Of course you are looking at outliers and I feel like you’re right to the point that outliers like that should have special assessments or breaks.

Where I live, the taxes are pretty high for real estate, but if you are a senior citizen, you can get a discount where your tax rate is locked in at the value that it was when you retired.

I also have some acquaintances who inherited a house and at the time houses were very cheap but they didn’t pay the taxes and they were super upset that they were going to lose their house because they didn’t pay the taxes.

So now they’re bunking up and living in apartments and Scattered because they didn’t want to drum up the two or three thousand dollars a year in real estate taxes that they had to pay to keep an entire house.

If that happens, I will sell my citizenship and give you a hundred thousand dollars of it.

I am both proud of and hating myself for figuring that out on my own.

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.

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.

Don’t. Just enjoy it.

There used to be a greater power alone on the sea:
You became a light on the dark side of me. Love became a draw that I could not appeal. But did you know that when it snows, My eyes become alive, and the light that you shine can be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey…

I’ve used the ATEM Mini and it works great. It’s like as dog simple as you can possibly get a couple of buttons to push and everything just fucking works.

As long as your faith makes rich people feel good about themselves I guess.

I remember reading somewhere that the maximum amount of sleep debt that you can accumulate is something on the neighborhood of 20 hours.

Basically, by the time you have rested up 20 hours, whatever excess of sleep debt you had over that will be erased along with it.

That’s not to say that sleeping an extra 20 hours in a single go is a good or achievable thing, or that it would somehow magically undo all of the accumulated fatigue and wear from denying yourself that much sleep over that long of a time period.

Only that by the time you have accumulated an additional 20 hours of sleep by sleeping like an extra hour a day for three weeks that physiologically, there would be no continued improvement in your functioning by continuing to sleep extra.

I mean, as far as it actually goes, you have have slept enough, then you have have not slept enough, and that goes through a range of a “little tired” to “dead”.

I got involved in a argument between two older people about whether the earth rotated or not.

The very strange thing is that after I confirmed to them that the earth did indeed rotate and that is why the sun would rise in the east and set in the west, that was the end of the conversation and they thanked me and moved on.

Some calendars used to be 12 months of 30 days each and then a 5-day non-month month to make up the difference. Julien took that away from us

I personally think it’s like a short circuit in the brain’s reward circuit or something. If you can convince people that what they are doing is achieving a greater good, they will do an endless amount of evil in order to achieve it.

Those that wake up from this delusion often end up being horrified at their own actions.

It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway:

If you are anticipating being enriched by the suffering of others, you are not in the right.
