As a former homeowner who is now renting again after moving across the country, you lose a lot renting.

So many small and large details of my home I built for me that if I add to my apartment will only serve to let the landlord raise the rent later and/or evict me to find someone willing to pay more for my own additions.

It’s less about what you spend and more about freedom, control, and who benefits from caring for the property.

Also modern apartments are turning every aspect of living into add-on subscriptions. Pet rent, parking fee, ev charging fee, even gym fees are popping up now

Thank god some federal laws changed that blocked landlords from bundling specific cable and internet providers. That was horrible the first time we moved west and found that your building controlled what services you could even buy.

They didn’t have to accept delivery. I preordered a model 3 way back. I was so far down the list I was scheduled to receive delivery just after the cave diving submarine pedophile incident (6years ago in 2018). I cancelled my order and got a full refund on the deposit when he pulled that shit. Now I keep the signed thank you letter for preordering as a joke for parties

Given the cyber truck wasn’t even available for preorder until 2019, I have no sympathy for people claiming they didn’t know any better. Especially if their only excuse is not reading the preorder contract on something that costs nearly 100k and knowing they could cancel at any time.

I have actively pointed and laughed at multiple cyber trucks driving around San Diego this week. I have witnessed other people are doing the same. There’s an absurd number of them here, 3 parked on my street alone. One is wrapped in fucking fake gold leaf for fucks sake. How do you not openly laugh at these idiots

“I want to draw attention to myself”
“Wait not like that”

One example is allowing the construction of ADUs. Throwing a small apartment on top of a garage is an extremely common addition these days that requires minimal waste.

Similarly even without ADUs, many homes in my neighborhood just outside of Boston have been remodeled from single family 5 beds to 2/3 family condos without being completely demolished. This was largely made possible by eliminating rules and regulations like the parking requirements for houses near public transit and loosening restrictions on conversions themselves by reducing restrictions for setbacks and similar rules. My own home is a condo conversion and it’s the only reason we could afford to own here.

Hello fellow person who can’t wear Birkenstocks

Oh wow. So surprised that a EV model not priced the same as a fucking Maserati is popular

Now we just need fucking sedans not made by Tesla

In the US the clawback itself is no longer legal if it is part of a severance agreement. They can’t take the money back if you talk about them

FYI

As is often the case, when a presidential administration changes, so may a prior rule issued by the National Labor Relation Boards (NLRB or the Board). On February 21, 2023, the Board returned to its pre-Trump administration rule: broad confidentiality and non-disparagement terms in severance agreements will be deemed unlawful if they tend to interfere with, restrain, or coerce an employee’s ability to speak about the severance agreement or otherwise communicate with other employees about their former employer. The prior Trump-era rulings allowed employers to include confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses in severance agreements, but the NLRB’s latest ruling in McLaren Macomb reverts to the old rule placing employers in an uncertain situation with their current and future severance agreements.

Horizontal Territory Allocation is a common practice with Oligopolies with physical products (which the telephone wires and routing equipment they build to run the internet very much is).

Basically two or three massive companies simply don’t enter eachothers turf by unspoken agreement and they all get to benefit by not actually competing with eachother. They they can take turns raising prices in their own turf and know their customers have to physically move to get their “competitors” prices. As long as they never actually talk to eachother about doing it it is technically not illegal.

As for how they got the turf in the first place this mostly was small governments at the town and county level signing short term exclusivity agreements with a telco to run the initial infrastructure back in the 80s-90s when this was common. And many of these municipalities actively work against new telcos moving into the area long after those original agreements ended. You can always rile up some nimbys to removed about construction noise at a small town hall and halt projects like this for decades. This is exactly how my hometown spent 8 years blocking fios in an area that only had dsl.

You tell a 40-50 something homeowner a three inch patch of their grass will be ripped up for just a week and they’ll drag their balls bare over fields of broken glass to show up to town hall week after week for 8 years to avoid it even if their isp quadruples prices in the same time frame.

