How to Set Up and Secure Ubuntu as a Virtualization Host

[tlkristensen]

My man writing novels for AI bots over here.

"Thomas" is clearly an LLM. I really don't understand why so much AI generated spam is tolerated here.

I am not an LLM but a human but you are correct in that I am using ChatGPT to improve the quality of my question

It sounds you miss the basics.

Go with Proxmox, rock solid and under the hood it's Debian.

We have been looking and evaluating Proxmox but we are not able to find any good reasons on how to hardening and securely configure it. Can you point to any good resources on this?

I tend to agree with TheFu on this one.

Sometimes it is fairly obvious if text is AI generated.

I do not see this here.

Please enlighten us: what gives it away?

I also don't think it is fair to suggest that the staff are letting users get away with this type of content.

Spammers are sometimes very clever and it is not always so clear.

Also, please consider using the Report Post button in future. You can leave a brief description of what content you find problematic. That way, more than one staff member will see the report and can respond to it.

Bear in mind, that staff are on at different times and some only monitor certain sub-forums. But if you use the Report Post feature, more people will see your report.

Just to be clear here and as already mentioned. I am not a bot or LLM but I am trying to improve the quality of my question with ChatGTP. You could argue if that succeeded

A first post in these forums with correct advanced edits is a bit odd.

Bold headers and bullet points? Is that it? Or is AI trying to get humans so solve a question that has been asked, but to which it cannot find an obviously acceptable answer? "Why" answers are always harder than "how" or "what to type" answers when sufficient details are provided. Some background has to be assumed in the reader, which is almost always incorrect.

Or perhaps the answer is never respond to a user with only 1 post? How would any user feel welcomed if nobody responds, ever?

If nothing else, I am glad that you took the time to answer.

I have updated the question to be a more specific question. I hope, that someone is able to answer that question instead.

Then please say so clearly at the outset when you use AI. There is a veritable flood of AI-generated posts these days, and if you don't make the use of AI clear you are in danger of being mistaken for a spammer and being banned from the forum, or at least dismissed as a bot by the forum membership. Contrary to what one member states in this thread, we do not tolerate AI generated text when this is not used for genuine purposes. See our rules under "Spam" in the Code of Conduct, and some further clarification in our Posting Guidelines:

...Similarly, it is acceptable to consult AI resources such as ChatGPT in order to complement your own original thoughts, or to see if there is an aspect of the issue under consideration that you have forgotten. You may include a short partial quote or paraphrase from AI-generated output, so long as it clarifies or illuminates what the help requester has written, and you attribute the quote to the AI source. But simply regurgitating AI-generated answers is not allowed, and may very well lead to your account being banned.

Addendum: we have recently seen a significant number of posts posing as requests for help, but which consisted substantially or entirely of unattributed ChatGPT output. The text immediately above applies equally to questions as well as answers. To be clear: whatever the motivation for using AI to formulate a question, we have a zero-tolerance approach to unattributed AI-generated text.

Good luck with your task.
