Thanks, that’s a useful description.

Pretty ingenious.

I didn’t understand how the OP did this:

Create an Apple account with [email protected]

Is that just a spoofed email? What would be the steps to do that?

This was the first hit on proxmox vps.

I have no idea if they are good or not, but this kind of service might be what you’re looking for?

We need more instances, but we need to be a lot smarter about the structure. I think we will only be able to grow larger if we make a more intentional separation between topic-based instances and “people-home” instances, so that we can have a better spread of the load.

I don’t know if it would help with load-balancing, but I feel hash tags would be better than communities.

So use syncthing on all your devices. It will let you selectively sync folders.

In their Fremont factory, Tesla had an area called the plantation for people of color. They also had racist graffiti throughout the plant. Musk is from apartheid era South Africa. I have a feeling his racism is deeply rooted in his life.

The transcript is below. It looks like the CEO definitely had it in mind and was hesitant to say it directly. The interviewer did a good job of getting them to admit it.

I ran upon this video today. It might be helpful.

Thanks, those are good links. I don’t know anything about power supplies/demands, sorry I can’t be a better conversation partner.

There might be similar boards on AliExpress, but I haven’t seen ones with as many SATA ports.

The are similar (the same?) boards all over Amazon and AliExpress. I would be interested in knowing what you find out. Good luck!

I’ve been looking at this for a bit: https://a.co/d/2FMhmIY

I haven’t checked any reviews, but it might be something to look into.

I miss the in-depth comments from users experienced in specific fields. I followed RealTesla on Reddit and it was amazing because you had software engineers, automotive engineers, safety systems engineers, lawyers, finance people, car industry insiders and many other perspectives all discussing the topics and bringing their unique insights to the conversation. Here it seems you have the same tired jokes repeated on most posts and not nearly as much depth.

One of the reasons I didn’t want Hillary was to avoid more dynasties (Bush, Clinton). We need need political families keeping power to themselves.

Not OP, but I use this download manager. It has been good.

Social media’s impact on society is relevant to technology. I would even say it is one of the most important questions in relation to technology today. So, how an owner tries to silence criticisms of his social media site for spreading fascism seems relevant to me.

I’ve got a Frankenstein setup that wasn’t really thought out that well when I started. I’ll probably end up changing it later. If you go the Proxmox route, check out the partitioning suggestions carefully before you begin.

I’ve got an old minitower that replaced a mini PC setup. I wanted to bring my hdd into the box and connect via SATA instead of an external HDD on USB. I’ll probably get a bigger case to make installing HDDs more convenient.

I don’t really understand the partitioning to be honest. I have a 512gb nvme that is split up into a couple of partitions for VMs, ISO’s, backups and things for Proxmox. Then I have some other HDDs and SSDs that I use for files. Nothing in raid yet, but I’m hoping to add a couple of more HDDs. Then I’ll connect them to OMV and put them in raid.

I’m currently hosting radarr, sonarr, prowlarr and overseerr. It’s really convenient.

When I was in your shoes about 8 months ago, I opted for Proxmox and don’t regret it. Since then, I’ve been able to try different NAS OSs, experiment with different hosted services, etc. it gives you a lot of freedom to set up a VM, try a bunch of stuff, and then delete it and implement a fresh solution when you’re satisfied with something.

If you do that, you might consider having the operating system and VMs on one disk. If you decide on NAS software, many pass through the storage drives to the NAS directly.

I’m probably going to end up with the following:

• Base Proxmox
• NAS VM - OMV with NFS shares available to other services, SMB for the network
• VM for -arr services
• Plex on an LXC - a script helped me set the up
• (Maybe) VM for home assistant
• VM for other home services I need, like Immich
• Maybe a VM for hosting things publicly
• Testing VM

I hope this is helpful!

This reminds me of another factoid - most people never write in their dreams. I wonder if there is a relationship.

For me, pros are:

• Fun to learn something new
• Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
• I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
• Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.

Cons

• Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
• As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
• With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
• I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.

Hope this is helpful.

I was looking into Tailscale, but it got me a little worried. I’m not very knowledgeable, so I hope someone can correct me

They don’t allow ssh, so you have to give your keys over them and they manage your ssh connection? That seems idiotic. Surely that can’t be correct?

I’m my use case, I was wanting to rsync to an off-site Synology from a Linux box. Synology also doesn’t allow ssh over their VPN service - frustrating.
