  they claim 3% overhead, I bet you could get pretty deep before noticing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and run Proxmox inside that VM

  The most successful people don't have goals they have constraints.

  Here's a really good one, don't start another project until you've finished the last one UNLESS it directly relates to it. in this way even without a clear goal you are always building towards something and with a narrower field you're more likely to accidentally finish something as different projects converge.

  it's just a meme ... with a kernel of truth.

  when running as your main OS windows very quickly gets bogged down with everything you want to run on it.

  in a VM you're only running the 1 thing you need on a fresh install, potentially a screenshot of that fresh install so it's always running at peak.

  does this make up for the host overhead? maybe ... Linux has never struggled under base load for me like windows has.

  Win 10 IoT LTSC 2021 is supported until 2032. the ESU is literally just security updates they will be doing anyway.

  if you have any windows software that can't be replaced and needs to be online ruinning IoT is one solution.

  protip: Windows runs faster under a VM in Linux than on bare metal. True facts.

  I prefer security vulnerabilities I can manage to privacy ones I cannot.

  I'm sure they would have mentioned if they needed a cellular router

  didn't know you could still get a dial up plan.

  j/k, but damn I'm so sorry, it should be illegal to call VDSL broadband.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Router suggestions for a complete noob⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Check routers at a pawn shops and see which ones can run openwrt.

  I have a 10GbE switch and haven't hit 500mb/s. Network capacity likely won't be your bottleneck.

  datahoarders

  the only bad time to buy more capacity is when you run out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting out with Selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mentioned a cheap dedicated server because I'm not sure when quicksync was introduced, if you need to do any transcoding at all an intel macbook will probably catch fire.

  and if you haven't already then change the thermal paste. I have a 2015 pro as well and it gets real hot, factory paste can be a crap shoot if it's even making contact in the first place much less after a decade and new paste actually makes a bigger difference in performance than I expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting out with Selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There's nothing wrong with just running a laptop as a server until you have specific requirements it can't meet.

  Like maybe running a pi hole over wifi doesn't fill you with confidence and you really need something plugged into your router.

  in which case I'd get a cheap mini-pc. even something as cheap as an N95 will handle everything you want to do here easily but you can also go the 2nd hand 1L route which can be fun too.

  finally picked up a bunch of cheap 2.5" sas drives to turn my dumpster server (Proliant DL380 G7 with 16 hot swap bays) into a backup server.

  still trying to work out the specifics but the idea is because it's a power hog and LOUD I want to use wake on lan to run a backup task and turn it off automatically.

  I can turn it on via lan so I'm halfway there right? ......

  The fediverse isn't just lemmy.

  also is this your first day on the internet? blowing pedantic bullshit out of all proportion is the baseline experience on any platform.
