  • Well I say you don’t know

  • "prompt engineering"
  • It’s a tool to you. To someone less tech literate, I can see where they don’t see a difference between this and uploading a copyrighted logo to vistaprint or your custom credit card design.

  • This community got removed from lemmy.world (again)
  • I am running on Lemmy-Easy-Deploy but it seems to be abandoned. How do you have yours set up?

  • Finally deleted my reddit account after the AI news. What communities do you recommend on lemmy?
  • Maybe I just haven’t had enough coffee yet, but I’m having a hard time determining which side you’re on. Are you saying it’s good that reddit is doing this?

  • *poke poke* is it still alive?
  • At this point, Voyager is best.

  • What do you do if a cop approaches you and starts questioning you while you're sitting in your car in a public parking lot?
  • The only time that might work is if it's a nice, expensive and well kept car. But then with that I doubt you're too worried about being harassed in the first place.

  • What do you do if a cop approaches you and starts questioning you while you're sitting in your car in a public parking lot?
  • Lol, no it doesn't and no don't do this. Especially don't do it on a "ghetto" looking van. This will make you even more of a target.

    This moron has a PD sticker thinking we'll leave him alone. Obviously he's up to something.

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • Oh I didn’t know about this either. Thanks! About to set that up right now!

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • Now this is something I’m interested in! I think I’m going to pick up that 3040 to set up and play around with since it’s so cheap. The i5-6500 should handle it well enough, right?

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • Never mind. I see now that Proxmox is a type 1 hypervisor now.

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • To be completely honest, I’m familiar enough with all of this to get myself in trouble and work my way back out of it and that’s about it.

    I was only trying to get away from the VM because if I’m away and the PiHole craps out, I can tell my wife “hold down the power button and reset the 3040” as opposed to trying to walk her through the VM setups.

    I’ve got Windows set up to log back in upon reboots (Windows updates and whatnot), then start up Plex, arrs, etc. But I couldn’t get the VMWare VM to turn on automatically.

    What prompted all of this was the 8 GB SD filling to 100% and freezing up my PiHole, blocking internet access due to the DNS server being down.

    So… I was trying to knock out both of those issues with the separate - PiHole and wife, restarts and VMs.

    But you’re saying I can get Proxmox running on the 3070 I already have (i5-9500T, 32 GB RAM, W11 Pro) and have it auto start and run everything?

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive

    I’ve done a little bit of searching but everything that comes up is about moving vm to vm hosts. I am currently running PiHole and Tailscale on a Pi Zero W 1.1 but it’s hammering the CPU (I assume Tailscale). I also have an always-on Windows Optiplex 3070 that’s running HomeAssistant on a VMWare vm. I found a $65 Optiplex 3040 that I’m planning to install Linux on and merge the Zero W and the VM to the Linux box but would like some guidance on whether it’s possible to move the VM to a boot drive. I’m not too concerned about losing the PiHole setup. I just wiped everything and started fresh yesterday (in an attempt to solve the CPU issue).

    A Texas company is suing Chicago after the city began penalizing buses that drop off migrants
  • Ah, that makes sense then as these would certainly also be prosecutable under federal law as they are crossing state lines.

  • Lol, no he's making that up. Kidnapping does not have a 24 hour requirement. A person doesn't even need to be moved to be guilty of kidnaping: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.20.htm

  • Mike Johnson is evil and controlled by the devil, says Christian minister
  • It seems you just want to argue. If he said that grass was green, you’d come back with “well actually it’s all colors EXCEPT for green. Green is what’s reflected back to your eye.”

    The fact is there are basic truths. Christians believe and follow the teachings of Jesus. If someone is not following those teachings, they are not Christian.

    I can say I’m a purple elephant and I hate all pink mice because my savior in the Book of Phants told me to. None of that is any more true just because I said it. Likewise, for Mike Johnson. He and his friends can say whatever they want. Their actions show their true beliefs.

    To be fair, I only use about 6 of those buttons, haha.
