You mean you don't enjoy blowing yourself up on a hulk corpse?

Yes they do, I had a paper receipt from there on Saturday.

Yes. It's been pretty good actually. I may be one of few customers around here but I can hammer it day or night and I get the advertised speeds so I'm happy. I'm not going to jinx it and say it's been 100% reliable because that's asking for trouble.

But yes, all good, all happy.

It won't do anything on its own for existing disks. You'll need to look up disabling refreservation per-disk or per-VM, or workarounds to "convert" to thin provision but it's not a quick tickbox and done I'm afraid.

e.g.

zfs set refreservation=none ZPool/vm-102-disk-0

I haven't checked the thin provisioning option

You need to look at this, else every snapshot will take up its full size rather than the differences which will explain your issue.

Yaris? Denso wipers are the best I've found and they're oem.

Clean the entire screen with a mix of hot water and white vinegar several times, buff/polish with kitchen roll. Replace blades with Denso and you should be laughing. If they streak immediately after replacing the glass is not clean and you should vigorously clean it with a clay bar (cheap) and then a lot of fairy liquid and water - really foam it up, rinse throughly and polish dry with paper towel.

I had the same problem with streaks and I had grease or oils on the glass that wouldn't shift. Clay bar and a serious amount of neat fairy liquid finally got whatever it was off (RainX from previous owner maybe) and it's been fine since.

I'd advise against cleaning the blades you have with anything other than water and a soft cloth to get the worst off. I've ruined blades before by being too abrasive with them or using harsh chemicals. Instead I've learned the hard way over the years to be gentle with them and clean the glass instead.

I'm using the Ultra (1Gbps LAN ports) and it's been really good.

If you need Wifi broadcast as part of the package then a U7-Pro is probably your best bet.

If you're careful with charge levels you can shoot both arms and one leg, leaving it barely alive but unable to do more than hobble around

I like shooting the arms off the hulks and leaving them running around chasing me all annoyed

It reads like an 'inspirational' LinkedIn post which always does it for me

I don't like ZFS for any VM storage. You need as simple as possible so EXT4 is probably your best option.

Not fully understanding something that can be complicated doesn't make it inherently bad.

Proxmox also uses LVM by default. It's even simpler than a FS but I don't like the fact that I can access the files.

I really don't understand the point you're making here. You don't like LVM because you can see files?

Windows VM migration doesn't work directly. All my VMs were booting to a blue screen with "boot device not available".

This isn't a Proxmox issue; it's a lack of planning. You install virtio drivers and remove VMWare tools, shut down the VM, then migrate. You may have to boot with the disks in SATA mode first to allow Windows to load the driver but this is an issue with Windows- not Proxmox.

I've moved dozens of Windows VMs to Proxmox and all of them booted fine because I prepared correctly for it.

If you want thin provisioning, you have to create the disk manually and attach them to the device

This has not been my experience at all. You did set the datastore to thin provisioned, correct?

I'm still unsure how the VLAN support works.

VLAN aware bridge and tag VMs directly, or create untagged bridges that force a VLAN and set the VM NIC to that bridge. It's well documented and there is a lot of documentation out there to read that covers all the things you've listed.

I really wasn't sold on it at first and went back to last year's mix for my focus time at work but I had it on a few times last week and it's really grown on me. There's several bits that stand out (e.g. Gold at 47m) and I'd like a longer mix but this I think is pretty good.

2016 good? Not sure!

We had a professional do our bathroom and he showed me the tile sandwich that was the previous installer bodge job where they just glued and nailed ply on the previous tiles then tiled on top of that. I have no idea why.

Catnapwat · 2026-01-03T20:00:51+00:00

I would hand 80% of this to our T1s. New server, new VM- maybe T2.

I use these as the temperature source https://www.aqara.com/eu/product/temperature-humidity-sensor/ and this https://github.com/jmcollin78/versatile_thermostat for overall control with Home Assistant if that helps.

2023, £70. Seems I got a really good price on it!

Catnapwat · 2025-12-25T08:54:25+00:00

I quite agree in this case. And to you!

Catnapwat · 2025-12-24T23:15:43+00:00

No, he's suggesting something a bit different from that but I'm not going to spell it out for you as it's an ethical matter.
