  • Then you’d have to share them back from the host to the guest using NFS or samba, and there’s no reason to have them on the host. No, you’re fine. That’s what I would consider the right way to do it for what you describe as your purpose. Putting more layers in there isn’t serving a useful purpose, which is why I say to not bother with a NAS to store them, if your primary use of them is via the Arr stack VM.

    They seem to go in spurts on the cryptobullshit. Sometimes you go for months without hearing anything about it, then it’s part of the next 5 LUP shows. I can certainly do without it, and I think he gets emails shitting on him for it and he tones down for a while.

    I did walk away from all his shows for a couple years there because he was on and on about how anyone that’s still mad at Microsoft is stupid, and I couldn’t take it. It was like he was on the payroll there for a while.

    It’s unfortunate, I’d have an issue too, I have Canadian farmer levels of swearing I don’t even notice myself doing it. And some of the sayings are probably racist as hell but it’s not meant that way, it’s just carryover from the old days.

    In the end I think it worked out well for him, but some understanding that not every culture is as uptight and puritanical as America would have been in order.



  • If you don’t want telemetry, you have to use VScodium, and then you don’t get to use marketplace. Github didn’t start as a Microsoft project or it would be far more enshittified than it is now, but even so Microsoft is sure trying to fuck that up with their Copilot bullshit.

    WSL is the definitition of EEE, and has prevented a great deal of Linux-ward movement that might have happened without it, even with IT department resistance. It’s a crutch to keep devs from having to go to Linux to get the useful tools, like docker which is a mess on Windows, but just usable enough to get by.

    And oh, yes, Teams can get shot with a ball of its own shit and fall into the dumpster fire.


  • You’re doing it fine. You can overprovision your zpool that way for other VMs with datasets on the pool, and it only uses what it needs for each set. And you can exclude the media pool from backups and repllications if you like. There’s no performance hit the way you’r doing it.

    I sure wouldn’t bother with any sort of NAS intermediary, you can share out the media pool via the Jellyfin VM if you really need to, but I can’t see why you would if you’re using Arr stack components already.

    Jupiter Broadcasting? Still alive and kicking. Not sure what you mean by digitial ocean, thry had merged with Linux Academy for some odd reason, then A Cloud Guru bought LA, then Joe Ressington got shitcanned for using a very british slang in a meeting and seemed like right after that Chris took it back independent and he kept on with LUP, Selfhosted and a couple others I don’t listen to.

    Ressington has gone on to make what I think is a very successful Linux podcasting network, Late Night Linux, certainly enjoy their shows. I’ve been a patron of his stuff for several years now, and there’s a good bunch of people hosting those shows these days.









  • I’ve done body work and painting, and trying to do it the “right way” is a black art of the highest order. My hat is off to people that master this, I definitely have not.

    And yes, you will not find good products at the usual suspects. You have to find an actual automotive paint supply and convince them to sell to you. And it is not cheap. If it’s cheap, it’s not good. The materials alone to do a complete car will be almost $1000 between filler,masking, sanding materials, primer, paint, clear and hardener.

    And then all this has to be done with a good paint gun, in a dust-free environment, after you burn through a bunch of practice material. I’m not saying a paint job needs to be $10,000 like some of the shops want to charge, but it isn’t peanuts to DIY and you better have some pretty good native talent at it.






  • Wayland is the future, and the present. I wouldn’t shy away from it. I’ve been using it for years with multi-monitor and multi-gpu, it beats the hell out of having to dink with X11 about once a week to keep my screens in the right place.

    And with X11 pretty much on life support, it’s time. And Mint isn’t the distro to do that on.

    Ubuntu doesn’t push flatpaks, they push Snaps. But Ubuntu has a ton of other issues, so YMMV. It might be the one for you, who knows.
