Get your daughter out of this relationship asap, or even better, have a serious talk with her about what scientology, explore what it is and what it does to its members together, so she can then consider the situation and navigate it for herself.

Or even better, she's already being manipulated and scientology are GOOD at it while you are just yet another concerned relative they can easily cut off your daughter's life.

Get her out, even against her better judgement if she is a minor, but honestly even if she is not.

If the guy is renouncing Scientology, MAYBE, he can stay.

Why is noone mentioning the fact that the trip would be paid by the other guy?

Personally I would never accept that in a billion years. Is he trying to buy your forgiveness or something? Gross.

I personally have never noticed flaws when such tecniques are employed, but it may be just immersion doing its job. I've never heard of Austin Power being singled out for its special effects...

Compositing has been a thing for, like, forever, going from cutting and gluing film together to, well, having lookalike instead of the real actor in certain shots...

I'm mostly weirded by how you found out only now. I guess go and have fun looking up "Captain Disillusion" youtube channel.

One of the most beautiful opening lines to a novel.

Abundantly clearly not.

No you don't. You will, sadly, normalize a perpetual state of conflict.

If you can avoid it or mitigate it, it's for the best.

You are right for feeling dirty, maybe reconsider everything about the situation and work on why would you even let hatred be part of your work environment.

I don't get it.

Edit: best I got is "I am a pi-ness". I guess it works as a math joke?

Edit2: "I am happiness?"

As long as your kids currend and future friends will be on Windows there will be potential issues. There's also the matter of familiarizing yourself with an environment that monopolyze the professional environment...

 

I have a proxmox+Debian+docker server and I'm looking to setup my backups so that they get backed up (DUH) on my Linux PC whenever it comes online on the local network.

I'm not sure if what's best is backing up locally and having something else handling the copying, how to have those backup run only if they haven't run in a while regardless of the availability of the PC, if it's best to have the PC run the logic or to keep the control over it on the server.

Mostly I don't want to waste space on my server because it's limited...

I don't know the what and I don't know the how, currently, any input is appreciated.

 

Hi,

I've been playing with a Dell mini PC (OptiPlex 7070) that I set up with Proxmox and a single Debian virtual machine that hosts a bunch of containers (mostly an *arr stack).

All the data resides on the single SSD that came with the machine, but I'm now satisfied with the whole ordeal and would like to migrate my storage from my PC to this solution.

What's the best approach software side? I have a bunch of HD in of varying size and age (therefore expected reliability) and I'd initially dedicate such storage to data I can 100% afford to lose (basically media).

I read I should avoid USB (even though my mini PC exposes a USB-C) for reliability, but on the other hand I'm not sure what other options I have that doesn't force me to buy a NAS or properly sized HD to install inside the machine...

Also, what's a good filesystem for my usecase?

Thank for any tips.

 

I migrated almost everything on Linux and, low and behold, the only game giving me issues is DOTA2.

I'm using Steam flatpack, it runs, I can play against bots, I can spectate games. The moment i try to play in matchmaking a VAC messadge pops up preventing me from starting a game.

I tried reinstalling, veryfying the files, installing on a differend hard drive, scanning the disks for errors.

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Edit: thanks guys, it was actually Proton!
