    I really like my Model 3 but I hate the association with Musk, I was considering buying it at the end of the lease but I'm having second thoughts. Yes, I know I've already lined his pockets in a small way!!

    I haven't experienced the poor build quality, in the 2.5 years I've had it I've not had any issues and only 1 recall for an o-ring replacement on a gas strut.

    Tesla needs to be rescued from Musk by one of the established car manufacturers, my vote would be for Mercedes.

    Hi, thanks for your reply.

    Lets call the original Proxmox container CT1 and this has the *arrs Dockers that can access and interact with the NFS share on TrueNAS

    Lets call the new Proxmox container CT2 and this is the one giving me the can't access error

    Lets call the cloned Proxmox container CT1Clone, this one can access the NFS share.

    I think the NFS share is not restricted to any IP address, this is a screenshot of the NFS permissions. https://i.imgur.com/9k5jnw4.png I can also access if from my Windows machine that also has a different IP address.

    CT1 & CT1Clone work fine, CT2 doesn't work.

    [SOLVED] Help With NFS Share To Proxmox Container

    *****EDIT***** I found the issue, it was me!! LOL I thought it had to be a setting I had forgotten and it was, I forgot to enable NFS & Nesting under Features in the Otions of the cotainer, see this image - https://imgur.com/bSiozKS Thank you to everyone that took the time to reply and offer their suggestions. Hi All, Let me start with some basic basic background on my set up, I have a server running Proxmox with some Ubuntu containers. I have a separate server running TrueNas with a share that has both NFS & SMB set up. I can see this share in Windows 11 and read and write to it. One of the Ubuntu containers is able to see this share via NFS and read and write to it too. I am testing Sonarr, Prowlarr & Qbittorrent Docker containers and got the basics set up, Sonarr can find episodes via Prowlarr of a TV show, hand it off to Qbittorrent to download and then move it from the download folder to the TV folder. Both the download folder and the TV folder are on the TrueNas server. I then set up a Docker container for AudioBookShelf in the same Ubuntu CT and that can also read and write to the NFS share. My issue is that I tried to set up another Ubuntu CT on the Proxmox server but cannot seem to access the NFS share on the TrueNas server. This is what I did (which I think was the same process as the working CT) - 1/Create a privileged conatiner - 2/ Update and upgrade the CT - 3/ Install nfs-common - 4/ Create a directory in the CT in the /mnt directory for the NFS share - 5/ added this line to the fstab file in /etc `192.168.0.188:/mnt/store/test-share /mnt/test-share nfs defaults 0 0` However, when I run `mount -a` I get this error message `mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.188:/mnt/store/test-share` Running `df -h` does not show the mount obviously but it does in the working CT As a further test, I cloned the working CT, deleted all the Docker containers and I can still see the NFS just fine. I have probably missed a step while setting up the new CT but I'm not sure what. Can anyone offer some help?

    I don't know where you're from, but in the UK, interest rates have been rising every month for the last 13 months and for some people that are having to remortgage their payments are tripling in price overnight! I was on a tracker mortgage and has slowly risen from £300 per month to over £800 per month. So, tell me again how mortgages don't go up every year.

    nostupidquestions No Stupid Questions Which lane would you use at this roundabout?
    Jump
  • SonyJunkie SonyJunkie 1 year ago 100%

    It depends on how busy the roundabout is.

    If it's really busy and there is a possibility of traffic backing up on either of the the two exits before the one you want to take then I'd be in the righthand lane on approach and move to the lefthand lane as soon as I'm past the second exit, getting in the lane marked A610 going under the bridge. This way you avoid possibly getting caught in slow moving traffic and adding to the back up.

    If the roundabout isn't that busy then using the lefthand lane on approach would be fine and just staying in the lefthand lane all the way.

    Roundabouts need to be as free flowing as possible, so use whichever lane is going to keep the traffic moving best.

    I use a roundabout everyday that crosses a motorway and the traffic joining the motorway always backs up the slip road on to the roundabout at rush hour. Often people wanting to go "straight" over the roundabout get in the lefthand lane on approach and then get stuck in the backed up traffic which just adds to the congestion. I tend to approach in the righthand lane and move to the left once past the motorway exit. I've noticed that people tend to leave a gap for the traffic in the righthand lane to go through but will block the lefthand lane just in case someone sneaks in front of them!! LOL

    Hi @ubergeek77@lemmy.ubergeek77.chat

    I must be doing something wrong here because unlike many others I can't seem to get this working! Please can you offer some advice?

    I have amended the config.env file to change the HOSTNAME, SITE NAME and ADMIN USER but left everything else the same.

    I then ran ./deploy.sh and everything seems to have worked because it presented me with the admin login credentials and basic instructions to shutdown and start the instance. I tried simply typing the IP address of the docker container in to a browser but that didn't work and TBH I didn't expect it to. I then typed the URL into the browser and I'm getting a "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" error message. I read through the trouble shooting on your Github but the only reference to too many redirects mentions a Cloudflare API token, I'm not using Cloudflare nut I am using nginx proxy manager to point my URL to the docker container.

    I hope some of this makes sense.

    I don't watch either qualifying or the race live, more often on a several hour delay. So I absolutely hate those posts that have the results as a picture because it's all too easy to accidentally see the results while scrolling through a feed.

    I would much prefer that the post title be something like "British GP Race Results" and then the results in the first comment, not the body of the opening post, that way I can scroll through my feed and not accidentally see the results while leaving people who know the results to discuss the subject.

    Anyway, that's my 2 pence worth!

    Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1. Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he's not on form lately? It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times. Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?

    They're bringing all of the equipment to Europe for two races, then packing it all up and going to Canada, and then bringing it all back. It just doesn't seem logical to me 🤷‍♂️

    Sentry Mode & Cabin Overheat Protection

    Hi All, I have a 2022 Model 3 that I absolutely love! but there are a couple of things that I don't fully understand. 1/ Sentry Mode - when I first got the car 15 months ago, I would have a fair few sentry mode notifications/recordings when I returned to the car after it had been parked up away from home, i.e. at work, in a car park, etc. but in the last few months I've had hardly any, maybe 2 in 6 months!! 2/ Cabin Overheat Protection - last week I was away on holiday for a week and left it parked in an open air car park at the airport for the 8 days I was away. When I parked I had 91% battery so I left sentry mode on so that I could see how much was used. I checked the app a few times while I was away and nearly everyday the cabin temperature was 48-53 degrees C, with an external temp of 26-29 degrees C (it has been very warm here in the UK last week). But as far as I can tell the C.O.P. didn't kick in even though it is on and set to 40 degrees C. I don't subscribe to premium connectivity if that makes any difference. Does anyone have any ideas? TIA
