This is something I've wanted to try. I still want to have with people but I can't always. I think it could help me flesh out a campaign too.

I feel that too. Only thing I can think of is that I'm going to add a could ssds to my home server.

The few times I looked that all I ever saw was spam.

Proxmox wont make backups to B2 easier, but since it is basically a web interface and API for Debian and KVM/QEMU you might be able to use your current backup strategy with very little modification.

I found this which leads me to believe I may be able to pipe zfs send to restic to replicate my current disk backup strategy. Presumably I could fire up a VM and build a zfs storage pool in it to test that theory out.

As for ZFS, you can expect to use about a GB of RAM for each TB in a ZFS pool. I (only) run 2x 4TB drives in ZFS mirror and it results in about 4-5 GB of RAM overhead.

So if I were to put 4x4TB in a RAID10 equivalent pool I'd be looking at ~ 8GB not 16, whew.

For a homelab it’s a bit much, the learning experience is the biggest part. It’s an entire rabbit hole.

The rabbit hole is where all the fun is. Templating was something I never really got around to in my current setup. I do have an ansible playbook and set of roles that will take a brand new Ubuntu VM and configure it just how I like it.

Thanks for all the info. I'll be sure to check out your repo.

Gotcha. So long as they're not breaking GPL or holding back security updates for non-paying users. I could care less. Thanks.

Did people actually use the chat feature in Reddit?

No. I just forgot to put xcp-ng anywhere in my reply to you. 😀

I did a little research (on xcp-ng) since reading @housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com's post. Seems like it has a lot going for it. My main concern, right now, is that it's built on top of CentOS.

Convoluted just means you built it with care. ❤️

That was one of the reasons I was thinking of getting bigger disks. I want to retire the qnap I have and spin up a TrueNAS VM.

Does Proxmox still sit at the top of the stack if I'm not clustering?

xcp-ng

Not gonna lie, I haven't looked at Xen in years. xcp-ng looks interesting. I'll have to dig into that more.

pseudo-open-source bullshit

What do you mean by this?

Like all advice obtained on the internet, YMMV.

Honestly that's pretty good all things considered. My car's a 2020 that cost about the same, I've been driving for 30 years, and my ins isn't much less than yours.

My point was. For a car that new,. even without a lien, I would maintain full coverage should the car get totaled. Your car gets totaled, replacing it is going to cost you way more than the (probably) $600/yr you're spending on the difference between liability only and full coverage.

I've got enough going on, on my internal lan that I have a bind server hosting internal fwd/ptr zones. I just put config files in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ that direct queries for those domains there.

The way I read this either their password reset infr is compromised, your email is compromised, or they did some social engineering w/ a support technician.

Not sure if you're just telling us the amt or of you're implying it's too high/low. Sounds about right given the age and cost of your car, without knowing anything about you.

That's entirely fair. I was making broad assumptions about ownership.

But it's all intertwined. That home's $3900/mo rent price 2 years ago is still indicative of the problem. Pre-covid that home would have been more affordable. The families that could have afforded it are pushed either to smaller homes or into rentals. Due to inflation across the board everyone's getting pushed down into smaller or otherwise less expensive housing, of which there is limited supply.

This stuff is unbearable, I can’t even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

There's a lot of good advice in here but I haven't seen anyone tell you to just reduce the amount of heat being generated in your home. Almost every plugged in electrical device in your home is generating some amount of heat. Esp. if they're in use.

So my suggestion to you is to flip off the power-strip or unplug unnecessary devices, and find something else to occupy your time. The consoles, PCs, the tv itself, they're all hungry devices that generate a lot of heat. Those fans people are telling you to use? They generate heat too... so while I'm not saying, "don't use a fan to stay cool", I am saying, "don't fill your home with running fans in rooms you aren't in".
