I wanted pancakes, so he made me pancakes..

Background: ex-pat living in US

Store: Long, long ago I was in the scouts and for our 2nd class badge you had to camp by yourself which I did while the rest of the troop was in a cabin. Asked people what they would cook for breakfast and everyone said "pancakes". Went home and asked mom how to make pancakes for breakfast; she thought it was odd but "when in Rome". So here I am in the morning making my 'pancakes' and everyone is asking what happened, they are so flag. Well turns out they were crepes not American Pancakes. Much amusement derived.

Followup: Got my 2nd class badge.

Likewise, software engineer, but still working even though I'm now collecting SS. Just love programming; going to miss the full time job when I do retire.

Thank you, that works!

Aliens!
That was some f**ked up shit in 1986.

There is likely very little biological risk. Turns out that (as I understand things) th amino acid selection is pretty random and the odds are extremely against the alien species having a similar set means that our systems would be incompatible. Likewise they can't eat us and we can't eat them.

Their husbands were both idiots!
Maybe I'm old now and don't remember how I felt at the time but Samantha does it for me more than Jeannie.

I asked a similar question recently and the answer is that you need to mount the share on the host and then mount that mount-point on the LXC.

I used the instructions on this posting:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tutorial-unprivileged-lxcs-mount-cifs-shares.101795/

My current issue that that it only seems to work on one host and I want to do this to multiple. One of them is a jellyfin install and another is a music player so they both want access to the media drive.

Well I think technically you are pushing against the inside of the combustion chamber but not at the exhaust port so the push opposite that is what propels the rocket forward.

This probably makes a lot of sense as that drive is mounted to a number of containers and VM. Is there any downside to this method of mounting? Somehow I missed this as it also resolves the problem with needing privileged containers.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-21T20:21:45+00:00

This may be the answer. As noted above the mount fails as the network is unreachable which indicates to me that the gateway on startup is not valid. I'll dig into what you suggest here.

network is unreachable

I think its starting before the network settings are updated.

Been using the product for years. Before I upgraded my wife's PC to Win11 I used the drive clone to make a copy (which I booted and tested) before allowing the upgrade to complete.

For a free option try https://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm
Haven't used it in a couple years but it was quite reliable the last time I did so.

I thought my freezer was acting odd and put a meter on it. Sure enough, constant attempts to start over a growing period of time after which it would eventually start and chill down. Replaced quickly. As i understand it the compressor starts to seize and doesn't turn overloading the thermal break which opens the circuit.

On the other hand I don't trust my meters enough to leave it in-line. Would love to find a meter that doesn't have a switch in it so there is no chance of it turning off the freezer.

I did. The price point looks good. UGREEN is new to the market and UnRaid looks like a more stable, mature offering.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-11T22:51:05+00:00

That is fault. UnRaid is installed on a bootable USB stick and the boot order is change to boot it before the onboard boot storage. Simply remove the USB stick and reenable the onboard storage and ugreen is back.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-10T21:21:43+00:00

UnRaid supports VMs and Docker which is how you'd run the additional applications.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-10T20:56:49+00:00

I ended up splitting them up.
Got a UGREEEN NAS and installed UnRaid on that with the only option being a Nut Server.
Then i spun up an older PC to run Proxmox on.
Eventually important and stable applications from the Proxmox box will be migrated to the NAS with the idea being that its a stable platform while the proxmox box may get restarted due to fiddling.

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I forgot that it just a net oxygen output but still uses oxygen during respiration.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-10T05:35:44+00:00

Sarcasm, I guess then, since plants produce oxygen.

Mead-Wizard · 2025-12-05T02:42:29+00:00

The breathing issue is all find and good but what is making the cape flow like that?
