  • But why, though? Trump is a narcissist and Vance is his lapdog. Licking Putin’s boots shouldn’t feed his ego, so why do it? Maybe Putin has some dirt on him. Nobody is going to give a shit. His MAGAts are still going to rationalize why he’s their messiah and continue supporting him.

    Calling him a Russian asset is giving him too much credit. He’s being mean to what he sees as the “little guy” because it makes him feel like a big man, and the rest of us have to live with the consequences.




  • I’m leaving this here for continuity, but don’t follow what I said here. I have my containers set as privileged. I was wrong.

    I have a server that runs Proxmox and a server that runs TrueNAS, so a very similar setup to yours. As long as your LXC is tied to a network adapter that has access to your file server (it almost certainly is unless you’re using multiple NICs and/or VLANs), you should be able to mount shares inside your LXC just like you do on any other Linux machine.

    Can you ping your fileserver from inside the container? If so, then the issue is with the configuration in the container itself. Privileged or unprivileged shouldn’t matter here. How are you trying to mount the CIFS share?

    Edit: I see that you’re mounting the share in Proxmox and mapping it to your container. You don’t need to do this. Just mount it in the container itself.




  • This is just anecdotal, but I have never once experienced an issue with SFP+ vendor lock. I have mix-and-matched transceivers between Mikrotik, DLink, TPLink, Dell Enterprise, and Xyxel switches as well as both Mellanox and Intel NICs. The only issue i can recall is some auto-negotiatiin issues using 1GB modules in a Mellanox switch. Manually setting the link rate fixed it. I use a combination of 10Gb fiber, 10Gb copper, and 1Gb copper modules as well as DAC depending on the situation.

    I know that vendor lock does exist, but it’s not as widespread with modern hardware.



  • “Isn’t well liked” is quite the understatement. “Despised” is more like it. I actually like the way the cybertruck looks, I think the technology is interesting, and if I really wanted to, I could probably afford one.

    I wouldn’t drive one if it was given to me for free. I’d rather take a taxi every day than drive a public display of support for the treasonous fascist manchild that owns the company.

    Tesla’s second biggest problem is their shit standards and quality control. Their first biggest problem is their shit corporate leadership.





  • This may be going off on a tangent, but it seems appropriate here. I am sick and tired of hearing about every little minutia of clickbait bullshit related to Trump. If Musk wants to buy and tank TikTok, great. I don’t give a fuck one way or another. Trump isn’t buying TikTok, and I truly don’t give a shit what his opinion is on it.

    I want to stay aware of current events in my country. If the president signs an executive order, I want to hear about it. I don’t want to hear about what his friends are doing. I couldn’t care less who made his wife’s hat. I’d rather watch paint dry than a video of him and his wife dancing. I hate that I know he consumes McDonald’s slop and Diet Coke in the oval office.

    People argue about how news outlets are biased right or left. The real problem is that news outlets are just entertainment outlets, and not legitimate journalism. I don’t care if you’re reading Fox News or CNN; you’re still going to wade through a river of worthless celebrity worship before you actually find something of substance. Scroll down far enough, and you won’t be reading about Trump any more. Instead, you’ll be reading about which actors are fucking each other and the latest and “this year’s hottest budget-friendly Temu styles that are now made of only slightly toxic synthetic fibers.” If you’re lucky, you might find an article about how some random nobody met another random nobody on vacation and got married. Good for them. I’m glad they’re happy. I still don’t give a shit.



  • Technology exists to keep all your personal data exceptionally secure. Modern encryption is incredibly difficult to break (impossible really).

    Humans are fundamentally insecure. Any time you read about a data leak, it’s because somebody stupidly opened an attachment or fell for a scam. Any time someone gets “hacked,” they didn’t. They gave away their information. Human error and a lack of education are the problems.






  • I am virtually never out of town, but if I was, then no, I wouldn’t worry.

    If there was a technical problem that left my servers inaccessible, then oh well. It’s the same scenario as if I had shut them off. I’d fix it when I get back. This has never happened, though. I’ve had VMs crash, but I have never had a situation where any of my servers were completely inaccessible.

    The only situation I can think of where I’d need to immediately shut down a server would be a drive failure in my ZFS array, but the chances of this happening in conjunction with a loss of connectivity are exceedingly unlikely. If it was a major concern, I’d write a script to power down the server when a drive fails.
