I’ve been trying to get a docker composed from my docker run commands, so I’m going to try it out
- Comment on What should I run and why? 1 week ago:
Can you briefly summarize the difference between dockge and portainer?
I use portainer for the most part and have no real complaints aside from some ambiguous error messages when containers fail to deploy.

Gotta issue them a NIST 800-88 certificate and you’re golden.

I’m a network engineer in the DoD lol

Because the DoD isn’t as organized as many perceive. Source: me
- Comment on Why do cameras call it "Macro Lens" if it zooms in and is used to capture tiny objects? Shouldn't it be "Micro Lens"? 3 weeks ago:
I suppose tilt shift lenses can achieve that.

Actually for cropped sensors it’ll still be 1:1 but “cropped”
You can get more magnification if you use extension tubes or specialized lenses.

Two train of thoughts. Making something 1:1 ratio is a true “macro” lens for photography. Because you’re increasing the size of the object to match the size of the sensor.
Then you got microscopes which makes things much larger than life.
For which manufactures call it what? Probably all marketing, but this makes the most sense in my life for justification.

Oh that’s really clever!!

It’s also Wifi AX which I’ve hit 600mbps with my phone.
Buttttt it’s wifi AX for 5ghz only.
- Comment on Ideas for setting up a media server compatible with xbox viewing? 3 months ago:
I would imagine poor upload speeds would really make it difficult.
Also Plex doesn’t direct play outside the LAN. (I think) so encoding could also pose an issue.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 3 months ago:
Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I’m lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.
- Comment on More and more USB sticks and microSD cards are being made with dubious components — data recovery firm uncovers no-name, low-quality NAND inside many devices 3 months ago:
Yeah I agree. I have a drive running Ventoy and that’s about it.
Also if I’m moving a lot of data. I’ll use a NVMe enclosure to speed up the transfer instead of network.

*Stares at my home networking stack. *
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 4 months ago:
Because many are served by a 3rd party CDN that’s more robust than the original article.
Also might be part of the coding.

Just so you know
R5 5700G
128GB ram
2 x 20TB disks
2 x 4tb NVMe
Idles at about 60w.
You should look into the RTX 6000 or higher to utilize vGPUs.
And also get into proxmox. You can pass through part of your GPU into a “desktop” environment and also have another VM(s) running in the background. That way you can use your computer as normal with a type 1 hypervisor in the background.
Also get a mobo with 2 NICs. The fewer pcie cards you have the lower power draw.
My NVMe idle at 7w and my HDDs idle at about 15w I think. 45w is just for storage.

You got a friend to host with?
I have an off site backup with a friend, but I’ve never tried streaming from them.
