Oh, does our war-mongering get in the way of science? How could anyone have seen that coming.

In a sane world, we’d try to build a healthy relationship with China. We’re so interdependent that it’d be a win for both sides. Instead, we need an outside bogeyman to distract from the fact that the real villains fucking us around are our own compatriots. Rich assholes get away with distracting the masses yet again!

Proxmox is available free. You pay for support and maybe other things with a license, but you can download it and give it a spin at no cost. I just switched to Proxmox around 1m ago when I restarted my homelab project after years on hiatus. I used to use Esxi before Broadcom bought VMware and decided to suck. I like it so far.

It might be overkill for your needs. I’m running it because I want to play with setting up and managing Win Server (I only have experience managing existing servers on Win), so there’s a distinct reason for me to be on Proxmox even though I’m a Mac and Linux person. I agree that it might be overkill for your i5 if you only plan to run one Ubuntu instance on it. However, a lot of homelabbing is about having an environment to try out and learn new skills. If that’s something that’s interesting to you, it might be worthwhile.

Keep in mind that you could also run KVM for virtualization if you find reason for VMs. You’re not limited to Proxmox. And if you see no need for VMs, you already have three devices to do the things you bought them to do.

Try following some of the advice in this thread. Hardware tests if the BIOS supports it. Maybe try underclocking or undervolting the CPU is BIOS supports that. If you can pull a RAM chip and test with just one, then test the chips individually in each slot, that’d be something worth trying. I’m shooting from the hip, but these are things that could help isolate a possible hardware issue.

The military said it was investigating the incident and that it did not reflect its values.

Don’t worry everybody. They said this isn’t the norm.

Fuckers.

Yeah, I have Simplenote on my devices so that my plain text notes are always synced. Movies and TV shows we intend to watch, stuff to get at the store, unlock codes for lockers in the mail room of our building, stuff to discuss with my therapist, records I wanna find and buy, etc. I was at a show last night (Santigold and she kicked ass) and was jotting reminders for myself between songs. Having an instant notes repository is awesome.

I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didn’t share it with lunatics I’d feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.

Money left to me when one died has made my life tremendously easier. It’s unfair, really, and I had a lot of complicated feelings about it but worked through them in therapy.

Recording of waves or white noise from a fan.

Lightning strikes and both candidates die in a horrible freak accident. Oh wait, you asked worst case…

Bouncing camera technique. Gimbal needed.

Everyone is faking it to some degree.

Most valuable lesson I was ever forced to learn.

I like this answer the best.

Aww, I just heard about this the other day. The donkey was adopted by the elk and has a new family. Heartwarming.

The Irish, for example, are no longer systematically persecuted in the USA en masse.

I use Docbase, which apparently has been archived on GitHub.

How about taking a position that all murder is wrong rather than justifying one side. Wtf

It’s also a great path to getting people to do what you want. I was already an atheist when my father and I had a philosophical discussion regarding religion when I was an adolescent. He brought up this point early in the discussion. I only need to look around at all the bullshit laws getting passed that religious zealots vote for against their own interest to confirm that this is true.

The Southern Baptist Church just had their annual conference and decided that their position on Invitro Fertilization is against the procedure. How does that help anyone? It doesn’t.

Add this to the list of products I won’t buy. Not that I would have before, but now it’s a rule rather than a preference.

First boot was MKLinux. Before there were books about Linux in book stores. I had no idea how to login.

How about for harvesting organs? Let’s hold them accountable for that, too. Oh, wait. Israel can’t be touched because my government (USA) protects them. Sigh…
