  • Pretty much the same for me.

    I experienced a moderate amount of childhood sexual trauma, pretty much everything short of forced penetration, but because I had been environmentally groomed up until the moment I realized that it was what it was, I didn’t think much about it.

    It had been enjoyable and fun and pleasurable.

    I already knew all of these things that I suddenly remembered, but the facts surrounding them, a willing cognizance of the events, had not bubbled up to the surface.

    It was like I opened my eyes, and what I saw horrified me.

    That being said, I am somewhat resilient, even if I am a bit of a coward at times, and like, I think it gave me a much more open mind and a broader perspective on what other people have gone through.

    I’ve always been a bit of a softie, and, like, now I’m just also personally empathetic.



  • That would be something like an AI technocracy where the AI owns itself and is considered as a living human being for all intents and purposes.

    If the AI’s continued existence was predicated on them ruling fairly and maximizing happiness without causing any kind of like asimovian technocratic exterminations, then you might have a chance at something working like that.

    The problem is the people who think they are smart enough to pull off such a specific combination of events to make something like that possible are not smart enough to pull it off and will kill us all if given the opportunity.







  • Well, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. The only thing I was thinking is that you would then also have the rest of the Proxmox server to do other server things with.

    For instance, you could set up an LDAP server and create a centralized login for your home domain And have that separate from your portainer setup so that if you make a mistake you don’t end up having to redo your portainer setup.

    You could also use it as a VM host to try out different flavors of Linux and see if any of them make any more sense to you.

    Even though it’s not recommended, you could also host Truenas on top of Proxmox.

    There are good reasons to use virtual machines separate from another virtual machine.


  • Like the other people said, use Proxmox. Just download the installer, flash it to a flash drive with Rufus and install it and then put it somewhere far away where the noise won’t bother you hopefully plug it into your network and then you can just run it.

    One thing that I like to do is to install ubuntu server and then install Docker and Portainer on the server and then you can just run a whole bunch of Docker containers and have a lot of fun playing around with that.

    There are a lot of guides for how to do that, but if you set up Proxmox first and then create a VM with, say, four CPUs and four gigs of RAM and 40 gigs of storage space, you’ll have more than enough room in that one virtual machine to run dozens of net services.

    Some good ones to install are pihole or ad guard home and nginx reverse proxy.

    You can go to DuckDNS and create a subdomain and then set the IP address to your internal ip.

    Once you have that up, you can then go to Let’s encrypt and create a wildcard certificate and then give all of the services you’re running on Docker and on your NAS server an internal name with an SSL certificate instead of having to type in the IP addresses.

    The sky is the limit and the more things that you play around with and try, the better you’ll get at them and the more things you’ll learn how to do.






  • I remember reading somewhere that the maximum amount of sleep debt that you can accumulate is something on the neighborhood of 20 hours.

    Basically, by the time you have rested up 20 hours, whatever excess of sleep debt you had over that will be erased along with it.

    That’s not to say that sleeping an extra 20 hours in a single go is a good or achievable thing, or that it would somehow magically undo all of the accumulated fatigue and wear from denying yourself that much sleep over that long of a time period.

    Only that by the time you have accumulated an additional 20 hours of sleep by sleeping like an extra hour a day for three weeks that physiologically, there would be no continued improvement in your functioning by continuing to sleep extra.

    I mean, as far as it actually goes, you have have slept enough, then you have have not slept enough, and that goes through a range of a “little tired” to “dead”.
