  • Dude. Here. Scope this out. These are your fellows.

    Carnicom. This is the chemtrail guy from way back. His site used to look more wacky like yours, but he jumped domains and redeployed it all. I bet the old web 1.0 stuff is still online somewhere.
    Dude created hundreds of documents about ... well ... nothing. https://carnicominstitute.org/

    Time Cube. This hasn't been online since 2016, so gotta wayback. The wayback makes the page even uglier than it used to be.
    But ya, that's more of the same. You called it drivel? Fair enough. https://web.archive.org/web/20160112193916/http://timecube.com/

  • Unfortunately, its a crazy person that can't get anybody to listen to them.
    It would be nice if they would just chill and don't have to get banned.

  • Quni settle down. You don't have to alienate everyone on the whole internet.

    Dang dude. Chill.

    And stop posting garbage.

  • Ya. Well bud, try making sense. That helps a lot.

    Notice in that video that despite the fact that Tong showed up to his Royal Society lecture to rock their world, and in fact the title of his lecture advertised as such, he wait until minute 30 of his hour-long lecture to abruptly tell them all that reality is a lie.

    Tong made this declaration, in this sacred room, in front of Micheal Faraday's desk, to the Royal Fuking Society. Ya get it? He wrapped himself in the flag of standard physics, and when he had them all buttered up, he ripped off the veil.

    One must establish some level of consistency and reliability before one can make outrageous claims and get any sort of positive attention. If you are not credible, well ya. You are "wasting time".

  • Proxmox is Debian, so much of your ideas could translate directly across. That said, I try to mod the PVE server as liitle as possible.

    Proxmox makes it so easy to spin up yet another VM or LCX to handle services with its core offerings. Also google "proxmox helper scripts" to find tteck's additional stash of ready-made LCX.

  • Ya, he's been flooding. I'm pretty sure mods nuked his last post.

  • Ur a nut.

    You should watch the second David Tong video. Notice how he makes his points. Nobody thinks he's nutty. See that?

    Emulate it.

  • This is just Time Cube or the Carnicom Chemtrails site rehashed. Buncha bullshit. Sure, the author (found a name. Rowan Brad Quni) is discussing some actual physics concepts, but none of this is new or even controversial. Acting like information theory is some sort of conspiracy against reality is just not going to move any subject forward.

    Don't bother trying to interpret their point.
    Here. Some actual info.

  • For anybody considering using the Proxmox ESXi Import Wizard, you should watch this video.

    https://www.proxmox.com/en/services/training-courses/videos/proxmox-virtual-environment/proxmox-ve-import-wizard-for-vmware

    Personally, I don't watch tech videos. Give me the documentation and let me go. Well, the folks at Proxmox made the unusual decision of releasing the full and complete directions on using the Import Tool via this video. I don't know of any other official source where you get the full intricate details of an optimal virtual machine import and conversion to VirtIO.

    Ya, it sux. Watch the video anyway.

  • Um ... that thing about vmdk and qcow being the same ... that's ... not correct. I've never heard anyone say anything like that before. Its so wild that I can't even find a link to refute it.

    But anyway, to convert VMDK and QCOW2, you need qemu-utils. Run this ...

    qemu-img convert

  • Um ... you did that yourself, you know. You ran this.

    apt update

    The correct command is this.

    apt-get dist-upgrade.

    If you use the GUI to upgrade and watch what it does, it runs this second command. As you've discovered, its not optional. Fabian should have told you so in that post. He's probably tired of relating that message to folks.

  • This is the correct answer. No, we are not doctors. Yes, it is known that shingles does NOT go away and re-occurs in about 1-10 cases if left untreated. The treatment is a highly effective vaccine that if you are of age you should definitely get regardless of if you've had a shingles flareup previously.

  • Boy. You asked about Proxmox. Nobody said anything.

    How does Proxmox make it easier? Have you used it? All sorts of ways. Like, its a full virtual infrastructure management system instead of just an OS. Proxmox loves ZFS. It does many of the things you've mentioned here.

    Proxmox does have its own backup system that can work with an NFS target or with their smart dedupe storage and replication server product. https://www.proxmox.com/en/products/proxmox-backup-server/overview

    You've got some pretty advanced ideas and perhaps have already moved beyond the Proxmox question. But if you are curious and haven't used it, spin up a server and give it a whirl.

  • Who cares? It's over and done. Too late.

    You are not done with this disease. It can happen to you again.

    The obvious conclusion is: Get the vax.

  • Nearly as unbelievable, the other way to distribute software was to publish in gaming magazines.

    Yes, all the code was printed onto the pages of a magazine. And then young nerds bought these magazines and spent days or weeks manually typing in and debugging the hundreds of lines of BASIC to run some game. And then the magazine would be passed onto the next nerd, like comics and pornography.

    My own miserable system was a TI 99/4a with a cassette player for data storage. It sounded like a dial-up modem. I typed in a lot of programs and stored them on tapes. Then I started tearing the developed work apart and building my own stuff. It was years before I could call myself a programmer. (I was twelve.) Line-number BASIC sorta ruined me, actually. Learning about object-oriented functions was quite difficult after starting out with GOTO and GOSUB.

  • They don't mention it here, but there appears to be a similar broad positive effect from pretty much any vaccination. It seems that firing up the immune system is generally good for you, and the benefits spread to areas seemingly unrelated to the shot itself. This is relatively new info to me. I've never done the seasonal flu vaccine, but I'm going to start, for exactly this reason. Well, that and I'll be there anyway for covid shots ...

  • I'll go farther and say that its wrong. Evolution may be a random walk, but random walk is a method of getting places. Evolution random walks to the next needed feature. Evolution is not at all blind.

  • I have one keyboard with its own display, an old G15. I went through all the work to set it up. Used it to track system stats for a week. Went back to my Unicomp and the 'fancy' G15 has sat in my junk pile since.

    Keyboards to not need displays. They are for typing. You shouldn't even look at your fingers, let alone a display.

  • Do it. Jump in. Just start with whatever you can assemble.
    It's a great way to keep your room warm.

  • I don't know about the Ubuntu LCX. I don't container much.

    I'd do this with a virtual machine and TrueNAS. Those are just the tools I like to use. The TrueNAS Scale ISO will install qemu-guest-agent, so you don't need to worry about drivers. Make sure to build it with Virtio SCSI Single disk controllers. Use one 50gb OS disk for the install. Add huge data disk(s) after the install.
    Promox Disk options ... SSD emulation, Discard, IO Thread, No cache ... and I use Write Back (unsafe). Use the Virtio NIC.

    And try it again. Hopefully faster this time.
