When “hundredths fractions of security” fails to get a laugh, I know I’m in the wrong group of people.

Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?

I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.

I didn’t say it’s secure, I just said it’s security.

You can’t say that a solution is no security at all when it requires time and intelligence to bypass.

It is at least 0.01 security.

NASCAR might do those speeds fairly regularly for short bursts

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.

If it runs “fast enough” on a completely clean system that would cost the average user $1500, then companies assume that that means that it is a good product.

If you want better software, you have to give developers worse hardware to develop on, and more time to develop.

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.

If water benders can bend blood then at advanced levels Air benders should be able to create vacuums. Suck the air out of your lungs, make the water in your blood boil from the pressure change.

At the same level Earth benders should be able to bonemeld. Reshape your bones while you’re using them.

The Greeks knew of electricity, knew of static shocks and lightning, but since the only thimgs they could apprise of it was that it zapped you and made noises, they must have assumed that it was something secret.

Zeus’s lightning bolts must have been hammered together of billions of those tiny zaps you get from sheepskin and amber. The blacksmith that can weld lightning must be a deity, all in all it is too great a subject for mere mortals.

And then Ben Franklin came along and slew Zeus and stole his lightning.

I use readable names.

I’m using one system for testing purposes, so it’s called testingPC.

Any containers are named for the container purposes, like my pihole is named pihole.

My system is so boring that any person were to pick it up after I got hit by a bus would be able to figure out everything.

If that happens, I will sell my citizenship and give you a hundred thousand dollars of it.

I have heard that there is a modification you can do to put a resistor into the fan to lower the speed of the fan and quiet the server down. But I don’t know if that works on your specific brand and you would need to research the specifics yourself before making a hardware modification to a server you’re not 100% comfortable with accidentally destroying.

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.

That would be either a fact or a falsehood, not an opinion

Nah, but it’s going to be a long way back to 2015.

We’ve been set back to the 40s. Maybe by the next 40s

Don’t. Just enjoy it.

To quote Robin Williams, “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You lose that? You’re nothing.”

I’ve used the ATEM Mini and it works great. It’s like as dog simple as you can possibly get a couple of buttons to push and everything just fucking works.

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”.
