Totally agreed. My favourite get-to-know-you question is this: “if you had the very specific super power that meant you could make everybody into the world love a piece of media in exactly the way you do, for exactly the reasons you do, what piece of media would you pick and why?”

My answer is The Good Place, with a bullet. It’s about trying to be better every day and treat people well, and it’s hilarious and good natured.

I need to know if there are still real estate novelists in this universe.

Yeah, not a bind mount. There was a warning, but I was restoring a ton of LXCs and clicked through the warning too fast. My fault, I’m not super sore about it, just warning others as a service to prevent what happened to me!

I like ProxMox too, I’m quite happy that I dove in with it. Just one word of warning - if you mount a drive volume in a container, destroy the container and restore it from a backup, it wipes out the mounted drive. I, uh, lost a bunch of data that way. Not super important data, but still.

I’m still glad I went with ProxMox though. It makes spinning up something a breeze, and I also went with HA in a VM, and another Debian VM for Docker, and a bunch of random LXCs.

As a dual boot to play games I have on Game Pass but not Steam, like Expedition 33.

I tried it on Windows on the deck and it wasn’t what I’d call playable. I have relatively high framerate standards, but…it was like 15fps. Might be better on Linux.

What did work decently was streaming it from my XBox Series X via XBPlay.

Good write-up. I also have Caddy with no HTTPS to the back end service, and was just thinking “I should set that up” when I realized…all the services are on the same ProxMox host, so that have direct access via virtualization, and so won’t be in clear text over the network at all (or at least I think so). Thanks!

Fair, it could be more intuitive. IMO stuff like that is why a good trainer is important. FWIW I’ve worked with ServiceNow for a long time, and am a big fan of it.

When you say search is a stack, do you mean filters? If so, you can just click the > in the breadcrumb to remove the single element after it leaving the rest of the query.

The horn arrangement just absolutely slays.

The Ikea Stygbar remote is cheap and has 4 buttons plus long press capability. I got a ton for dirt cheap, they’re great.

Huge second for the Becky Chambers stuff. Both those Monk & Robot books are sublime.

Well both of those are damn cool, thank you for the links!

Thanks for the kind offer! I won’t get to this for a while, but I may take you up on it if I get stuck.

Huh, cool, thank you! I’m going to have to look into that. I’d love for some of my containers and VMs to be on a different VLAN from others. I appreciate the correction. 😊

I think two NICs is required to do VLANing properly? Not 100% sure.

Awesome, thank you!

Well that was a good read.

It irked me when they dropped the heat pump as standard and also raised the price, anyone know if the heat pump is back?

This is great! I’m fine with an initial tap-for-Umo-wallet with tap for credit card later, too.
