I'd suggest using ZFS for the OS and the VM storage. If you have multiple nodes, you can set up replication easily for easy migration or recovery if your main node goes down. If you set up plex on a NAS, you would have to set up the NAS shares on the other node(s) in case you end up bringing the VM up on another node.
What I've done is have a very large ZFS striped-mirror that contains all my VMs and their attached drives, as you can specify and overprovision virtual drives on the same zpool. Then these VMs replicate to the other nodes every hour. I can also live migrate the VMs very quickly since they're replicated constantly so if I need to upgrade a node, I batch migrate everyone over to the other nodes, do my upgrades and migrate everyone back and upgrade the other nodes, then rebalance them where I like them. I get that you're on an SFF, so if you can get 2 drives in it and mirror them, you're probably fine.
And then all that is backed up via Proxmox Backup Server on a shitty old i3 with a local attached SATA and other USB drives I periodically change out and take offsite for replication to another offline proxmox server.
You can also pass through a GPU for hardware encoding to your Plex/jellyfin VM.
I was on there for 15 and modded/started a pile of communities. I go back now for research and it's all bots and deleted comments. Maybe the default subs are full of real people but I doubt it. The very, very niche subs still seem to have people in them, but are nowhere as active as they used to be.
I'm sure Reddit is gaming the investors. You can't trust lying Pigboy farther than you can kick him.
I had to stop watching because of that stupid emblem jumping around on the screen, right where you were trying to see the target.
Minneapolis City Council needs to take charge of this and clean house. Police aren't going to do it themselves, so the holder of the pursestrings is the one ultimately responsible.
This is probably where I would start.
You might be looking for workspace:windowActivated event or window:activeChanged and fire your script on that.
This is the Saudis and Russians putting in the bribe money in preparation for the election. This scam has always been a front for funnelling money to him. Watch him sell shares like a motherfucker and take his $10B bribe just in time to maybe end up in the Oval Office.
If he loses and the SEC is tracking down the sources of these trades, I can't wait to see the blood.
Yah, I called bullshit on this as well and got downvoted hard. I'm not sure what people think is different about this slur, he's only gained support with every racist remark that he's shit out of his campaign so far.
Leave all the spyware and touchscreen bullshit out of it, and it would probably cost half as much and last twice as long.
I see what my friends have with their kids and grandkids now, and really wish I had people that care for me that much. Honestly, it's kinda gotten to where I don't want to go to events because it just reminds me of how that chance is lost now.
I wish we had. I'm regretting it more as I get older.
That's because he'll be in fucking prison for the rest of his miserable life unless he just flees the country to the arms of his Slavic lover.
What about if I stop picking my nose?
This might be what you're looking for: Zola
Single binary that lets you keep your markdown/config in git and just build it from the git clone folder you're in at the time.
I know some people that have moved off of Hugo to this, and Alex from the Selfhosted podcast recently talked about it on their show.
Watch this be correct and nickelodeon replaces Nate Silver as the new polling god.
I'm not sure if this is related to Night Light (which I don't have enabled) or even just the monitors dimming in power settings, but I constantly have to go and bring my brightness back up from 20% when I sit down at my computer in the AM.
I have disabled Sleep as well, and the only thing left is the regular Energy Saving features of dimming after X minutes and Turn Off Monitors after X minutes, but I've set both of those to short timeouts and when it comes back, it's at 100%.
Edit: For some reason I was on X11. I've switched to Wayland and will see if that changes anything.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Why do the vast majority of these seem to either block off the 40pin header or convert it to female header that's incompatible with further hats? And why are they full sized, despite having minimal circuitry on them? I can appreciate the ones that build in a cooling system, but that doesn't need to block off all the pins that aren't being used by the hat.
It seems like all this could be accomplished with a small board that doesn't interfere with everything else one intends to do with a Pi or Pi-clone. In fact, I'm surprised at the lack of built-in POE Pi boards out there.
I need a few of these for rpi's around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.
If I bring up things like mail or a post in a new tab, I have to go into Login/Manage Accounts and choose my account to do anything in that tab.
I'm trying to figure out how long to make A and B here if I have linear actuator of length C (extended = 2C) in order to tilt my panels from completely horizontal to vertical so they avoid wind and shed snow respectively when I run up the actuator to the extremes respectively based on sensor input.
Is there a simple formula I can use to plug the length of whatever actuator I settle on to figure A and B out? I know it will have to be a certain minimum and maximum size to work properly and might have to experiment to get an idea of what works in the end, but I'd like a reasonable start point to purchase an appropriate actuator.
I've googled around and decided I'm not smart enough to even come up with the right search criteria, let alone figure this out myself since it's been 35 years since I've used anything except the most basic trig.
This isn't really homework except for the fact that I'm trying to make my home work right.
Edit: seems like if I select A=.75C and solve for B at horizontal, then it always works out. No idea why, but the couple examples I try seem to agree.
I'm looking for a lowish priced laptop that I can put at least 2 extra monitors on. I want a second landscape 4k and a portrait 1080. Don't need anything special. One monitor has DP and HDMI, but the other just HDMI. Do I just get a DP hub and use a converter dongle for the second?
