That’s just sad then, the fact that petty criminals can pull this off and it doesn’t even require professionals.

I will say, I’m glad I got to see the crown jewels when I visited the Louvre in April, they were incredible. Although they weren’t even my favourite part of the Louvre, my favourite part was the Mona Lisa. I literally went around 3 times to see the Mona Lisa lol

That makes no sense to me, because you will literally have feces from animals, dead birds and other animals, etc.

Right but if she asks in the first place, it’s a red flag.

Imagine if the genders were reversed. It’s not a normal question to ask.

So that’d be whatever Android your phone comes with, then, and not standard AOSP.

Now that I re-read it, OP called themselves a simpleton, so I think you’re right, there’s no chance OP is using standard AOSP.

Yeah, Stock could mean whatever Android your phone comes with, or it could mean standard AOSP like even without GApps, OP should really clarify that.

30 days of paid holiday per year is unfathomable to me. I wish we had that here.

It does mean that, yeah.

It’s like when developers give a wrong answer during technical interviews, rather than say “I’d have to look it up” or “I’d have to check the documentation” etc.

Oh no… this brings back memories LOL

I want a hunt and gatherer girlfriend, wtf. That would be cool.

He’s right, flash media loses data as unplugged flash memory loses charge over time. It’s called charge leakage in flash memory, it’s a well-known phenomenon.

A hard drive might work, but, it would need to be stored in some sort of sealed box to keep it safe. It would probably help to also go with optical media as well, assuming we still have something able to read it in X number of years, which we should.

In general though, you’d want multiple copies, as with any data the 3-2-1 backup rule applies, so unfortunately for OP this isn’t necessarily something you can do with a very low budget.

and the pve8to9 checklist script suggests to run this migration script if necessary

Ah, okay that makes more sense.

This is going to affect many more people who didn’t read it, then.

Although, that seems to only affect guests and not hosts?

The host machine becomes unbootable IIRC, so I think it’s something else?

I took a look but I’m not seeing any command for LVM mentioned anywhere?

It might be safer to wait, one of my IRL friends ran into an issue, and I saw some others post about it on the Proxmox forums: TASK ERROR: activating LV 'pve/data' failed: Check of pool pve/data failed (status:64). Manual repair required!

I think I didn’t run into that error because I flattened my LVM kinda, but if I hadn’t customized my setup maybe I would have run into that too.

I tell myself that every time, but I mean, I still end up doing it every time anyway lmao

edit: Just did it, it went well.

And then there’s Visa and MasterCard telling you what you can and can’t purchase because some conservative cesspool wrote some emails

They didn’t just write emails, they actually picked up the phone and called them, non stop. They made it into a problem that couldn’t be ignored. Gamers haven’t done that, unfortunately.

I will admit that’s a good point, although hopefully there would be laws preventing an eviction without notice, but you’re right it would be a bad situation, it would definitely be disruptive.

However, there are people who prefer to rent because they prefer the freedom from place to place, I think that’s worth acknowledging too.

Although I think you’re right.

You are not great at logic and analogies, are you?

How does being rude with me, or getting angry at me, solve or change anything? I don’t think it actually helps anything, I don’t think it’s some great sign of intelligence either.

All of them do earn money just by owning property. I’m not calling that evil or good or bad. It is what it is. And I’m sure many landlords are nice enough people. I am against it though.

I’m trying to understand your viewpoint. If not all landlords are bad or evil, why would you be against it? Are you against having to pay for housing? Are you saying that homeowners should rent out spare rooms in their houses for free? Are you against renting in general? What about for people who want the freedom to move from place to place and prefer that renting can provide that?

I’m not even sure where to begin. Neither of those, VPN nor Bitcoin, allow you to earn money simply by owning property. Both of them can be used legally and illegally, but that has nothing to do with landlords which are always able to rent out their property completly legally but are still always being a parasite. I’m not saying renting should be banned because one kind of landlords are evil and the others aren’t. I’m saying the mechanism of profiting off of property while exploiting the need for housing puts all of them on a spectrum between siphoning off a little or siphoning off a lot of the workers income.

I don’t think it’s a bad analogy. Both VPNs and Bitcoin have the same underlying mechanism, they can be used for good (avoiding censorship by authoritarian regimes) and they can be used for bad (doing illegal things). There can be good landlords and there can definitely be bad landlords. Even if it’s not a perfect analogy, it’s still similar enough to show the similarities to your analogy.

If you’re not saying renting should be banned because one kind of landlords are evil and the others aren’t, what are you saying? I don’t understand your position here, sorry. You are calling it “profiting off of property while exploiting the need for housing”, but how can you say that an older man providing a spare room is “exploiting the need for housing” in the same way that bad landlords (such as corporations) that are evil, do the bare minimum, can’t wait for an excuse to jack up rent prices or evict someone for another person who will pay more etc are exploiting the need for housing? How is the older man renting out a spare room considered exploiting the need for housing versus considered providing a place to stay? Would it be better if spare rooms were not up for rent and thus there was even less housing available in a housing crisis?

If renting shouldn’t be banned, what do you propose? Are you really suggesting that homeowners provide spare rooms for people to stay for free, or are you suggesting something else? You’re going to have to explain your thoughts to me if you want me to understand.

Noones talking about excusing bad tenants. Stop building strawmen.

Well if there can be good tenants and bad tenants, surely there can be good landlords and bad landlords, or is that not possible, all of them are automatically evil?

Landlords, yes even the nice old man renting out his spare room, are making money simply because they already own property. Of course there is a spectrum between those and large corporations. But the underlying mechanism is still the same.

So by that logic, VPNs and Bitcoin should both be illegal because they can be used by criminals (even though they have legitimate uses too, like bypassing censorship in authoritarian states) because the underlying mechanism is the same

Just compare it to buying property where you continously pay off your credit. You get something in return, ownership of a property. Just because you are too poor to afford that, thus being forced ot pay rent, you receive significantly less for the money you spend on housing. Also, and this might be a weird stance for americans, I don’t think anyone should be facing the choice of being able to pay rent and ending homeless on the street.

So you’re saying that poor people should just… not live anywhere and instead should live on the street? I’m not sure I get your point, because if that is your point, it’s not a very good one.

They commonly siphon off income from workers to keep their properties value up. This is just pararsitic behaviour.

Sure they’re all evil parasites, whatever you say, I don’t think a large corporation renting out multiple buildings jumping at the chance to raise rent and/or evict someone who is even slightly late on rent is the same as an older man renting out a spare room in his house ever since his oldest moved out?

So bad tenants are an excuse to be an evil parasite towards every tenant there is? Also, being a landlord isn’t just a job. It is making more money from existing property by exploiting the need of housing of those that are not able to afford a place themselves.

So bad tenants being excused from any culpability means that all landlords are automatically evil no matter what?

It is making more money from existing property by exploiting the need of housing of those that are not able to afford a place themselves.

It is providing a place to stay for people who can’t otherwise afford one…? Or should those people just live on the street?
