  • Its probably a parent company situation.

    Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

    The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

    Capitalism baby!





  • I mean if someone can conceive it then yes.

    Personally I do think there will always be a “class” of some sort since even among career and financial equals I still view colleagues as a different class of human.

    Like I’m a camp in the woods kinda human where my coworker is a take his car to a race track kinda human.

    But that’s never the class that is being discussed.

    A classless society is specifically one where someone doesn’t have power over you by some financial measure. A true meritocracy as there is no financial incentive to be in those roles since it is also a moneyless society.

    Utopian? Maybe. Conceivable? Yeah I can conceive what that would be like and I want to strive for it.

    Maybe its not important if its possible and its just important that there are people willing to work towards it or implement something like it in their own controllable way.






  • It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

    You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

    My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

    It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

    The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.
