  • Thanks for the ideas.

    GPU does seem to be passed onto the docker container, not only because of the dramatic increase in speed, but also because the CPU isn’t being maxed out like it was before adding the GPU hardware line.

    Volumes are bind mounts.

    I experimented with permissions and user groups, and noticed no difference to the behaviour in render output.

    For these videos, quality isn’t super important, but file size is. I spent most of yesterday tweaking settings on my local Handbrake install to get the right balance. So, I assumed transferring the settings over would give the same results.


















  • We shouldn’t cap income, but total wealth. That would include stocks, assets, etc.

    People should be free to make money, and if making was balanced, then taxes would apply to everyone fairly.

    To reiterate, nobody should be worth a trillion, or even a billion.

    What about property - if the market skyrockets, are people forced to sell their homes?

    The cap wouldn’t be so low that this would become an issue. Unless you’ve hoarded multiple homes worth tens of millions each… a cap would discourage that type of hoarding, too.

    What about things like the wealthy transferring their extra wealth to children or spouses? How does that play into it?

    Family wealth would be capped, just as we are often taxed or given social assistance for total family income/assets.

    If wealth was capped, then even if a family spread around the wealth, it wouldn’t be hoarding to the tune of hundreds of billions.

    Really, we could have solutions to every scenario. But the fact is, our current system isn’t working at all. It’s perhaps the worst system you could dream up, unless you were among the top wealth hoarders in the world.

    But a fair and balanced system would still have “rich” people, they just won’t be rich enough to influence elections, control social media, or monopolize any industrial sector.
