- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 1 day ago:
If you want to get things working then never “tinker” with things, maybe it’s not worth it. But if you want to learn and be able to try new things it is really helpful. Having a new VM not breaking existing VMs reduces risk when trying something new.

I think GPU passthrough has improved since you have used it. Some command line prep work is still necessary, but the passthrough config is done in the GUI.

In general checkout LearnLinuxTV on YouTube. Lots of good guides.
- Comment on How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server? 1 month ago:
Other people have suggested good info to gain nuisanced knowledge. I recommend starting with a simple fact. With enough time and/or the right conditions all storage will fail. Design your setup with redundancy. I personally had to replace 2x 12tb drives this year. I have raidz3 (3 parity drives) and a hot spare. So I just bought cheap replacements from a reputable seller on eBay and consider it part of the cost of self hosting.

Just put them in a separate library and only share it with people that ask for it.
- Comment on Motherboard makers apparently to blame for high-end Intel Core i9 CPU failures | Ars Technica 1 month ago:
My guess is the motherboard manufacturers could get away with this in the past without any issues. But Intel is pushing chips so close to redline out of the box that now it causes problems.

They are loosing to Sony so they have to find new ways of competing for business. You know, how it’s supposed to work.
Wish it worked that way more often.

They are, but it’s literally a single pixel video resolution and a really low frame rate.
- Comment on What is easiest solution to automatically resolve missing mounts due to e.g. a power outage? 4 months ago:
Yes. The important detail is that it remounts the path once the path gets called. So I setup a cron job to “ls” the path every few minutes to make sure it’s always remounted quickly.

Try looking into “autofs”.
- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 5 months ago:
If it still has working USB you can hook it up to a $10 raspberry pi with wifi to act as a print server. I can understand if that’s a more ambitious tech project than your ready to take on.

If you want cheap new drives check out shucks.top.
You can get used Enterprise drives on eBay if you want to got that way. Look for a seller with lots of sales, a good rating, and a reasonable return policy.

- Comment on Kubernetes? docker-compose? How should I organize my container services in 2024? 5 months ago:
I would stay away from kubernets/k3/k8s. Unless you want to learn it for work purposes, it’s so overkill you can spend a month before you get things running. I know from experience. My current setup gives you options and has been reliable for me.
NAS Box: Truenas Scale - You can have UnRaid fill this role.
Services Hosting: Proxmox - I can spin up any VMs I need and lots of info online to do things like hardware passthrough to VMs.
Containers: Debian VM - Debian makes a great server environment as it’s stable and well supported. I just make this VM a docker swarm host. I managed things with Portainer for a web interface.
I keep data on the NAS and have containers access it over the network. Usually a NFS share.

That’s silly. But I’m pretty sure AMD is pretty happy with the situation.
- Comment on Intel CEO laments Nvidia's 'extraordinarily lucky' AI dominance, claims it coulda-woulda-shoulda have been Intel 6 months ago:
Having read the article it sounds like Pat is more complaining that Intel would have been positioned to milk the AI cow if the previous CEOs weren’t fucking idiots.

- Comment on tailscale vs cloudflare tunnel? which is better a homelab 7 months ago:
A VPN is going to offer better security. I would only use cloudflare if you need something to be open to the public. This is useful when you have non-technical users that aren’t going to understand using a VPN.

That is called a “loss leader”. The idea is to give you a really good deal on the chicken because you will probably buy more things while you are there.

- Comment on Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration 10 months ago:
I have worked as a driver helper in the past. This pay makes sense. It’s a demanding job mentally and physically. With the pay being good it also means people work really hard to get that job and really hard to keep it. Congratulations to them.
