I like that it says they are different from projects like TubeArchivist, says “read the readme for why”, and then it doesn’t have an explanation.

I’ve been using TubeArchivist for years now and it’s been great. Solid update cadence, reliable, and I have no idea why this project is different from it

I think it depends on if they retain their memories. I often think about how sad it is that we only have one life to live, that so much of our existence is based on where we happened to be born. It live a completely different life, a different childhood, a different continent - I think we’d gain so much empathy as a species.

Oh completely agree - but if forced to choose between those two types of trucks I know which one I’d say is more reasonable.

That’s neat you found a girl like that, but it is not the norm from my experience, as it looks like it’s yours too. I usually see a lot of angry men who are too eager to swerve lanes and show off how cool their truck (and by extension they) are.

I invite you to read my comment again.

Same goes for towing. If you own a boat I might get it, or again a trailer if you’re towing something regularly, then sure, you need the torque.

Again though, I ask how regularly you do this. If you go out every week? Sure it makes sense, have a truck to carry them out every week. However, an ATV is light enough a cheap trailer attached to any number of vehicles would be able to tow it. If it’s monthly or less, then again, renting a truck is cheaper on the books, or again a cheap trailer is only a couple thousand.

Again, I grew up in rural America surrounded by truck people exactly like you. This is not some new opinion I gained a couple months ago. Do you want to keep trying to trip me up because I guarantee I’ve heard it all before. To date there are only maybe a small reasons I see to own a truck, and most of them involve some level of using it for blue-collar work.

Insulting me doesn’t make it untrue.

Trucks are for hauling things and towing things. Again, the vast majority of truck drivers, and I’m not saying all, but the vast majority of people do not need a truck.

Most truck beds now are only a few feet long. Minivans and old school station wagons can store more in them then most modern trucks can. Why do you think Amazon and UPS use vans instead of pickups? Because they’re more efficient at hauling things.

Then even if you need to haul things and you choose to disregard the whole thing about vans having more cargo space, I ask how often? How often do you actually roll up to the home Depot and grab a while pile of lumber to take home that wouldn’t fit in a van? If it’s not once a week or more that you fill the truck, congrats you’re losing money on your truck. Truck rentals are about 20 bucks and haul my stuff just as easily back to my home, with the added benefit of them I’m not paying for gas and maintenance for this giant thing as my daily driver nor a huge car payment either.

Oh and proof of all of this? Crew cabs. The stupidest invention and absolutely proof it’s just marketing. “Hey we convinced you that you need a truck even though all you really need is a rental truck every once in a while, but oh no you have this family, where do they go? Don’t worry now you have five seats AND a shortened bed!”. They already solved that problem. Vans and station wagons. Can haul minimum 5 people and if you needed to haul shit you just folded down the seats, could fit an entire sheet of plywood in there.

Same goes for towing. If you own a boat I might get it, or again a trailer if you’re towing something regularly, then sure, you need the torque.

I would wager that 95% of truck owners do not actually need a truck.

Uh, nope. Lived in rural America. Most truck drivers are pavement processes who haul something maybe a handful of times a year. The vast majority.

There was not a shift from 30 years ago everyone driving tiny cars and hatchbacks to now where everyone became blue collar and needed a truck for work suddenly. It’s corporate marketing. Corporations can get around fuel standards by making trucks instead of cars, so they convinced everyone that having a truck was somehow necessary, and the good people of the USA gladly ate it up making the f150 the most popular vehicle on the roads followed by the other truck models.

Also, “most people on these forums live in major cities”. Ftfy. It wasn’t until I left my town in Iowa did I realize how many people there are. The entire population of thestate of Iowa lives in my one city.

That small red truck is a truck of a man who truly is masculine. Doesn’t give a shit what other people think, needs it to carry supplies, and didn’t want to waste any money.

Giant lifted trucks are the opposite of masculine. They’re for showing off, desperately trying to get people to notice them, they arely if ever haul anything (if they even can anymore with the lift), and they wasted huge amounts of money.

I used to be one of those people, that good and bad movies were black and white. I was stupid for thinking so.

Movies can be good for different moods and audiences. Sometimes I want to watch a heart wrenching drama, Oscar style, and I can get up after it and think wow that moved me. That is a good movie.

Sometimes I’m feeling in a funk and I don’t know what to watch, o I want to watch giant robots punch aliens with minimal plot. That movie is also good, just for a different mood.

Growing up in an ag state I was shoved propaganda left and right about how great rural states were, that cities depended on us, we were the breadbasket.

Our crops? Cattle corn and soybeans.

Cattle corn, aka feed for cattle, inedible for humans, and subsidized out the ass by the gov. So much is overproduced that they literally had to find other usages for it, which is where ethanol comes from. Subsidized corn making cheap fuel to have cars run on subsidized roads.

Soybeans, also subsidizes, and what is used is mostly exported to other countries like China.

We provided very little food to our own citizens. You listen to these rural farmers though and they’ll tell you up and down how gov payouts and leeches are a drain on society, hooboy do they hate them. Until it’s time to get their own check.

Thx im fine thx 4 always being thrre xxxx

I did synapse about a year ago but kind of wish I had done conduit, it seems so much simpler. That being said, all of the bridges and add-ons assume you’re running synapse

I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

My recommendations:

• No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

• Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.

I seem to recall a lot of people saying this is exactly what they were worried about when Plex forced everyone to central authentication servers.

Followed with one of their friends saying “Yeah Tim’s an asshole” and them replying either “Yes he’s such an asshole” or equally likely “Please respect our privacy”. Either way, super annoying.

I feel you exactly the same. I don’t know how my coworkers do it. They can literally get screamed at, called out in a meeting in front of others and it’s like nothing to them. Meanwhile I fight back tears and my voice raises and I panic. In the corporate world that means I’m weak. I’m damn good at my job but in a situation like that I just crumple, and to leadership they don’t look at my projects or outcomes, all they see are those few instances.

It also haunts me years and years later.

Oh god now there is a concept I long forgot about!

Vaguebooking. At least it died out for me, when my age group grew up past high school. Specifically, the vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass “motivation quotes” or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life, usually pointed at someone.

I still have one person who never moved on from high-school who still does crap like this, but now I just still follow them for the pure nostalgia and the joy of seeing these. Seriously, they show how immature they are, unable to actually go talk about their emotions a veil so thin of “please I want my privacy” while posting about it online.

maybe they could try donating more money to him

And the whole thing is “does it matter?”. To us, no, it doesn’t matter at all.
