It took me a while to find a moment to give it a go, but I created a test dataset under my main ZFS pool and added it to a CT - it did snapshots and replication fine.

The one question I have is - for the bind-mounts, I didn't have any size set - and they accurately show remaining disk space for the pool they are on.

Here it seems I MUST give a size? Is that correct? I didn't really want to allocate a smaller size for any given dataset, if possible. I saw something about storage-backed mount points, and adding them (via config file, versus GUI) and setting "size=0" - if this is of a ZFS dataset, would this "turn" it into a directory and prevent snapshotting or replicating to other nodes?

One last question - when I'm adding anything to the Datacenter's storage section, do I want to check availability for all nodes? Does that matter?

Thanks again!

Former USAF JAG here (lawyer). I was always a tech geek, undergrad major was in MIS actually, but I didn't enjoy coding. Always ran Plex on the side, built my own computers, etc. Grew up with my Dad using Linux everywhere (I found this annoying as I just wanted to play games on Windows).

I didn't enjoy law (surprise!). I was disillusioned with the criminal justice system too. Quit the law in 2020. Then suddenly had quality time by global happenstance to rethink my life path.

I work in IT now. Restarted at the bottom of a new career but I'm in deep nerd territory now - Proxmox servers, Home Assistant, networks with VLANs, OPNsense router, 22U server rack, Linux as my daily driver, etc.

Much happier now.

Hello friend. Indian American here. My parents immigrated here, and their ticket in was education. I understand your grades aren't great, and I also acknowledge that my parents did come from middle-to-upper-class privilege.

I work for an IT company who employees (not outsources) individuals in India. Several of them have left India to come to the U.S. or Canada. For all of them, education has always been the way out. They knew they wanted out, so they grinded hard in the short-term, and applied aggressively abroad for graduate-level education.

Find a niche in something that does interest you. It seems you are very socioeconomically aware, consider something in such a realm that makes you stand out (yes, I understand this is easier said than done, especially in a nation of 1.3...1.4? billion).

Saying that, also understand that STEM-related expertise areas are much more sought after. So it might not be a bad idea to focus on that side and/or diversify.

I won't contest a lot of what you said about India - much of that is accurate. Some of that is more cynical than necessary. But change is slow and it would be wrong of me to tell you to stay and change a nation in a region notoriously resistant to change. Unless you're the next coming of Barack Obama charisma, in which case, please help change India, hahaha.

You're young, you have plenty of time. So don't feel burdened not finding a spark at this era in your life. My Mom immigrated here only after marriage, when she was 28. The coworkers I've mentioned have all been in their late 20s or early-to-mid 30s.

I want to add - you're not worthless. Don't devalue yourself needlessly based on the decrees of an unfair and unjust society or uncaring peers and family.

Agreed - Tarkin is a leader of the Galactic Empire, an extremely fascist regime modeled off Nazi Germany that also practices xenophobia.

He is absolutely authoritarian right, not authoritarian left.

Not sure a good choice for authoritarian left? Maybe Natasi Daala in the EU when she rules the GFFA and decides enough of a weird religious order being above the law (the NJO, of course)?

If you are on iOS, I recommend using the following:

https://ente.io/auth/

It's open-source and recommended by PrivacyGuides.

I'm on Android, where that's also an option I believe, but I'm using Aegis.

Bitwarden also came out with an open-source MFA app, though it's a bit new so I'd recommend waiting to see what folks say about it.

Raivo uses to be a good (and the only decent) choice for iOS but I believe it was acquired by an insidious company.

Conservatism.

I'm a leftist and former practicing attorney who has interest in geopolitics and public international law - I studied this world as my niche previously.

They're not correct. Constitutionally, the Executive has very broad powers in international affairs. The War Powers Resolution (WPR) was an attempt to constrain this. Administrations have largely been careful to state their actions are "consistent with" the WPR. Courts have not properly come to any real decision of its bounds, keeping this lane very gray and deferring to inherent Executive authority regarding foreign affairs. Obama was the only one who partially paid it some heed when he asked for Congressional authorization to militarily intervene in Syria as al-Assad began use of chemical weapons on his citizens in the midst of the Syrian Civil War (who remembers the red line to not be crossed...that got crossed?). The legal framework authorizing the use of force has basically been the AUMF, plus other broader, vaguer legal concepts that have held up under judicial review.

Anyway, big fan of the Justice Democrats and always concerned with U.S. use of force abroad, especially after it became apparent how fascist despots like Trump can come to power and do great harm to international peace and security. But on this topic - Biden's within legal bounds, by all accounts.

Believe me, you won't feel this way by the end. Best show in the universe. The dark aspects are necessary for the story, but the payout is amazing. I constantly want to rewatch it.

You're too naive.

There is a paradox of tolerating the intolerant.

Our enemy are fascists, plain and simple. They don't deserve a voice. The only intelligent approsch is to combat them, as their purpose is to subvert democracy, however horribly flawed a system it is, with exclusionary autocracy. This era isn't one of two parties who both believe in democracy, finding some disagreement on issues. This is a crisis, "post-fact" era where truth is ignored, corruption and power-grabs are blatant and undisguised, and bigotry is rampant.

No.

Society tolerating people with evil views begets more evil.

I don't have one - it took me a very long time to find it - back before also-MAGA Elon bought Twitter, I scrolled back to his history and saw re-tweets and comments in November/December 2020 regarding the election denial nonsense.

If you're able to find archive of this, I'm sure you'll stumble into it (assuming it's not able to be found on the website now).

The trigger for me to even look for this was a random video in which he was badmouthing LA/California in the video/comments and it made me grow suspicious.

I was so disappointed to see that this guy was a MAGA supporter and election denier.

Yes, I do care about the politics of people not in the political space. I don't think people harboring such lunatic views should be legitimized.
