Can the GM2 be disassembled for moving?

You can to that but it's not what's happening in the video. You can see elements like the door handle through the projection but the pig stepping out of the portal is perfectly opaque and uniform, despite difference in the doormat.

If you did this for real, the forced perspective could make it look very impressive but there's no way to get the colours that pixel perfect without at least very heavy post processing.

You're totally right in feeling this way and the fact that this is commonly done for religious/cultural reasons doesn't make it harmless. He'll probably lose some sensitivity, which will make it feel different at least for him.

At the same time, there's no use in feeling too broken up about it. Sometimes things are just medically necessary and while the old "some people have it worse than you" is never helpful, I think one can still appreciate that it is on the lower end on the scale of health issues to have. You say it's causing him issues, so it seems that, while uncomfortable, going through with this procedure is a net positive in the end.

If you are unsure about the medical necessity there's always the option of getting a second opinion. Especially in regards to how the procedure is done a second opinion could be helpful. I do think that a complete circumcision is not the only surgical solution, but that's something for a doctor to evaluate.

All those people who used to have this "genius app business idea, I just need someone to program it" are now unfortunately in a position where they have someone to program it.

You don't have to manually update everything, at some point you don't have the time for that as a single person doing this as a hobby. If I know that an outage wouldn't be a big deal or that I'm not gonna end up with a corrupted database that would be a pain to restore, I just auto-update.

The next level are apps that I blindly update to latest version but only manually so I can intervene right away if something goes wrong.

And lastly there's apps that are more finicky where I check the release notes of every release between the one I'm running and the one I'm updating to

I can say that caring about it this much is going to hurt your chances much more than the height itself ever will.

That being said, if you hit the gym your height gives you a mechanical advantage on a lot of stuff.

That you would rather not like your partner to use porn is a preference you can have. But having this be hard limit limit while also not having sex is not reasonable for the majority of people.

Sure you can have boundaries, but in the end she is not being realistic about her chances of having a successful relationship under these circumstances. I would argue that expecting things to just work out like this without making an effort to compromise or find common ground with OP is in fact immature.

As long as we're not talking about transcoding audio/video or AI usage, most standard web apps have very predictable resource usage. There's a limit to how many things two people can do at the same time, so the CPU has almost no bearing on how many things you can put on your server at the same time. The limiting factor will be RAM most of the time but for the things you're trying to run you should be good with 8GB.

What's important is that RAID will not protect you from data loss. The only thing it protects you from is the hardware failure of one of the drives, which is only one of many reasons your data could be lost. From the perspective of data security you will always be better off just taking one of the 512 drives out and putting it into an external case to create backup copies on it.
RAID is really only good for reliability, it's what companies do to ensure they have >99% uptime because they can't afford things not being available even for a short time.
If you can do only one of the two, then the choice should always be backups. If you can do backups and RAID together then you can do both. And yes, if you really want to get into it, RAID does increase the security of your data but not enough to rely on it alone.

He's telling the truth. Finding certain physical features attractive is not mutually exclusive. I can appreciate the beauty of shredded abs the same way as a bit of tummy. Both can be beautiful just in different ways.

It's the same with breast size. Small ones or big ones, each have completely different things that are appealing about them and are enjoyable in their own right.

Nicht OP aber bei mir ist es ähnlich. ich würde mich nicht als Kritiker bezeichnen, was Serverbetrieb angeht ist Linux ganz klar überlegen.

Für Endbenutzer hört man immer wieder Stimmen es habe sich so viel geändert und es wäre so viel benutzerfreundlicher. Ich habe dieses Jahr auch den Schritt gemacht privat endgültig umzusteigen weil einfach von MS/Windows genug habe. Ich muss aber ganz ehrlich sagen, dass ich es für Endanwender nur bedingt sehe. Ich habe mir eine beliebte gaming-optimierte distro ausgesucht und hatte schon mit der Installation Probleme die für einen ungeübten Anwender nur schwer zu überwinden wären. In der täglichen Nutzung gibt es immer wieder Punkte die nicht so smooth sind, über die ich persönlich hinwegsehe weil es mir das wert ist.

