  • I’ve two Mint VMs in Virtualbox. One hosts internal services and has critical data. The other is hosting services exposed to the internet and has no data of value.

    I think I can paravirtualize one of these VMs, I think using docker. I’d end up with a single image I could then easily migrate to physical hardware.

    Am I on the right track? I’ve no problem figuring out how. But, I’m not sure which means is best and why.

    You’ve obviously never fought a Canadian goose before, let alone a pair of them. We once went into a flock to feed some geese. We left the flock after we had fed them and this old goose came running after us and it was quaking. It couldn’t see.

    We went back there and they had spat up every piece of bread. It was in a pile. A pile of little pieces of bread. And I remember… I… I… I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget.

    And then I realized… like I was shot… like I was shot with a diamond… a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought, my God… the genius of that. The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they were stronger than we. Because they could stand that these were not monsters. These were geese… wild birds. These geese who fought with their hearts, who had families, who had children, who were filled with love… but they had the strength… the strength… to do that.

    If I had ten divisions of those geese, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have geese who are moral… and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling… without passion… without judgment… without judgment! Because it’s judgment that defeats dogs.

    This isn’t the default behavior of Win10 Pro without a DC. I don’t know enough about graceful shutdowns to have a perspective. Maybe Home has a different user presentation than Pro?

    Unrelated: I’m trying to get from two Virtualbox Mint VMs to one paravirtualized (docker?) image, then to move to physical hardware. When I’m ready, where in the fediverse should I ask for assistance?




  • It’s just another bullet point in a half century long problem.

    The FTC is an independent Federal anti-trust enforcement agency. After SCOTUS 1977 Continental TV v. GTE made the nuance of certain contact terms subjectively legal, allowing mergers likely in the interests of global competition, the FTC has been effectively neutered. The only significant action has been the breakup of the Bells in 1982 and some Microsoft anti-Netscape gibberish around 1999.

    The FTC has effectively lost every significant case it’s brought since about 1970. Consumers haven’t had any significant protections since 1982, more than forty years ago.



  • In the US a “wilderness” is a large area completely devoid of documented human infrastructure.

    Yellowstone’s publicly accessible areas have very well-developed infrastructure. The vast majority of the park is meant to be explored by vehicle on paved roads and by walking paved trails. But, even the dirt trails are so “well maintained” that they’re like a wide dirt sidewalk with an occasional root or rock. There’s non-public areas inside Yellowstone that are almost devoid of infrastructure and maintenance, almost wilderness.







  • It seems to me groups have people have been choosing a king to do their reasoning for them since the beginning of humanity. And, the application of computers to communications and profits has significantly raised the bar of adequacy for wise decisions while (US) educational efforts have been in decline for nearly a half century.

    How do we encourage the critical mass of free thinkers to break the current paradigm, let alone the ancient one?

    Sincerely, does anyone see some sort of plan here? I often feel like I’m shouting into the void for little more than dying with self-respect. Can we reason our way to revolt, already?
