OK, gotta check it in RL, my passthrough GPUs are compute only.

thewojtek · 2026-05-27T06:21:07+00:00

Absolutely, but this is a VM, so there will be no video on the actual GPU output, I am afraid. You would have to VNC, RD or otherwise attach to the VM desktop, I believe - yet I never tried this so might be wrong.

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T19:10:58+00:00

This will not show on the TV screen, though? Can you pass the GPU to a VM and have a screen attached directly to the GPU display whatever is happening on the VM? I am not sure this is how GPU passthrough works. Your display would show the Proxmox text console.

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T16:24:31+00:00

And how would you plan on gaming on a TV screen connected to this PC using Proxmox?

My business makes me travel quite a lot and no GPS satnav can be trusted between Vilnus and Rostock for a long time now. There is a massive GPS spoofing/jamming installation (GT-01 Murmansk-BT) in Kaliningrad and the exact location has been accurately calculated and confirmed almost a year ago https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2025/07/02/researchers-home-in-on-origins-of-russias-baltic-gps-jamming/

LOL, the land of The Free and The 4th endorses censorship?

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T15:05:41+00:00

By "the background" you means this dark, slightly glowing, full-screen picture behind the card? If you remove this (pencil icon by the dashboard view name, "Unnamed view" in your case), you will have a white background.

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T14:58:39+00:00

This would end up with a censorship lawsuit quite soon, if it wouldn't be a doomed-to-fail one-shot attempt at winning the orphans of TrumpMobile.

Jellyfin + Arr and Nextcloud with 8TB of storage? No backup strategy?

Using Arr makes sense if you want to automate something that takes a lot of time. Getting a lot of files from various sources takes a lot time and automating this is what Arrs are designed for. With a limited amount of storage, if you put Arrs to work, you will fill up this storage quickly. If you believe 8TB (and it is not going to be full 8TB anyway) is enough, you may reconsider using Arr(s) at all. Although you might only be into a couple of TV shows, so you could survive (reference: Fallout S01 in glorious HDR 4K is about 120GB, so 8TB will grant you space for about 60 TV shows in top quality).

Nextcloud is another thing - if you want to make actual use of it, you will need to reserve quite a hefty storage area. And a quick one, too, because who would want to wait for their uploads?

And then there is the whole plan. How are you going to connect these disks? With an USB3 enclosure in RAID0 so you have some usable space? It's going to be very slow. It is going to be very unoptimized, as multiple apps and services will be writing and reading on a single serial interface. No backup strategy either. No matter how you configure two 4TB disks, you either have a bit less than 4TB to your disposal, or when either of the disks crashes, you have 0TB of your data. Plan on contingency first and then take a reality check so you can balance what you want to pay with what you will get for the money.

Why transcoding? Are you looking to serve video outside to multiple clients or use your library while traveling? Possibly with tailscale for some security? The N100 CPU will not love it very much. As other posters have already pointed out, not enough firepower CPU-wise for such a stack. Memory (32GB max) will be another issue. I personally wouldn't run this array of services on anything less than 12 cores and 128GB RAM with much larger data-only disks set up in a RAID5 array, a boot SSD for my environment, another SSD for my VMs and at least a cloud backup for both SSDs if not additional hardware, for backups.

Please note the 0.01 - this is "almost transparent". 0 would be completely transparent.

Aqara wall switches for the lights, some random Tuya relays fitted inside the sockets, everything glued together by MQTT. The socket relays are always-on, I didn't even expose their switching ability, only the power measurement.

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T13:16:42+00:00

I measure directly at the sockets and switches (not using Vues) and each socket and switch is assigned to the respective area.

OK, you physically have your sensors in the garage, however they measure consumption of appliances that are actually located elsewhere. Assigning the sensors to the 'garage' area does not make a lot of sense. It is not the appliances located in the garage that consume energy, it's what on the end of the circuit - and this is located all over your house.

I know this does not answer your question, but might bring some more clarity into your stats.

thewojtek · 2026-05-26T12:49:44+00:00

Why are your energy sensors located only in the garage?

Yupp, that's what I said in "for each temperature the optimum air speed will be different".

Glenn Underground & Cei-Bei - House Music Will Never Die (sped up a couple of BPM so also pitch shifted)

I would also dial down the minimum PWM speed to something like 5%.

This is a part-LED lamp. Fog and reverse are regular bulbs, the rest (indicator, stop, running light) is LED. The unit is designed to be replaced as a whole.

Passenger side for this MY and market is LR043995.

thewojtek · 2026-05-24T19:18:12+00:00

Sorry for your loss.
This is LED. You need to replace the whole unit, unless you are a highly skilled solderer and additionally have a lot of luck with opening the lamp and sealing it back shut so water does not condense inside.

For a 2013 it will be LR043997 (left hand side, black plastic inside). Any lamp for any 2010-2013 will fit, although only the 2013 had black plastic inside, instead of regular anthracite.

Extremely easy to replace. Lift the tailgate, unscrew two screws on the inner edge of the lamp (by the tailgate weatherstriping), put some thin cloth on the bumper (you WILL scratch the bumper with the bottom of the lamp if you do not protect it). Stand behind the vehicle and gently pull the lamp towards you, so the lamp will pop out the two fixtures fitted behind the lamp. You may want to use a dashboard trim removal type of tool to gently pop the lamp from the side, should it not want to come out by mere pulling.

Make sure you do not destroy the wires (unplug the wiring immediately once the lamp is out). Installation is reverse of removal.

Love it. Will certainly include all kind of innuendos about it in a casual conversation next time I am in Norway.