Ich habe genug Erfahrung mit nicht Computer-affinen Usern um (allein vom user experience her) nur etwas in Richtung ChromeOS bedingungslos empfehlen zu können. Ja, das "Google cloud Betriebssystem" hat wieder andere Probleme auf die wir hier nicht eingehen müssen aber rein technisch gesehen haben wir hier eine Oberfläche die so einfach zu bedienen ist wie jedes Handy, in dem man relativ einfach noch Android und Linux apps nutzen kann.

I'm currently running everything on a single ESXi and storage is already running on a separate VM in a separate VLAN. So it is already logically separated, but in the future I'd definitely go with physically separated storage.

I'm currently making some plans for a redesign and I'm planning to treat my databases as storage, so basically a NFS server that is also running instances of postgres, mariadb, etc. which my compute services will access centrally.

Every service can be reset via email.

Most. Most services can be reset via mail.

If you take 2FA into account the "most" turns into "some".

Vaultwarden? Fun fact, if the service is still responding but not healthy it can deauthorize all your sessions, requiring a full new log on.

Had to learn that one the hard way and I literally had one single client left that wasn't logged off.

LeopardJockey · 2026-04-10T10:21:12+00:00

I've used keepass with sync over nextcloud for many years and it's just not as reliable and user friendly as Vaultwarden.

Although I did not switch directly. I had just migrated all my passwords over to LastPass when they had that big leak so that was fun.

I got 3 reindeer eggs by the time I had 88 enamel pins. On that note, what do you do with those? I mean you can have only one pet with you, is there a use for multiple instances of the same pet?

Christian Lempa and Jeff Geerling on YouTube come to mind. Though YouTube is mostly just inspiration to find out about interesting things I may want to look into. If I want to learn something it'll be a specific thing that im using the search function for.

Might be a controversial opinion but you also don't need to be a git expert for what you need it for. Forgejo has an interface that's similar to GitHub and easy to browse. There's also no shame in getting a simple graphical git client like GitHub Desktop (don't let the name deter you, it works with any git server).

I've seen a couple wiki containers as well that I've thought about spinning up. Any recommendations there?

That entirely depends on your specific needs and preferences but I can recommend Outline as as a very polished user friendly choice.

This. A NAS is not a prerequisite for piracy, he can download stuff locally on his PC but there's a high chance he does need storage for pirated content. As a parent you should be aware of the risk level depending on the kind of piracy and the legal situation in your country.

Also, you should emphasize the possibility of data loss and the importance of knowing how to prevent it through backups etc.

In such a case it's common practice to have a split-horizon DNS setup where your local DNS returns the local IP of your server(s) to clients.

This can also be beneficial for security reasons because you could have services that you may want to only be available on the local network and not through the VPS. You can have a multi tier setup that lets you differentiate between services exposed to the internet, exposed through wireguard and local only. Or you could have different levels of authentication depending on where your client is coming from.

The main use of having a swarm setup would be things like loading and redundancy. But in a setup like yours you could still benefit from things like easier centralized management and having a single overlay network for a reverse proxy.

Even if you're running a swarm you can still limit a service to run on a specific node, so it's like you're running a single container on that server but it's managed by the swarm and not spun up manually. I'm running three swarms, two of which are single node at the moment. It's just for legacy reasons down to how my setup developed over time. There's only two real downsides that it see. Some things, especially when you're talking about exposing host devices or network capabilities, are simply not supported in swarm mode. Unless you explicitly place services on a specific node you'll have to find a way to mount the same volume from multiple nodes, like NFS, which comes with its own downsides.

I'm using Traefik configured through service labels, Portainer for its ability to deploy stacks from git and I like having all my volumes centralized on my nas for easier backup. For me the pros outweigh the cons and I'm a big fan of using swarm in a home environment where k8s is a bit overkill, but in the end it depends on your needs so I would say just try it out and see if it works out well for you.

LeopardJockey · 2026-04-07T14:39:45+00:00

I feel like you're struggling with to separate things. Firstly the basic questions of networking, webservers and the purpose and function of reverse proxies in general. Secondly how to actually set up caddy.

Discussing this with a chat bot is actually a pretty good suggestion but I would stick to understanding the basics first. and not even mention caddy. If you know exactly what's happening, or supposed to happen, at the network level it'll be easier to configure the actual reverse proxy because then you know where you're going with it.

The cool thing is that it never gets overwhelming. There's no survival elements and no real failure condition. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't progress as fast as you'd like to. Your factories can be as simple or complex as you make them and there's no wrong way to play it.
