I’ll probably throw in a spare HD and dual boot the box to test one of these days. Each successive MS attempt to force crap down our throats just further incentivizes me.

The only reason I have a windows box is for gaming, specifically sims (racing and flying)

Ever more reason to test and see if the wheel and flight stick work under Proton.

I was going to finally do k0/k3 or something kubernetes to set it up. I managed to get it going scalable with just docker swarm. So the kubernetes procrastination survived another deployment!

That’s called unnecessary overkill and you’ll introduce failures from excess complexity.

I buy better gear that doesn’t regularly require a reboot

My mikrotik has not NEEDED a reboot ever, except when I run upgrades. Everything is set up to auto recover when disconnects happen, and power up properly if there’s an extended power failure that causes UPS shutdowns.

I will never understand why people think rebooting their router regularly is a normal thing. That just means your gear or setup is crap.

You can use vgpu if you have an older nvidia card, up to 2000 series https://gitlab.com/polloloco/vgpu-proxmox

I don’t think any other cards are nearly as well supported for GPU resource splitting

Nah not THAT old, interleaving was pretty unnecessary by 1992, IDE drives generally didn’t need it, that was for the older MFM drives

At that scale discs are stamped, not individually burned. Same as how music CDs and DVDs were made.

If you’re using a government run DNS, why not use the CIRA ones instead? https://www.cira.ca/en/canadian-shield/

Commander Taco?

Self hosted Sunshine and Moonlight is the way to go.

Maybe it’s time to move on from 12v being the “high power” standard in PCs to something higher. Similar to how cars are slowly shifting away from 12v accessories. 48v would cut the current on the wires and connectors significantly.

It never got over you

I feel old. The only one of those I haven’t ever used is that AAUI port. What’s that for?

To add to this….ive added a layer of protection against accidental deletion and dumb fingering by making each year of my photos archive into a separate zfs dataset. Then each year I set each dataset to read-only and create a new one.

Manual, but effective enough. I also have automatic snapshots against dumb fingering, but this helps against ones I don’t notice before the snapshots expire.

I did (am doing) something very similar. I definitely have issues with my indexing, but I’m just ordering it manually by year/date for now.

I’m doing a little extra for parity though. I’m using 50-100gb discs for the data, and using 25gb discs as a full parity disc via dvdisaster for each disc I burn. Hopefully that reduces the risk of the parity data also being unreadable, and gives MORE parity data without eating into my actual data discs. It’s hard enough to break up the archives into 100gb chunks as is.

Need to look into bacula as suggested by another poster.
