  • My in-laws retired after a lifetime of union work - carpenter and nurse. It’s given them a retirement that has let them, among other things, go to Venice 4 times.

    But they’re model Canadians and I think they’d be the least likely to block a through-way or make a spectacle of themselves. But they realize that just walking through the city has impact just from their mere presence.

    It’s too late for them but I get why they’d go back. Venezians (Venetians?) are cursed with a beautiful city and it makes their existence a struggle because tourists are dinks. I grew up in a tourist town and I hate tourists even when I am one, and even though to try to represent my polite country reputation as well as I can.

    Can we consider going in the off-season? How can we preserve the city for future citizens and visitors?

    Can we please drastically raise the price for everything and then award the residents a monthly stipend to completely offset it as well as using the rest for maintenance and restoration of the exteriors while we improve the infrastructure? I don’t mean to sound posh, because it’s more a value proposition: I’d pay extra to be able to go, if it means that extra revenue will allow that to happen. I’m willing to wait until I can foot the bigger bill, even if that means I never get to go.

    Is there a better idea that allows the activity of selfish people like me who want to one day see it, preserve it for people like me; but most importantly for the residents who have to suffer my gawking and smiling for a week?

    Neither. Both have fundamental issues toward confident updates and validation of software, speaking as someone who used to run the security response for an Enterprise OS vendor.

    I’m looking at CloudStack now, and it’s got some promise despite one odd glitch. I may try to stick with it .

    I hate the kid-pidgin, but you make a really good point here:

    it’s good to stop for second and consider what one’s needs actually are.

    I mean, this is always excellent.

    Too often - you’ll see it in this comment thread - we go all out and show our own solution would fit OP’s case. And to them it must sound like “if you want a coke from the sev(7-eleven, like circle-k, Ted) you’re gonna need a van, a really big spring, a holocaust cloak and a wheelbarrow for sure.”

    Considering OP’s situation, skill level, fuckery tolerance and perseverance is key. Resilio could be all they need, here – Not elegant, not D.R.Y, not pretty, but its fuckery is low (good g.o.l.f number), but it could be fire-and-forget.

    Now, I’m not sure you’re not replying to a comment that says the same thing …just, not as well. Still good advice.
