and then mount it on a new proxmox install and recover from there?

The answer was a resounding no

It might not be, but I am intimately familiar with it. It’s proxmox itself that’s the wildcard here. I will shrink the LVM and then DD it to the new disk.

Couldn’t I just shrink a partition myself? I could clone the LXCs to the 4TB drive and just shrink the LVM partition significantly. DD the disks, recreate the LVM on the new SSD and move em back, right?

Using a larger disk isn’t an option, unfortunately. I don’t have that kind of money.

Cheaters are a solved problem, in my opinion. It used to be that people hosted servers- moderating and managing their own communities. The industry went away from that in pursuit of cosmetics and control. There aren’t cheaters on well managed community servers in Valve games, but cheaters run rampant in matchmaking in those same games.

Hosting videogames on a dedicated box for me and the boys when I was 16 got me more interested in networking and when I had finished my mostly unrelated education, I pivoted hard to IT. I don’t currently work in IT and I don’t know if I ever will again because my handicap and location make it hard to find jobs but essentially:

Self-hosting came first, then came the tech ‘background’.

I generally agree but not everyone can choose where they work. For many people, the choice is starving on the street or work for Evil Corp.
