  • you parents out there … clue me in, but isn’t this the pinnacle of irresponsibility, even on a cool day?

    I wouldn’t leave my 1 year old alone for more than 5 minutes in the centre of a pillow fort in my house with the AC on (bad analogy, soft fluffy surfaces can be dangerous to small children if they can’t get their faces up reliably to get air).

    There have been countless times when it’s a nice 18 degrees Celsius outside and I needed to run into the store to grab ONE thing. A total in and out time of maybe 3 minutes. I also live in a quiet and safe town. And yet each and every time, I took the effort to get my kid out of his car seat, carry him inside with me, get the stuff, and do the whole process of getting him into his seat, get him bucked in, get his toys set up again, etc.

    I would throw myself off a cliff for being the worst parent imaginable if I left him in the car for those 3 minutes because I couldn’t make the effort.

    This mother from the news didn’t deserve the child that died and neither of them deserved her as a mother, for all that term does any good here.

    Not really useless, it’s an extra layer of management (a good thing). The Proxmox system can be nearly static while giving you external level management of the OS that manages the containers.

    I have a 3 server Proxmox cluster running various VMs doing different things. Some of those VMs are my container systems.

    Besides, you can run containers directly on Proxmox itself.

    Sure, ZFS snapshots are dead simple and fast. But you’d need to ensure that each container and its volumes are created in each respective dataset.

    And none of this is implying that it’s hard. The top comment was criticizing OP for using VMs instead of containers. Neither one is better than the other for all use cases.

    I have a ton of VMs for various use cases, and some of those VMs are container/Docker hosts. Each tool where it works best.
