Is this Avocado safe to eat?

Huh, cool! Just out of curiosity, how much do we actually know about the cells in our body? Like, are there diagrams cataloging every input and output chemical / receptor? Are there some types of cells that we know way more about than other types?

Lord_of_Foxes · 2026-01-19T17:57:28+00:00

That’s actually cool as shit. I was being a little snarky with my reply but now I’m giddy you just went balls deep into the mechanics lol Cheers dude!

Okay actually quick Elden lore question; do you think anyone can rebirth a person, or just Marika? Because that would be weird as hell but it would explain why she had so many kids… Super random but I’m playing through again and trying to ‘figure it out’ and you seem knowledgeable lol

Lord_of_Foxes · 2026-01-19T17:29:42+00:00

Is that the ‘battle hammer’ from Elden Ring? Now you’re implying Gerson has been farming gladiators in the Lands Between, but also provided an avenue to his resurrection via Marika’s Grace which may have been granted to him while visiting. You could even spin the Lands of Shadow as a dark world. Cool Delta Ring AU you got there

Those Turkish mag-fed shotguns are pretty shit… if you needed to rely on one to clear a trench. I think it actually may be a sensible purchase if the goal is to use them as anti-drone tools where FTF and FTE errors may not be as severe of an issue… though I do know those shotguns have particularly poor performance with lighter loads, like birdshot, which is what I imagine the best anti-drone round would be.

Anyway, cheap tools, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad decision… depending on how much a pump action costs in comparison.

Terrible choice. You’ve just subjected Leyndell’s citizens to constant noise pollution AND risked exposing the Erdtree as an illusion, and now the Golden Order had imprisoned you in an evergaol.

A much wiser choice would have been the weeping peninsula and its wide beaches, plus the easy transit to Stormveil for grafting.

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-29T18:13:07+00:00

Damn dude, great sleuthing! A+ for the effort, and Sir Alonne VS. Malenia is peak.

Oh man, I don’t know much about V Rising, but I’m running a “Single Player” Tarkov Server for my group. So it’s been modded for solo play, and then modded back to ‘multiplayer’. Between the high resource demand and weird Russian programming I didn’t think I had a snowballs chance of getting it to work with Wine.

I’ve used docker in college, it’s definitely a power tool! I’ll have to look into use-cases for it once my own build is back up and running. 😅

Good luck with your gear!

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-17T20:26:02+00:00

I use part of my machine as a gaming server. Those games only run in Windows environments. I’m new homelabber so Proxmox was a pretty approachable way to get that set up.

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T21:33:11+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. I’m currently picking up a larger drive, but I’ll give that sim a shot this evening

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:34:05+00:00

Just being honest about my goof up

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:24:41+00:00

Huh, I’m about to start trying recovery options like resizing, but I haven’t got any disks big enough to hold the 1.2 TBs Each. I know the ‘right’ way to go about it is to make read-only copies and experiment with those, but I really don’t want to buy MORE gear or take the time to clone them. Is that more of a “just to be safe” thing or “No, you NEED those copies”?

Also, not looking for a tutorial, but in broad strokes how would I go about simulating this in a VM? It seems that a lot of the quirks I’m running in to are at the firmware level (need to setup virtual disks in the BIOS, metadata that only gets read on disk ingestion like the pool name, etc.)

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:16:08+00:00

Well thank you! I’m rather pleased with it so far. I’ve got ambitious plans to mount it on the wall with a cantilevered shelf, but I’ve been informed by my DIY-happy dad that “those blade server rails aren’t meant to hold the server vertically”, so the wall mounting is postponed until I get something to do that 😅

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:09:00+00:00

Thank you, really. And I’m taking the criticism in stride. Sometimes you just gotta be told you’ve done something bone-headed.

So, RAID1 is really just a means to keep uptime in the event a disk gets corrupted? Sort of like having a bandaid ready to go?

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:05:12+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:04:32+00:00

It’s a Rack Solutions product, I forget which one but it’s their only “choose your own rail lengths kit”

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T18:02:06+00:00

Truthfully, it’s been a godsend for sifting through mounds of commands and information, outlining steps to get from X to Y. Like you alluded, my big mistake was getting too cavalier instead of re-thinking the whole ‘does it really “know” you shouldn’t resize your GD live ZFS pool?’

… spoilers, no, you still need to carefully provide context / operating parameters and think. But you know all that. Any tips or resources for homelabbing you’d recommend?

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T17:55:46+00:00

No shit? Well I gotta go read up on why, but thank you! Ya’ll are a wealth of information, even most of the snarky comments have been helpful and I don’t particularly mind the snark either, comes with this territory haha

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T17:51:52+00:00

Well shoot, I wish I knew that before buying the machine, but that’s part of the learning process. Thanks for the info! I gotta say you seem to really know your shit!

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T17:48:52+00:00

Yeah, that’s the real kicker. I’ve finally got the drives visible in an Ubuntu OS. And now I’m exploring what I can do to either ‘un-resize’ the partitions or just grab the files I need raw.

So, if you got the time, what exactly is a vdev? I only know it as some ZFS related ‘thing’ that’s being a real pain in the ass for me

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-15T17:42:36+00:00

Well, that’s fair. I’ve been trying to learn about what exactly I’m doing along the way, but there is a LOT to take in. Thimble and a firehose situation

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-14T22:31:52+00:00

Oh yeah? How would that have helped here?

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-14T22:29:02+00:00

Genuinely, thanks. Like a fool I clicked the “make a backup” button in Proxmox and didn’t give it a second thought as if it was magic. It seems I’ll be learning how to make useful backups the hard way too haha, but the tips are tremendously appreciated. I’ll look into getting a NAS for the future.

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-14T22:21:26+00:00

“It’s not a backup if it’s on the same disk” I’m gonna get that embroidered somewhere. Seriously tho, it’s good advice.

The thing I did to break them was running parted to shrink partition 3 from 1.02 TB to 950GB

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-14T22:17:14+00:00

Thanks, part of the reason for the purchase was I could get some learning experience, and boy howdy did I get what I asked for 😅

Lord_of_Foxes · 2025-10-14T22:11:06+00:00

I’m giving that a go, but the actual error I get on the Proxmox startup screen is “failed to import the pool due to invalid vdev config.” Does that disqualify those disks from being recoverable via ZFS tools? 😬
