No. I’m a Leftist who’s outraged that my government is funding said genocide while actively denying it’s happening.

Proxmox is available free. You pay for support and maybe other things with a license, but you can download it and give it a spin at no cost. I just switched to Proxmox around 1m ago when I restarted my homelab project after years on hiatus. I used to use Esxi before Broadcom bought VMware and decided to suck. I like it so far.

It might be overkill for your needs. I’m running it because I want to play with setting up and managing Win Server (I only have experience managing existing servers on Win), so there’s a distinct reason for me to be on Proxmox even though I’m a Mac and Linux person. I agree that it might be overkill for your i5 if you only plan to run one Ubuntu instance on it. However, a lot of homelabbing is about having an environment to try out and learn new skills. If that’s something that’s interesting to you, it might be worthwhile.

Keep in mind that you could also run KVM for virtualization if you find reason for VMs. You’re not limited to Proxmox. And if you see no need for VMs, you already have three devices to do the things you bought them to do.

Gdi, I hate when shitty people commit crimes that the right will use in their propaganda. Now they’ll start calling all porn stars groomers and use him as justification for the label and for banning porn. They already used the word; he just gave them a ton of ammo. Too bad he wasn’t an accountant or something.

Edit: also, fuck this piece of shit.

Yay!

He absolutely was.

Try following some of the advice in this thread. Hardware tests if the BIOS supports it. Maybe try underclocking or undervolting the CPU is BIOS supports that. If you can pull a RAM chip and test with just one, then test the chips individually in each slot, that’d be something worth trying. I’m shooting from the hip, but these are things that could help isolate a possible hardware issue.

Dominance?! Ha!

I went something like six months without my glasses because I still had an old thin frame. It turned out they’d landed on the base of a black standing lamp. I couldn’t see them from six feet away (my rough height). It was when I bent down to plug something in that I found them. I’d probably lost them getting up to go to the bathroom after falling asleep on the couch cause they just “disappeared” one day. They were in plain sight (if I’d had them on) all along.

I was getting a Thai massage the other day. She was using her feet to press on muscles in my back and I thought how awkward it would be to be Quentin Tarantino and just get an erection at contact with a lady’s bare feet. Fortunately, I didn’t end up in that situation, but I couldn’t get it out of my head for a few minutes.

If you live in South Bay, check out White Elephant Thai Massage. We went once to show support cause my partner is friends with one of the proprietors and I keep going back because they do a great job. If you get a boner, you are forbidden from mentioning that I recommended you go.

The military said it was investigating the incident and that it did not reflect its values.

Don’t worry everybody. They said this isn’t the norm.

Fuckers.

Once you’ve had the idea, it’d be morally wrong not to.

Bernie.

Don’t embarrass Oklahoma. They’ve really got nothing going on.

Fuck the south. Oklahoma is honorarily southern for this dumb shit.

Oh, I love this idea so much.

Exactly. It’s like the saying about how we treat prisoners. Whatever we allow to happen to those lowest in standing is what will be allowed to happen to all of us eventually.

Agreed. The coordinated pullout to sabotage Bernie in 2020 was shameful. “Vote for us or you’ll be sorry when the GOP takes over” is all they offer.

Yeah, I have Simplenote on my devices so that my plain text notes are always synced. Movies and TV shows we intend to watch, stuff to get at the store, unlock codes for lockers in the mail room of our building, stuff to discuss with my therapist, records I wanna find and buy, etc. I was at a show last night (Santigold and she kicked ass) and was jotting reminders for myself between songs. Having an instant notes repository is awesome.

Israel is an asshole state.

I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didn’t share it with lunatics I’d feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.

That’s the “what are you gonna do about it” look.
