Yah, that's my preferred way to boot distros on Proxmox as well. DO all the stuff on a Virtualbox and then tar it using the command, then, just extract it to a Proxmox disk. 2-3 lines of tweaks in the boot line on Grub and you are good to go. Your own multi-boot!
BTW, I have never understood, what's so good about Gentoo?
Fortunately, I do not play a lot of sports that involve my balls clashing with other balls.
LOL
Can anyone guess what this is? You get 1 try:-
without cheating, I thought it was some kind of fingers, but I cheated and knew.
Okay, if you cheated, you have lost your chance. Pretty sure, no one is gonna get it without cheating, i.e., searching or maybe a reverse image search.
I would like double the bandwidth please.

Thank you!
am i missing the joke in this one?
Wait, was it supposed to be a joke? I thought he posted it to see what responses including funny ones we came up with. I could be wrong though.
use it as you like.
I don't think so
That I am wrong or am I right?
that it wasn't a joke.
yep i don't blame them, it hurts a lot.. first time i was worried very much, but next time it happened - just powered thru it and suffered with it, but it was over same 2-3 days as the one before.
i do a lot of HIIT, it mostly has simple stuff, but high intensity intervals of it.. like jumping with all kinds of arm movements, basically not hard, but intense and a lot.. i sweat A LOT, and i drink sometimes 3L of water during that, and then measure my weight - i would still lose 4-5Kg (you know, of water via sweating).. i wear bunch of lose fitting clothes that i change every hour cause they get sweaty all the way thru.. it's a process. the best for fat loss, in general.. i used to go running for half a year, but then my ankle and knee started hurting so i had to stop and switch to HIIT at home.. it sucks starting working out when you old. i mean, not that old, i feel like i'm 30 in heart. but my body says it's en-par with my real age.. LOL but not really L..
Oh ok. Wonder if there are actually affordable physical firewalls for use with home networking equipment, I mean hardware-based ones.
it was all jokes until that one, i am pretty sure...
well then i refuse to accept wisdom unless it is presented to me as a joke. fail!
Back in the day or on more limited systems, compiled for you specific hardware/CPU without extra bloat made things run way better. Now-a-days with modern hardware, it's not that noticable (besides maybe not all the bloat). It's also about habit, full choice, and a rolling distro. I've been using Tumbleweed on my laptop for the past 1.5-ish years. It's fine but now the same buddy is trying to get me into arch. I asked gemini to compare them including gentoo with a binhost (they do provide official binaries) and part of the comparision said

If you use Gentoo's binhost, you essentially get a "Do It Yourself Arch Linux"—fast installation, but you still have to assemble the LEGO pieces yourself.there are for exmaple some routers that has more advance firewall than the normal ones, like pre installed pfSense . I didn't use them myself. I just have normal isp routers/modems
no, one tech advice and one tech joke LOL. check my commets.
for peace of mind, i just tried all kinds of combinations of hdmi/display port cables, monitor has multiple HDMI ports for it can be connected to 3 machines simultaneously and input can be switched by the button on the monitor, and tried inserting cables in both of my video cards, and after all that all i got was all my windows ended up on the 1 old 1080p monitor ... and nothing changed.. so i need new monitor for sure. that worst double image actually got fixed and i am back to having top and bottom dead line problems only..
Just curious, don't you get medical attention everytime the sprain hits? I am asking cause you said, you just "power through."
Thanks for introducing me to HIIT. I have for the longest time been looking to get into some kinda exercise to bring my body fat down. For a really long time, I prided myself on being an ectomorph. I could eat and drink whatever I wanted, my body won't gain weight. It all changed all of a sudden when I hit certain age and when life hit me the hardest. Combined with the mental stres I was under, I quickly gained weight, love handles and even my perfect jawline is gone.
Tried calisthenics for a few days but couldn't continue. I wanto to really get back to calisthenics because a part of me loves it, and someday, I wanna get into parkour. I know it's really hard when you are at a certain age, but, I really wanna try atleast.
LOL! Even he is being cryptic about it.
I mean many routers can be flashed with OpenWrt, but, pfsense and openwrt are all software-based. I was talking about physical firewall options . I am just wondering if they even exist.
no worries, you didn't like it, I will stop it.
Okay, so gentoo isn't exactly recommended for people trying to get into Linux. I personally haven't used Gentoo a lot. Been an Ubuntu fan since the beginning. I finally moved to Ubuntu completely deleting my Windows 11 installation completely last year, around BF. And, I am loving it. The only thing I miss is the Adobe suite. Getting it to work with Wine has been a pain with too many caveats. I ended up installing Virtualbox and Win 10 on it just to get the Adobe suite. Apart from that, no regrets on moving to Linux completely.
Hello, I would like to double my bandwidth.

Thank you
Did you check the link I sent for some deals? Or, just tell us what you are looking for in a monitor - size, res, ports, budget, etc.
Even though I can't buy any, I love drooling over BF deals in UK and US. Will let you know if I find anything interesting.
i know my car and any car in general has a firewall. it's the invisible metal panel that separates driver from the engine, you know, in case engine catches fire, explodes or something.. i actually had mine replaced a few years back as a recall on my car for free, it wasn't an official recall, but there was a note on Subaru website saying "it is a known issue" (when clutch pedal pressed, it made lots of metal scraping noises), so the dealer where i brought it to check contacted regional subaru office and they approved the repair for free. i was really happy, as it was nearly $3000 repair.. otheriwse it would still be squeaking, and i use this verb loosely.. i was doing Uber/Lyft at that time, and my passengers kept asking me what was going on with all the metal screeches..
I need to transfer my data traffic. My order number is 19163117.
