And now you get the bad ending
  • Kinda the same with Dishonored. I finished the entire game and wondered why I didn't get the non-lethal award.

    Turns out that the tutorial that specifically told me to kill 2 guards in the beginning of the game counted.

    What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?
  • Reminds me of my art professor's story about getting her doctorate, in which a bunch of tenured professors came together to review her work to give her the degree. One professor disagreed with giving her doctorate because apparently she didn't look like she had a tough time getting it. That sent my art professor over the edge because she'd worked so hard and suffered so much for it so she started crying in front of the professors and told them she wasn't going to bother getting her doctorate anymore and that she was quitting right there and then. The other tenured professors were quick to convince the other to change their mind and eventually gave the degree, but my art professor still remembers how shitty it was to decide something so important to her on the basis that she suffered much less than her peers in producing something good or better work.

  • Hello. I wanted to know if it was possible to get a VMWare guest VM that's acting as my self-hosted streaming server to be accessible by other devices outside my host pc?

    I know it would be able to if I just set it to a bridged network connection, but I also want it to strictly only have access to the internet through my host pc that would also be using a VPN, which is why I want to leave it on NAT.

    Basically, I want all my local network devices on my router to be able to access a guest VM on my PC that is only able to access the internet through the host PC.

    I'm using VMWare workstation Pro, with an Ubuntu guest VM that has Jellyfin, Plex, Jackett, and etc. for streaming media.

  • I believe I read before that rescue breaths are no longer strictly necessary and that chest compressions should be the priority when conducting CPR?

    Good news if performing it on a giraffe, then.

    Need advice for a newbie on building a homelab
  • I just looked up what zfs is and I don't think I need to go with that for now since I'm only testing at the moment.

    I was finally able to set up vCenter with two ESXi VMs after enabling nested virtualization. I'm out of RAM now just running those and a Windows 10 VM, even after adjusting the initial RAM settings lower. I was hoping to add some more VMs and a domain controller, but I think I might have to get more RAM than 32gb right now.

  • That's a good idea. Too bad I've recently just built my current PC and won't upgrade for another 5-6 years, though. I've also passed down my old one to my sibling.

  • Oh, I was just trying to copy what they have at my workplace, since it would be better if I was familiar with it. And it did work out great since I was able to fix a bug and complete a task that they had for a while thanks to setting up a VM of Windows Server DC and fiddling around with it and RHEL.

    Is hosting on a Windows machine not ideal? Don't really have much experience with other OS to make a good assessment.

  • So if my PC had 32gb of RAM, I should be fine with running VMware vSphere, Windows Server 2016 AD DC, and some Linux VMs that could run other tools like system monitors and such on it together? At least for just practice and not really running them 24/7 like an actual server would?

  • Electricity isn't cheap at all here and I do live in a small apartment, unfortunately. It's why I want to know if just making some changes to my main desktop PC would be better, as that would allow me to save on space, electricity, and heat.

    I do have two Rasperry Pis right now. One of them I run Pihole on at the moment.

  • Need advice for a newbie on building a homelab

    I'm pretty much new to all things homelab as I've only started looking into it because of my job. I'm relatively new to my position (first job I got after getting my degree), so I wanted to learn more about virtualization and other related tools that could help me.

    I want to practice using VMs and such. VMware vCenter, ESXi, PowershellCLI, Microsoft Windows Servers, RHEL, and others. And while my work does provide me a remote production environment for these, it's not always available to me. A lot of other people work on them and I can't really just go in and start messing around.

    So I've been looking into getting a homelab setup for myself. I'm just not really sure what I should be going for, though. Do I get a Dell Poweredge Rxx0? I do have a PC of my own that I've been using with Hyper-V and VMware Workstation to create VMs of what I mentioned, but I dunno if I should just get a dedicated server or not? Should I just upgrade my RAM and add in some SSDs on my PC and would that work fine for me?

    What are some examples of your tastes changing as you got older?
  • It's just something I never grew out of. I need it to soften and enhance the taste of whatever I'm eating, mostly meat or fried dishes. If I don't put it on the stuff I usually eat, then eating food feels like a chore and tastes kind of bland.

    Not that I put it on everything I eat. Just that I use it on a lot of the stuff I eat.

    What are some examples of your tastes changing as you got older?
  • Pineapple on pizza. I used to hate it as a child since the fruity taste seemed weird on it. After a deep introspection, I came to accept that it's still food and the taste ended up growing on me.

    Oh, but I still put ketchup on pizza, with pineapples or whatever on it.
