Here’s the short version.

A normal battery is a sealed cell. It has a positive and negative electrode, with an electrolyte between them. Usually many layers of this. When you charge it, a chemical change happens. When you discharge it, that chemical change is undone.

A redox flow battery uses fixed electrodes, but a liquid electrolyte that can be pumped and stored. This means you can increase overall storage capacity simply by adding more electrolyte tanks, without needing more electrodes. Think of it like a generator with a bigger gas tank.

The whole vanadium thing is just one of the metals used in the battery. There’s a few kind of redox flow batteries using different chemistries

Hmm Are you wedded to that particular Mac address? If not, shut down the VM, delete the virtual Network card, then make a new virtual Network card. Copy paste the Mac of that new card into pfsense with the static mapping, and fire up the VM. See what happens.

If that doesn’t work, I remember something it was possible for proxmox to do some kind of routed Network system. To investigate that, delete all static mappings, fire up the VM, and just look at what Mac address it shows getting the DHCP lease. Is it the one that shows as being assigned to the VM?

Yeah this still sounds very much like what I had happen. pfSense tries really hard to hang on to that old random dhcp lease sometimes.

Don’t worry about ARP- that just shows what currently exists.

You might try turn off the vm, delete the static mapping, then delete the DHCP lease in status - dhcp leases, then add the static mapping again and turn the vm back on.

Also on pfSense check /var/dhcpd/var/db/dhcpd.leases . Chances are your VM is in there. Turn off VM, stop DHCP service on pfSense, delete lease from that file, restart DHCP service, check static mapping, turn on VM.
Let me know if that works…

I think you have a PFsense problem not a proxmox problem.

I have encountered something similar to this in the past with PF sense. What fixed it for me is shut down the machine in question, let the DHCP lease show offline in PF sense, then use that very line on the status - DHCP leases page to assign the static IP address to it. Then when I booted it back up it worked.

Also copy and paste the MAC address right out of the DHCP leases table if you are adding it manually. I believe it may be case sensitive.

Yeah that’s the turbochef- variants of that exists at starbucks, dunkin, etc. It’s an oven that takes like 10,000 watts of power, uses a combination of infrared broiler and microwave and convection at the same time to turn a cold food item hot and crispy/sizzly in 45 seconds.

Absolutely. I remember when Google Chrome started to be a thing, they had an actual video ad showing that it could load and render the Google homepage in like 100 ms. And so we all switched from Firefox, which had become large and bloated.

Now Chrome is full of a ton of useless crap, most web pages are painful without ad blockers, and there is pretty much zero effort put into efficient web design.

I think it was sometime around the ‘$5 footlong’ era they put turbochef ovens in the stores…

But that’s missing the point.
Your opinion of Elon is irrelevant, so is mine.

FACTS matter though.
Do facts or truth matter to you? If not then my keystrokes are wasted. If so then you should care that you are stating as fact something which is provably incorrect.

I care about facts and truth. If I am stating something incorrect as fact, I always want to be made aware of it so I can correct my facts, and if necessary, re-evaluate my position (which I try to always base on facts rather than feelings or instinct).

Your opinion on Elon is of little concern to me. I was addressing facts alone.

Buy a quick googling, the lawsuit you are referencing is from the late 2010s around the time Eberhard was pushed out of the company. And thus I stand by my earlier statements about the company’s history. As I said, there was no love lost there.

But I am still trying to address your original position that Elon showed up after everything was done and took credit for it all, which I don’t believe is accurate.

I am not debating values, I am debating facts. I would generally agree that debating values especially when it comes to evaluating Elon is a waste of both of our time.

You are well within your right to not like the guy and he has certainly done plenty to deserve your dislike.

However, and this is the point I have been trying to make since the beginning, even if you don’t like him with good reason, even if hypothetically we both agreed that he’s a bad person, that doesn’t automatically mean everything he has ever done is bad. And that sort of revisionist history is my biggest complaint with both your comment and a lot of people who hate Elon in general.

If your position was ‘he accomplished a lot with Tesla and SpaceX but he is now in net negative to the country with how he helped Trump get reelected’ I would have very little to challenge that with.
But when it becomes not only is he bad now, but he was always bad all the time in every endeavor, that any accomplishment he might have had must be minimized, that’s what I disagree with and honestly you should too as an intelligent sounding person.

same to you sir/madam!

