I get that, but I don’t even mean it in that sense. A corporation should not have any control over what I do whatsoever unless I’m their employee.


Even if you’re morally opposed to the various things this addresses, it is so immensely concerning and unwise to want a corporation to have this much control over your actions, daily life, and liberty.
I don’t think enough people talk about that.


Ah yeah that could be it too. I saw all the community scripts and decided that was too much tinkering til I’m back in the Linux world lol


I’m a rookie back in the Linux world after 15 years in windows hell, but Proxmox is hard if you’re new to Linux. I didn’t have the patience. I’d install mint on the nvme itself, let it get going, see if anything persists. Best of luck!


Almost 38, I spend all my free time with my wife. Started off more balanced before we moved for my work, and the more I focused on time with her, the happier we were. I hang out with work friends occasionally.
My pre marriage friends became vile, Trump-worshipping, incel assholes, so I am very content with my decisions.

What a great comment from an infrequent commenter. Thank you! This was a lovely read, good points, and I shared with my wife.


How do I can my friend contact them?


Indeed, you’re surely right. Pour one out for the big boys.


Fully agree! It’s so much work and so incredible to look at and admire. Art deco too for the same reasons.


Steam locomotives!!! Maybe not the full intent of this thread, but they’re terrible for the environment, inefficient, complicated as hell, and SO COOL!



Same, I’m sure he’s a nice guy but I loathe his content


Different earplug guy here: smart watches and some other devices vibrate or tap on your wrist.
That’s how I wake up, plus I don’t disturb my wife!


“When you make something idiot-proof, the world builds a better idiot.”


Is that how the song should be taken?
I always understood it as him or the speaker singing the lyrics as if the audience was innocent in the events, and the leaders /villains/whoever are not “us” and they did it.
I don’t, and I’m okay with it. I miss it, but I spend what free time I have with my wife.
My former friend group that still plays a lot of video games took a different path. Some have no career progress, others have horrible marriages, and a couple are cheating scumbags.
I like to think my wife and I made some good choices and we work to keep making them.


Done, good luck!


I got an Aoostar WTR Pro for this exact purpose. I went with jellyfin over plex due to plex enshittification, haven’t had any issues yet. You can find smaller NAS devices if you want. I avoided Synology because something felt off, and now they’re enshittifying too.
I like the people suggesting to build your own, that’s my next plan.
