Ah yeah, sorry, didnt realize that wasn’t clear.
Only one machine at a time handles USB devices by design - OTA TV tuner, zigbee/zwave, USB to serial adapter, and an 8 channel relay.

I have a single.ip transmitter and multiple receivers, IP controllable and routable.
If VM1 uses USB device1 on RX1 from tx1, and host1 goes down, when VM1 is going to be run on host2, rx2 is switched as the receive from tx1, and VM1 still has access to the USB device.
For the record, icron 2304s I got because of work stuff (that accepts commands, which are the version they only oem now).

Just to note, at the time anyone could be made a moderator without their approval, so that alone is not demonstrating his support for that subreddit.
Allowing it to continue was his implicit support of it. He was well aware of what they were doing, and only acted when it became a PR issue.

Should I switch to Ubuntu server?
Thats a hard no IMO.
Even if you want to do something other than proxmox (just use Debian, fedora, or opensuse).
Its not bad from the CLI, you just need to know your commands.
virt-install --name=deb13-vm --vcpus=1 --memory=1024 --cdrom=/tmp/debian-13.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso --disk size=8 --os-variant=debian13Will get you 1 vcpu, 1GB ram, and an 8GB drive worth of debian. If you don’t specify a path, in home under .local/share/libvirt/images it will go!
You can also then
virsh edit deb13-vmAnd you’ll get the XML, where you can edit away.
Personally, I’d rather use the webgui for most things, but yeah its perfectly doable from the CLI.

Not sure what youre doing with OMV that couldn’t be done in proxmox, so feel free to elaborate there.
Almost all my servers are proxmox (some just Debian, though a few more specific work related solutions are lurking about). For docker I’d do an LXC, btw, I wouldn’t bother with a full VM.
My (excessive) setup is all proxmox, set up as a high availabikity cluster. HA runs in a VM, and my USB devices are passed through (technically its USB over IP extension, so the USB devices for various VMs continually pass through even if I have to shut a server down).
Its where Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, homepage.dev, a bajillion stupid containers I mostly dont need, DNS, monitoring and analytics, mealie (recipe server), various websites I host, etc, etc all live. Nothing is by itself on a box except my workstations, but for non-linux use I have VMs I remote into (mostly industry specific software and random crap like an xp VM to use an old piece of hardware).

I know youre joking, but so others know - Springsteen’s breakout hit was Born to Run. Its about escaping the pressures if life. About going for a long drive away from the factories (blue collar family), getting away from it all on the road.
He still lives in NJ, he’s a proponent of LGBTQ rights, believes strongly in the dignity of work (before anyone misconstrues this, this means that all jobs should be respected equally), he donates his time and his money on a local, state, and regional level in campaigns to address hunger, resources for low income families, antipoverty grants through his own foundation, etc. He’s also been this way since the 1980s so not new either.

No worries, just wanted to make sure you knew the difference there.
Also, check out shinobi, motioneye, and Nx witness. Frigate is oriented for detection, so not the ideal answer if you have no interest in detection.
- Comment on Replacing a small business windows server 1 week ago:
Fedora and Proxmox are substantially different. Proxmox is meant to be used from a web interface only, and is meant to host virtual machines and containers.
An extremely appropriate use for you, BTW.
Fedora can be a desktop or a server, as can Debian or Arch or pretty much anything else, including installing qemu (vm’s).
The proxmox benefit is specifically that web interface, IMO, along with (if you had more servers) clustering. Which is not to put down proxmox at all, its on almost all of my servers (including a bunch for work).
Jellyfin is a server, yes, but you can still control Jellyfin clients - https://github.com/xnstad/jellyfin-remote
That said, there are many options. You can use vlc or juk and control them both from a web interface. You don’t need a server solutions for audio playback, you want a local media player.

And - well I was going to say surprisingly, but its really not - the post I saw just before this was about transit use and a fear of violence. Which, of course, is ultimately due to not addressing the unhoused.

- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 2 weeks ago:
My grandma used to make depression era meals for my dad (they were also poor), my dad made them for me (not as poor then solidly middle income), and I would love to eat them for nostalgia reasons. Can’t because of gluten, but I’ve been trying out various gluten free bread recipes to see if I can get something that works.
A reeeeeaaallly long way of agreeing and saying yeah, nostalgia plays a role.

piracy does not
Piracy is actually a huge driver in both legally purchasing content and secondary purchases (art, toys, statues/models, etc).
The overwhelming majority of pirates also point to the extreme increases in streaming costs as well as the constantly changing landscape of streaming services needed, sometimes to even watch a single show you’d need 3-4 services.
I’d also point out that many out there just want their stuff to be seen. Freddie Wong and Matt Arnold recently made We’re All Gonna Die, which was made available in theaters and then a ton of streaming options.
They then pointed to the availability of a 720p torrent (I’m not going to say that they released it) so everyone could see it. Why? Well maybe people will want to check out their other content, buy merch, or subscribe to their patreon where they make other content.
But to say piracy is not a driver is incorrect.

Interestingly enough, cheaper on bluray at about ~$70 than on DVD at around $120.
Though cheaper still would be a yard sale, the library, or the high seas.

This is my issue now, I need more storage and the prices are ridiculous. I dont see them getting better soon, either, so I’m probably going to buy new.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 2 weeks ago:
Self hosting wise, not much, just ran through updates (I prefer to do this manually) and set up a new box which will host another proxmost host and NAS.
The mobo/CPU that became the new server has been replaced with an Asus prime x370-pro and a spare 1700x to be used as a new endeavoros desktop (their defaults are close enough to what I want I dont bother with full manual install). Mostly need it for a KDE 6 box for dev/testing to go alongside the instances of Trixie/Sid, since I’m considering arch for some work stuff that Debian won’t fit the bill for.

- Comment on Anyone had any luck running Fusion 360 on Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Just wanted to mention, I do this for work apps, including Autodesk products (and a bunch of niche industry apps).
I have a base VM for Windows (really for a few different versions of windows, some applications are horrifically outdated but still needed), which has nothing installed but the bare necessities. None of the junk from the microsoft store, just a working set of drivers, including GPU for pass through. I block local network access for everything but access to a specific directory on my NAS (mounted proxmox-side so Windows doesnt see it as a network endpoint, just as a mounted drive).
I clone that image for each application I want to run independently.
Its been my method for a good few years now, aside from my work laptop its the only bit of windows I have. It also keeps a nice separation of my work stuff from my personal stuf.
I then boot the VM for whatever application I need, and off we go!
Highly recommended if you’ve got the setup to support it. And you don’t have to go anywhere near the extent I do, I mention it just to share how far you can take an approach like this.
Hope it helps!

Oh definitely they are my preferred overall.
I tend to find mostly dells, with a few HP’s and lenovos. Next to me are…. 3 lenovos, 4 dells, and 2 HP’s. A few more are in the bin behind me I’ll need to test and sort out before I put into use (anything dead I salvage what I can).

Completely fair, I was thinking of the little 15W desk lamp stuff, but the bigger/brighter incandescents could rival my desktop for sure!
- Comment on Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server 3 weeks ago:
Similar cost, more flexibility, quite a bit more power - usff PCs. Tiny / mini / micro, used. Less wattage than an incandescent light bulb, and some can compete with a pi 5 in idle power consumption.
I’ve got an elitedesk 800 (i5-7500t) clocking in at about 6W at idle. Take a look and see if it will work for you.
