Ok, I guess this is a matter of opinion, but 'cops going around asking people about some purple rocks' just doesn't pass the sniff test for me

Surely the point is that the OP couldn't possibly have known what the authority thought about their painted stones, unless:

1. they had a personal contact, which is quite the omission

or

2. the authorities were putting up posters around town, interviewing door-to-door etc

The thing is when you're the global hegemon there's no such thing as 'far away'

The thing is, it's fun

Top-tier endangerment bait lmao

Yes, but what if you need to download additional drivers for your wireless card

It's not rocket science. You might need a wired connection to begin with though

Also, I feel like both Howard and Lovecraft were prone to incredibly lengthy descriptions of things

Sure. The hardware is a cheap little beelink with an n100 and 16gb of RAM. Proxmox can do VMs, but is primarily focused on LXCs, which are Linux containers. They share the kernel with the host, so they're very lightweight — you can spin up basically as many (say) Debian systems as you want. So I have Jellyfin on one container, Sonarr/Radarr on another (though you could put them on separate containers if you wanted), transmission has a container, sabnzb has a co- ... you get the idea lol.

The cool thing is that it's easy to mount drives/directories from the host, and have your containers share them that way.

Wrt backups, Proxmox had some built in functionality you can run from the web ui. So I back up images of the LXCs to the external hard drive daily, then have a borg container that backs up the back up directory to cloud storage.

It's also very convenient to make a quick backup before making any changes to a container — you can restore to a previous image with the click of a button.

If you have the RAM for it, I would recommend going the Promox route. I made the switch this year, and now running daily container image backups is a doddle.

Ok, no worries. I'm not sure how I can explain to you what I meant tbh. The context is that Apple hardware that recent is unlikely to have fully Linux support yet, simply that. It is a relative claim, but you seem to have parsed it as an absolute?

Dude, there are so many contexts in which 2016 could be considered 'recent', including the one I was speaking in, and yet you march into my mentions with the patronizing bullshit. I don't know, maybe you think you're being friendly, but it doesn't feel friendly to me.
