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.

China is number one. The USA needs to be number one. The USA wants to be China. Illuminati Confirmed.

It would help if the politicians entertaining these ideas knew the difference between a link and a complete summarization of the article or content on a secondary unaffiliated website.

Websites survive by generating traffic, links to these site help increase traffic, the increase in traffic means higher ad revenues. News agencies wanting to double dip is only hurting theselves.

News agencie, you can't have your cake and eat it.

"What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out."

They actually go alot further in making the scam seem legit. They setup full trading platform apps that look legit. These apps are listed in the apple store and play store, they even have real real reviews.

You download the app yourself, you setup your profiles yourself. Everything seem legit because you actually setup the acounts.

You then put money into these "accounts", you watch the value go up and down like it normally would on a stock market. Then when you are happy with your "investment", time to withdrawal and there's no money to take out.

Checks out

No worries, VMware or some of the other virtualization software's should work in this case as most other comments pointed out. Probably the most simple and straight to the point.

If you have the urge to tinker, another potential item or route you can look at is a proxmox machine. You can run multiple VMs in tandem at the same time. This would run on a standalone machine.

You would then be able to remote desktop into any virtualized OS on your home network. You can use a software like parsec which I like to access each machine from a clean interface.

I run a Hackintosh's dual booting Mac OS and Windows. So you solution is not insane as some have pointed out.

What I would suggest is maybe running a NAS on your local network to act as your share. Obviously this won't help if you dont store your working files on your NAS, but its an idea. I know no way to directly share between the two machines as they are technically not on at the same time.

Going to need a shit load of frappuccinos

Excellent example! Very rarely do you see a individual just shoot out from behind you in a line and by pass a whole queue of people.

Where as in a car you see people mounting a curb/sidewalk to make a right turn to squeeze past the individual in front of them. Or driving into oncoming traffic to get to the left hand turn lane a few seconds sooner. Or my favourite, seeing people stuck in highway traffic choose to off road to leave the highway, as opposed to waiting for the offramp. Meanwhile a crowed of individuals follows causing a unsafe situation for everyone.

Video for context regarding the last point.

I would really like to live in a town/city that does not have this issue. North America really needs to reassess its roadways and infrastructure.

The path to safe infrastructure is usually not just "remove all barriers" but instead "control the flow of traffic".

On another note all new homes and buildings no longer need fire alarms or sprinklers as deaths related to fire have gone down.

Buildings are not burning down as much as they once did. So no need to spend money and time on fire safety and protection equipment. /s

I would also argue "intent" needs to be taken into account, otherwise the general public would just be walking around destroying public and private property.

For example if a person walks or rushes through a door, and somehow the door falls off or breaks. Then that person should not be responsible for the damage, this would just be standard "wear and tear".

If that same individual intended to break the same example door with physical force, such as smash the glass, or rip the door off the hinges, then this would be property damage.

Anyways, in no way should a worker have to kneel and beg in any situation, especially when they fear losing their job if they dont make the next delivery.

This article IMO shows a lack of worker protections and on job support within the gig economy. Workers should not have this fear, especially for minimum wage. If something happens to a worker during their shift they should have a direct support line, with support staff ready to assist.

We estimate we can sell up to 80% of airtime before inducing seizures.

Radio ads were why I switched to Spotify years ago. Though when Spotifys ads started being a little more intrusive I switched to Plex and Plexamp. My next switch may be jellyfin and Finamp.
