Hard Pass

Fuck AI

I wanted to shared my enthusiasm, which makes me feel like a little boy (despite me being 50+) fascinated by how such complex systems can be managed so easily by novices. I started using Proxmox recently. I had a machine running one VM with various docker images installed. But NVMe was tiny. So I setup another node and got it to share the same NFS share on the NAS, where I had saved full backups of the VM. Once added the NFS share to the new node (with a bigger ZFS local partition) I simply restored the VM from the NFS share that had been backed up from the original node. It seemlessly imported and started. Then I cloned on the new node so that I could get it on the new ZFS partition. Now the next task is to get a bigger NVMe on the original machine, install Proxmox from scratch, and add to cluster so that it shared the backup NFS share. I just then need to understand how to get HA up and running so that VMs are always synced flawlessly. Proxmox is super brilliant. I feel like I have a data center at home :-) I could not imagine this system was so flexible and relatively easy to use. The people that deliver and contribute to this stuf are super cool. A couple of proxmox nodes, a Truenas scale NAS and a good backup strategy and your data is really safe and rock solid ... I hope :-)

Sigh This is becoming a weekly thing.

Context:

I regularly have takes which upset libs (anti-electoralism, primarily), and I regularly have takes which upset MLs (anti-"AES", primarily). When this happens, my words sometimes ends up in a post in some drama comm with a lot of people insisting that I'm clearly in the "bad group". I.e. Libs will call me a tankie, and MLs will call me a lib, as is tradition.

So when this happens, like clockwork, the flip-side of this particular equation (Libs<>MLs), will make a post in their own drama comm, smugly gloating about how "they knew this would happen".

People, when I state a political position, I'm not doing it to cozy up to non-anarchist movements, it's because that's what I actually believe...non-anarchists being upset is not in my list of concerns. It is what it is.

Thanks to her sneaky separatist manoeuvring, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith seems to have wedged herself between the proverbial rock and metaphorical hard place.

If she doesn’t do what the Alberta separatists in her United Conservative Party (UCP) demand and call a referendum using the wording on their Citizen Initiative petition – “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?” – they may very well depose her in an internal party coup.
