  • I know not everyone has this option, but we recently switched to a local pharmacy. It’s awesome. Scripts are always ready. Never a line. The pharmacist actually comes over and talks about side effects.

    I picked up multiple prescriptions for my wife over a period of a week for some shit she was going through and they actually went as far as asking if she’s going ok.

    Flu and COVID vaccines are walk-in, no appointment, and you can choose between Moderna and Pfizer.

    Compared to the chains around me it’s amazingly better. Worth the extra few minutes in the car.




  • This is the main reason I cancelled Prime. They started advertising “More than just free shipping”, and I realized that I only used it for free shipping, and as Prime got more and more expensive I wasn’t getting any value from it.

    Now I just put stuff in my cart until I have $35 worth of stuff, and get free shipping anyway. It’s not that much slower. An extra day or two usually, and it doesn’t bother me one bit. I can wait a little while for my $10 guitar strap and it’s not the end of the world.









  • I use zfs with Proxmox. I have it as a bind mount to Turnkey Fileserver (a default lxc template).

    I access everything through NFS (via turnkey Fileserver). Even other VMs just get the NFS added to the fstab file. File transfers happen extremely fast VM to VM, even though it’s “network” storage.

    This gives me the benefits of zfs, and NFS handles the “what if’s”, like what if two VMs access the same file at the same time. I don’t know exactly what NFS does in that case, but I haven’t run into any problems in the past 5+ years.

    Another thing that comes to mind is you should make turnkey Fileserver a privileged container, so that file ownership is done through the default user (1000 if I remember correctly). Unprivileged uses wonky UIDs which requires some magic config which you can find in the docs. It works either way, but I chose the privileged route. Others will have different opinions.
