I have it working with LaCP’d 4gb networking for the transfers. Five nodes. I agree though, It’s a beast on RAM.

I have tried a couple of Proxmox clusters, one with overkill specs and one with little Mini PCs. Proxmox does eat up a fair amount of memory, but I have used it with Ceph for live migrations. Its really useful to me to be able to power off a machine, work on it, then bring it back up, and have no interruptions in my services. That said, my Mini PCs always seemed to be hurting for RAM. So that’s my pros and cons.

You mean I didn’t need to spend years and thousands of dollars learning Linux and servers? Oh man! Oh wait, I’m getting ads in Windows on the start menu. Yeah, I’m happy.

There’s a series of Lemmy posts called the Linux upskill challenge that goes step by step through setting up and using Linux. I tried self hosting and jumping straight in too, and it sucked.

What worked for me:

1. Start using open source versions of stuff, like switching from Chrome to Firefox, Office to Libre Office.
2. Set up Virtual Box, and practice running server apps on Linux on virtual machines, until you’ve done a few Linux VMs and gotten used to the interfaces and commands.
3. Dual boot a laptop or desktop, one by one getting your daily use apps working in Linux.
4. Distro hop a bit. I never thought I’d land on Fedora, but here I am.
5. Get used to running and configuring servers from the command line.
6. Host some stuff with VMs and get used to the networking and bridging and stuff.
7. Containers!

I’m still in the middle of 6+7. Not super comfy with Docker quite yet, but getting there. I really do love having my stuff self-hosted though. Well worth the effort.

sudo apt dist-upgrade Then reboot?

(I think. Not an expert.)

Honestly? I found it suggested on that other site. Something to do with the kernel modules. All I know is that I had no working GPU, ran that, rebooted, and then everything was gold.

I had to depmod -a, before then my gaming was messed up.

I disagree with this. Law school isn’t cheap. Law school doesn’t come from nothing. I’m seeing kids in my class who are stacked six to a bed, working full work weeks and trying to squeak by in class, and largely failing. Also, effective politicians need to raise funds to run campaigns. Funds come from rich people. Even if this effective politician somehow manages to afford an expensive law degree, they also need to have the time and opportunity to succeed in school, and then somehow manage the free time to also make connections among the wealthy so they can raise the funds to run a campaign.

Politics has become for the rich, by the rich.

Not that Alanis Morissette song?

Trying to add my user to wheel: sudo groupmod -a wheel Deleted my group membership in everything but wheel. That was fun! Remote system too! Edit: I still don’t remember the syntax. Geez.

This is such a short, sweet game, runs on everything: Portal. Even my mom likes it!

I have two old usb2 4tb drives attached, and the only issue I run into is a bit of delay at the start of a video in jellyfin. My jellyfin is running in a container in the Nuc though, not natively, and it’s a Celeron from a while back, so…

SELinux: Tries doing a thing, didn’t work Spend eight hours trying various crap. setenforce 0 Works now Five minutes cussing 30 seconds googling how to set the context Works forever

Tries doing a thing…

Hmm… The nice thing is, I don’t use the remote. I have a little wireless keyboard plugged in to my Tiny PC… But yuck. I guess I’ll have to start tinfoil hat wearing soon.

I have a “smart” TV with a network cable plugged into nothing at all, with no wifi connected, plugged into an Oooold Lenovo Tiny PC running Mint. The Mint box does all my smarts. Pihole, ad-block, all that jazz. It never occurred to me that it might have connected to some open wifi out there, but none of my neighbors have guest wifi or anything, so hopefully I’m good. It’s definitely not on my wifi, anyways.

Canuck here, and I really hate weighing in on your politics, but… Biden is old. An old politician, with policy experience, advisors, and hopefully at least enough common sense to step down if his health takes a turn. Trump is also old. And a lunatic. A criminal, a predator. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. A human shaped waste of space. When you guys voted for him last time, the rest of the world smacked their foreheads in astonishment and lost any respect for the voting populace of your country. We all honestly thought he was a joke right up until he won. Every single thing you see online about Biden is an attempt to get enough sane people to abstain so the lunatics can squeak a victory out of sheer disgust. Vote. Vote for a human being who means well, or vote for a bag of orange toxic waste shaped like a person. But realize that all the crap about Biden is a blatant attempt to get you to stay home and not vote. How many criminal charges…? Seriously?

Agreed! That’s a couple steps after you convert into a full-blown LiNerd, but I have a Ventoy nestled next to my portable Mint. I landed on Ventoy after I snagged an IODD-2541 and decided that someone had to have implemented the concept in software.

I’m old. Mint 15 XFCE, I burnt an installed copy onto a thumb drive, and ran into a weird grub glitch. Asked on a Mint forum, and Clem himself (maker of Mint) wrote me a detailed how-to-fix. Warm fuzzy feelings for Mint.

To quit vim is simple!

Just get a second computer, network with the first one, SSH into the first one, find the process ID of vim, and pkill! Easy as pie!
