I mean does he get played around the sides a lot? If not, closing down the angles as much as possible should be correct right? So many situations are impossible to play reactively in this league.

If only deductive logic was applicable in the US justice system.
Absolutely loving this comment-chain.
Look. You can't have it both ways. You can either be the "i use arch (and so should everybody else) btw" guy or you can be dumbfounded by people accusing you of being the "i use arch (and so should everybody else) btw" guy. If you do both (in succession I guess) you're just a parody of your own pro-FOSS message.
I know I'm probably opening another can of worms by saying this but I'm an absolute privacy advocate. And guess what? I use multiple Windows-installations as part of my day-to-day. Yes I do want that number to migrate towards zero but so far, especially when it comes to laptops (and more so laptops with multiple GPUs) I just never saw any appeal in crippling my own experience just for the sake of subjective "freedom".
So now imagine a person like me trying to look for help setting up a Pi-hole installation for the sake of privacy. In comes the evangelical "If you actually truly care about your privacy, why are you using Windows?" Sound familiar? How about helpful (in terms of getting someone closer to a Pi-hole installation)?
2500 miles sheesh. That shit's nuclear war proof then.
Said like a person that doesn't want to "argue till the end of the universe". Maybe just take the hint once there's multiple people trying to politely tell you the same thing? Prove that you're not just good at fortifying the walls around your bubble. Criticism is rarely meant to attack us. Nobody is accusing you of a crime. I know it's hard to take that step back from one's own perspective.
Again, just because something works for you doesn't mean you have to be evangelical about it. Don't try to be the "I use arch btw" meme for real.
Once you face the (seemingly) inevitable necessity of further hardware purchases it does become sort of tedious I must say. I used to treat my raid parity as a "backup" for way longer than I'd like to admit because I didn't want my costs to double. With unraid I at least don't have the same management workload that I have on my main box where I have a rolling release Arch with manually installed ZFS where the build always has to line up with the kernel version and all that jazz. Unraid is my deploy and forget box. Rsync every 24h. God bless.
Proxmox has been recommended to me before I switched my main server to Arch but once I realised that it has no direct docker support I thought I'd rather just do things myself. It really is a matter of preference. It's kind of hard to believe that all the functionality in Proxmox can be had for absolutely free.
don't owe OP an answer
Exactly. Since its dawn forums on the internet have been full of people countering legitimate questions with "why would you even ask that?". Not only is nobody owed your "contribution", it is of zero value.
because something exists doesn't mean it should be installed
Elitist much. Why would you rather assume that a tech-savvy person is asking for tech guidance than the infinitely more likely opposite case? The answer is because you (elitist) think what works for you is the only valid path and all must be guided to your subjective treasure. Your intentions may be benign but your methods are not.
It's understandable that you want to take your virtualization-capabilities to the next level but I also don't see the appeal of containerizing unraid like many others here. I started using unraid last autumn and to me it really is about being able to mix drive sizes. It's a backup to my main server's ZFS pool so (fingers crossed) I don't even really worry about drive failures on unraid. (I have double parity on ZFS and single parity on unraid.)
Anyways my point is I started out with 8 SATA slots plus an old USB-based enclosure with i set to JBOD mode and that was a pretty stupid idea. unraid couldn't read SMART data from those USB drives. Every once in a while one of the drives would suddenly show up as having an unsupported partition layout. Couple weeks ago all 5 drives in the enclosure started showing up as unusable. So as you can imagine I dropped that enclosure and now am working solely off the 8 internal slots. I'd imagine that virtualizing unraid's disk access might potentially yield similar issues. At least the comments of people here remind me of my own janky setup.
Could you share that script? Sounds like a nifty grassroots tech solution.
It's not an assumption that transitioning to (Proton on) Linux is hard with no prior knowledge. An assumption is that you're probably talking from the perspective of a tech-savvy person that doesn't need to open a Lemmy thread to find their desired software. OP doesn't owe you a question that computes in your head. Open Source software for Windows exists therefore it can be installed.
I share your optimism but not because I put my faith in the guys (not) pushing the button. Putin at his core and in terms of where he's coming from is a small time FSB thug who made it too big for his own good. Perpetualizing corruption to keep himself in power and amassing enormous wealth at the cost of his people was fun for about one and a half decades. What does a kid do when it gets bored of its newest toy? It demands more of course. There is no nuclear option because little Vladimir knows at that point his days of demanding more will be counted. No more backing from big brother Xi. And all the reason for NATO to actually step in.
Some draw the analogy that you never know what a cornered Pitbull is gonna do but I don't see that being applicable. His recent job reassignments show that he does not feel safe in his position as de-facto dictator anymore. He is much more worried for his domestic survival right now than anything going down on the international stage. He can't nuke his own mutineers thus he needs to keep everyone in rotation so their levels of influence don't get out of hand.
I can't tell you what endgame there is left for Vladolf Putler. The only way onward is to keep the war going, which probably will require a full transition to a wartime economy sooner than later, but he probably doesn't want that toll on the Russian people. Nuclear weapons would mean the opposite of keeping the war of attrition going and he knows that.
