  • I would succeed because no one ever notices me. Like 7 days in, the BBEG would be dead, the world would assume it's natural causes.

  • Everything ends and everything changes.

    Might as well see what will come your way.

  • I'm still super waiting for Lady Bird. I cannot wait to give it a try, but it's gonna be like 2026 before they start rolling out builds for general use.

  • The thing about open-source software is that if you fork the software, then your fork can have its own rules.

    You can even make the fork of the software fully closed source except for the open source software that you used to originally develop it.

    You can sell open source software as if it were proprietary.

    You can basically do anything you want with it as long as you respect the original source from the code that you have taken.

    Once the software is no longer in Mozilla's hands, then Mozilla's portion of the license no longer applies.

  • 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.

  • The problem is we don't have a very good method to review our old patterns and make sure that they still hold up in the current meta.

    This is how you get old fucks like the political leaders of the United States reacting to emails as if they were gigantic scandals when reality has moved far beyond that.

  • Guaranteed this guy is also like, "We should execute child molesters in the most horrific way imaginable! We should drag them into the town square and strip their skin off with tiny razors and then boil them in drain cleaner until they die!"

    But at the same time thinks that arming women for self defense is "a bad idea, not gonna go well, lot of innocent rapists getting murdered" smdh

  • Its free and fun

  • Generally, people disapprove of it if you start yelling out, KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER MURDER MURDER KILL!

  • I'm just gonna go into the light and let you guys deal with it.

    Ultimate prank, letting everyone else clean up their own messes.

  • It's kind of interesting that America does this thing where we punish ourselves.

    And by punishing ourselves I mean the rich people bond together to torment the poor people by flaunting their wealth and exacerbating their poverty until the poors scream and struggle.

    Typically this happens while natural disasters are also happening like the dust bowl or when earthquakes, fires and plagues beleaguer the nation.

    We do this in order to make ourselves feel better in the long run by overcoming that and returning to a point where the rich people are not bonding together so tightly and the poor people are not so oppressed that they would rather die than continue living.

    We are pretty good at that, and it has sustained this economy for at least the last 120 years.

    But aside for that, I'm proud of the fact that the poors persevere, and that eventually the rich will unmake themselves, and we will inherit the earth.

  • The first company to sell their soul to mammon was going to win the search engine wars.

    If it hadn't been googie it would have been whoever inked the first contract.

  • That's like saying that because there are only 12 notes in music that you can't write an original composition.

  • Lots of them.

    My most common pastime is just sitting around thinking about things, and I'm sure quite a handful. I am the only person who's ever thought that particular thought.

    Like thinking about dimensions, the first dimension is a point, the second dimension is a plane, the third dimension is a cube, right?

    Then you cross another fourth dimension and that's time, but that fourth dimension could be thought of as a dot in time, that dot being the present moment.

    That would mean that the fifth dimension is a plane of time, containing all of the possible past moments and all of the possible future moments for that dot as observed by the observer.

    The sixth dimension is a cube of time, containing all of the possible paths and all of the possible futures for every observer within that closed time-like curve universe thing.

    So then what's the seventh dimension? Well, that seventh dimension would be a dot, and that dot contains all of the potential cubes of time and the cubes of existence, in which the original universe is from the observer's viewpoint.

    So then the eighth dimension would be a plane of all of the potential universes that the observer could have possibly existed in, and then the ninth dimension would be a cube of all of the potential planes of universes in which the observer could observe.

    And the tenth dimension is all of that combined together into a single dot, all of the possible universes and all of the possible timelines that have anything to do with the observer who is observing them, folding like an Ouroboros's tail back into its own mouth.

    Of course, there's probably a million ways to disprove this thought, and there's probably an untold number of ways why this thought does not congru with our rational understanding of the universe.

    It is highly reliant upon there being some sort of symmetry between each of the levels of dimension in numeric order, or in some sort of observable order that can be laid out in a numerical format.

    I am aware that it is a flawed thought, but it is a thought experiment and it is fun, and it's one that I came up with just thinking about how the first through fourth dimensions are currently laid out.

  • I believe that in this context, original does not mean you are the only person who ever had this thought. I mean, it's a thought that you generated yourself without somebody else having given you the information needed to generate that thought in the first place.

  • 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

  • For real, they make like a $30 can of 2K clear coat that has a little button in the bottom. Watch some YouTube videos on how to apply it, tape off or mask off everything around it, respray and you're done.
