  • I think it’s psychology. When people make politics or certain stances their entire personality, then by disproving those items it’s literally tearing apart their own identity. They are so unable to actually confront this that their brains will believe wild crazy ideas like conspiracy theories because even if it’s insane, they are able to keep their worldview.

    Their minds have been so warped to protect their identity that they will believe whatever they need to to be able to keep these views - to the point where it must be true, because if it weren’t true the house of cards would collapse. So when you are arguing with them, you’re not actually going to ever be able to penetrate this, because they will build up whatever they need to in their mind to protect it.

    An interesting way to think of this (to borrow from the video below), is that as if becomes it is. Feelings become facts.

    Take gay marriage. To a conservative white christian, it means nothing to them logically. 2 separate people are getting married which in no way effects them. However, gay marriage makes them feel as if their straight marriage is less important and the meaning of it has been deluded. To protect this worldview, since it’s impossible for any fact or reasoning to back up their worldview, that as if becomes it is. To them, now gay marriage is diluting their straight marriage and it is less important. It must be. It has to be. If it’s not… then what is their worldview? Their entire personality, their identity is based around these core beliefs. If it’s not actually affecting them… then what is their identity? So their view isn’t based on fact at all, and thus no amount of facts will ever persuade them.

    Philosophy Tube did a great video essay on this, and I think it’s completely worth a watch.

    I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

    My recommendations:

    • No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

    • Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

    • Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

    • Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.
