+1 for borg + hetzner storage box, though externals do give pretty good value for some uses. I have all my movies/tv on a 6tb external and it would have cost so much more to do it any other way

one out of 72 isn’t bad

Yes I agree 100%. There’s no other way to do it.

For ‘pro-business’ read ‘swingeing privatisation’ but yeah the whole thing is a mess, and I’m not sure it’s possible to have ‘free and fair’ (whatever that means) elections under such conditions.

Wrt reasons to doubt the result, electronic vote counting/voting machines are reason enough imho — but that throws a load of other democracies into question 🤷

Not saying that nothing fishy has gone down, but that ‘exit poll’ was conducted by the opposition, and that margin seems ridiculous considering the crowds that Maduro has been drawing

Top-tier endangerment bait lmao

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.

Hang on, are Ukrainians European or not? Because I’m losing track over here

I myself have often wondered this — it’s hard to believe the racket that galleries have going
