Could be a difference in how they’ve set up charging cut off points.

Batch mode is great! I didn’t realize it was added until just now hah
- Comment on Google Drive alternative? 4 days ago:
Nextcloud client/app compatible WebDAV server with a lightweight file browser webUI, and multi-user support.
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 4 days ago:
Not really, you can browse files in an LXC backup and restore specific parts. For VMs you can just restore the whole VM and copy out what you need.
- Comment on Docker Backup Stratagy 4 days ago:
I just back up all the directories and docker-compose files using Restic (via Backrest) stored on Backblaze B2, and also the whole Docker LXC via Proxmox’s backup function to a local HDD.
There’s a chance some databases could be backed up in an unusable state, but I keep like 30-50 snapshots going back months, so I figure if the latest one has a bad DB backup, I could go back another day and try that one.
I also don’t really have irreplaceable data stored in DBs, stuff like Immich has data in a DB but the photos themselves are just on the filesystem.
For testing Restic I clone a debian VM and pull the important parts of the backups, and
docker compose up -dthe important stacks to test them.Proxmox backup is really easy to test, as it just restores the whole LXC with a new ID and IP that I can test out.
- Comment on Virtual Machines- is there a better way to jump start a VM? 5 days ago:
NP! That’s how I do it on proxmox, I’ll start the VM every so often and update it. Only takes a few seconds to clone so it’s nice and quick to do.
- Comment on Virtual Machines- is there a better way to jump start a VM? 6 days ago:
Simple method is just keep a ready to go VM and clone it.
- Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount? 6 days ago:
I’m always wary of aftermarket stuff just because poor quality cells can sometimes catch fire for no reason at all.
- Comment on Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS 1 week ago:
What does compiling your own kernel do that lets anticheat be bypassed?
- Comment on Microsoft Came to Bargain: Use OneDrive for Device Backup, Opt into Loyalty Program and Use Their Products Till You Earn 1000 Points or Pay $30 and They Might Give You Security Updates till Oct 2026. 1 week ago:
It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because it’s easy.
- Comment on Eve Online developers CCP are being sold off, according to reports 2 weeks ago:
My sort of turning point where I stopped playing was when they added the ability to pay IRL money or ISK for skill points.
It was a much more interested game to me when there was no way around the time investment of learning skills.

Pinchflat is what I use.
- Comment on ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP? 2 weeks ago:
You can either:
A) Use a different port, just set up the new service to run on a port that’s not used by the other service.
B) If it’s a TCP service use a reverse proxy and a subdomain.
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 2 weeks ago:
It’s just YAML, if you do
FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:“/config/config.yaml”instead it might work with quotes. - Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
It’s interesting because you’re not the first person to complain about getting ISOs in Proxmox, but on my instance if I click on my local storage it has an upload ISO button, and a download ISO from URL button right there, so it’s really simple.
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
Is it all automated with versioning intervals and stuff? Or is restic required as a third party step and maintaining a duplicate of data on the server for it to grab?
Overall it sounds like a decent VM manager but is meant for enterprise stuff where they’ll be building their own backup systems.
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 2 weeks ago:
How would it increase chances of burning the house down? Outlets are rated for a specific current draw and will have a matching breaker on the circuit, if your outlets are worn out or the breaker or wire is not matched correctly that’s not the fault of the charger.
- Comment on Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It? 2 weeks ago:
If you uninstalled the app or disabled it, then it can’t run in the background.
- Comment on Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been using Zen which is nice and has some stuff removed that we don’t want.
But it’ll only be around as long as Firefox is around.
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
That’s what proxmox has too, but snapshots aren’t backups and aren’t being sent to a remote backup server… You’re also not supposed to keep snapshots around for very long, whereas I have backups going back several months.
Or are you sending snapshots to a remote server? I think ZFS can do that, so maybe that’s an option I can look at.
- Comment on The Trump Mobile T1 Phone looks both bad and impossible 2 weeks ago:
That’s also how you know it’s a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don’t have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 2 weeks ago:
This looks interesting, how do you handle automated backups of all the VMs/Containers? Their docs kind of seem to say “stop everything and figure it out”, but with Proxmox I’m used to it handling everything automatically to my PBS server every night.
- Comment on xAI Data Center Emits Plumes of Pollution, New Video Shows 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m wondering as well, how do we differentiate cooling towers and the heat from those vs actual exhaust emissions…
- Comment on Docker is not available in RHEL10 2 weeks ago:
It’s definitely not an easy migration in my experience, because they run rootless and they cannot auto-start without making a system service for every stack, there is a lot that needs to change in a compose stack, especially with file permissions for shared mounts.
- Comment on Drivebender replacement 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t windows have storage spaces or something like that? I’m not familiar with windows for any kind of server stuff but I remember reading some things.
- Comment on Drivebender replacement 2 weeks ago:
It’s a drive pooling application for windows, lets you merge multiple drives into a single mount.
- Comment on slrpnk.net is back 3 weeks ago:
They had a hardware issue, I believe with the firewall on the rack setup it sounded like?
- Comment on How to move OwnCloud data? 3 weeks ago:
It’s just a folder of stuff, so copy it to the new location you’re going to use on your fresh instance (which would be where your bind mount is in your docker-compose project). Then once up and running you’ll need to run the command to manually scan existing files.
- Comment on Smartphones are Designed to Fail Us (and We Have to Change That) 3 weeks ago:
There are tons of rugged smartphones out there, also some brands that focus on easy to repair phones.
The fact that they’re not well known kind of shows that the majority of the market doesn’t really care about those things.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 Can't Be Anti-Capitalist When It's Charging Us $80 To Play It 3 weeks ago:
That’s sort of how it works though isn’t it? If games at $80 are too much then less people will buy, profits will drop and publishers will either lower prices, or vanish and get replaced by ones that lower prices.
