Other lemmings don’t seem to love it when I jokingly ask “who’s Marsha Law?”

I am not OP; I only cross-posted.

IMO the trouble is that there are so many of the things now that I need a damn flowchart to understand how they work together and which ones I need.

(No, seriously: I want to set up an *arr stack but don’t understand how. Could somebody please send me a flowchart??)

I hate it when Free Software installers present the GPL as if it’s an EULA. It’s not! You don’t have to agree to it to install the software!

You only have to agree to it if you decide to do something that copyright law otherwise does not allow (e.g. redistribution of a modified version), and it is the act of doing that thing itself that signals your acceptance, no button-clicking necessary.

an i5-7500 should be faster

4 cores worth of Kaby Lake is faster than 32 cores worth of Interlagos?

Nothin’ I’m running, that’s for sure!

It’s not really that there are services that require that much processing power for a single request; it’s that it’s designed to handle normal requests for hundreds or thousands of users at once.

I suppose that supporting 0.5TB of RAM means it could deal with quite a big LLM, but any sort of halfway-modern GPU would absolutely run circles around it in terms of tokens per second, on any model that fit in their VRAM.

My drives are 3.5" 💀

It has an HBA, 3 hard drives, and 3 SSDs. I was going to add a couple more hard drives (just to try to get some more use out of old ones I had lying around), but 0.5TB ones might not have enough capacity to be worth their power draw.

The joke is that XKCD #404 is a literal HTTP 404 error.

Like a VM virtual disk? Those are exclusive to each VM and can’t be shared, so if you want multiple VMs to access the same data then NFS would be needed.

But containers with bind mounts don’t have that limitation and multiple containers can access the same data (such as media).

Just to be clear, are you saying that when you’re using bind-mounted ZFS pools, it’s okay to write from two containers (or both the proxmox host and a container) at the same time?

Also, I think I managed to accomplish that for a VM by creating a Proxmox Directory pointing to a path in a zpool, adding it to the VM using virtiofs, and mounting it within the VM. I’m not sure if writes from both the VM and the host are safe in that case either, though.

Its why I get in my car, and visit people I care for, and not send them a message or use facebook to see what they are having for dinner.

So is your car 15+ years old, such that it doesn’t phone home on you?

And do you know the locations of and avoid all ALPRs (automated license plate readers)?

Like for example a finance management software that can hook into my bank

What software would that be? I’ve been looking for a viable self-hosted alternative to Mint (and now Monarch Money) since forever.

I just upgraded my Proxmox to 9 last night, too!

…from 7, 'cause that’s how long I’d been neglecting it. 😅

I’ve also been trying to get my old dual-Opteron server working again, after having abandoned it a couple of years ago due to what I thought was a bad motherboard (IIRC, it wasn’t turning on at all). I was gonna buy a new motherboard since I happened to run across a cheap Ebay listing, but I decided to double-check the existing one first, and lo and behold, it booted!

Then I tried to update the ancient Proxmox on it from 6 to 7, and now it still turns on but doesn’t successfully boot.

Also, I can’t get it to boot from a flash drive for some reason, so I think I might have to take out the SSD, reinstall Proxmox on it from a different system, and then put it back in.

That’s fine, just shop at the competitor that doesn’t do that.

…oh wait.

I’m not convinced it’s possible to make a Free Software finance tracker with the feature that matters – synchronizing with your bank accounts – because banks (at least in the US) don’t seem to be interested in letting you connect to their API unless you’re an 800 lb gorilla, like Intuit, or at least a for-profit middleman willing to constantly jump through hoops, like Plaid.

What it means is that they, inexplicably, haven’t yet fled to a country that isn’t turning fascist and censorious.

LOL, who said anything about being “framed?” 🔥 😃