I get plenty of good convos here- perhaps even more on a density measurement (% of good vs total) than on Reddit. But the density of bad ones is higher too. Mainly anything involving politics people are much less open minded here than on Reddit. At least on Reddit usually the person will talk to you or say they respectfully disagree, here on the Fediverse I’ve several times had ‘heres the talking points’, I directly refute them, then something like ‘you obviously don’t understand and I can’t be bothered to explain it to you’. And while I certainly accept that I might not understand, this happens in places where their argument is ‘A caused B’, and my response is ‘you can look it up, B happened before A’.

I’d like to see the end of software patents, which IMHO are a much bigger problem than copyright.

You make a good point with the exact text bit though. It would certainly put the AI company on the defensive if the author of that original GPL snippet decided to go after openai etc for copyright infringement and license violation. I’d actually kinda like to see that happen.

Yeah I miss the Pizza Hut restaurants. There was some kind of fat or oil on the dough that got all crispy and good in the pan… their pizza was just flat out better than most competition.

I wish someone with some vision would buy Pizza Hut or Quiznos and bring them back to their former glory. I think there’s a market for it.

They should have differentiated themselves as the premium sandwich brand because while subway is pretty good, Quiznos early on was a whole other level.

Absolutely this. Subway pre sliced meats and (at the time) lack of toasting was a perfect thing to target. ‘Yeah you can pay $5 for a sub the size of a size ten foot with meats that come from a factory, but you get what you pay for. Here at Quiznos all our meats and cheese are sliced fresh in store, the bread is always fresh, and every sub gets perfectly toasted to order. Try us and see the difference.’ (then show a wimpy subway sandwich next to a cheesy melty meaty quiznos sub).

Really is too bad. Here in CT, Jersey Mikes is expanding- their deal is they slice the meat right in front of you so it’s fresher. They also do fresh grilled cheese steaks on a flat top grill, those are WAY better than the subway ‘cardboard tray of single serving meat’ approach.

ain’t this the damn truth.

FWIW, it’s gone downhill. Steady decline over the last decade or so as the site (like every other social media) goes for quantity and ad revenue over quality. So really good discussions are not nearly as common as they once were.

That said- I get a lot more bad discussions here in the Fediverse than on Reddit. By that I mean people who spout talking points but the instant you challenge them with facts, they go for personal insults.

In short- my facts don’t suit your narrative (ELON BAD EVERYTHING ELON DO BAD) and so you’d rather dismiss me than debate me?

If you think me wrong- then explain exactly what makes it wrong?

Specifically- you said “Tesla was building those things before Musk took over. It’s like the Nazis and the autobahn, these people are taking credit for previous good decisions when they take over.”.

Can you explain what precisely Tesla had pre-Elon-takeover that he took credit for?

This brings up an interesting question with AI

If I, as a human, read a piece of Open source code it solves a problem in a unique and new way, and then I myself write my own closed source code that solves the problem in the same way, I have not violated a license. The license is for the code itself, not a patent for the specific way the code solves the problem. And since the code in the closed source product is written by me and not copy pasted from the open source project, I have not violated the license per

So what about AI? If you train the AI on a piece of code, and it outputs the same or similar code, do we treat that as if the human copy pasted the code? Or do we treat it as if the human used what they learned from the first program and wrote something similar?

There is already an AI company taking advantage of this. They advertise that that if you want to use open source code in a closed source product, you hire them-- their AI will parse through the open source code and spit out a list of specifications that is specifically not code. Another AI on a completely different system that has never had access to the open source code will then take that specification and spit out program code that is functionally identical and does the exact same thing but is a completely new creation. The result is that you essentially rewrite the open source code but without the copyleft restrictions.

This is going to be an issue that laws and courts will have to address. Especially if, in your example, the code produced by the AI was actually identical to the GPL quake code. Because while a human copying the functionality is never going to write the exact same code line by line, the machine might be.

Apparently if you screw the franchisees and make it impossible for them to make any money, they stop being franchisees and close their stores.

Unfortunately, this outcome could not have been predicted ahead of time.
