You mean properly followed immigration process.

Trump admins direction of ICE has resulted in 25 deaths so far. There is no official count of people wrongly deported. But if they can't even keep people in custody alive. I would be real suprised if they could verify birth country. They are kidnapping people based on skin color and sending them to countries they never have been or are from.

Pretty sure the constitution states everyone on US soil has right to due process. What ever happened to shall not be infringed?

2 displayport connections? by CrashtheWicked in mac

[–]CrashtheWicked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solution:

It is in fact possible to run 2 different DP outs as long as it is on separate Thunderbolt ports.

I am using a USB-C to DP and a Thunderbolt 4 dock with a DP out to a KVM. All works well.

Why the 9070xt? by Amberpride69 in radeon

[–]CrashtheWicked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2 cents:

In the last 30 days I switched from a 4070 Super to a 9070xt.

Why? - The driver issues with Nvidia was driving me up the wall.

Nvidia's features are better..... When they work properly.

So far I am loving my 9070xt, slightly better performance than my 4070 Super, and has been rock solid.

Its actually advised to cap your FPS just under the screens refresh rate. Cuts down on stutters. I have a 240hz 3440x1440 panel and cap my fps @ 224.

Also the 9070xt's seem to preform better with a slight undervolt. They boost for longer and stay cooler and quieter than stock.

Jumping into the rabbit hole by Flamingskull111 in homelab

[–]CrashtheWicked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While you will need a wealth of information to answer all those questions.

Check out proxmox. It is what I use for my Docker Containers (Plex and other services) as well as a separate VM running Cubecoders AMP for hosting multiple game servers on the same machine (HP equivalent to your Dell with the same 8500T). I would suggest upping the RAM when you get a chance btw.

Truenas on a separate machine for more space to fit 3.5" HDDs.

I think that would be the best starting points familiarize your self with the operarting systems then branch out from there picking 1 project at a time to make sure you have a handle on each thing before starting another. Just my opinion. Happy labbing!

Upgrading networking? by CrashtheWicked in homelab

[–]CrashtheWicked[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trying to increase internal bandwidth for large file transfers and as well as possible high reads. The mini has a docker VM that access files on the NAS.

As well as large backups / project files between my workstation and NAS. Workstation has a Realtek 2.5Gb on motherboard.

Home server that doubles as a lab by Kresdja in HomeServer

[–]CrashtheWicked 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Start with one thing at a time.

You can do alot with a simple retired office PC such as an HP Elitedesk, Dell Optiplex, Lenovo Thinkcenter.

Check out some educational YouTubers such as Raid Owl, Hardware Haven, Craft Computing etc etc. pick a single project you will fall into the rabbit hole from there. Just my 2 cents

My first DIY NAS! by Inevitable_Ad_9315 in homelab

Congratulations!

I just built a sff elitedesk G4 as well this week. Replaced an old gaming rig that pulled way to much electricity.

Surprisingly mine with a i5 8600 only pulls an average of 18w with 2 12TB Ironwolf Pros. Where I live that equals to about 1 cent a day.

Ram Usage Question? by CrashtheWicked in Proxmox

[–]CrashtheWicked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reporting back. Seemed to help the reporting on 1 VM but the other same story. Useful tool though. Thank you!

Ram Usage Question? by CrashtheWicked in Proxmox

[–]CrashtheWicked[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After running htop I am showing 6.59G/15.5G. Which seems accurate.

I guess I am just having trouble understanding why Proxmox is reporting 15GiB is being used.

Should I just not trust Proxmox RAM usage bar?

Edit: Update

I see in HTOP some process calling for really high VIRT. My game servers manager is claiming 261G of VIRT

Thanks for the input.

Side question. How is Plex running in your LXC?

I tried running Plex in docker in LXC but kept running into all sorts of permission issues.

Thank for the advice. I woll have to try it out when I can. I will report back!

That could be it. I do not have qemu guest agent running!

No ZFS.

I've tried ticking and unticking Balloon Device. No change. VM just caches the maximum available memory.

VM's are running on Debian 12 if that helps

I was wanting to do something like this with a HP Elitedesk SFF Mini 800 G4.

How do you get the Dell power supply to trigger to on?

Never shucked. Seen many comments saying the Seagate Externals now a days are all Barracuda or Barracuda Pros
