It really was easy. And it works so well I didn’t have to lean the names of stuff haha

For anyone following along, I meant portainer to manage dockers. Podman is a different container technology it seems.

Proxmox was the answer for me. OpenMediaVault in a VM for NAS, LXC containers for things that need GPU access (Plex and frigate). Hell, I even virtualized my router. One thing I probably should have done was a single docker host and learn podman or something similar. I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it’s more to manage.

You’ll want 2 network cards/interfaces- one for the VMs and another for the host. Power usage is not great using old gaming parts. Discrete graphics seem to add 40 watts no matter what. A 5600G or Intel with quicksync will get the job done and save you a few bucks a month. I recently moved to a 7700x and transcode performance is great. Expect 100-150 watts 24/7 which costs me $10-15 month. But I can compile ESPHome binaries in a few seconds 🤣

I like cosmic crisp apples.

I did a South American country once too but the payment processor has a snafu and it stopped working after the 2nd month. I just spun up a personal invidious VM and moved on with my life.

Dude I’m not looking at monero charts to decide if I’m doing my biweekly Costco run today or not

I don’t get how a currency can be taken seriously when it’s value can swing 25% in a month

I think you’d get over that. I don’t think it’d be any worse than normally contemplation of mortality, eventually. There’d be the initial shock, and then again as it nears, but I think it’s worth it to know.

I think it opens up more lanes for more connectivity options. 2 gen 5 lanes instead of 4 gen 4 let’s you have two high performance nvme straight to the CPU instead of one.

I still haven’t figured out why they didn’t get the cop that drove over her, to drive off of her. Why were people trying to lift the truck?

Well, the founder made death threats and I for one believe him.

American here, I’m jealous of this element of your mortgage system

You forgot Step 0: make an announcement so overtly egregious that when you walk it back, the compromise sounds reasonable

I use Ubiquity at work, and decided on TP-Link Omada at home. I virtualized opnsense and the controller, but if you’re just getting started I think this is the device you’re looking for. Street price is $250.

You’ll then need a modem and access points. I use an S33, and I’m happy with it. As for APs- they are $100 and up depending on features you need. The mesh and roaming work very well. I over-spec’d to the 670s, 610s would have worked. WiFi 7 APs are <$200 if you’re into that.

There are now 15 standards

It’s usually because the solution was embarrassing
