"You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down."

Dear god, I do vaguely remember their launch (not my portfolio while working in PC component procurement) but had completely pushed that from my head.

Looks like LG have the same thing going on too, what a waste of silicon.

You have wifi / ethernet in your PC monitor?

Ranger... Those things are a monstrosity.

Whatever happened to vehicles that don't require steps to exit / enter the cab. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/1999_Ford_Falcon_%28AU%29_XR8_sedan_%282004-01-24%29_02.jpg/1920px-1999_Ford_Falcon_%28AU%29_XR8_sedan_%282004-01-24%29_02.jpg

The obsession / normalisation of huge vehicles that transport generally one person is toxic beyond belief. I feel like shit driving my 1.4L shitbox most places, sure it's convenient but it's not great for the environment, my wallet or my health. Can't imagine the wasted resources from people driving their emotional support vehicles to do their errands.

I run my 4800hs / 1650 laptop in hybrid mode, it's 'OK' on battery but I bought it used and it's seen some usage (70% health) in its past life. I've been using hyprland for maybe 6 months now and support has only improved with time.

You will run into issues with specific multiplayer titles in a VM, depending on what you plan on playing having a 2nd partition might be the way to go. Some titles won't care being in a VM, some will flat-out refuse to work or kick you after some time, many are compatible out of the box under Linux / Proton.

Supergfxctl is a handy tool for toggling your dedicated card, my laptop is ASUS so I can't be certain on the level of compatibility you may see with said tool.

Currently all iOS browsers are safari with custom interfaces over-the-top.

The volumes of cash that Microsoft throw at retailers (custom builders / big box) is astronomical. Worked for a relatively small retailer with some international buying power. EOFY "MDF" from Microsoft was an absurd figure.

Our builders would belt out 3 - 6 machines per day, depending on complexity of the custom build, the pre-built machines were in the 6+ per day range.

Considering the vast majority of those machines were running windows (some sold without an os), from a quick estimate after too many beers we were out of pocket 10% at most of the bulk buy price for licence keys after our "market development funds" came through.

It's fucking crook.

I've not tested the method linked but yeah it would seem like it's possible via this method.

My lone VM doesn't need a connection to those drives so I've not had a point to.

You could probably run OMV in an LXC and skip the overheads of a VM entirely. LXC are containers, you can just edit the config files for the containers on the host Proxmox and pass drives right through.

Your containers will need to be privileged, you can also clone a container and make it privileged if you have something setup already as unprivileged!

Yeah there is a workaround for using bind-mounts in Proxmox VMs: https://gist.github.com/Drallas/7e4a6f6f36610eeb0bbb5d011c8ca0be

If you wanted, and your drives are mounted to the Proxmox host (and not to a VM), try an LXC for the services you are running, if you require a VM then the above workaround would be recommended after backing up your data.

I've got my drives mounted in a container as shown here:

Basicboi config, but it's quick and gets the job done.

I'd originally gone down the same route as you had with VMs and shares, but it's was all too much after a while.

I'm almost rid of all my VMs, home assistant is currently the last package I've yet to migrate. Migrated my frigate to a docker container under nixos, tailscale exit node under nixos too while the vast majority of other packages are already in LXC.
