We work in 20 minute microsleep shifts

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.

Whenever I screw something up or something goes sideways. Or when I’m migrating from one host to another.

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.

I’ve never worked with buildpack, so that’s interesting

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.

Backups? I have an automatic job running every night.

It’s not the same. You then need to manage volumes separately from images, or if you’re mounting a host folder for the Jellyfin files then you have to manage those separately via the host.

Container images are supposed to be stateless. So then if you’re only banking up the volumes, then you need to somehow track which Jellyfin version it’s tied to, in case you run into any issues.

A VM is literally all of that but in a much more complete package.

I can backup an entire VM snapshot very quickly and then restore it in a matter of minutes. Everything from the system files, database, Jellyfin version and configs, etc. All easily backed up and restored in an easy to manage bundle.

A container is not as easy to manage in the same way.

My personal problem is that I’m so bad at using it

It’s not you, it’s just that Windows is badly designed.

It’s been talked about to death. It’s been analysed to death.

But here’s a very detailed and thorough breakdown:

Lied

He’s on float plane

I’ll never support anyone on that platform. I’ll never do anything to give LTT a cent.

It’s a tech illiterate YouTuber for tech illiterate people that think they are tech literate

That’s a great way to say it. I usually just call him a “tech entertainer” that real tech people look down on. But I like your version.

The video that really polarized my opinion on them was their “storage server upgrade” video where they worked on replacing their horribly and amateurishly configured storage server.

Wendell from Lvl1 and Allan Jude (maintainer for OpenZFS) commented on LTT’s setup and, while they didn’t outright say anything negative, they didn’t have anything good to say and their tone heavily implied they thought LTT are posers.

Linus Sebastian

I cannot believe he still has a channel worth anything. I think LTT favs might actually be worse than Swift8es

is still clunky compared to others.

Wut?

Plex (originally) and Jellyfin are a centralized way of managing your media with aesthetic and easy to use interfaces. I have one Jellyfin server and I have a Netflix/Display+ type interaction with my media. I have the same content on my phone, wife’s phone, my desktop, laptop, my TV, etc.

All watch history, recommendations, up next queue, and so on.

And with the right setup (Wireguard in my case) I can access that content from anywhere.

Three incoherent replies with jumbled run-on sentences.

the businesses with clean perfect sites tend to be the scams

Uhhh, no. Objectively no. A legit website is not going to have spelling mistakes and broken links. Looking professional and thorough is a direct lead to increased business. What you just said is completely false, and frankly idiotic.

Everything else you said (in all three replies) is just a jumbled mess of a brain dump that I’m not even going to try and address any of it.

No, I didn’t say this “isn’t a nice site”. I said it’s “suspicious as hell”.

Having a working site and a navigable “About Us” page isn’t “nice”. It’s the bare minimum I would expect of any legitimate nice or ugly site.

There’s just a lot on their site that reeks of sloppy scammers.
