lol exactly.
I want to show up, do work, get paid, be left alone.
I’ll do really good work, and take pride it in because that’s just who I am, but I don’t want to do overtime, I don’t want to go above and beyond for the company, I don’t want to play office politics, I don’t want to jockey for higher roles. None of it.
Show up, get paid.
This is it right here.
If I want to watch something, can I do it within 2 minutes?
Now? If it’s not in the current app I’m in and featured, unlikely.
Piracy? Through a handful of services, local or remote, I can be watching that movie in one place in 30 seconds in the highest quality.
What service was once decent has been ruined by capitalism again.
I’m commenting on this again because I actually tried this tonight. The info is pretty sparse. I know it’s an alternate install method, but in bottles there’s a lot of variables.
Even just knowing which runner was used in testing would help a ton, as there are quite a few, and each has tons of versions.
On my main server: I have my SSD RAID1 ZFS snapshots of my container appdata, VM VHDs and docker image, that is also backed up as a full backup once per night to the RAID10 array, then rsynced to the backup server which then is uploaded to the cloud.
The data on the RAID is backups, repos or media that I’ve deposited there for an extra copy it for serving via Plex/Jellyfin. I have extra copies of the data, and if I were to lose the array totally, I wouldn’t be pleased, but my personal pictures/videos wouldn’t be in danger.
I run two back up servers, which both upload to the cloud. One of which takes bare metal images of all my computers (sans servers bulk drives), the other which takes live folders.
This is more due to convenience so that I can pull a bare metal image to restore a device, or easily go find a file with versioning online if necessary on both accounts.
As a wise man said, you can never have too many backups.
Dimishing returns tax calculated on personal worth, not including liabilities.
The more you make/have the more you pay.
Doesn’t matter if you have it sitting in investments, antiques or income, it all gets taxed the same. Can’t hide it by subtracting liabilities, because those are your own responsibilities, not the governments.
This will shift the burden to the upper class and remove the burden from the lower class, it will also help the middle class by not being stuck in the middle and being able to be judged on levels and on a scale.
Apply the same to companies, it will actually encourage mega-corps to split into smaller companies.
There’s no soulseek integration yet, but that would be a game changer, the collections in there are incredible, especially when trying to find EPs, singles and rarities. We’ve been waiting for a good long while though.
In the meantime, it’s a lot of work to build a collection, even with lidarr, torrents, semi-private, private trackers and usenet.
For soulseek, I’d recommend setting a blackhole torrent client that points to the soulseek download folder, them always make sure you download the folder not the files from the share. That will make importing the files a lot easier into lidarr if you choose to keep that as your centralized download tool.
There are also extended scripts for lidarr that will pull music from various sources as well.
I thought that whole segment of the population has moved from covid vaccines to abortion to drag story time to blocking trans rights to blocking kids gender rights, so they’re several “crusades” removed from this, and yet they’re dragging this up again?
For what? Points with people in the slow lane? People studying up for their conservatism fascist turn SATs? Or just to dredge some more outrage for his new look party of “no new ideas, just point the finger and be obnoxious”?
It’s looking a lot like the latter. I hope people see through it, or get tired of it, but we all know we don’t vote in parties in Canada, we just vote them out.
Scotiabank said Wednesday it’s cutting about three per cent of its global workforce as a result of changes at the bank and customers’ day-to-day banking preferences, as well as ongoing efforts to streamline operations.
Let’s fix this up a bit: Scotiabank said Wednesday it’s kowtowing to global market trends with needlessly firing about three per cent of its global workforce as a result of changes at the bank and customers’ day-to-day banking preferences, as well as ongoing efforts to streamline operations. a bullshit forced recession and to force the existing workforce to work harder and be more subservient.
I’m so sick of defending him from all the blatant lies told about him, mainly because I’ve only ever voted LPC as and ABC option, but I can’t just let sleeping dogs lie with the more extreme lies.
I’ve been painted as a Trudeau lover by some, and that’s only because they only see the world in black and white, you’re either against him or with him.
I really really wish I could have a conversation where I could criticize some of the stuff he does/has done, and give him recognition for other things, without a political conversation turning into the same sound bites from the news, or bullshit from Facebook within 30 seconds.
The biggest reason I personally use and would recommend Unraid is it simplifies everything, specifically around docker.
Deploying docker containers? There are community apps where people have set up scripts so all you have to do is fill in the blanks for your set up and bam, your container is deployed and running.
Managing you can add your own items and fill in your own blanks, or change them and it’ll deploy and remove the old container.
I’ve used portainer, compose, and looked into runtipi for docker management, and tried out windows server, Ubuntu, proxmox, truenas for HV/VE/OS, and while they all had bits I liked they all lacked something, and unraid had it all or a way to have it.
The initial reason was ragged arrays for why I chose it ever the others, but now I like its simplicity, and don’t find myself wanting for more control over anything.
Depends on how safe you want to get but you could look into VLANing off all your piracy stuff, then VLANing IoT, then the rest on another for security purposes.
If that’s the case you’d want a good router (Mikrotik for best bang for your buck but most difficult to use, Ubiquiti for the opposite), and a managed switch (I personally love HPE for switches. Their enterprise brand is much better than their consumer stuff). Then you can set that all up in whatever Hypervisor or OS, or whatever you choose to move those all around on the NICs to keep your precious stuff safe.
For set up, you’ll want to look at the *arr stack. Check out trash guides for a getting started, there’s also servarr for even more info. But with those you can set it to auto download movies, comics, tv, books, audiobooks, all sorts of stuff. Then there’s all sorts of ways to feed it to devices and out into the net to others if you choose.
