Yeah, I think I’ll go with proxmox as a first attempt — it seems to fit what I’m looking for and the feedback here has been pretty positive on that front. My main concern now is figuring out how to provision the hdds so that a jellyfin lxc can utilize it, nextcloud could use it, and I can save (configuration) backups to it. I’m comfortable with zfs in general (run that on my desktop), but I was under the impression that raid10 would be more performant with the same redundancy, when using 4 disks in raid10. Any one disk could fail, writes are at the speed of the disk because of mirror, and reads are 2x. I lose usable disk space, but I think 16tb is enough for me (for now of course haha). Am I wrong though on the zfs vs raid10? I guess actually I could use zfs, create a single pool with two mirrored vdevs. I am not sure how that would affect future growth, but should do really well for now. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to do, in your opinion?

Amazing, thank you! I think I’m gonna have to be okay with not nailing it on the first go and trialing it out the next few days. Step one sounds like proxmox to me :)

Hey, thanks so much for the response, this is great! Love the idea of offloading ai workloads to their on vms to make facilitating managing resources easier.

Also, big thanks for the recommended software — very helpful list for me to look through, especially on the AI front. Do you have any notes on configuration for those in particular?

Thanks for the reply!

My understanding was that with only 4 drives, raidz would lower read throughput and not add much space / redundancy. Is that not true? Would you mind giving me a few more details on how you’d set up a 4x8tb raidz array (or could point me to a tool / resource that could help me? I haven’t been able to fully convince myself either way)

Honestly, more small orders getting cancelled is also awesome, good on you!

I thought a big problem with these types of wheels was dealing with the added unsprung mass?

Bookshop.org just recently added ebooks, and I believe they have a UK store, for anyone trying to buy ebooks in a more ethical way. It allows you to select a local bookstore of your choosing and support them when you purchase books. They take a small fee to cover their warehousing and shipping I think, but pass along a lot of the profit (80%) to the local bookstore. They’re a certified b corp and their bylaws say they can’t sell to a major retailer (eg amazon).

Maybe. I’d say it’s more corporate for Sonos to try to develop yet another closed wireless audio sync protocol just to force users to sign in through their app so they can data scrape you. In the absence of a true open wireless sync protocol (maybe there is one and I’m unaware, in which case I’d like to be educated!) I’d rather them use a more widely adopted protocol than roll their own.

Edit: I think maybe I misunderstood the comment I replied to and they were agreeing with this statement in general.

Sonos actually uses AirPlay as well. Frankly, they lose when it comes to multiroom audio vs that interface, and they need to make their money off of selling speakers (compatible with AirPlay and other services). Their problem is they wanted to be a clearing house of users listening habits, where you’d need to use the app for them to track that (where you sign up / in with your services); that’s asinine, and they just need to be a speaker company.

Probably nothing (because your gpu has some power spikes, just not hitting max power), but I’d make sure the integrated gpu in the bios is turned off; it’s possible something happened when playing, and the bios reverted to selecting the igpu on your 7900x3d. When I first booted my 7800x3d this was occurring, and I fixed it by turning it off in the bios.

Firefox based browsers don’t as far as I know support protocols direct to usb connections, so if you’re using a web app based application (for example, some keyboard software) to flash your layouts you need a chromium based browser, and people generally choose brave over chrome (though I think it would be 100% fine to use chromium with hardening but that’s difficult with some of the upstream changes making chrome extension store less helpful — built in mitigations upstream as found in brave may be helpful in this regard, and faster).

You can, of course, feel free to show us how you’d implement this in python. It’s fine to say you would do it differently, but don’t stop there, show how/what you would do differently. Add to the discussion, like the person you were replying to did, don’t detract.

Man hopefully they just mercilessly rake companies that don’t support Linux because of kernel level anticheat over the fires as well. We need more advocacy in this space I think (and honestly I’d like it if kernel level anticheat was banned from steam on account of security).

TLDR:

Qwen model is popular and DeepSeek R1 seems good, and they’re based in China. There is investment because they think that’s where the future commerce will be (which to me is a little like the dot com bubble but, whatever). Lack of chips can be problematic.

I’ll check this out, thanks! I really just need to figure out how to build in the driver level stuff for my chipset. Even this I think just pulls from lm-sensors which needs the low level drivers to populate the appropriate files to read from.

HWMonitor / cpuID / cpuz. One of the frustrating things is not having good driver level support for certain mbs with system monitoring utilities, so you can’t see fans and some cpu stats (like per ccd temps etc on Ryzen processors). Specifically things like it87 boards

Thanks! Looks like they don’t specify any fine amounts just saying that it’s probably coming and could be leveled before leadership change in the fining body in EU.

Looks paywalled or something, anyone can provide a tldr?

Anybody know of a program that would let me remap the keys on the razr naga? I’ve been using this to deal with the rgb, but would really like to edit the mouse button mappings (not averse to running a virtual machine to do it, if it’s one off, or maybe in bottles if that works).

N-95 masks are protective, and to a certain (most likely lesser degree), KN-95 masks are also protective.
