- Comment on EU considers tariffs on digital services Big Tech 6 days ago:
How would this affect the big players? Like MS -you buy from the European branch and they use buy from US. So hitting them with tariffs would hurt MS more than their customers?
I understand they will raise prices, but its not like with physical goods where the same item is resold. They use other ways to transfer money because tax

- Comment on How best to store a media library in proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks. My setup is way over complicated with 3 hosts in a cluster and shared storage, so local storage on the hosts stay unused. But i have been thinking about redoing it with separate hosts. This solution looks promising for sharing data, even if just on one host
- Comment on How best to store a media library in proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
So lxc containers and not vm’s
- Comment on How best to store a media library in proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
Could you explain further with a bit more detail? I havnt looked at this in a while but back then the options where virtiofs or nfs
- Comment on How best to store a media library in proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
If you want to share storage you need some way of doing that. Zfs is a good option for storage on vm-host level, but ist not designed for shared usage. Im not sure what you are after, but maybe you want zfs storage inside the vm for snapshots, dedup etc? Or maybe you want to share your media storage between vm’s? The first case you can use zfs inside your vm, it does not know or care about how its disks are stored or of they are a physical drive. For the second use-case you want some way to share drives, like smb, nfs etc. or a distributed filesystem if you really want to over complicate things. Truenas might be over overkill for sharing a few volumes, but you need something. I believe you can share zfs over nfs now but i have never used that outside of proxmox cluster storage
I use both debian on a vm with samba+nfs and a bare metal truenas for my needs. Find your needs and figure out what solves them
- Comment on How best to store a media library in proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
So you mount the pool to each vm that needs the shared data? Afaik zfs is not made for concurrency

Could be propaganda as well - why not scare the monkeys with the bad Chinese? Without ESPs the market is so much easier to control.
Note:I use both the ES8266ex and different ESP32s in my projects.
- Comment on How to get a unique MAC/DHCP IP for a Docker/Podman container without MACVLAN? 4 weeks ago:
No - i would advocate for not using docker if I need a network interface. But thats my opinion, and others will have a different one.
You can use macvlan networking, and if you need host<->container communication you give your host a macvlan interface instead or in addition to the root nic. Macvlan works “on top of” an existing interface, so theres no routing locally between the underlying nic and the macvlan nics.
If the host have several nic’s you can pass one through to a given container
- Comment on Did sites end up making money from API restrictions? 4 weeks ago:
Seems to work fine for those you listed. They wanted people to use their services directly and that’s what they get. It was never about making money off the api, it was about limiting api usage
- Comment on How to get a unique MAC/DHCP IP for a Docker/Podman container without MACVLAN? 4 weeks ago:
There are other solutions than docker for that use-case that I think are better fits. It probably works fine, but for me other drivers including host mode and ipvlan seems to have been introduced to solve the wrong thing. Like how it needs privilege for them to work and how it exposes the containers network interface. For me it kinda breaks parts of why i would use docker.
Its my personal opinion and how i like to work.
You could probably make your setup work but it seems too complicated for me when you introduce a bridge as the root interface. Maybe with macvlan adapters on the host instead or in addition.

Too much fanfare and too little real info shared to be of any value. Sounds more like an ad than infosec
- Comment on How to get a unique MAC/DHCP IP for a Docker/Podman container without MACVLAN? 4 weeks ago:
I dont get it - are you trying to mimic vm’s with you docker containers? docker works great using the normal way of exposing ports from the internal docker net through the host. Making technology work in ways it wasnt designed for usually gives you a hard to maintain setup

- Comment on Help with lxc write access 4 weeks ago:
There are other things to consider as well. Nfsv3 is good for large sequential reads/writes. There are no multichannel in nfs3, and you should adapt technology to the use-case. For vm storage nfs sucks while for movie storage it works great.
- Comment on Home Assistant in Proxmox, local dns not working 4 weeks ago:
Multicast DNS uses multicasting (surprise!) so keep your devices on the same network and it just works. Docker is not very multicast friendly but lxc or a vm should have no issues.

If you really want an accurate test go for a mensa test. But you should prop aby familiarise yourself on what the test can measure. And to put this into a work context is mostly useless. You do not need 140 iq to be a lawyer. You do not need 120 iq to write code. You do not need 100 iq to do investment banking.

- Comment on How do I point a reverse proxy to a VPN client on my VPS? 1 month ago:
By using its ip:port
If you have homeserver1 running stuff and that’s connected to the vps through vpn you make sure your homeserver1 service that you want to proxy runs on the homeserver1’s vpn ip.
For docker this is done by specifying that ip when you expose ports or use 0.0.0.0
I assume you can already ping homeserver1 from the vps by using the vpn address of homeserver1

- Comment on Docker in LXC vs VM 1 month ago:
You dont need or want docker on your vm host. But a bare metal docker host can solve many peoples needs.
- Comment on Docker in LXC vs VM 1 month ago:
Dont listen to them! The main issue with containers vs vm is security as you lxc runs in the hosts, while a vm runs on the host.
Use what you are familiar with and remember that lxc are containers and docker are containers, but the use of them are vastly different.
