As a former homeowner who is now renting again after moving across the country, you lose a lot renting.

So many small and large details of my home I built for me that if I add to my apartment will only serve to let the landlord raise the rent later and/or evict me to find someone willing to pay more for my own additions.

It’s less about what you spend and more about freedom, control, and who benefits from caring for the property.

Also modern apartments are turning every aspect of living into add-on subscriptions. Pet rent, parking fee, ev charging fee, even gym fees are popping up now

Thank god some federal laws changed that blocked landlords from bundling specific cable and internet providers. That was horrible the first time we moved west and found that your building controlled what services you could even buy.

They didn’t have to accept delivery. I preordered a model 3 way back. I was so far down the list I was scheduled to receive delivery just after the cave diving submarine pedophile incident (6years ago in 2018). I cancelled my order and got a full refund on the deposit when he pulled that shit. Now I keep the signed thank you letter for preordering as a joke for parties

Given the cyber truck wasn’t even available for preorder until 2019, I have no sympathy for people claiming they didn’t know any better. Especially if their only excuse is not reading the preorder contract on something that costs nearly 100k and knowing they could cancel at any time.

I have actively pointed and laughed at multiple cyber trucks driving around San Diego this week. I have witnessed other people are doing the same. There’s an absurd number of them here, 3 parked on my street alone. One is wrapped in fucking fake gold leaf for fucks sake. How do you not openly laugh at these idiots

“I want to draw attention to myself”
“Wait not like that”

One example is allowing the construction of ADUs. Throwing a small apartment on top of a garage is an extremely common addition these days that requires minimal waste.

Similarly even without ADUs, many homes in my neighborhood just outside of Boston have been remodeled from single family 5 beds to 2/3 family condos without being completely demolished. This was largely made possible by eliminating rules and regulations like the parking requirements for houses near public transit and loosening restrictions on conversions themselves by reducing restrictions for setbacks and similar rules. My own home is a condo conversion and it’s the only reason we could afford to own here.

Yes, but Denmark is the only remaining country that has a rule that allows it forever. The other 5 are required to adopt it in a delayed schedule when they pass certain membership criteria.

It’s extremely unlikely the UK would be allowed to keep the pound if they rejoined as they already meet those criteria.

Hello fellow person who can’t wear Birkenstocks

The most striking in modern discussions is they were allowed to keep their own currency which is why it was so easy for them to leave. They did not have to use the euro and kept the British pound.

They technically were not required to be part of schengen in the original agreement and were allowed to have their own border policy

They paid a lower EU membership rebate compared to its wealth or population than other member countries.

They also had the ability to opt out of rights in the EU charter (which has never actually been exercised)

Boaty Mcboatface (2016) is slightly newer in the history of Reddit meming compared to “upvote this picture of foo so it shows up in google for bar”. Those go back as more than 11 years ago to when people were posting swasticas to make Office Depot look bad (2013) followed by the same meme being done to comcast 8 years ago also in 2016 which might be why you thought of boatface.

Oh wow. So surprised that a EV model not priced the same as a fucking Maserati is popular

Now we just need fucking sedans not made by Tesla

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.

Horizontal Territory Allocation is a common practice with Oligopolies with physical products (which the telephone wires and routing equipment they build to run the internet very much is).

Basically two or three massive companies simply don’t enter eachothers turf by unspoken agreement and they all get to benefit by not actually competing with eachother. They they can take turns raising prices in their own turf and know their customers have to physically move to get their “competitors” prices. As long as they never actually talk to eachother about doing it it is technically not illegal.

As for how they got the turf in the first place this mostly was small governments at the town and county level signing short term exclusivity agreements with a telco to run the initial infrastructure back in the 80s-90s when this was common. And many of these municipalities actively work against new telcos moving into the area long after those original agreements ended. You can always rile up some nimbys to bitch about construction noise at a small town hall and halt projects like this for decades. This is exactly how my hometown spent 8 years blocking fios in an area that only had dsl.

You tell a 40-50 something homeowner a three inch patch of their grass will be ripped up for just a week and they’ll drag their balls bare over fields of broken glass to show up to town hall week after week for 8 years to avoid it even if their isp quadruples prices in the same time frame.

Is the UK having a rural -> city migration like Japan and huge swaths of the US? Buildings from yesteryear in dying towns nowhere near any modern jobs still being counted as empty homes?

I don’t like my job at all but that doesn’t stop me from putting in maximum effort. I do it to steal skills and knowledge from them and take them to a new job.

You want to get more from your life and more from your employer? If you spend your entire workday doing the bare minimum, then you have to spend your free time building skills to get that. Fuck that, do it on their time.

100% a swinger house. I’d bet there’s an absurd number of bathrooms as well.

The first Incredibles movie was released two years before Pixar was bought by Disney

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 can break one container without breaking all of them? I can run them in isolated container networks and even isolated cgroups if I want to. Docker hides a lot of the core reasons tools like jails and chroot and eventually LXC were created but containers absolutely can do the things you are using vms for if you are willing to learn how they work
