- Comment on Hypothetically, to build a god-tier 270-360 degree screen coverage racing simulator with 4k 165ish hz refresh rate monitors, would a single RTX 5090, be enough to run 3 or 4 monitors? 2 months ago:
I would look at benchmarks for the game you want to run that are done at 4k. Then divide the FPS by 2 for dual monitors or 4 for 4x monitors. Probably minus a bit more because scaling up isn’t perfect.
However that’s assuming you don’t run out of vram, if that happens performance will drop a lot. Same with CPU, if the threads the game runs on are maxed out performance will drop.

RClone maybe? rclone.org
There are some open source rclone android apps like RCX, and on windows/linux you can just use
rclone mountto use it like a normal filesystem. - Comment on Watchtower replacement recommendations 2 months ago:
Komodo.
- Comment on Hosting Dockerized website on VPS with Apache 2 months ago:
Start with basic diagnostics, see if apache is running inside the container, if it is can you
curlfrom inside the container, if that works did docker create the firewall rule to expose the port or is the VPS overriding things in some way?Gotta start with the basics.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 7 months ago:
I set up Plex/Jellyfin specifically to get away from having to manage media manually, it tracks watch states, gets subtitles, transcodes for me when I’m traveling, and does all of that for family too.
MPV is neat but its just a standard media player app like VLC, not really anywhere near the same concept as Jellyfin.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters? 9 months ago:
I didn’t say that, I said almost! Generally disk IO is where VMs fall short on performance vs a container.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters? 9 months ago:
Extra security and full isolation with its own kernel, so you can load kerne modules and such.
Also can run Windows in a VM when needed, or MacOS.
- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 11 months 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.

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 Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 11 months 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.

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.
