  • Proxmox or Incus can use ZFS, but i doubt you’d be able to directly move your container datasets from TrueNAS. You’d most likely have to rebuild the containers and/or move application configs/dbs. If you keep static data in datasets (your video media for instance), those will transfer over fine.

    Proxmox might be overkill especially if you’re not using high availability features. I only use it on one of my machines because switching is too much hassle, but every new system I set up uses Incus on top of regular Debian.

    For a big migration, you can use a cheap VPS for compute + Backblaze for a ton of cheap storage to help. For instance you could install TrueNAS on the VPS, move all your stuff over to the cloud temporarily, wipe your local hardware and install Incus, then move your containers back to your hardware. The other option is to do the opposite and set up the new environment in the cloud, then when its setup, wipe your local and move your new OS to on-prem.

    But yeah this would be a time/research investment, rather than the monetary investment of just upgrading your cards.







  • People like to talk, and often already debate real life things to a level that borderlines on tedium, but they enjoy it. Anyone who has been in a group of academics in a conversation are familiar with this.

    When it comes to fiction, I don’t look into it too deeply, but suspension of disbelief only goes so far. The logic of the work must make some kind of sense in the world that it takes place.

    • If there is a civilization underwater, did they evolve to have gills or do they stay inside oxygen filled bubbles?
    • If you can move objects with your mind, can be strengthen like a muscle and does it get tired out?

    And the most important:

    • If a character is evil, why are they that way? Lost sight of a lofty goal? Revenge for a past wrong? TBI?

    This is why I’m not a big fan of “magic” because it seems like a lazy way to explain a phenomenon in fiction.


  • Wtf is this question? How is “we can do it in groups” specifically a strength? You can also do science alone. Is this asking about some high school chemistry class?

    The question is never “should we do science” because the answer is always yes. The question should be “what knowledge can we gain from science”.

    Everyone knows when you drop an apple, it hits the ground. Science explores the reasoning for why it happens, and opens understanding for other fields that can apply the same principles like civil engineering, rocket science, space exploration, etc…
