  • Tips for getting better at Linux.

    Jump

  • I'm going to go against the grain a bit and suggest studying for a certificate. Find one that looks interesting, and just prepare for it. You don't necessarily have to get the certificate, but training for it will give you a good foundation for running your systems.

  • Docker on VM vs bare install on VM

    Jump

  • I know rebuilding containers is trivial, but updating a service in the UI is more trivial than that. I'm just trying to make my life as trivial as possible 😁. It seems like containers may be worth the little bit of extra effort.

  • Copying a response I wrote on another comment -

    Thanks for this - the one advantage I'm noticing is that to update the services I'm running, I have to rebuild the container. I can't really just update from the UI if an update is available. I can do it, it is just somewhat of a nuisance.

    How often are there issues with dependencies? Is that a problem with a lot of software these days?

  • Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?

    Jump

  • Perhaps the closest term is "cognitive dissonance." I don't think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.

    https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html

    Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.

    While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).

  • There is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don't know if it's refers to popularity like OP wants.

  • Bug bounty denied? Hmmm ... OK, let's see ...

    Jump

  • Thanks, that's a useful description.

    Pretty ingenious.

  • I didn't understand how the OP did this:

    Create an Apple account with [email protected]

    Is that just a spoofed email? What would be the steps to do that?

  • What kind of hosting service will allow this?

  • This was the first hit on proxmox vps.

    I have no idea if they are good or not, but this kind of service might be what you're looking for?

  • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?

    Jump

  • Thanks, I do appreciate this. It's good to be reminded.

  • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?

    Jump

  • Sorry, no greenwashing, just guessing. I just haven't seen the criticisms like we had 10 years ago.

    I agree that politicians don't have much reason to speak against it without pressure, but I haven't seen any pressure from citizens about it recently.

    I could very much be out of the loop, so if you have any recent articles critical of the industry, I'd be happy to see them.

  • When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?

    Jump

  • It seems like the fracking industry has cleaned up a lot of their shit? We aren't hearing the stories of water on fire, earthquakes in areas like Oklahoma, etc.

    I'm just guessing. I haven't seen any criticism of the industry recently.

  • if you ever traveled 1K miles by bus, would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • It really depends on the kind of buses I think.

    I did a lot of traveling in South America and it was a great way to see different countries. A lot of the buses were pretty luxurious with 180 degree reclining seats, meals and bus attendants to give your blankets and things. You could rest comfortably during the night trips. I also met some interesting people along the way. Some trips were horrible too, but at least I have the stories.

    I probably wouldn't do it in the US. Don't know about other countries.

    Can you actually extend the trip and stay at some hotels/hostels or something along the way? If the buses are comfortable, and you have the time and budget, i think it would be great to visit three different countries, enjoy the foods and sites, meet people along the way, and have that time by yourself to do whatever you want.

  • I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.)

  • Love takes many forms. Caring for someone without the expectation of a benefit you want is a form of love. If my wife came down with MS and we could no longer have sex, I would still love her, respect her and admire the mother and life partner that she is. I would also be upset that I couldn't have sex any more.

    I personally would try to figure out the following, with or without professional help:

    • Why is she depressed? She is going through a lot. She is probably scared you are going to abandon her when she needs someone the most. She may also hate the situation that you are in because of her illness. She is also probably angry at the world that she has to suffer this. She is also probably worried for her child and feels guilty that she can't give her more. There are so many feelings she has to process, it may be easier to just shut down.
    • If you remove the expectations of sex with her, would you be willing to stay with her as a caring and respectful partner and mother to your child?
    • You might explore non-monogamy. That's going to be a complicated conversation, but maybe something your wife is willing to explore. Just ensure it takes into consideration all the issues in the first point.

    A good mother and partner is so hard to find. Love can take many forms. Don't feel limited in your choices if you can make other options work out.

  • So use syncthing on all your devices. It will let you selectively sync folders.

  • Thanks, those are good links. I don't know anything about power supplies/demands, sorry I can't be a better conversation partner.

    There might be similar boards on AliExpress, but I haven't seen ones with as many SATA ports.
