People quickly forgot they went through this.

She should have went to Arby’s.

Found the DHD, covered by some shrubs.

Mad Men the picnic scene.

Littering wasn’t a concern back then. When Don casually tossed the can aside, I was astonished and confused. Then to make matters worse, Betty shakes off the rubbish from the picnic blanket onto the ground before heading to the car. Not a care in the world at all.

Try to do the same today and a park would be filled with plastic wrappers in a few days.

Something similar was done in Japan for walking and texting (or looking at your phone screen). Makes sense the same would translate to all modes of transportation including cars.

Though, jail time may be a little harse for communicating with people over a phone.

This just in, water is wet!

Politicians take interest.

Got to love that double D

Downdate - The practice of dating someone that is a number lower then you. Carly is a 10 dating a 7. Carly is downdating.

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?

Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

I hate building playlists, Plex offers a few different options like sonic sage, sonic adventure, artist mix builder, and automatic mixes based on past listening history.

Jokes on you, in most cases I deploy in 2-3 seconds.

Look into Rufus, it will help you create a bootable USB with windows 11 and you can use it to do a upgrade or clean install from your windows 10 installation (clean install preferred IMO), it will even help bypass the hardware requirements and you can even remove the email account and use a local account. Make sure to use or write down your windows 10 activation/license for a clean install.

That being said you could potentially still run the old wondows OS, but as time goes on new exploits could be found that can compromise the OS. If its behind a firewall such as your router its safer, but there is still the possibility of it being infected way off into the future.

Here is a video of windows XP running on a PC connected directly to the internet with no firewall. Its infected almost instantaneously. (Dont try this at home).

Can I get this shipped to my house? Or do I need Amazon Prime?

What if you take the red pill and its just another simulation?

I would recommended people watch Pantheon on AMC. Two great seasons and it dives into some interesting “are we living in a simulation questions”.

Its like the planet is trying to heal it’s self by making it harder for use to travel and burn fossil fuels.

Comes down to personal preferences really. Personally I have been running truenas since the freebsd days and its always been on bare metal. There would be no reason you could not virtualize it, and I have seen it done.

I do run a pfsense virtualized on my proxmox VM machine. It runs great once I figured out all the hardware pass through settings. I do the same with GPU pass through for a retro gaming machine on the same proxmox machine.

The only thing I dont like is that when you reboot your proxmox machine the PCI devices dont retain their mapping ids. So a PCI NIC card I have in the machine causes the pfsense machine not to start.

The one thing to take into account with Unraid vs TrueNAS is the difference between how they do RAID. Unraid always drives of different sizes in its setup, but it does not provide the same redundancy as TrueNAS. Truenas requires disk be the same size inside a vdev, but you can have multiple vdevs in one large pool. One vdev can be 5 drives of 10tb and the other vdev can be 5 drives of 2tb. You can always swap any drive in truenas with a larger drive, but it will only be as big as the smallest disk in the vdev.

Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz with 16gb ram 165TB of storage. Motherboard is a Asus Delux 10+ years old. And a 10gb NIC. All inside a fractal Design XL case.

The hardware is by all means not top of the line, but you dont need much for a NAS.

I personally run truenas on a standalone system to act as my NAS network wide. It never goes offline and is up near 24/7 except when I need to pull a dead drive.

Unraid is my go to right now for self hosting as its learning curve for docker containers is fairly easy. I find I reboot the system from time to time so its not something I use for a daily NAS solution.

Proxmox I run as well on a standalone system. This is my go to for VM instances. Really easy to spin up any OS I would need for any purpose. I run things like home assistant for example on this machine. And its uptime is 24/7.

Each operating system has its advantages, and all three could potentially do the same things. Though I do find a containered approche prevents long periods of downtime if one system goes offline.

Maybe just in terms of their electronics, such as updates and extended services.

I do wonder if things like heated seat subscription in EV’s and ICE car’s will keep functioning after the company disappears.

GDP (gross domestic product) has always been a poor metric IMO. It prioritizes a never ending upwards trend to increase productivity and “produce more”, all while assuming infinite resource’s.

There needs to be a new metric that also takes into account the planet and sustainably. We dont have infinite resource’s and at some point GDP will go off a cliff.

For example you can’t just cut down 100 acears today, and in a effort to increase GDP cut down 200 acres tomorrow. At somepoint you will run out, and your GDP metric will fail.

A sustainable business that produces a steady flow while maintaining a steady supply should be the gold standard. A sustainable circular industry.

Long term vs short term thinking/profits.
