Nah, if you are in control of the vehicle. Meaning if you have the keys and the ability to turn it on and drive. Sleeping drunk in a vehicle can get you a DUI even if the car is off and you're parked.

If we ever have the tech, I would love to have something that records dreams. I would spend so much money to be able to watch my dreams again.

She has been lied to her whole life that the police are there to help. She learned a quick, painful lesson that it isn't true.

Not who you replied to, but I personally feel it's more than just guns.

It's the culture around guns, the worship of guns, the lack of better conflict resolution skills, the rise of extremist echo chambers, and harmful rhetoric online.

Even the "come and try to take them" and "fuck around and find out" attitude implicitly says that guns are going to solve whatever conflict people have and that it's a valid solution equal with other options. The rhetoric doesn't tell people that it's the option of last resort for conflicts.

We need to change our culture, our respect for guns, and ultimately give people better tools for solving conflicts. The solution isn't necessarily more laws, they can certainly be a part of it, but we aren't going to legislate this problem away.

If you are a gun owner, promote better safety with firearms. Call out those who treat them irresponsibly. If you are around those that act like they are the solution to all problems, give them shit for it. Make them realize it's not a proportional response to kill someone for a minor disagreement or property theft. Call people out who brandish their firearm - it's not a de-escalation.

Realize that not everyone is a threat and trying to harm you or your family. The people who are going to harm or kidnap you are so incredibly rare that you are unlikely to ever encounter them. And the situation where you don't have any other options but to kill them is even rarer. Most situations you can find a way to just leave. I'm not saying that there aren't dangerous people out there, but the vast majority are generally nice people that just want to live their own lives.

If you aren't a gun owner, take a safety class and learn a little about them. You don't have to like them or own one, but try to understand that there are many who do enjoy them. The majority of gun owners aren't the ones causing issues.

As a society, put more time and money into healthcare and particularly mental healthcare. Work to raise people out of poverty and remove the socioeconomic pressures that lead many towards crime. We need to spend more time with each other, see things from each other's point of view, and break down barriers between each other. We need to be more empathetic. We need to learn to accept losing in disagreements. Make it okay to be wrong.

Some of these arent truly concrete steps, but more of an ideal we need to work towards. But ultimately, it's our culture that needs to change. Our culture treats them as a solution to problems and that's why we see them used for even the dumbest of issues like a blocked aisle on a bus.

Snake/rat shot is designed for this task. Basically small shotgun pellets in a handgun cartridge. I'd think it a rather small target to aim a regular bullet at.

One thing that I constantly have to remind myself is that people I'm debating with live a vastly different life experience. So many people who are so antigun clearly live in an urban or suburban environment and cannot fathom living somewhere rural enough that defending livestock from predators or hunting for food is a fact of life.

And some that are so pro-gun live in rural areas and don't get the issues that dense populations where guns are cause issues.

Personally, I don't think guns are the main problem. It's the culture around guns, the worship of guns, the lack of better conflict resolution skills, the rise of extremist echo chambers, and harmful rhetoric online.

Even the "come and try to take them" and "fuck around and find out" attitude implicitly says that guns are going to solve whatever conflict people have and that it's a valid solution equal with other options. The rhetoric doesn't tell people that it's the option of last resort for conflicts.

It's hilarious that they do it in a way that blatantly goes against the flag code. How disrespectful it is to change the flag, to wear the flag, or use it for advertisements.

I have seriously considered creating and printing pamphlets with the flag code on it to give to these faux patriots. Or maybe even those fake ticket things where I can check off what exactly they did to disrespect it.

I even had a neighbor who painted the floor of their trailer with it. They literally drove vehicles and trampled on the flag daily.

4 U.S. Code § 8 - Respect for flag

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

I like tits, but there was a specific gone wild version for those that wanted to be more explicit. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't want just another thirst trap.

I hated that the reddit one went from enjoying a beer in the shower to just another place for people to show tits.

But we can certainly make one

Not just more voters. More "wrong" voters. Like young, black, and young black voters.

I have to agree very hard with this. My depression and anxiety were in a very large part caused by the unmanaged symptoms of ADHD.

When the ADHD got diagnosed and addressed the depression and anxiety mostly disappeared.

Infighting.

Even in a post-scarcity world, people have different desires and wants. AGI-gov would have to align with some political idealogies and since we can never agree as a human race on things, it would just lead to struggles.

Any sort of utopia is impossible to align with human nature without some radical means to control people's emotions and desires. Because so, any perceived utopia is ultimately a dystopia.

Muggle isnt a slur, just as wizard isnt a slur. It's not a derogatory term. It's just their word for non-magic people while non-magic people use the word wizard or witch.

I constantly got the day wrong on ops. Saturday 0200... Uhh shit. Friday night?

Vinyl records. I like to own copies of music I like. It's much more satisfying to go through and find something to listen to.

Bottle openers from breweries I go to. Fairly small and they have by the bar. I don't drink as much beer as I used to so that's slowing down.

As you've found, proxmox isnt an application that runs on windows or Linux. It's an OS that you can install. And yes, you can configure bit to auto start the VMs when the machine boots.

It's designed to run headless, so you'll do all your configurations from a web browser. If you want to go crazy, I'm sure that raspberry pi can be configured as KVM for it (though piKVM is a bit of extra hardware.)

If you have something like tailscale or wireguard to a machine in the house, you can easily reach the web gui from any other machine on the VPN network and reboot the VMs that way.

You can even build monitoring that reboots the pihole VM of it stops responding to DNS queries.

Why are you wanting to move the VM to a bare metal install?

In my experience, I would think the more efficient method is to install a hypervisor like proxmox and move the VM and there. And then run another VM for pihole, and maybe even a third for tailscale. It lets you have the ability to expand as you need and to better manage backups and services easier.

Otherwise, if you are determined to go from VM to bare metal, you want to find a backup solution that can backup the whole machine and restore it with a recovery disk. I think veeam and Acronis would work. There are tons out there.

Based on your replies, it doesn't seem like you want a discussion on the idea but that you want people to say how good of an idea this is.

Truth is, it's not. It's a half thought out idea that can't work. ASICs aren't that terribly unique that only a handful of chip manufacturers have the ability to make them. There are existing companies that can move on quickly because they already have the infrastructure and processes in place, but other chip manufacturers can enter the space.

This assumes there is no black marker or secondary marker for ASICs.

This assumes that one governments restrictions would be effective when there are companies in more than just the single country with these restrictions.

Restricting hardware also implies that hardware today (or ASICs of tomorrow) are going to stay as the tech for AI. It also hampers the R&D of this type of hardware.

It creates a barrier of entry to startups and smaller business that may use generative AI in positive ways.

It implies that the use of generative AI is inherently dangerous and needs to be regulated.

It assumes that consumer hardware wouldn't be able to match ASICs. ASICs are certainly fast, but enough consumer GPUs would match the processing power of a single ASIC.

It assumes the government is good, truthful, effective, honest, and moral.

It assumes that truth is a black and white construct.

It assumes that there will be a process to check, identify, communicate, and regulate AI generated information.

Both are high smoke point.

I have a Dell server with 12 disks ranging from 12 tb to 22 tb. I'm looking to replace it with a supermicro server that can hold 36 disks instead. It runs unraid so I can upgrade dissimilar disks easily.
