  • In the US the clawback itself is no longer legal if it is part of a severance agreement. They can’t take the money back if you talk about them

    FYI

    As is often the case, when a presidential administration changes, so may a prior rule issued by the National Labor Relation Boards (NLRB or the Board). On February 21, 2023, the Board returned to its pre-Trump administration rule: broad confidentiality and non-disparagement terms in severance agreements will be deemed unlawful if they tend to interfere with, restrain, or coerce an employee’s ability to speak about the severance agreement or otherwise communicate with other employees about their former employer. The prior Trump-era rulings allowed employers to include confidentiality and non-disparagement clauses in severance agreements, but the NLRB’s latest ruling in McLaren Macomb reverts to the old rule placing employers in an uncertain situation with their current and future severance agreements.





  • I was replying specifically in the context of the original question. Unraid already has their services tooling built out over containers so this person already is probably using containerized versions of the arr services. It would be overkill to go build vms for these services specifically for what you said. They don’t need to be windows or osx, they don’t need hardware passthrough, they don’t need a full kernel.

    That aside. You absolutely can run containers as a full isolated kernel and directly map hardware to them. CGroups absolutely allows for those use cases. You may not be using docker anymore but docker is more of a crutch for beginners who probably dont need those things.

    One example of this in the real world are COS and Bottlerocket which are literally distributions of Linux where even core is components are individually running under different containers via cgroups. COS runs on every GKE cluster in the world and bottlerocket on most EKS clusters.



  • I built my recommendation around the likelihood this person is already using docker and therefore already has containers that would be extremely easy to run without unraid. There would be less lift to use the same config files and volume mounting they are already using.

    Operationally though I would never run vms and containers in the same orchestrated system. Look at what they are asking to do. Why would you run sonarr as a container and radarr as a vm. Obviously they are going to end up just doing one or the other


  • I legitimately don’t understand the trendiness of proxmox given that vms are overkill compared to containers. If you are migrating from unraid you are likely already using the docker version of all your arr services so going and spinning up vms feels like a step backwards.

    You can either use the exact same containers and use systemd to run them as raw services or use something like docker compose or dozens of other tools to orchestrate them. I use k8s but can’t recommend it with a straight face after taking down VMs for being overkill (very different kinds of overkill but still)


  • There are an endless number of places where the speed limit data does not match the actual speed limit. My car has the speed limit wrong on hundreds of small back roads and even segments of highway. This encourages not actually paying attention to posted signs.

    Failing that, you can be going the speed limit and then the speed limit drops or increases by 15-30mph suddenly. Like highway ramps for example. Most people coast into the lower speed after the change or accelerate into the new speed in advance of the change. This would encourage hard breaking at extremely dangerous places or entering highways at incredibly unsafe low speeds.



  • It’s a duplex so the HOA only has two homes in it. The fees were designed to cover the water bill, master insurance policy, and slowly collect enough money to replace the roof every decade or two.

    Unfortunately the other unit has no interest in even basic maintenance so unless we take care of everything the place slowly just falls apart. We’ve had to fight with them over every tiny repair from siding damage to a literal hole in the roof that a squirrel chewed out. They keep running an Airbnb with loud guests who throw parties despite it being against the HOA and unless we pay for our own lawyer there’s no way to actually enact the fines and stuff as laid out in the HOA rules.

    We’re selling and never buying in a small HOA ever again




  • I had a loan like this one. Probably a plus loan. For a while the rates for plus loans eclipsed 8% and plus loans accrue interest while you are in school. So if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can take on 4 years of interest before you even start paying. Turns a $20k loan into a $30k loan before you even graduate. Plus loans recapitalize interest whenever they come out of deferral so you actually pay interest on the interest as well. So by the time you pay the loan off that is then $41k in total payments for what was originally a 20k loan

    Do this 4 times for each year of undergrad and you’ll have 164000 in total loan payments over your lifetime.

    Plus loans are a government backed scam to fuck over poor kids who can’t front the cash for what the federal aid program covers. My base grants were only ~40k over 4 years and my federal unsubsidized and subsidized loans only were ~24k over 4 years.

    Meanwhile the prestigious university I was accepted to charged 24k per semester. So I had 64k of aid and low interest loans to pay a tuition of 192k. After my work study added an additional 20k/yr I was still short 48k and poof there the plus loans were to “help” me.



  • This is something docker promised, but never delivered.

    It does. it does to this. That’s the docker image not the docker file. You are confusing the spec with the artifact. If you want reproducible dev envs you use a system like compose or any rad of other tools to launch images from your artifact store.

    It should not, but artifacts never had problem with mutating before we had docker. If you generate an rpm package and store it in an artifactory it always was the same exact package (unless someone overwrote it, lol)

    LOL. We always have this problem if you have people only using spec files and not the artifacts. You are comparing apples to oranges by comparing the dockerfile to a build rpm package. Let me help you:

    An rpm package == docker image
    An rpm .spec file == dockerfile

    You if you only give people spec files and have them rebuild the package you will get different hashes of the rpm file. Similarly you would likely not change your spec file between releases and know your rpm file is going to be different.


  • The dockerfile does not guarantee this, but the docker image or any OCI image does. Dockerfile should not be confused with the artifact. Operationally we usually expect a dockerfile to be identical across many builds of different releases and know the artifact produced will have different code

    Anything you are doing with nix to make the lock files perfect is the same amount of work you’d be doing to any method of producing an OCI artifact.

    I do think your approach is interesting though. Certainly less effort than manually packing an OCI with something like buildpaks or trying to run through bazel to get your way through a distroless build (two other methods that don’t make massive images with a Debian base). And obviously ‘From:scratch’ in docker build land is a nightmare.
