Fuck that, let the new owners change it around. Let them build in material costs to their mortgage if they need to. Welcome to home ownership!
We sold our first house as is for 10k over asking, and it was flipped in two years. The new owners did a lot of reno on the place even though it didn’t need much. They replaced carpet and painted cabinets and natural woodwork and that’s it.
Had I put in the work of renovating before selling it would not have made a difference.

I was using Veeam when my stack was on VMware, but after moving to Proxmox I’ve been unable to get the Veeam agent working properly for VM recovery.
I tried Proxmox Backup at one point, and while it did work for base VM backup, the interface and capabilities of it just don’t stack up to Veeam in my opinion, and I’m more concerned about file backup than VM recovery as I can easily recreate anything in my stack through my documentation.
I’m actually glad you mentioned that because I do need to revisit it. The few times I did have to recover the VM from backup I was able to do so when my backup process was working, but I’ve thankfully not had any recovery situations in the past 2 or so years since moving to Proxmox. And recovery doesn’t help in situations where your cert is expired which is usually my issue historically.
As for past email recovery, Mailcow does have documentation on recovering from a failed server\database, but I consider my personal deployment volatile since I’m only using it for alerting and mostly internal only services.
I would fully switch over to it if I had more personal time, and if I knew I could make my family comfortable with accessing it. But right now I feel the risk is too great to move anything personally or financially important over. In the event something bad were to happen to me, I’m the only one with knowledge on how to recover the environment and I don’t need my family to take on that burden if I were to become incapacitated or forbid, pass away suddenly.

Mailcow internal on Debian VM. SMTP2Go free external relay.
Have had the occasional issue after an upgrade or reboot can’t find my LetsEncrypt cert and will bork the system until I manually fix it. Perhaps my latest script update finally resolved that.
Otherwise, not that bad. Been running my own email for about 5 years or so. I don’t sign up for many outside services with it. It’s mainly for internal alerting or testing purposes but still works very well.
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 2 weeks ago:
The only BNPL service I ever use is PayPal. The math shows no interest and it will literally take out 1\4 of the total cost over a two month period which works great for me as I’m paid no weekly. Any other BNPL service is stupid because of the extra credit cost your paying on top of your carts price.
- Comment on Health Secretary Kennedy says there's 'not sufficient' proof to show Tylenol causes autism 1 month ago:
Tylenol told him they’d sue his pants off is likely what happened here. It’s only a US brand of a more generic aspirin after all. So which is it, the generic drug, or the brand name that causes autism? Surely can’t be both in this case.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 2 months ago:
I’m still confused on the sentence “re-imagining is exactly the right term”, because to me imagination is fluid and ever changing, but they said this term means the story has not changed.
I would expect remaster to be the proper term here, but I’ve not played the original or seen this iteration so I’m not sure what to think.

AMD is apparently king now, and Intel has had some pretty big snafus in recent years. Personally I see them as interchangable.

I’ve never heard of that manufacturer for power supplies. The first search on them is a PSA to not get them with many comments that they don’t work. I would go for an MSI or EVGA PSU instead. Everything else looks good.

I gotcha. And completely agree with Tunic as well. Unlocking the in game manual to learn more about the game around you was an amazing discovery. I actually bought the physical manual to it which was also made with great quality.

I grew up in the NES era but could never get into this game. Was just a bit too young for it but damn your comment makes me want to give it the college try now. We had the NES version of Maniac Mansion that I also spent many hours trying to solve but was just too young for it too. Platformers were my jam though. MegaMan 1-6, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, ect.
As for Metal Gear, I loved the PS1 version and based on your description seems the closest to the original of the “newer” titles. I was very disappointed with MGS2 but enjoyed MGS3s story. Never gave 4 or 5 a chance though because of the same reasons you mention. It became way too campy.

- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 7 months ago:
I bought a WiiU refurbished directly from Nintendo shortly before the Switch came out. I did it purely because the first big hax was released and I was able to easily port my GC\Wii hacked HDD to it AND also have WiiU games hacked games available. WW and TWP were also a big part of that purchase decision for me.
I got a Switch and BotW ultimate CE on release, but will be skipping the S2 for some time. Likely until the next Zelda comes out if the Steam Deck can’t easily emulate other S2 titles by that time. I’m bummed I’ll be missing the new DK game (only 10GB file size though so not very big) and Hyrule Warriors game as the last one was amazing, but it’s a basic beat em up so no love really lost there.

FOR NOW… My wife had to have them every year from 21-23, then every three years until she was 29. Then 5 years which she’s approaching now. If you have a medical history of needing them, you will likely need them again at some point.

If you reread my comment, I mentioned the movie was made BEFORE everyone expected tips like they do TODAY. I was a server in the 2000s myself and today there are tips asked at every register, sports games or entertainment show concession stands for example.

A little trivia about this monologue: Quinton Tarantino wrote this in the movie as it is his own opinion, but didn’t want his own character to say it for fear of backlash at the time. Remember this movie was made before everyone was expecting a tip like they do today.
