Love takes many forms. Caring for someone without the expectation of a benefit you want is a form of love. If my wife came down with MS and we could no longer have sex, I would still love her, respect her and admire the mother and life partner that she is. I would also be upset that I couldn’t have sex any more.

I personally would try to figure out the following, with or without professional help:

• Why is she depressed? She is going through a lot. She is probably scared you are going to abandon her when she needs someone the most. She may also hate the situation that you are in because of her illness. She is also probably angry at the world that she has to suffer this. She is also probably worried for her child and feels guilty that she can’t give her more. There are so many feelings she has to process, it may be easier to just shut down.
• If you remove the expectations of sex with her, would you be willing to stay with her as a caring and respectful partner and mother to your child?
• You might explore non-monogamy. That’s going to be a complicated conversation, but maybe something your wife is willing to explore. Just ensure it takes into consideration all the issues in the first point.

A good mother and partner is so hard to find. Love can take many forms. Don’t feel limited in your choices if you can make other options work out.

I’ve been looking at this for a bit: https://a.co/d/2FMhmIY

I haven’t checked any reviews, but it might be something to look into.

One of the reasons I didn’t want Hillary was to avoid more dynasties (Bush, Clinton). We need need political families keeping power to themselves.

Not OP, but I use this download manager. It has been good.

When I was in your shoes about 8 months ago, I opted for Proxmox and don’t regret it. Since then, I’ve been able to try different NAS OSs, experiment with different hosted services, etc. it gives you a lot of freedom to set up a VM, try a bunch of stuff, and then delete it and implement a fresh solution when you’re satisfied with something.

If you do that, you might consider having the operating system and VMs on one disk. If you decide on NAS software, many pass through the storage drives to the NAS directly.

I’m probably going to end up with the following:

• Base Proxmox
• NAS VM - OMV with NFS shares available to other services, SMB for the network
• VM for -arr services
• Plex on an LXC - a script helped me set the up
• (Maybe) VM for home assistant
• VM for other home services I need, like Immich
• Maybe a VM for hosting things publicly
• Testing VM

I hope this is helpful!

This reminds me of another factoid - most people never write in their dreams. I wonder if there is a relationship.

For me, pros are:

• Fun to learn something new
• Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
• I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
• Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.

Cons

• Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
• As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
• With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
• I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.

Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, bought one!

I volunteered at the occupy wall street camp in New York. Fun times.

Any way to power the drives if you don’t have any more free power cables? Just have to buy a new PSU?

Marcus Aurelius was helpful to me - don’t be sad about the things you’ve lost, be grateful about what you’ve gained. He was specifically talking about the loss of a child. Some people are angry at God because he took away their child to soon. We should be grateful for even the short amount of time we had with that child. I have been able to apply it to so many other situations as well. Just living in constant gratitude can make your life so much better.

Fucking genocide Joe.

Exactly, you have people protesting a genocide, and then there are students carrying the flag of the genocidal nation to provoke the protestors. To me, I would probably treat it as a white supremacist carrying a Nazi flag to a George Floyd protest.

I agree with the other poster, this article is revolting in it’s one-sided treatment of the issue.

I think you can agree that we can support a group that is suffering from genocide to fight back and it isn’t necessarily antisemitic. Of course, there may be antisemitism from some sectors, but Israel conflates criticism and antisemitism all the time. As a result, at this point, I don’t think it is a big concern. Allowing the protestors to fight against a genocidal nation is the more important issue.

Good on the faculty.

We can continue to see Israel’s playbook here. Any criticism of their despicable actions (was genocide ever mentioned in the article?) gets converted to antisemitism.

I hope the protestors keep it up. Force the media outlets to say the word genocide. Don’t let them ignore what’s going on with the Palestinians.

Call it the the genocidal problem. The issues isn’t with Jews in general, just people who are carrying out and supporting the genocide. I would lump Biden in with them as well.

I thought one of the best lessons was that you don’t deal with an aggressive and genocidal nation through appeasement.

We should be fighting against Israel, not appeasing them.

He said…

I think that is the point. So far Biden has apparently just said a bunch of words. Biden could actually do more than he is now. Instead, the genocide is continuing unabated, Israel continues to aggressively and wrecklessly escalate the regional tensions.

Come on genocide Joe, actually draw a red line and stick to it.

I would hold my nose to vote for Biden if my vote really counted, but I will still call him genocide Joe. If he continues down this path, I hope he is forever known as Genocide Joe. Let history know it.

This was also a great leaning experience for the US and the other participants. With Ukraine’s experience against the Russian invasion, we’re seeing how drones are completely changing military strategy. Strategists all over the world are probably reviewing this “battle” to learn as much as they can to later apply it to both offensive and defensive weapons.
