I came across this post when looking for answers. And put my precious few minutes to register to reply - purely to thank DerDanilo's continued contribution in the community and from my point of view who has been very actively helping others. And at the same point, I am surprised by ssldn's attitude of judging "value" in the community. correct your attitude please.
Time is the most precious. Knowledge is the second and financial reward is just a bear minimal compensation. Do not judge "value" or take people's contribution in this community for granted or as if they should always help you with no return asked.
I don't know DerDanilo nor am I Proxmox enthusiastic.
Sure. You got a point and I share Your opinion fully. Also, I wont start a big discussion, like I've avoided already before. I doubt that you believe right, according my attitude, but let me explain at least a bit. I saw one personal issue in this kind of post (while It in no way was against anybody personally, I admit each and any member of the open source commnunity, especially the good support of DeDanilo he openly and freely offers), which was that he took the time and effort to explain in longer terms something about free will and time that is offered, in which time he could have given as well the explanation of the issue. I observe people either wasting the time and energy for discussions or giving heads up to something that never follows (like, e.g. someone stating he could bring solution A, B or C but then disappears) instead of using THIS particular time to solve it, openly and published for the later world. It's a common issue.
And thanks to your post picking it up, maybe some people more than before become aware, that often it's better to write nothing.
I personally occasionally plan to give more back to the community through at least translations or anything, but often my own time lacks too much to give a project a finishing. So, very often my appraisal rests in opening issues and topics, raising questions or critique someone (which rather seldomly happens)
;... but as from people only opening issues, which are then solved in written text, published in a great forum like this for the later world to read and help others to NOT repeat mistakes, then this is at least something given back, through opening ways from own problems.
Sometimes also starting to write because something minor like here, helps, like you did now.
Cheers.
Wish a good computing time. All the best.

P.S.: And my irony about maybe being a member of this or that company was me pointing at forums where hundreds of members post anything like: "ah, I got my problem solved" and then disappear and a solution is sought for a never ending time. Do you not think, then it would be better to say nothing at all anymore?
Especially often company forums have it (in my eyes) that the supporter even says "Come in private " and the f...... s... is closed. Not my view of a helping community,so I wanted to raise my voice against this becoming a normality. And this forum still is super helpful, extremly helpful, compared to others. Am totally thankful for it.
anyways, have a great week!
