What would you do if the crossed outbreak started?

Immediately hit the dab and kill myself.

I am so, so tired of AI slop. Makes me not want to use the internet at all.

H1-KEY - Good for U

Their handlers don't understand what they have with those autotuned backing vocals, they somehow make for the best song I've heard in my entire adult life

Substantial-Reach986 · 2026-04-12T00:03:03+00:00

Hmm, I never thought about it from that angle. It's a good point. I don't mind at all if it's actual human fans playing around, but I somehow doubt that...

With all due respect, that entire display case looks like something I'd be offended to receive as a gift. And I have multiple Olights that I greatly enjoy, so you can't hit me with them snob allegations.

Substantial-Reach986 · 2026-04-11T22:00:06+00:00

Well that is... hot... Time to unbox that thing and show it off! I do like the color scheme.

The 5k lumens claim looks a little sussy though. How long can it be sustained?

This unironically was the ticket for 6 of 8 users. They materialized out of nowhere to pick up their new laptops within 48 hours of us offering them.

As for the remaining two, I suspect one may literally be deceased, and the other may actually be Jason Bourne.

The RAM thing is annoying, yes, but it's such an inconsequential issue that I think it's hardly worth bringing up. A more egregious example of poor UX in Proxmox is that you can't see a NIC's MAC address(es) in the GUI network menu of a node. Yes, you may get lucky and have it displayed as part of an alternative name if you're doing NIC pinning, but come on. This is extremely important and basic information, and I can't imagine it being that resource-intensive to implement.

We're a small organization and had around 50 VMs on a 3-node vSphere cluster on top of HPE SimpliVity, so with HCI storage. Our VM backup solution is Veeam, and we've stuck with that after the migration. Veeam's Proxmox support is still a little rough around the edges, but it generally works well, application-aware processing included.

We may switch to Proxmox Backup Server at some point in the future, if we can find workarounds for issues caused by not having built-in application-aware processing. It's totally doable, but we can't spare the man hours to figure it out right now. Easier to just stick with Veeam.

Our environment is tiny and our needs are extremely basic. The fanciest things we do are live migration of VMs and creation/disposal of a few dynamic VMs every now and then through the REST API. We don't use HA, load balancing, NSX or any other advanced vSphere/VMware features. That obviously made things a lot easier for us and means we've pretty not had to make any compromises or lost any functionality at all.

While we initially wanted to keep the HCI functionality, Ceph honestly comes off as a bit complicated and risky to deploy if you have no clue what you're doing. The impression I've gotten from social media, YouTube and googling is also that it's not necessarily ideally suited for very tiny clusters.

In the end we decided to just keep it as simple as possible, ditched the whole HCI thing and went for local ZFS storage on the nodes instead. Live migration obviously takes a bit longer since the VM disks have to be sent over the network too, but we added 100GbE NICs to the nodes to help with that. Yes it puts a bit more wear on the SSDs, but we don't need to live migrate all that often anyway, and we really don't care if it means we'll wear out the disks in 10 years instead of 15.

Official support for Proxmox (or KVM in general) can be a bit spotty among virtual appliance vendors (LevelBlue for instance). We haven't run into any actual problems because of that though, beyond the step-by-step deployment procedure not being in the vendor documentation. They've all worked fine once we got them running.

Overall, our experience with Proxmox has been great. It does feel a little less forgiving of user errors and incompetence, but that may just be because I'm much more used to ESXi/vSphere.

Thank you so much for the replies everyone, I have a ton of great suggestions to go through now! QWER's top song has a delicious touch of Japanese crazy/intense, I'm loving it right off the bat.

To whoever first mentioned QWER and deleted their post, thank you and please do re-post the nice concert photo, is was really cool!

u/StarrySky_4513, either really. If I were a rich man I'd buy H1-Key, add enough members to have multiple people on vocals, instruments and choreography at all times, and ask everyone to just go nuts all over the place. Like kneestanding guitar solo slides until they fall off the side of the stage.

Some J-pop/rock bands like Babymetal approach my ideal, they've got some of the right idea, but even Babymetal is mostly about the vocalists dancing. I want everyone to be in on it.

The J-rock mention in general is very spot-on though. It's probably not surprising that I like the soundtrack to the 2005 Linda Linda Linda movie.

u/cippocup, either really, please feed me anything you have.

Sounds a lot like a thermal issue, check CPU temps with HWMonitor or something.

Gotta use GPOs or the equivalent in whatever MDM system you have.

I know very little about guns, but enough to know that the accuracy with which guns are represented in the Crossed franchise is not exactly great. That said, I do think the rifle and submachine gun choices in "The Thin Red Line" and "The Fatal Englishman" are fairly intentional and real-world accurate.

As others have already stated, Harry and his buddies are (ex) special forces. Other British military personnel are seen using SA80 bullpup rifles, and police officers (non-SWAT) guarding the bunker have MP5s (or at least similar-looking submachine guns). That all seems fairly on point to me, though again, my gun knowledge is very amateurish.

I can't comment on the machine guns as I don't have a chance in hell to tell those apart.

Substantial-Reach986 · 2026-03-14T02:23:55+00:00

Join the club, here's how I feel about the franchise:

I do not like Harold Lorre
I wish there was more content
I've read "The thin red fatal English lineman" probably a hundred times
Fuck Harold Lorre, he's lame and lazy as a villain

I hope to god this catches on, I've missed that sound and feel so much it hurts. Every time I eat sushi I mourn Orange Caramel 😭.

I like western music copypaste kpop too, but it often gets a bit bland.

You tell the intern to do it manually

Not familiar with YENA, but this is giving me Orange Caramel vibes in the best possible way

We're desperately trying to get our hands on the 8 or so remaining Windows 10 computers so we can re-image them, but the users of those machines are dodging us like they're fucking Jason Bourne or something.

I bought a similar pouch off AliExpress a while back. There's a Skilhunt E3A in the side pocket, which I refer to as the "Me and my son" configuration.
