The report goes to your local server admins as well as the community admins. It’s possible with enough reports the account or instance could get banned by either.
I was thinking exactly this. If this is account wide, not per bucket, it would work well for instance media storage for me. The amt I have stored for backups dwarfs how much data is in my pictrs.
Not the person you responded to. I’m running OMV in a VM in Proxmox. This gives me the flexibility to experiment in other vms while leaving my OMV vm alone. I have no complaints, it runs great, but if your use case is 95% NAS with a few containers sprinkled on top I’d probably not go that route.

If the dentist is causing you more than mild discomfort they’re doing it wrong and you should not accept that! If lidocaine doesn’t work for you then they need to try other meds or different dosages.
This has been normalized for you and it’s wrong. You deserve better.
Find a better dentist. One who focuses on you, listens to you, doesn’t shame you for being in the pain they caused.
I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been using Ubuntu on my servers for years but all the crap around snaps and paid sec updates has worn me down. I’m actively in the process of switching it all to Debian.
Probably the usual. 80/443, wireguard, a couple game servers.
For those of you who staunchly put your open ports on a VPS and wireguard tunnel it back to your home server, are you firewalling that wg connection to only allow specific traffic?
It’s not just real estate. We’ve already seen over the pandemic the collapse of some businesses that depend on office workers. Many of the places I used to hit for lunch are gone now.
If your employee isn’t paying attn during meetings and not performing well due to that, that’s a performance issue. Not a location issue.
If they’re not paying attn and are still performing well, maybe the meeting has no value.
Companies should provide the necessary equipment to do the job. That includes an adequate headset, camera, etc… Not providing a $50 headset is not a reason to enforce a commute.
I’ve had a remote managers and remote teams for almost a decade now. When I had an office to go to I was often less productive due to all the distractions. Being in a physical location makes it too easy for people to try and jump the queue and just walk over to my desk.
While I miss (and I very much do miss) the socializing aspect of a shared workspace it didn’t make me more productive.
My current job, which is completely remote, with a geographically spread out team, takes steps to mitigate the separation. Most work related convos take place in an open text channel unless they’re private. So you get that, “I heard you taking to Bob about XYZ”.
We use cameras on team meetings. It helps with the human connection as well as with being present when you can see other people and look them in the eye.
Is it tho? It’s exceptionally rare for me to eat it for lunch when I’m working from home. When I was in the office it was regularly once it twice a week.
You’re still buying more food from the grocery than you would otherwise
You are probably correct, but eating at home is way more efficient/cost effective at home than out. I make a little more to have leftovers or I buy an extra lb of cold cuts for the week.
and you can make the effort to buy from specialists (like directly from a butcher) instead of going to whole food or similar chains.
Yeah but I don’t. 😆
Just to be clear I wasn’t making an argument for forcing people back into the office. I’m squarely against it for most jobs that can be performed remotely. I was just pointing out that it’s not just landlords and lazy managers who were effected. I know of at least a couple shops who’s primary business was the lunch crowd that are now closed due to the pandemic.

I have a cheap HP printer/scanner. It works well enough it’s not in the garbage but this and their “I must be signed in” to print bullshit have ensured I won’t buy another HP printer when I either get fed up or it dies.
I’m talking specifically about obeying the speed limit, doing a full stop at stop signs, etc. After receiving a speeding ticket for doing 53 in a 50, As an experiment I went a full day obeying all traffic laws 100% and it caused so much road rage. For example, there is a 2 lane road near me with a speed limit of 50 (where I...
Uh, what? This whole post feels like rage bait or you live in a very angry and unsafe area. I don’t experience any of this.
No one gets a ticket for a 53 in a 50 and if you actually did it would get thrown out in court. Definitely fight that.
2 Lane roads. I hate em. But but that’s all I have within 10 miles of me. I pass people, people pass me, no one is blaring their horn and brake checking (which is extremely dangerous) at all, much less daily.
Never in my 30 years of driving have a had someone lose their shit over stopping at a stop sign or a red light. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen someone run a red light.
And while people do speed in work zones, doing 60 in a 25 work zone will lose you your license here. That would be an exceptionally stupid thing to do.
This reads like an angry exaggerated rant by someone pissed they got a ticket. If it’s not, I’m sorry you live in an area full of unsafe angry people.

I’m all for shitting on mandatory subscription services but this is optional. You have a choice. Why are you shitting on choice?
I actually have the cheapest sub for this because I did the math and it’s cheaper than buying cartridges. I use the printer enough to justify it’s existence but that’s about it. If they price goes up and the math doesn’t work anymore I’ll cancel it.
I feel like you already have your answer, which is to install unraid, if you really just want to get it done.
But if you’re willing to take a little time to learn something new I’d go proxmox as it gives you tons of flexibility. You should be able to figure out quickly if unraid in a vm is going to work for you, and if not, abort and do bare metal.
If your concern is booting USB for unraid the solution is to sacrifice at least one of your drives as a boot drive, or if you have the room get a pair of small SAS drives and configure a raid 1 vol in the perc controller.
How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can’t set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.
Blocking a number on you phone just tells the phone to hide the incoming call not the carrier. The call rings through unanswered and then the carrier routes it to voicemail like any other call.
You would need to block the caller at the carrier. Most have some kind of block list you can enable. The alternative would be a non-standard dialer app that, rather than hiding the incoming call, would pick it up and drop it. I don’t know if such software exists.
