  • The easiest solution if you want to have managed VMs IMHO is to just make a large VM for all your docker stuff on Proxmox and then you get the best of both worlds.

    Abstracting docker into its own VM isn’t going to add THAT much overhead, and the convenience of Proxmox for management of the other VMs will make that situation much easier.

    LXC for docker can be made to work, but it’s fiddly and it probably won’t gain you much in the long run.

    Now, all these other issues you seem to be having with the Proxmox host itself; are you sure you have networking set up correctly, etc? curl should be working no problem; I’m not sure what’s going on there.

    Federal tax money doesn’t work like that.

    The federal government just invents the money that it issues; your (federal income) tax dollars don’t go into a large account that they pull from or something (although I think that social security does). Federal Taxes are used to control the amount of currency in circulation so that inflation doesn’t become a problem. When used correctly, they should also prevent billionaires from acquiring too much power over society via hoarding of wealth.

    This is why we just had no problem coming up with 40 billion for Argentina, or funding ICE as the largest law enforcement agency in America.

    So while ideally the taxes will offset the spending to prevent inflation, it doesn’t prevent the government who wants to fuck around from doing anything - they can just do it anyway.

    This is different than state and local governments, who have to balance their budget because they cannot issue currency.


  • It may be better now but I’ve always had problems with Docker in LXC containers; I think this has to do with my storage backend (Ceph) and the fact that LXC is a pain to use with network mounts (NFS or SMB); I’ve had to use bind mounts and run privileged LXCs for anything I needed external storage for.

    Proxmox is about managing VMs and LXCs. I’d just create a VM and do all your docker in there. Perhaps make a second VM so you can shuffle containers around while doing upgrades.

    If you plan to have your whole setup be exclusively Docker and you have no need for VMs or LXCs, then Proxmox might be a bunch of overhead you don’t need.

    I use the LXCs for simple stuff that does a bare-metal type install within them, and I use the VMs for critical services like OPNSense firewall/routers. I also have a Proxmox cluster across three machines so I can live-migrate VMs during upgrades and prevent almost any downtime. For that use case it’s rock solid. It’s a great product and it offers a lot.

    If you just need a single machine and only Docker, it’s probably overkill.



  • Centrifugal force implies that the object wants to move away from the center of rotation, which is false.

    The object wants to continue forward, tangentially to its current rotational moment of inertia (I hope I’m using those terms correctly). If the centripetal forces are released (think of throwing a shot put), the object does not fly straight out from center, but 90 degrees from the last moment it was held in rotation.








  • ML tech isn’t bad, just like blockchain isn’t bad. It’s the gross capitalist opportunism happening around it that makes it overpromise (to the detriment of quality), overbuild (to the detriment of the environment), overuse (to the detriment of the economy), and overstimulate (to the detriment of mental health) while stealing the hard work of basically all of humanity up to this point (like then or not, the material reality is that these companies should be compensating artists and authors alike for their work being used for training).

    And with all that power, they do THIS fucking shit with it.

    I’m all for local LLMs to be assistants, autocompletes, and reference librarians; but just like the web, they were better when you had to be a fucking turbo-nerd to get them working.


  • Our parents didn’t have the internet, there were barely any cooking shows and cookbooks, while plentiful, didn’t lend themselves well to the daily grind that was increasingly taking up their time.

    We got professional chefs on YT showing how to make “Michelin Star broccoli” in 30-second shorts and grocery stores that offer all the stuff we might need.

    In other words, our parents were in the dark about cooking, relative to us.



  • Lots of middle class American families with children; I’m sure the numbers were similar to other years (we are new here this year, but our neighbors have said as much).

    I think candy being like $49 a bag for Halloween-sized bulk probably had something to do with it. Plus everyone has to be feeling the squeeze. Gasoline prices here aren’t as hard hit since it’s a fairly costal area so we are close to ports in the region; but food prices here just have not quit and if I’m already overpaying for groceries then I’m not spending $150 extra just to have enough to give away to the large number of kids.

    We also were out slightly later (6pm start time) so perhaps some houses closed up before we got there?


  • It’s actually awesome. It’s pretty pure athleticism, so the sport is there. Every wrestler has their own style and personality, and it even comes through when the match lasts 10 seconds. The ring is made from hardened clay and the hay bales that make up the ring are stuffed with gravel - the risk is real and the consequence of losing is pain. These guys are sometimes 400lbs of muscle (and yeah with a ton of body fat on top of it, weight is momentum and momentum is everything) who train constantly and have honed their skills for almost a lifetime to work up the ranks to even be in Grand Sumo in the first place. These dudes go out there to perform for the gods and they go as hard as they can.

    It seems silly because people can’t get past “hue hue naked and fat” and they made a trope out of it but it’s just about everything that makes competition “pure” distilled down into a single sport. It’s hard not to pop off after a good top division match, I’m always yelling at the TV.
