The folding at home folks have been going for a very long time now and that’s contributed a lot to various fields of medicine over the years.

Given you essentially made no money of this would you stick with crypto if you did this again or go with a more altruistic project such as folding@home as that would provide essentially the same heating effect?

I mean since the advent of SSDs I’ve not found the boot times of computers to be all that slow and I typically quite like coming back to a clean desktop on a new day rather than having junk from yesterday being thrown at me.

Ah yeah I forgot about hybrid sleep as I turned if off years ago and forgot it existed. Such a nonsense feature.

The main thing I’m learning from this thread is that a surprising number of people don’t shut their machines down when they’re done using them. Which is wild to me.

Can you mount SMB shares in unprivliged containers? I thought that was blocked.

Can the host itself write to the file share? You can check this by trying to create a file in it via the host’s shell. If it can’t write to it the container won’t be able to either.

I mean Hinckley is out of jail now maybe he could try and win her affections again?

I find mine useful as both a learning process and as a thing need. I don’t like using cloud services where possible so I can set things up to replace having to rely on those such as next loud for storage, plex and some *arr servers for media etc. And I think once you put the hardware and power costs vs what I’d pay for all the subs (particularly cloud storage costs) it comes out cheaper at least with hardware I’m using.
