  • I don't think this is always the case. I was asked by a woman that I was training at work if she could borrow $20 a few months ago and this was my initial response "what for?" Then my brain kicked in and I recognized that it could be for something innocuous like lunch or something else like tampons or other personal items and that it wasn't any of my business, so I told her "sorry that seemed kind of personal" and offered it to her.

    If someone asked me for a more significant amount of money, I'd definitely want to know what for, but a one-time request for $20 is fairly inconsequential to me if it's someone I know.

  • The was the whole point of the "defund the police" movement as they wanted to take that funding and put it toward alternatives to police for situations exactly like this but the right wingers turned off their brains and recast the meaning to be "the left wants to eliminate police."

  • They also just passed "allowing homeless people to be locked up for being homeless." This is just a byproduct of the shitty two party system because neither party is really accountable to the public whether they're active shitbags like the Republicans or passive shitbags like Democrats. It's not like many voters will switch sides.

  • I think the limited storage is the cause of your reservations. If you could just buy a few large HDDs, you can pool them all into a RAID array and then store your library and downloads on said pool. The arrs can then create hardlinks which allow you to have "two" copies of a file while only using the storage space of a single one. One stays in Qbittorrent and the other gets renamed and moved to your library automatically. You retain the files until both copies are deleted.

    As far as setup goes, Trash guides are popular as mentioned in other comments. I ran all this on Windows for over a decade but recently setup proxmox and host everything in docker containers now (along with a bunch of other non-media related stuff). It got to a point where everything started running like shit on Windows and I regret not setting things up on a Linux based OS long ago because my library has become quite large and I was essentially 'trapped' in an unfriendly OS with no easy way out (I essentially had to buy and build a whole new pool of drives and then move all my media over weeks to avoid losses), so I would seriously consider a Linux based setup if you're not already.

    I have no advice on German media, but I would suggest trying to get into private trackers like you intend. Long-term seeding and freeleech files will take you a long way even if you have terrible upload speeds. I've built up dozens of TBs of upload credit with a 10Mbps upload speed just off bonus points and the little actual uploading I could do.

  • I run everything in LXC containers because AFAIK using VMs mean you are limited on shared resources. If I want to use the iGPU for Plex and something else it would be locked to only work on the Plex VM. I mainly just have an unprivileged LXC and a second privileged LXC both running portainer that run most of my services.

  • We used one in Manhattan that was somewhat like this about a decade ago. We were told to tell anyone else in the building that we were friends of some guy (can't recall the name) who was different than the one doing the booking.

  • Not quite hotel space as I have yet to find a hotel that can accommodate several families traveling together with a shared space, including a fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, parking, etc. There's definitely a demand for something like this that isn't filled in any other way.

  • I thought I'd read in a previous article that the mom went to prison for kidnapping him a few years ago and taking him out of the country in violation of their custody agreement. If I'm recalling this correctly, it's insane that he can still work as a deputy, but I know how Florida loves their cops.

  • A hybrid has all the same ICE components with the addition of the generator and battery pack so it's not surprising that it would be heavier than the pure ICE counterpart. These kits will be replacing old iron block engines (along with the other aforementioned drivetrain components) with a small aluminum engine and generator. Even if they are a bit heavier, these are old trucks with poor aerodynamics where a few hundred pounds isn't going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things.
