I use NixOS for all my systems now, single config covers two servers, laptop, notebook and desktop.

Containers aren’t something to be afraid of, I’ve found nix + podman to be super easy to use / configure, so much it’s a copy / paste a config from another container with some small directory changes.

If you are not someone who likes using a terminal perhaps nix isn’t for you. I’ve found forcing the terminal & configuring via nix has given me much more insight into my machines / os than ever before. If you’ve got the time to mess with Nix I’d recommend it.

If that sounds like a bunch of effort and time to get something that may be easier via another method, I’d say Proxmox is the way to go.

Running through my config I’ve just noticed that I’ve got an IP conflict that I wasn’t aware of, but makes total sense right now 😅

Pls provide source code.

I wanted to get more ram for my notebook however it’s soldered to the board with no extra DIMM or storage options.

It’s an old satellite from Toshiba, 4gb ram, dual core intel, 64gb emmc. Serves it’s purpose running a bare bones (ish) install of Nix.

Really hate ewaste hardware.

Yeah NUT is the package I’ve been looking at, and looks decently integrated into NixOS just, getting around to configuring it is another time sink.

My 1920R and an unused 15A Dell rackmount (h967n maybe) came with my rack, I’ve got no reason to have two UPS running nor do I want to replace the batteries in another UPS or have a 15A socket installed in the house just yet. But man it’s tempting to piggy-back it off the 1920R for shits and giggles.

Waiting on some parts to arrive from AliExpress - once they arrive I’ll be able to decommission one of my servers and have all my services running off one board.

I’ve wanted to implement something like that with my 1920R UPS for my rack but haven’t found the time to commit to antiquated hardware.

Was enough of a hassle dealing with the expired SSL certs on the management card yet getting software running on one of my machines to communicate with the UPS.

All things considered my two servers chilling chew around 60w on average, not taking into account my POE cameras or other devices. The UPS should run for over a day without getting close to draining its batteries (have a half populated ebm too).

Not the same form factor and around twice the price, erying es intel motherboards are a steal at their current price. You do need RAM / Storage / ATX PSU they end up a much more performant’ piece of hardware.

The Q1J2 (20 threads) board I have despite it being an ES chip has given me no issues. Running most of my home services on the board with a coral nvme m.2 + nvme + sata storage. Can even do dual ethernet via the a+e m.2 and add-in more sata storage via m.2 to 6x sata board.

I’ve got a pi somewhere in the mounds of boards at home, but would rather spin up another container / pod / nspawn on my erying board vs go through the motions of setting up a pi.

Yeah my golf gets most shit moved, really want a tow ball installed so I don’t need to steal my partner’s car for heavier / larger jobs.

Pavement Princess or emotional support vehicle. Really hate the area I live in currently, my street is cluttered with them.

Oh man, brings me back to blackbox / xoblite on my old XP machine.

I remember using notepad to change the config files, no auto formatting or error checking.

Had no idea what I wanted out of it but I loved the minimal aesthetic.

My cheapo dumb tv died a couple of years back, was a great bit of kit for $400au that gave me 10 years. I’ve got a “smart” tv at the moment which isn’t connected to the internet, and just serves as the display for my Shield TV.

I’d probably consider an LG commercial / signage display as my next device, some old work connections can get me one as a special purchase through their distribution channels it’s just waiting out the current panel dying.

If you’ve got a m.2 slot in the mini PC you could add a cheap 5 sata port m.2 and connect them that way. If you don’t want to solder power you could really make it a butcher job and hack up the power from the sata to usb connectors.

Sucks to hear about your loss, I’ve recently lost my proxmox setup and migrated everything to Nixos. My install threw a wobbly, terminal was cooked, could only ssh into some containers so I wiped the install and migrated.

In my proxmox setup I found it easier to mount the drives as lvm to the host proxmox machine and pass them through to lxc via bind-mounts rather than adding another layer of shares / overheads.

I was a YouTube premium family account owner. Paid for myself, my partner and three friends accounts (think it was five slots?)

The recent price hike was too much, so I’ve been using frontends as of late.

The YouTube premium experience is seamless, much faster than the frontends but at the same time your getting shit shoveled down your throat at every chance.

I’ve had lots of issues with libretube servers as of late. Pipe pipe is better but overall since I dropped my sub I’ve been watching far less on YouTube as a whole.

The volume of Deathadder mice my brothers, I and our friends went through when younger due to double clicks and scroll wheel issues was absurd.

I’ve had my Superlight since their release, used every day for work and many nights gaming. No issues so far.

I’ll probs have to migrate back over, grub will be written to on every rebuild for what I’m assuming is adding entries. Not sure of the inner workings all I know is it’s caused me headaches a couple of times now.

Ahh until something hangs when updating grub. Had it happen twice over the last couple of months. No real biggie as it’s not the hardest thing to recover from / easy enough to pull my config and rebuild.

Maybe it’s me, maybe it’s Nixos or Grub.

No issues in games, it’s the steam client which has issues.

Now that I remember Firefox extensions too are having issues with overlays (bitwarden) but I’ve not updated my system in a couple of weeks which might to be to blame here.

I’ve seen it in Steam off the top of my head but not much else.

Happens on both my NVIDIA machines, my Intel machines see no such behaviour.

We’re a bit mad out here, we turned off CDMA in favour of 3G. The 3G system our main telco implemented was built for England and didn’t have amps built into the specifications.

Every site that was rolled out in regional areas needed to be attended to and upgraded with amplifiers (I know as I was one of such techs) doing heaps more work during the changeover period.

I believe the main reason is to reduce the volume of channels being broadcast on, to free up for other services (our analogue TV is turned off too).

Not everywhere in the world. Australia have turned off 2g for instance.
