This is actual reality. No-till is great until you have to till because of circumstances. Sometimes what happens needs to be dealt with; we've had years of heavy, heavy rain, and despite decades of no-till farming, it still can't absorb limitless water. That's when compaction happens, especially if you need to get crops off wet ground. So you deal with it, and start again building the soil back from tillage. You don't have to always haul out the 3-bottom plow, but even discing has a recovery period. But it's better than trying to seed into concrete.
And tillage can work well by bringing up nutrients. Some crops will do this themselves to an extent, or you can plant forage crops for a time that will bring up nutrients. But subsoiling to break deep compaction or simply bring up phosphorus or potassium from lower levels can breathe new life into a field.
We no-till farm thousands of acres in the middle of millions more acres of no-till grain farming. I don't think you have a clue what you're talking about.
Tilling comes in many different forms. The old plow is out nearly everywhere because it is so bad. Debending on local climate and soil some places farmers do some tilling others do none. There are lots of little companies scattered around the world that make a tillage tool for that local area that wouldn't be useful elsewhere if they tried to sell it.
The biggest difference in no-till is water infiltration and retention. The next is ability to work land earlier with equipment that would sink in tilled soil when wet. Another is less equipment passes, for fuel use as well as owning the equipment needed to do those passes.
On the con side, no-till trades diesel for spray costs.
Proxmox is just KVM/qemu with management modules running on Debian. I set up Plasma on a node for a while and used it for a workstation for a couple years, and it worked fine.
Cockpit is rudimentary and hardly worth the time. And as far as I can tell, there's very little interest in expanding it from the broader community, as the lack of plugins would seem to indicate.
I use it solely to give a webui for managing virtual machines on individual servers.
It hooks into libvirt for this, so I can also manage them via virsh et al, but it's a nice tool to set up the essentials of a VM and provide remote access to the VM console.
This sounds almost as hard as changing your email address on your Cursor account. I don't wish that experience on anyone. Anthropic is almost as bad, but at least they can be arsed to get back to you eventually.
For the uninitiated, both of them require you to make a new account, because apparently billion dollar corporations think a system that uses your email address as an immutable foreign key constraint is just fine.
Cursor won't let you bill out the outstanding API amount until the end of your subscription period, so you can cancel the account but it sits there able to be logged into and reactivated until your billing completes at the end of the billing interval. Getting a response to any sort of attempts to sort this out is pretty much yelling into the void. Really, your choice is to cancel the card if you get your email hacked.
At least Anthropic gets back to you and shuts it down manually, and I was even refunded my months subscription fees even though I didn't ask for it. But still a stupid, stupid way to change an email address.
CIBC cost me $5 and a bunch of time trying to reverse a mistake that left me stranded in the middle of nowhere when I was pretty young. In the intervening 30 year I've made it my mission whenever their name comes up to make sure nobody uses them for anything, even free kids accounts.
I've cost them tens of thousands of dollars because they couldn't do the decent thing and apologize.
Even for Openclaw, the response API is a better way to interact with it adhoc. I tell Cursor how to contact OC with a bearer key, and they work things out in the background when I'm building something for Openclaw.
