Pretty much. Basically it's the ProtonDB.

Actually, I was going to say both those shows.

Oh, wow. $10/ea or 3.65M total. I bet they're suitably chastened.

Fucking perfumes. I had to stop buying Irish Spring after using it since I was a kid because now they add so much goddamn scent to it, it makes my eyes burn in the shower.

Agrivoltaics, AKA "shade", but you can't write any articles about shade.

Jesus, my stomach can't even hack a piece of toast in the morning...

Oh, don't worry. If you hadn't given it to them, one or ten of your fucking rellies did anyway and had no clue of the implications either.

"Confidently incorrect"

I can't imagine going back to having to manage my installations and software updates manually. I now have someone that downloads, tests and packages every new version with my operating system, and OS upgrades are likely to have been rolled out over a few channels until when it hits stable, it's probably known to work well (in non-cutting edge distros).

I wouldn't want to go back to having to keep track of when a package updates and download it from some site that may or may not be the authors, and then hope to hell Microsoft actually does something approaching quality control on their janky, security-through-obscurity OS before releasing an update that proceeds to brick my machine.

Just use Virtmanager or Boxes or something that doesn't use DKMS every time it updates.

Virtualbox is a bad habit that's best not to start.

Like, what distros? All the majors I've used in the last 5 years have pretty sane defaults. Except Arch, of course, because the packagers just put in what the devs send.

Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn't been registering domains since Jan 1.

It's seeming a little odd to me that this is catching people with their pants down.

 

With the shipping they charge, it's almost 50% extra on the cost of the order. In comparison, I shipped US$9500 of solar batteries across the border last month and paid $170 to a reputable broker that actually had to do some work.

What unmitigated scumbags.

Use this to determine your potential solar power generation by month with different options for angles and panel types.

 

There are also other subforums for Proxmox and TrueNAS there.

 

There is also a Proxmox subforum since there is quite a lot of overlap between the two.

 

Because damn, that's bloody annoying to try to hit a post and have it zoom off the page as other ones come in the top.

I have no clue why this is a thing.

I wanted to share with y’all a new file system project I’ve been working on: speZFS

speZFS is based on the principle that your data doesn’t actually belong to you—and you should learn to like it that way. At every possible turn, speZFS goes out of its way to show contempt for the user, including such features as:

Data reliability: With speZFS, “integrity” is a dirty word, so we use the term “reliability” instead. What that actually means is that your data is likely to be silently edited on disk, with no notice given to the user that this has occurred. Should this reliability feature be noticed by the user, speZFS responds by raising EXCEPTION_OOPSSORRYLOL and continuing as if nothing ever happened.

Advanced file permissions: No longer are files exclusively available to the “landed gentry” just because they happened to create them. Any user who refuses to allow global access to their files will find their access revoked, and new file owners instated.

Introspection protection: This cutting-edge feature actively prevents users from finding out what the hell is actually going on, by providing misleading information to debugging tools, filesystem analyzers, decompilers, and so on. In essence, any attempt to “ask” speZFS what it’s doing or why will be met with useless stock answers, insults, and/or outright threats.

Dedicated suite of file access tools: speZFS comes with a set of tools designed specifically use with it. These include spezfs-ls (injects advertisements into the file listing), spezfs-rm (only allows you to remove a single file at a time, which is subject to being arbitrarily restored later), spezfs-cp (claims ownership of your copied files, and sells access to them for use in AI training models), and spezfs-find (does nothing). Want to use your own tools? No problem! Access to so-called “third-party” filesystem tools will be allowed free for one month after installation, and thereafter at the bargain price of $0.24 per 10,000 file accesses.

My hope is that you find speZFS to be a useful, well-designed, and overall great filesystem… and if not, who the hell cares what you think anyway?

Here is a selection of the highlights of the Proxmox VE 8.0 final version

  • Debian 12, but using a newer Linux kernel 6.2
  • QEMU 8.0.2, LXC 5.0.2, ZFS 2.1.12
  • Ceph Server: Ceph Quincy 17.2 is the default and comes with continued support. There is now an enterprise repository for Ceph which can be accessed via any Proxmox VE subscription, providing the best stability for production systems.
  • Additional text-based user interface (TUI) for the installer ISO.
  • Integrate host network bridge and VNet access when configuring virtual guests into the ACL system of Proxmox VE.
  • Add access realm sync jobs to conveniently synchronize users and groups from an LDAP/AD server automatically at regular intervals.
  • New default CPU type for VMs: x86-64-v2-AES
  • Resource mappings: between PCI(e) or USB devices, and nodes in a Proxmox VE cluster.
  • Countless GUI and API improvements.
