  • I have a suggestion.

    TLDR: High density, owned housing, professional management, restrictions on owning other properties.

    To avoid HOAs misusing funds, allow people to own, and build high density: build apartments for sale, to be managed by corporation. Corp is funded by reasonable fees set before construction as a percentage of value of property. Apartment owners can vote to fire incompetent managers, otherwise, managers are free to choose how to effectively run complex. Salary is fixed.

    To encourage a builder to take on the project, we have 20-50 people sign up to buy apartments. They have to put down a refundable deposit of $100 to get on the list, and $5000 to the builder (applies to down payment) when building starts.

    Deed restrictions, created before breaking ground, prohibit ownership of an apartment by:

    1. any corporation

    2. any individual that owns another home or is on a corp that owns rental properties (excludes REITs if shares owned is below 5% market cap)






  • I’ve got Proxmox running on a nvme mirror. Two HDDs are passed to Turnkey Linux mediaserver; they are mirrored with BTRFS and act as storage. I am satisfied with all (prox, turnkey, btrfs) and would recommend.

    I had one BTRFS drive fail, and replacing it with no experience took about an hour.

    I do wish there was better user documentation for WebDAVcgi, the WebDAV frontend in Turnkey linux mediaserver.

    mediaserver comes with Samba, so I use that to connect devices like phone or laptop to the server

    Turnkey’s mediaserver was my replacement for Openmediavault with Filebrowser plugin. Filebrowser creates an internal user to write files for anything uploaded via web interface, so if you mount the folder later via NFS, the permissions don’t match. Openmediavault would stall or crash a lot as a container and especially as a VM, but maybe it runs better on bare metal.


  • Context: Giuseppe Valditara, Education secretary, is a male, 64;

    Giorgia Meloni, Prime minister, is a female, 48. Pic related.

    She tabled the bill to continue limiting sex-ed.

    Opinion: Progress. Although killing your partner is not directly related to sex-ed, sex-ed is generally good. Students learn hygiene and STI prevention.

    I don’t study these curriculums, but the class I took didn’t mention homosexuals or gender roles. Gender id and transgender weren’t in pop culture, but I doubt it is included today.

    Edit: Sorry guys, I read the article poorly.

    Giorgia Latini, not Giorgia Meloni (prime minister), tabled the measure. It isn’t clear from the article if the measure was tabled before or after the Valditara’s amendment was approved. And Giorgia Meloni weighed in on gender theory, not necessarily sex ed.

    I can’t seem to determine from this article if sex education will be limited more or not, just that it is an issue for debate in Italy.




  • Here are some tips once you have chosen:

    You can change your desktop environment later.

    If you do your install with seperate partitions for /home and others, leave 10% unallocated. Also make /bin about 15gb and /boot about 1.5gb. When you eventually run out of space, you can use KDE Partition manager to add the unallocated space to the partition you need, even if you set up encryption (gparted doesn’t play well with encryption). You can install Partition manager as a package, you don’t need to use KDE Plasma.

    Using a drive mirror is a good idea. Maybe use it the second time you install.

    If you want to use a cool filesys like zfs, just use btrfs for now (licensing issues). Ext4 will also work for desktop user needs.

    If you go with Debian, you can add repos to your /etc/apt/sources.list file. But it is a one-way trip, so before adding sid, consider running your program in a vm. Non-free non-free-firmware and contrib are fine
