I think fans of Nix and NixOS would agree.
- Comment on Ethernet switch only partially working 2 months ago:
This is really more of a home networking issue than anything having to do with self-hosting. Please consider posting this in one of the many Lemmy home networking communities.
- Comment on [Question] Migrating and Upgrading Proxmox to New SSDs on Poweredge Safely 2 months ago:
This is a question probably better-suited for one of the Proxmox communities. But, I’ll give it a try.
Regarding your concerns about new SSDs and old VM configs: why not upgrade to PVE8 on the existing hardware? This would seem to mitigate your concerns about PVE8 restoring VMs from a PVE7 system. Still, I wouldn’t expect it to be a problem either way.
Not sure about your TrueNAS question. I wouldn’t expect any issues unless a PVE8 installs brings with it a kernel driver change that is relevant to hardware.
Finally, there are several config files that would be good to capture for backup. Proxmox itself doesn’t have a quick list, but this link has one that looks about right: hungred.com/…/list-of-proxmox-important-configura…

Love another iOS option.
- Comment on Trying to get advice for photo/files storing/syncing 3 months ago:
Nextcloud Photos performs okay, but the interface is very ‘meh’. Plus, the mobile client’s sync is a little unstable. On iOS, there’s no background sync at all.
- Comment on help setting up audiobookshelf 3 months ago:
This seems the correct advice. If the container is on the same host as the data, there’s no need to access the data via Samba. In fact, it’s likely the container doesn’t contain the samba client needed for such connectivity.
Assuming TrueNAS allows the containers to see local data, a bind mount is the way to go.

This is good stuff. Has it been posted to the project’s GitHub (issue, discussion, etc.)?
- Comment on Immich not reading GPS from image uploads 3 months ago:
Have you considered searching the GitHub issues?
- Comment on Phone home tracking image in DocuSeal, and how to remove it 4 months ago:
IMO, this is a discussion that should be taking place on the project’s GitHub. I’m going to lock the comments so I don’t get any more reports about commenters’ behavior.

Hilariously true
- Comment on which OS for transcoding with jellyfin and gpu intel arc a380? 5 months ago:
You’ll need to be far more descriptive than “I can’t get it to work.” I can almost guarantee you that Fedora is not the problem.

- Comment on Cannot reset DNS Settings 5 months ago:
This is really more of a home networking issue than anything having to do with self-hosting, especially since it centers on a consumer router. Please consider posting this in one of the many Lemmy home networking communities.

I’m going to allow this post, despite its age and likely obsolescence. I encourage community members to use up and down votes to judge its value to the community.
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
I am with you on the advantages of running it in a VM. The isolation a VM provides is really nice. Snapshots FTW.
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
That’s not a definitive support statement about Docker being unsupported. In fact, even in the Admin Guide, it only provides recommendations. The comment I replied said Docker is unsupported by Proxmox. I maintain that there is no such statement from Proxmox.
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
Proxmox is Debian at its core, which supports Docker. There’s no good reason to not run Docker on the bare metal in a homelab. I’d be curious to know what statement Proxmox has made about supporting Docker. I’ve found nothing.

I’m amused by the spoilers tag used for a question about a movie that was released in 1986.

Looks like work you’d get out of 98% of pros. I’m fine with my mistakes and imperfections. It’s the ones I pay others for that piss me off.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 6 months ago:
Check the ZFS pool status. You could lots of errors that ZFS is correcting.
- Comment on Proxmox Disk Performance Problems 6 months ago:
Quick and easy fix attempt would be to replace the HDD with an SSD. As others have said, the drive may just be failing. Replacing with an SSD would not only get rid of the suspect hardware, but would be an upgrade to boot. You can clone the drive, or just start fresh with the backups you have.
- Comment on When Pi-hole is down? 9 months ago:
Except when the ONLY pi-hole is down, which was the original OP’s whole question.
- Comment on When Pi-hole is down? 9 months ago:
Yes, your experience will be different if your DNS is being provided by another kind of DNS resolver. If you want a consistent pi-hole experience (and you can avoid downtime of your current pi-hole), add another pi-hole to your network and let that be your secondary DNS resolver.
- Comment on When Pi-hole is down? 9 months ago:
Add another DNS server (1.1.1.1, for instance) to your DHCP options. Your DHCP clients will use 1.1.1.1 when the pi-hole isn’t responsive.

VLANs all the way. I have several VLANs, including:
- Virtual Servers

Ballmer’s not on either of those lists. Not sure how you can put those layoffs on him.
- Comment on Steve Ballmer is set to make $1 billion a year for doing nothing | CNN Business 10 months ago:
I’m not fully abreast of Ballmer’s dealing, but I know he’s spending a shit ton on pro basketball:
One can judge the utility of such ventures, but it’s undeniable that capital is being used (not held hostage) and jobs being created. It takes a lot of people to build a stadium.
- Comment on Kiteworks acquires ownCloud & Dracoon - Nextcloud 10 months ago:
When you mention Postgres, are you saying PF specifically is better, or are you implying that the default SQLite db is what really slows things down? I ask because I’m on mariadb with no complaints, but might switch if NC is faster on Postgres.
- Comment on How can I remove this smoke dector housing? 11 months ago:
Do you mean you want to remove the box and leave the wiring in the wall? I believe it’s code in most places that you have to make wire splices like that accessible and not just shoved into the wall. So, in your case, code would require you to leave it as-is, with the wires capped behind a blank cover plate.
Plus, that junction box is likely nailed into the stud in the wall. You’d have to pry it out, which probably means wrecking then patching the drywall around it. Cap the wires, put on a blank cover, and call it a day.
