  • The only time that might work is if it's a nice, expensive and well kept car. But then with that I doubt you're too worried about being harassed in the first place.

  • Lol, no it doesn't and no don't do this. Especially don't do it on a "ghetto" looking van. This will make you even more of a target.

    This moron has a PD sticker thinking we'll leave him alone. Obviously he's up to something.

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • Now this is something I’m interested in! I think I’m going to pick up that 3040 to set up and play around with since it’s so cheap. The i5-6500 should handle it well enough, right?

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • Never mind. I see now that Proxmox is a type 1 hypervisor now.

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive
  • To be completely honest, I’m familiar enough with all of this to get myself in trouble and work my way back out of it and that’s about it.

    I was only trying to get away from the VM because if I’m away and the PiHole craps out, I can tell my wife “hold down the power button and reset the 3040” as opposed to trying to walk her through the VM setups.

    I’ve got Windows set up to log back in upon reboots (Windows updates and whatnot), then start up Plex, arrs, etc. But I couldn’t get the VMWare VM to turn on automatically.

    What prompted all of this was the 8 GB SD filling to 100% and freezing up my PiHole, blocking internet access due to the DNS server being down.

    So… I was trying to knock out both of those issues with the separate - PiHole and wife, restarts and VMs.

    But you’re saying I can get Proxmox running on the 3070 I already have (i5-9500T, 32 GB RAM, W11 Pro) and have it auto start and run everything?

  • Help with moving a Linux VMware vm to Optiplex boot drive

    I’ve done a little bit of searching but everything that comes up is about moving vm to vm hosts. I am currently running PiHole and Tailscale on a Pi Zero W 1.1 but it’s hammering the CPU (I assume Tailscale). I also have an always-on Windows Optiplex 3070 that’s running HomeAssistant on a VMWare vm. I found a $65 Optiplex 3040 that I’m planning to install Linux on and merge the Zero W and the VM to the Linux box but would like some guidance on whether it’s possible to move the VM to a boot drive. I’m not too concerned about losing the PiHole setup. I just wiped everything and started fresh yesterday (in an attempt to solve the CPU issue).

    A Texas company is suing Chicago after the city began penalizing buses that drop off migrants
  • Ah, that makes sense then as these would certainly also be prosecutable under federal law as they are crossing state lines.

  • Lol, no he's making that up. Kidnapping does not have a 24 hour requirement. A person doesn't even need to be moved to be guilty of kidnaping: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.20.htm

    To be fair, I only use about 6 of those buttons, haha.

  • People Are Losing It Over Footage Showing Rudy Giuliani Walking Into A Bail Bond Joint After Being Arraigned
  • Sorry, that was worded very poorly on my part. I don't even know what I was trying to say there but it should be "as long as you show up for your court date." I think I forgot what I was typing out halfway through that sentence, hahaha.

    Edit: I just figured out what happened. That was meant to be a continuation from the first sentence, not a separate thought. Rearranged and commas added for clarity: You don’t get your $300 back, you don’t get hunted down by a bounty hunter, and you don’t get additional charges for skipping out when you show up on your court date(s).

  • People Are Losing It Over Footage Showing Rudy Giuliani Walking Into A Bail Bond Joint After Being Arraigned
  • I haven’t seen bonds work like that (but I don’t doubt some do). The way they work around me is:

    1. You get a bond for $2000
    2. You go to a bail bondsman and give them the paperwork
    3. You pay 15% of your bond to them ($300 in this case)
    4. That’s it. They keep your $300 and they post your $2000 bail. You don’t get your $300 back when you go to court. But you also don’t get hunted down by a bounty hunter and you don’t get additional charges for skipping as long as you show up for your court date.

    edit: my brain stopped working on point 4 as pointed out by @Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world