What would be a recommended laptop for this scenario? I only want AMD CPU and GPU as I can't be arsed to fight with noVideo and Intel doesn't deserve my business.
I have no idea how long this has been a thing, and maybe every clipboard works that way, not just Plasma, and I never realized it. It also lets you do things like Rt-click on it and do the regular operations like Search in Firefox. Spaces aren't preserved unless you specifically select them but search engines seem to be able to sort out the words usually.
I post this in case you haven't been part of the 10,000 this day already, like me.
Edit: seems to work in Firefox and LibreOffice, but not Kate or Okular. I'd love to see this as a general feature, it's handy as heck.
A home automation and tech enthusiast stumbled upon the anomaly while troubleshooting issues with his home network.
Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.
Vernor Vinge, author of many influential hard science fiction works, died March 20 at the age of 79. Vinge sold his first science-fiction story in 1964, "Apartness", which appeared in the June 1965 issue of New Worlds. In 1971, he received a PhD (Math) from UCSD, and the next year began teaching at ...
Thank you for the great work, Vernor. You'll be missed.
We have our house and a cabin. While I guess I could make an area for the cabin, it has it's own areas that I'd like to manage separately (and copy automations directly).
I have purchased a HA Cloud sub but I don't seem to be able to get the cabin to connect to Cloud.
Do I need a separate sub for the cabin at full price? This seems a little over the top, not to mention clunky to manage with different Nabu Casa logins.
Or am I just going about this wrong? If anyone else manages two properties and integrates it nicely, I'd love to hear your solutions. I'm mainly subbing to Cloud because of the better TTS and STT response. Maybe I just invest in a skookum whisper/piper box instead?
I don't see that there's any sort of integration for writing code to process information from HA entities like Node Red + Companion. Am I missing something and this is more than just an interface for the config files and maybe a git client for those config files?
These things aren't bad, I've got a few that I use sort of successfully, but the speaker and mic aren't very powerful. I was thinking of building one with an ESP32 and i2S (not i2c, that threw me off too) speaker/mic, but I'm wondering if I'd be reinventing the wheel here if there's a better alternative already out there.
Got a young guy that needs a reasonable used laptop, in the $2-300 range. Looking for smooth but not spectacular graphics, and a 15" screen or better. Preferably with 2 drive slots so he can have an NVME or other SSD for the OS and a large rust drive for installing games. It's going to be plugged in when used, and weight isn't a great concern, it's just for travelling with.
Any suggestions on what to look for on eBay?
If I pipe in something to most that's wider than my terminal width, it'll page it sideways but only single character at a time with an arrow key. I want most to behave like less, which will scroll sideways with an arrow key almost a full page (60 columns I believe), which most will do also if I use Tab/Ctrl-B or ">" and "<" (as gleaned from the man page). But I have no use for single character scrolling, so I'd like arrows to do the same as Tab and <>.
Is there a way to change the default behaviour of most to the same horizontal scrolling behaviour as less? I would just use less except it displays the first page of a command like docker ps with lines wrapped for some reason (maybe this is some limitation in Dolphin?). If I scroll right the other columns show up right, but for some reason less and more both mess up the first page. No clue why most works correctly. Frankly, if I could fix less I'd be happier since my muscle memory makes me want to pipe to less all the time anyway, and it's installed by default in most distros I use, unlike most.
Also, trying to search up help on anything with a name like "most" is next to impossible.
I did send a donation, but I want to make sure the people involved know I appreciates them.
I set up an instance and have been using it along with a couple friends. It's fast, private and doesn't have a bunch of algo bullshit wasting our time. I have my subs and I watch them, and then I go and touch grass because I'm not sitting there watching trash that is being pushed at me on the feed.
It's like a breath of fresh air.

I have been keeping an eye on this series over in !BannedBooks@literature.cafe and was intending to link the discussions for SF titles that I saw. The Handmaid's Tale is definitely an SF title that has seen it's share of fans and detractors. It has been banned or attempted to be banned in many jurisdictions including Western ones.
What is the communities thoughts on this book, does it unfairly extend Christian philosophy into questionable territory or does it not go far enough? Is it pornography, and if so, why? Let's hear your thoughts.

Despite their scarcity, science fiction books are highly sought after by elementary school students.
I got interested in SF because the librarian in my elementary was a SF lover. There were racks of paperbacks that I gobbled up and it's stuck with me for decades since. It makes me sad to think that kids don't have the same chance I did to get interested at an early age in the most imaginative genre of fiction. We all need to do our part to pass it on.
What are your suggestions for getting young people interested in science fiction?
A few I remember from that time:
Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series
Heinlein's juveniles like Podkayne of Mars and Have Spacesuit, Will Travel
McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern
Niven's Known Space books
Because having to block 2 fanaticus communities every time a game is finished because there's a post in the winning and losing teams community is rapidly getting old, and I have no idea how many teams of how many different sports exist on that server, but it seems like a hell of a lot.
Having set up a couple of communities, there is a setting for language. Are these items showing up in my feed because the community has not set their language, or is something going on with language filtering on All? It seems like there's way more off-language things coming through on All in the last day or two.
