Not really. If your focus is beyond the next 4 years, you can argue letting Democrats lose is the best strategy to stop wars on the planet down the line.

In fact if Kamala was going to loose either way (as it happened) it's a good thing that she lost hard.

I would like to think a lot of sacrifices for the sake of my "fellows".

Realistically some mild ineffective activism with a whole lot of hiding because I'm not responsible for the idiots that let the situation get there in the first place.

I feel like getting a feel for walking and financially getting to a place where you can familiarize yourself with public transport can make the transition easier.

You can also pay attention to the road signs while walking, they are quite intuitive and they can help boost your survival rate once you get to drive an actual bike.

The Romans swords were not actual swords.

They also had shields and that changes things a lot.

Werdly enough I listen to its soundtrack on the regular.

Well my anedoctal evidence is diametrically opposite to yours.

It's time to invoke the sacred sources.

I'm not an expert, are you? All the in dephts historical weapon stuff I met in my life has told me and confirmed me spears win against swords.

Absolutely not. It's the other way around there's a reason any army get spears while swords are just a simbol for nobility.

Get your daughter out of this relationship asap, or even better, have a serious talk with her about what scientology, explore what it is and what it does to its members together, so she can then consider the situation and navigate it for herself.

Or even better, she's already being manipulated and scientology are GOOD at it while you are just yet another concerned relative they can easily cut off your daughter's life.

Get her out, even against her better judgement if she is a minor, but honestly even if she is not.

If the guy is renouncing Scientology, MAYBE, he can stay.

Why is noone mentioning the fact that the trip would be paid by the other guy?

Personally I would never accept that in a billion years. Is he trying to buy your forgiveness or something? Gross.

I personally have never noticed flaws when such tecniques are employed, but it may be just immersion doing its job. I've never heard of Austin Power being singled out for its special effects...

That's not their metod?

 

I have a proxmox+Debian+docker server and I'm looking to setup my backups so that they get backed up (DUH) on my Linux PC whenever it comes online on the local network.

I'm not sure if what's best is backing up locally and having something else handling the copying, how to have those backup run only if they haven't run in a while regardless of the availability of the PC, if it's best to have the PC run the logic or to keep the control over it on the server.

Mostly I don't want to waste space on my server because it's limited...

I don't know the what and I don't know the how, currently, any input is appreciated.

 

Hi,

I've been playing with a Dell mini PC (OptiPlex 7070) that I set up with Proxmox and a single Debian virtual machine that hosts a bunch of containers (mostly an *arr stack).

All the data resides on the single SSD that came with the machine, but I'm now satisfied with the whole ordeal and would like to migrate my storage from my PC to this solution.

What's the best approach software side? I have a bunch of HD in of varying size and age (therefore expected reliability) and I'd initially dedicate such storage to data I can 100% afford to lose (basically media).

I read I should avoid USB (even though my mini PC exposes a USB-C) for reliability, but on the other hand I'm not sure what other options I have that doesn't force me to buy a NAS or properly sized HD to install inside the machine...

Also, what's a good filesystem for my usecase?

Thank for any tips.

 

I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!

 

I had a dual boot I rarely used because reasons, one of them being that it was Manjaro and it kinda sort of borked itself and evey time I upgraded it asked me to make choices I had no idea what they meant.

I wanted to give Pop_OS a try so I went and nuked the Manjaro and set up the boot, root and swap of Pop_OS in its place.

Point is, I had the /home of Manjaro on a different location (The OS is on a SSD shared with windows and I put /home on a HD). I did not point Pop_OS to it at setup for fear of it being nuked (Will it nuke it? If not I guess I can do a new install and point it there?)

Can I link Pop_OS home to the old Manjaro home or do I need to take care of something (format it, remove some specific folder...).

I ask because I convinced myself the matter was trivial, but in the process of making sure the /home of Pop_OS was empty I ended up with a system hang and my passwords (both user AND root) being rejected and I had to reinstall the whole thing, so maybe there's more to /home than just a bunch of data?

Thanks!