Is the UK having a rural -> city migration like Japan and huge swaths of the US? Buildings from yesteryear in dying towns nowhere near any modern jobs still being counted as empty homes?

I don’t like my job at all but that doesn’t stop me from putting in maximum effort. I do it to steal skills and knowledge from them and take them to a new job.

You want to get more from your life and more from your employer? If you spend your entire workday doing the bare minimum, then you have to spend your free time building skills to get that. Fuck that, do it on their time.

The first Incredibles movie was released two years before Pixar was bought by Disney

I was replying specifically in the context of the original question. Unraid already has their services tooling built out over containers so this person already is probably using containerized versions of the arr services. It would be overkill to go build vms for these services specifically for what you said. They don’t need to be windows or osx, they don’t need hardware passthrough, they don’t need a full kernel.

That aside. You absolutely can run containers as a full isolated kernel and directly map hardware to them. CGroups absolutely allows for those use cases. You may not be using docker anymore but docker is more of a crutch for beginners who probably dont need those things.

One example of this in the real world are COS and Bottlerocket which are literally distributions of Linux where even core is components are individually running under different containers via cgroups. COS runs on every GKE cluster in the world and bottlerocket on most EKS clusters.

I can break one container without breaking all of them? I can run them in isolated container networks and even isolated cgroups if I want to. Docker hides a lot of the core reasons tools like jails and chroot and eventually LXC were created but containers absolutely can do the things you are using vms for if you are willing to learn how they work

I built my recommendation around the likelihood this person is already using docker and therefore already has containers that would be extremely easy to run without unraid. There would be less lift to use the same config files and volume mounting they are already using.

Operationally though I would never run vms and containers in the same orchestrated system. Look at what they are asking to do. Why would you run sonarr as a container and radarr as a vm. Obviously they are going to end up just doing one or the other

I legitimately don’t understand the trendiness of proxmox given that vms are overkill compared to containers. If you are migrating from unraid you are likely already using the docker version of all your arr services so going and spinning up vms feels like a step backwards.

You can either use the exact same containers and use systemd to run them as raw services or use something like docker compose or dozens of other tools to orchestrate them. I use k8s but can’t recommend it with a straight face after taking down VMs for being overkill (very different kinds of overkill but still)

While I agree it is a setup, it is interesting to consider they did eventually die after being cast out of the garden. Nobody said they would die instantly, only that the eating of the apple would kill them. Which it kind of did eventually.

“If you eat the apple I will revoke your immortality” is roughly the same as saying “if you eat the apple you will die”.

Modern translations of “on the day you eat of it you will surely die” are likely taking an idiom and mistranslating it specifically in this sentence as the same idiom is used in other texts and even other parts of the Bible and not translated to mean “specifically on this day”

Given the Bible is largely built up of stolen mythology from other cultures of the same time, reading into some of those stories reveals a bit about the original meaning.

In the Sumerian story of the gardens of Dilmun, Enki and Ninhursanga, Enki eats of the eight forbidden plants so as to gain knowledge of them (a.k.a. “determine their destiny,”) and Ninhursanga curses him with these words:

“Until his dying day, I will never look upon him with life-giving eye.”

That doesn’t mean he died that day, but that he was stripped of his immortality that day

There are an endless number of places where the speed limit data does not match the actual speed limit. My car has the speed limit wrong on hundreds of small back roads and even segments of highway. This encourages not actually paying attention to posted signs.

Failing that, you can be going the speed limit and then the speed limit drops or increases by 15-30mph suddenly. Like highway ramps for example. Most people coast into the lower speed after the change or accelerate into the new speed in advance of the change. This would encourage hard breaking at extremely dangerous places or entering highways at incredibly unsafe low speeds.

I hate this excuse because it’s so incredibly easy to keep records without keeping the account itself active. I work in healthcare and we have to do shit like this all the time with archiving patients records into an offline storage and then destroying their “hot” accounts to comply with two different incompatible laws.
