Agree with others, if you try to do a replica it’s going to be very inefficient, and your costs will be high. You’re looking for a backup, then just nightly/weekly you perform your backups. Any blob storage then will do, just work out what pricing works for you. Just plan out how you’d do a restore in case everything came crashing down - from ground up how would you bring your services back online?

HDD enclosure is a fine way to start, as long as you know it has limitations. Eventually you’ll probably need more storage, and it won’t scale. That being said, you can get 26TB hard drives now, it’ll be a while. Just make sure you plan out how to back it up. Remember the rule - if you can’t afford to buy a backup then you can’t afford to do the project. Make sure you have backups in mind.

If you decide to upgrade to a full NAS solution later also remember that during that migration you probably will need to use new hard drives while migrating as your current ones will need to be copied from to the new NAS, meaning you will probably end up with a few redundant drives. Not a huge thing, but there will be no “in-place” upgrade. It all depends on where you want your homelab to go in the future.

Yeah honestly people are just antagonistic everywhere I’ve learned. There’s no perfect place. I think Lemmy is better, but there are also jerks everywhere

I fully understand and empathize this. No matter what I do, it’s thanks to her in her eyes. My faults and failings are of course not hers, but all of the wins and accomplishments are.

It works surprisingly well on Linux

Child walking onto the street in front of a truck? Billy please come here, please don’t walk into a truck. Never is such a strong word. And I have a mother who yelled, frequently, and I still think there are a few cases. Parents aren’t infallible or perfect.

Oh god that hit me hard. My mother’s is “but I raised good children” i.e. the ends justified the means.

Yeah but you could have done it differently too! It’s not mutually exclusive!

I tried for years to decide that, and with therapy learned that was I doing it for her or me, and if for me does it really help? She’ll never change, so it does no good. Instead I keep her a healthy distance away. I still see her, but measured intervals.

I heard my dad parrot every single one of those. Each one a perfect hit to enrage him and make him angry, each one contradicting the past, and all together show how it was always about wanting cheap labor.

Thanks for pointing this out. That is hilarious. I immediately assume bros who have tried to make their own launchers popular

Yeah I gotta say that I am a steam fanboy, but GOG is making me pause. After 20 years of being on steam (oh my god it’s been that long) I am finding myself preferring GOG. No DRM is pretty sick.

They want to fight back against steam the winner isn’t more DRM, it’s using valve’s own weapon against them, and using less DRM.

Not related at all to the arguments above.

Thank you. I heard from ex coworkers that he felt like the outage made him look bad in front of his new boss, so firing me was a political move for him. He then had to have several meetings with people saying that “(scrubbles) didn’t get fired for one outage”, which everyone knew was bullshit. Apparently morale plummeted. So there’s a silver lining. He torpedoed all trust he had with his team.

I think everyone who tells jokes needs to understand that. It will get back to them. I don’t care if your friends at the bar think it’s funny, Tammy in HR will be the one deciding if it’s funny or not.

I was fired recently. My manager put a Friday meeting on for 30 minutes, right after a big project went wrong. I pinged him and asked him for an agenda in pure panic, and he didn’t respond, instead saying in our team channel that it was review time and that no one should panic, everyone is getting meetings for reviews

Phew I thought, yeah I fucked up, I’ll get probably a lower review but I’ll prove myself after that and work back from it.

Nope.

He was late joining, HR was there and thought for a second it must be because of the reviews, something special. Then the fucker fired me. Asshole. He fucked up the meeting, sent me on a wave of emotions that week, and then still fired me.

I caused a 2 hour prod outage btw. That was the fuckup. I had only been there 5 months, told them I didn’t feel comfortable doing it alone, they told me to work through the weekend to do it and I did, worked a 16 hour day to make it all stable and happy. They made me give a postmortem and all of my colleagues said it was a rite of passage and that it was no big deal, just to learn from it. Then he fired me.

Uh, no. You want to be mad at something like that look into how they’re training models without a care for bias (or adding in their own biases).

Hallucination is a completely different thing that is mathematically proven to happen regardless of who or what made it. Even if the model only knows about fluffy puppies and kitties it will still always hallucinate to some extent, just in that case it will be hallucinating fluffy puppies and kitties. It’s just random data at the end.

That isn’t some conspiracy. Now if you expected a model that’s fluffy kitties and puppies and you’re mad because it starts spewing out hate speech - that’s not hallucination. That’s the training data.

If you’re going to rage about something like that, you might as well rage about the correct thing.

I’m getting real tired here of the “AI is the boogieman”. AI isn’t bad. We’ve had AI and Models for over 20 years now. They can be really helpful. The bias that is baked into them and how they’re implemented and trained has always been and will continue to be the problem.

Yeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!

Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.

You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.

It depends on your setup of course, many ways to skin that cat. You didn’t really say where you wanted dashboarding. Do you want it through a terminal? Through a UI within proxmox? Personally I took it as an opportunity to learn Grafana and hosted it

I legit laughed out loud at that. That is hilarious. Of course it’ll bite them in the ass, but in the short term it’s literally more important that AI look like it’s cutting job than actually cutting jobs

It’s not that. As far as the stock market is concerned Microsoft has succeeded and plateaued. There is no where else for them to grow in the first world.

So they are not giving up on consoles. No, this marketing campaign wasn’t for us, not by a long shot. They’re going to Africa, to South America, Asia, they’re trying to lower the bar for entry so they are the first ones in everyone’s minds over there.

Don’t have an Xbox? Here’s a handheld. Can’t afford that? Game streaming from the cloud. This is infinite growth capitalism and there simply aren’t enough people to sustain that, so they need more people.
