It probably costed some 100k just to pay the guy that designed the look and feel of the interface and obviously they had medical advices on the matter (common knowledge really).

The patient is going through merging with a symbionte, most patients (test subjects) died.

Of course they are happy to read anomalous but stable vitals.

This is the real answer and the reason online bubbles are so sad.

There's so many different way to live your life and we are atrofied around a couple of equally bad options.

1 - they are dog people. They probably married just because the dogs liked each others.

2 - it's a cartoon.

3 - it's just a fucking depiction of two people randomly meeting, it's implied that they hit it off stellarly and, yes, people do MAD CRAZY things such as... marrying a person they are in love with.

4 - bestiality.

I like how the original OP mention in passing that Reddit is bad for privacy.

Like, no shit? How can a privacy community be even remotedly healthy in such an environment?

It's like having a club for how to avoid the police within a prison, regulated by the guards.

Compositing has been a thing for, like, forever, going from cutting and gluing film together to, well, having lookalike instead of the real actor in certain shots...

I'm mostly weirded by how you found out only now. I guess go and have fun looking up "Captain Disillusion" youtube channel.

Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.

Why would he look at security footage? He's not a cop from the 80s, he just commands his army to find those. He's not evil enought to micromanage.

[Request] Automatic backups when PC comes online (feddit.it)

submitted 2 years ago by dwindling7373@feddit.it to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I have a proxmox+Debian+docker server and I'm looking to setup my backups so that they get backed up (DUH) on my Linux PC whenever it comes online on the local network.

I'm not sure if what's best is backing up locally and having something else handling the copying, how to have those backup run only if they haven't run in a while regardless of the availability of the PC, if it's best to have the PC run the logic or to keep the control over it on the server.

Mostly I don't want to waste space on my server because it's limited...

I don't know the what and I don't know the how, currently, any input is appreciated.

[Beginner] Proxmox & storage configuration (feddit.it)

submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by dwindling7373@feddit.it to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Hi,

I've been playing with a Dell mini PC (OptiPlex 7070) that I set up with Proxmox and a single Debian virtual machine that hosts a bunch of containers (mostly an *arr stack).

All the data resides on the single SSD that came with the machine, but I'm now satisfied with the whole ordeal and would like to migrate my storage from my PC to this solution.

What's the best approach software side? I have a bunch of HD in of varying size and age (therefore expected reliability) and I'd initially dedicate such storage to data I can 100% afford to lose (basically media).

I read I should avoid USB (even though my mini PC exposes a USB-C) for reliability, but on the other hand I'm not sure what other options I have that doesn't force me to buy a NAS or properly sized HD to install inside the machine...

Also, what's a good filesystem for my usecase?

Thank for any tips.

POP_OS: Stam VAC Anti-cheat prevents me from playing DOTA2 (feddit.it)

I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!

Noob answer? No, because the other party will likely store them in unsafe manner and send it through Facebook Messenger to that Aunt of theirs.

[Beginner] Importing /home from different Distro (Manjaro to Pop_OS) (feddit.it)

submitted 3 years ago by dwindling7373@feddit.it to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I had a dual boot I rarely used because reasons, one of them being that it was Manjaro and it kinda sort of borked itself and evey time I upgraded it asked me to make choices I had no idea what they meant.

I wanted to give Pop_OS a try so I went and nuked the Manjaro and set up the boot, root and swap of Pop_OS in its place.

Point is, I had the /home of Manjaro on a different location (The OS is on a SSD shared with windows and I put /home on a HD). I did not point Pop_OS to it at setup for fear of it being nuked (Will it nuke it? If not I guess I can do a new install and point it there?)

Can I link Pop_OS home to the old Manjaro home or do I need to take care of something (format it, remove some specific folder...).

I ask because I convinced myself the matter was trivial, but in the process of making sure the /home of Pop_OS was empty I ended up with a system hang and my passwords (both user AND root) being rejected and I had to reinstall the whole thing, so maybe there's more to /home than just a bunch of data?

Thanks!
