“noticing patterns” is a right-wing dog whistle about jews because they think jews orchestrate society and that they are ‘noticing this’.

The usual meme is “stop noticing things” because they have pointed out something they think is the fault of jews, like chemtrails or whatever. In this example, there could be a jewish board member of a plane company and they also believe chemtrails are real so they are ‘noticing’ the supposed connection.

It is similar to the (((( )))) dog whistle, if you are familiar.

Examples can be found on the ‘noticing’ tag on ifunny https://ifunny.co/tags/noticing

This has nothing to do with dark patterns.

Maybe it’s because of what I listen to but I can generally find it on on Bandcamp, Soulseek or torrent trackers.

I run all my dockers in LXCs on Proxmox and there hasn’t been a single problem.

Your ISP doesn’t give a fuck, it’s not legal trouble. It’s just overzealous sysadmins blocking anything that seems sus. I am permanently banned from most SoMe, for example, for having abnormal network activity but none of it is illegal.

You do face issues running a regular middle/guard relay. My IP is tainted from overzealous sysadmins looking up Tor related IPs and seeing mine because middle relays are public knowledge. I am banned from a lot of places for simply being a middle relay.

The issue is that I can’t really fit all of the data somewhere else. Can I shove it onto the 4TB drive and then mount it on a new proxmox install and recover from there?

The answer was a resounding no

It might not be, but I am intimately familiar with it. It’s proxmox itself that’s the wildcard here. I will shrink the LVM and then DD it to the new disk.

Couldn’t I just shrink a partition myself? I could clone the LXCs to the 4TB drive and just shrink the LVM partition significantly. DD the disks, recreate the LVM on the new SSD and move em back, right?

Using a larger disk isn’t an option, unfortunately. I don’t have that kind of money.

Hosting videogames on a dedicated box for me and the boys when I was 16 got me more interested in networking and when I had finished my mostly unrelated education, I pivoted hard to IT. I don’t currently work in IT and I don’t know if I ever will again because my handicap and location make it hard to find jobs but essentially:

Self-hosting came first, then came the tech ‘background’.

I generally agree but not everyone can choose where they work. For many people, the choice is starving on the street or work for Evil Corp.

That still wouldn’t get past your firewall

All of my services run on LXC containers. Some files and configs are backed up to NAS and offsite. The containers are snapshotted in their entirety before I do any work on them. A snapshot takes 5 seconds to make and causes no downtime. If I regret a change or mess it up, I can restore the snapshot in under a minute at the cost of some seconds of downtime.

My only non-container machines are my desktop (doesn’t count), my NAS and the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor is very clean and wouldn’t be much fuss to reinstall and the NAS is literally just Debian with NFS. All of these have a regular rsync which runs to backup the important files.

By having it be a container

This is still relying on the bot being nice enough to tell you that it’s a bot; it could just not.

Earfun Air pro 3 works and technically let you access most functions through the 2 tiny touchpads but the app isn’t invasive at all, either. The app will chug along without even mentioning it if you disable its access to the internet entirely and it never asked for any permissions. I used them without the app for a while but eventually I wanted to turn ANC on and I thought the app was the only way but in retrospect I could’ve read the manual and found the touchpad tap-sequence to do the same thing.

they fuel the internet

no they don’t

they fuel shitty companies

The people who love GOS have different expectations than you. I, for example, come from a series of shitty modern dumb-phones, so being able to use a modern smartphone with all of its benefits without Google weighing me down is incredible.

I would probably also not like it if I was in the apple ecosystem. I would have higher expectations and it would be a downgrade in that sense.

Well, obviously they don’t want you to!

CAD has never clicked in my brain but I have a relatively non-destructive workflow in Blender from a decade of experience and it’s not really a problem to me. I can make the model far more precise than any printer I have access to can print. I’m too stupid to explain it unfortunately, but I essentially just make use of Blender’s built in measuring tools

Forgive me if it sounds preachy, but have you tried Blender?

I use that for my 3d printing and game-ready modelling.