But be very very very cautious about that last part, not just for the obvious reasons of laws and whatnot, but when you start to poke holes for allowing stuff out, you could be allowing stuff in. And there’s lots of people who want in. So setting up your external access with credentials, MFA, certificates if you can, my opinion on those 3 is must, should, could respectfully.
Then you can thing about backups. You should backup your new server once you get it all the way you like of course, but now you can keep your backups of all your computers. So do you want single file backups, directory backups, drive backups, baremetal backups? Some combo? All the above? Who knows it’s all your choice!
Then you can host databases, services, your own smart tech whatever. It’s a blast. Enjoy it all. But I also recommend looking into docker as well! It’s huge as far as hosting a bunch of services.
For drive config, depends on how you plan on using your server, and how you plan in dividing up the data between ssd and platter drives, but if it were my set up I’d do raid-10 for both arrays. Reason? Speed and single fault tolerance. Bigger reason? I don’t trust anything with a single copy. 3-2-1 rule. If you have data you need to have protected that can’t stand an array failure, it shouldn’t only be in the array. But that’s just me. I run multiple servers and keep cloud storage.
100% right here with you.
The main missions were definitely soft and the games overall have their warts, but that base mechanic was pure art.
You could take all the care in the world and special ops the shit out of it, or you could go in there and Rambo the shit out of it, and each would work or wouldn’t for various reasons and the difficulty scales well enough that you don’t just automatically pick the latter every time.
Only other games that have scratched that itch have been MGSV, Ghost of Tsushima and Sniper Elite.
Most games have some variety of this now but those three along with Far Cry build and scale it well enough that feels like an accomplishment over the course of a whole game.
So play dirty because we have to stoop to their level?
I’m sorry, fuck no. Absolutely fuck no.
We shouldn’t have had to get here. The unwritten rules shouldn’t have had to have been broken, and they shouldn’t have to be matched.
You know what’s going to happen if we go down to match their level? They’re going to stoop lower. Then lower then lower.
Never argue with someone in the dirt because they’re drag you down and beat you with experience.
So what will be done? Due process. It’ll be slow but it’ll win. Slowly but surely the trash will be taken out. It won’t be easy and it won’t be quiet but it’ll be done.
Eh, this isn’t traditional engagement with representatives, like letters, calls, etc. This is planned and executed coercion, backhand lobbying and other tactics to get their stuff done.
If they did it correctly, sure I’d support it and ask the other side to get to it, but I can’t support underhanded tactics to get stuff done with politicians.
Can’t see that word and not think of Barrett’s Privateers
At this point, regardless of which company it is, it’s pretty much guaranteed the big grocer chains are acting in bad faith and are at the heart of a lot of economic issues for low and mid-wage Canadians.
I think the answer starts with breaking up vertical monopolies and making sure that acquisition and distribution of goods between stores is competitive and I think it ends with parts of the supply chain becoming crown corporations.
People can sit there and complain about the LCBO ask they want, but the buying power and distribution abilities they have could go a long way for Ontario or Canadians in general for food as well. I’d rather have that savings and money going back into the our pocket then Gaven fricking Weston.
Because retailers took advantage of inflation to push profits even higher, especially one specific retailer who has a vertical monopoly in the grocery sector, of which they’ve been caught and convicted of using to fix the prices of bread in the past.
They’re still high because food is a staple, a necessity. Competition can’t spin up in several months. And competition certainly can’t compete with this existing farm to grocer system.
These prices are never coming down. They’d keep going higher if people weren’t so angry they were stealing instead.
The best protest is to not shop there.
I know. Sounds stupid.
Farmers stands. Farm to table markets. Farmer’s markets.
Call farms and see if you can place orders. They need larger orders? Start ordering with friends, neighbours, family.
This stuff is grown in our backyard, and we are paying for some guy to buy it to sell to some other guy for a huge mark up so we can pay even more for no reason.
Trimps. I’m hopelessly addicted.
To expand on that you are likely on Windows if the percentages means anything, Windows 10 Pro is required to run VMs on your local machine.
I’d recommend grabbing a second machine to be your homelab, even if it’s not great, just so you don’t mess anything up locally.
If you go with a second machine you can put win10pro on it and not activate it and then host VMs. Or there are other ways to get keys for pro. Completely legally of course.
Windows server (load a VM and load STANDARD not Dataserver) 2019 and 2022 both have evaluation versions. You can load these up, install any features you want to try, test any labs in any modules of any courses you’re taking, then nuke and reload if necessary.
If you’re not familiar with Linux try Ubuntu, Manjaro, and Fedora. Learn to install a few things from the GUI stores and the CLI repositories. Learn how to add repositories. Learn how to copy, move, make, delete, rename files/directories.
Then start a project. Something silly or stupid like a media server, backup server or download station. Build that out with your new knowledge, push your boundaries.
It might seem like a bit much but there are practical questions on the exam where you have to work through things in a VM and it isn’t just a multiple choice question. You’ll feel a lot better being comfortable in an environment.
On top of that that practical experience will come in handy in interviews.
The moves come as a wave of layoffs have hit the tech sector. Companies such as Meta, Amazon and Google have made cuts.
The Canadian work permit includes study or work permit options for the accompanying family members of US H-1B visa holders. It became available on 16 July and was scheduled to remain in effect for one year, or until immigration authorities received 10,000 applications.
Seems like right time for them to apply as many fear losing their jobs right now, as well as the spectre of an immigrant averse White House possibly on the horizon.
These are talented individuals that we’ve been losing due to salary differences between our country and the US for years. It’ll be determined how they contribute, but I expect a tech boom if this becomes more of a habit.
My one hope is that the meltdown is tied to commercial real estate, which will hopefully avoid this whole thing.
