In Canada, presumably.

Quick! To SCOTUS for a 5-4 decision in favor of the administration overturning this decision!

Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).

Oh Monsanto, never change.

When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?

Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.

Nice to see Wegmans on the list. This is also how I find out that Danny isn’t the CEO anymore (guess the cocaine habit finally won out).

Not that I could afford one of those cars, but I’m so glad I was able to buy a Hyundai earlier this year. I can only imagine what will happen to prices across the auto industry in the coming months/years.

Good as in “the worst that the Internet has to offer is an old man orgy”.

It was a simpler time.

Jesus, tell me that site is still up. I need to be reminded of when the Internet had good things.

I bought a car that comes with a “free” 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?

For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn’t worth it.

Oh man, that link is dead? Or is archive.org having issues?

I’m not sure if the person I replied to was thinking about this movie in particular, but it certainly came to mind when I posted that gif:

Also of note - if you’re using docker (and Linux), make sure the user is/group id match across everything to eliminate any permissions issues.

We are all domestic terrorists now?

Not really, but I can give you my reasons for doing so. Know that you’ll need some shared storage (NFS, CIFS, etc) to take full advantage of the cluster.

1. Zero downtime for patching. Taking systems offline to update Proxmox sucks, especially if the upgrade fails for some reason. A cluster means I can evacuate one host, upgrade it, and move on to the next with no downtime for the hosted VMs.
2. Critical service resiliency. I have a couple of critical systems in my home lab that, if they unexpectedly go down, will make for a very bad day. For instance, my entire home network (and lab) is configured to use a PowerDNS cluster for DNS. I can put the master PowerDNS server on one host and the slave on a second host - if I have a hardware failure, I won’t lose DNS. I have a similar setup for my Kubernetes cluster’s worker nodes.
3. Experimentation. A cluster gives me a larger shared pool of CPU/Memory than my single host could offer. This means I can spin up new VMs, LXC containers, etc and just play with new software and services. Heck that’s how I got started with my Kubernetes cluster - I had some spare capacity so I found a blog post that talked about Kubes on LXC containers and I spun it up.

I hope that helps give some reasons for doing a cluster, and apologies for not replying immediately. I’m happy to share more about my homelab/answer other questions about my setup.

I dunno, Trump showed the world you can completely give up decades of hard won soft power in only two months, maybe China will think it’s cool?

I had some luck cobbling together a HiFiBerry with some speakers. It’s not the same thing, but it does show up like a streamable audio device.

It’s not super cheap though.

Those are beasts! My homelab has three of them in a Proxmox cluster. I love that for not a ton of extra money you can throw in a PCIe expansion slot and the power consumption for all three is less than my second hand Dell Tower server.

Well, obviously this is the result of [outside group of people I personally hate/am racist against].

Actually, with the drastic cuts to NOAA and science, how long before we’ll hear that the death toll is as large as it is because of DEI or illegal immigration?
