I got this new anime plot. Basically, there’s this high school girl except she’s got huge boobs, I mean some serious honkers. A real set of badonkers. Packin’ some dobonhonkeros. Massive dohoonkabhankoloos Big ol’ tonhongerekoogers. ‘What happens next?!’ you ask? Transfer student shows up one day with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs. Humungous hungolomghnonoloughongous.

That’s unfortunate. I know they do change some things for both security hardening as well as for convinience of the platform, it’s a double-edged sword apparently.

He won’t as long as the alternative still makes his company valuable

VMs on a server are great fun, and there are some use cases where you’d absolutely need them (as parent said, running Windows on a Linux server, etc). I virtualized my whole-network router using virtualized OPNSense which is BSD based.

If you aren’t into spending time (and, eventually , money) on a setup that does “everything”, you don’t need Proxmox.

But it’s fucking AWESOME for tinkering. I think the question to ask yourself is, do you want a homelab, or do you want to just set-it-and-forget-it?

If you want services to be there without spending time on it, keep it simple. If you want the power that added complexity brings, and you have the means (time/energy/maybe money for upgrades etc) then by all means take the leap. It’s fun as hell, if you’re into it.

Docker in LXC can be a pain, especially when using backups as the Overlay2 filesystems don’t really jive with the way Proxmox does backups. And forget about running Docker in an unprivileged LXC.

Running in a VM is perfectly fine though; not sure what issues anyone has there. I ran on big beefy servers with 24 cores and tons of RAM though.

It was nice to be able to move my services between machines using a live migration while doing updates though; but again you have to be set up for that. My entire network was managed with twin OPNSense routers as VMs in Proxmox; they handled their own failover and so I could just shut down one at a time to run updates, even to Proxmox itself, and when it came back up then I could work on the other one. But, I wanted to learn all that and have zero downtime so the wife wouldn’t get mad every time I botched something (which, especially in the beginning, was often)

If you don’t have the money or time and just have one server box with a normal amount of RAM and disk; Proxmox is probably overkill unless you want to experiment with VMs or Linux containers. It’s an awesome product and I will sing its praises all day, but if you just want some docker containers you can make a far simpler setup; although I will say that the “overhead” is way less than you might think. It’s just more complicated (not hard, there’s just more going on than vanilla Debian or something)

PiHole or AdGuardHome; then set up a VPN on that same box and on your phone. You’re secure and on your own home network everywhere.

I’m still not over the fact that /etc isn’t for et cetera

EDIT: turns out that it is, and that there’s a lot of dumbasses on the internet “teaching”

I mean it’s basically the same thing but the command itself means “print”; it’s a damn old command and it probably predates using screens for terminals (used to be printers); which is why all the parts of Linux (ugh, and GNU of course) that came from Unix ideas came from that age.

You literally sat in front of a typewriter that would respond to you. Wild.

SQLite has made huge performance improvements in the last like 3-5 years.

I wouldn’t spin up an enterprise NextCloud with it but for a home NAS serving up to maybe a dozen people it’s more than enough.

SQLite actually has incredible performance these days. But I get your point :)

You can install NextCloud with snap.

This is my experience but with GNOME. Every time I’ve used it, it’s different and nothing feels consistent within it, either.

Does your computer have automatic AI up scaling or something? Because on mine this picture has so much JPEG it’s hard to tell that it’s even a real showerhead
