Dell optiplex desktop or workstation would def be a gpod idea. Both are much quieter than servers - you can get the workstation if you want a xeon chip and ecc memory - otherwise the desktop will likely do what you need.

Oops!
- Comment on Minimal Micro-ATX case for external PSU 3 months ago:
Look into PICO PSU. Its a small powersupply that uses a power brick to downsize internals. It’s used by homelabbers sometimes.

If Tidal isn’t your cup of tea, check out Qobuz - I’ve had a better experience with it. It doesn’t pay artists as well as spotify, but I think it’s still more than Spotify (iirc)
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
How is running a container in an LXC worse than in a VM? It’s not really, is it? No, not really. Kubernetes could also be built on top of the LXC as well, sure. There are a number of genuine benifits from running docker on top of an LXC, and it doesn’t compromise security or come with a significant performance drop (unlike VMs).
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
LXCs let you get all the benifits of VMs with fewer drawbacks, I recommend that approach if you want some extra sandboxing than docker on bare metal provides.
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
That’s my current configuration, it works well. Put your storage on a separate network. I use smb shares so my data is password protected, even on that separate network.
Main downside of this is there’s more places for failure to occur. If your NAS goes down, there’s no storage access for proxmox which may cause service downtime. Alternatively if proxmox goes down, this also causes service downtime. For me this is fine, but something to keep in mind. Ideal solution would be 2 HA clusters for storage and compute, but thats expensive haha.
- Comment on Move UnRaid from metal to Proxmox 6 months ago:
If you virtualize unraid, unraid wont have direct drive access - you can get around this by getting an HBA card and forwarding that to the unraid VM. Others have mentioned that proxmox doesn’t have docker support, I personally run docker containers within lxc boxes on proxmox. There are solutions to make managing containers easier, like portainer, if you want to go down that route.

On graphene, don’t feel like switching launchers again - just disabled all network access for nova launcher and its supporting apps… Thanks for the heads up!

Glad to help :)
- Comment on How Do I Completely Remove A Docker Container And All Dependencies? 9 months ago:
rm the container, then run
docker system prune -a. This will remove all unused docker images, containers, networks, volumes, etc. - Comment on Best service for filing taxes? 9 months ago:
Fuck turbo tax, that shit sucks don’t use it - can’t say enough bad things about it. I’ve used cash app to file for free for a few years now. I doubt their privacy policy is any good, but it works well and I’m not trying to fuck around with my taxes…
- Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running? 1 year ago:
I’d suggest proxmox. Sinple web UI for management, but debian backend. Very powerful virtualization. Supports GPU passthrough, LVMs, ZFS, and a bunch of other stuff out of the box. If you get another machine, you can also put them into a cluster.
- Comment on Is the Orange Pi 5 overkill for my needs? 1 year ago:
Right idea, but I’d suggest getting dell or lenovo mini pcs instead. Saves you a bit of cash and you can get a semi-recent (low tdp) i5 + 8gb ram + whatever ssd the seller will throw you. They run 80ish USD before tax iirc
- Comment on Sharrr in a container? 1 year ago:
repo’s readme mentions having support for docker…
- Comment on Do nameservers matter? 1 year ago:
Shouldn’t affect the speed it takes to retrieve records too much (a couple ms), but certain nameserver providers may update records faster in the event you change 'em.
- Comment on Mullvad VPN - Infrastructure audit completed by Radically Open Security 1 year ago:
I’ve used it to open a local port on my laptop publicly without needing to make any changes to the local network I was on. It can be useful for opening your laptop’s ssh port or to host an http server to send someone a big file you don’t want to pay to upload somewhere.
One other common use is 🏴☠️ which I suspect is why they disabled the service :/
