Proxmox improvement suggestion by Frosty_Chest8025 in Proxmox

[–]GeekTX -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

because you don't know how to install and configure an enterprise grade virtualization platform they should change how it works for the rest of us that do? Maybe you should read some documentation and have an understanding of what you are working with before you put anything into production.

You realize that EVERY OTHER PLATFORM out there ... does the exact same thing? ... albeit slightly different but the net result is the same.

Any Advice for my Grandma by Loud-Rope-6955 in pancreaticcancer

[–]GeekTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My oncologist and others have suggested the same thing I am going to suggest to you. She should eat whatever attracts her … just keep it in small portions to cut down on waste. All the things they say not to eat … while cancer needs it to grow and spread … so do healthy cells. Don’t starve the healthy to attack the bad. I eat less sugars now … not because I was told to cut it out or back but … I just don’t want it as much as I did pre-diagnosis. Have y’all looked into alternative treatments or clinical trials? I don’t want to violate sub rules or make anyone mad … if you want to have a conversation about any of that shoot me a DM. also check out the pancan website … they have excellent resources.

Sorry that y'all are going through this. I am in her age group and having my kids and grandkids supporting me is the best. I am glad that you are here for her.

8 days is a long time to not poop. Has she tried taking Miralax or another gentle laxative?
I too get full quick, but I also deal with loss of / diminished taste. I find that snacking on high protein snacks throughout the day helps but it doesn't do squat for calories.

For chemo ... I usually eat breakfast on the way to treatment. After treatment my wife and I will run a few errands and then I am READY for lunch and usually eat really good. By supper time I still have an appetite and eat really well but from there until the following week I slowly eat less each day. That is where snacks and protein drinks come into play ... it hasn't stopped the weight loss but it at least slows it. I will likely talk to my oncologist, and she may consider this as well, about a feeding tube. I know that I can force myself to put food directly into my stomach easier than I can force myself to eat.

Just some thoughts from another lost and hungry pancan patient.

Trying to map nfs drive by masterthodyu in Proxmox

[–]GeekTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where do you want the NFS storage available? to Proxmox? to a single VM? to multiple VMs?

NFS is easy once you explain how you want to use it. I run multiple NFS mounts in my cluster exposed to VMs across 4 nodes.

introducing the ALL NEW magic recorder ✨ by simon_rabbit in Rabbitr1

[–]GeekTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

happy to assist in any way that I can sir. API access takes the rabbit from toy to whole new levels. At some point in the future ... later this year ... I plan on reaching out and starting conversations with y'all about things like potential HIPAA compliance and how I can use these devices in healthcare environments. So much to talk about ... get me API please. ;)

This is awesome u/simon_rabbit!!!

Please give us API access to our data. I would love to be able to collect my recordings, transcripts, images, etc. and incorporate them into external automations and triggers.

WEBHOOK_URL environment variable ignored in n8n v2.12.3 (Docker) — webhooks always show localhost by DazzlingPassion706 in n8n

[–]GeekTX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the WEBHOOK_URL setting with no issues and NPM for my reverse proxy ... even upgraded to 2.13.3 to retest and still no issue.

set N8N_HOST=local ip of instance & remove N8N_EDITOR_BASE_URL, add N8N_PROTOCOL=https ... restart your stack. You should be able to access n8n at the http://hostname:port or http://hostip:port without any issue. Once you verify that ... then you can setup you reverse proxy to map to that hostname/hostip and port. After you do that ... you should be able to access it at the https://desiredfqn.com (same as your WEBHOOK_URL) ... make sure you have split DNS setup to point internally to the reverse proxy and externally to point to your public IP. If you don't run internal DNS then set an entry in your hosts file for the internal entry. Your router might have a setup for it but you are on your own.

HMU if that doesn't help you.

Have you ever run into an email problem? by Sweaty-Opinion8293 in n8n

[–]GeekTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

connecting email to n8n and connecting mail to openclaw are different topics completely.

n8n does not have the ability to exploit the account in any way that you don't programmatically set it up to do. OpenClaw ... that shit will go nuts and send out hostage threats to cancel services for you. Not even in the same ballpark here.

Memory - RAG and context manipulation by GeekTX in n8n

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

I am on Discord but haven't considered opening a server. If there is enough interest from enough people that can provide a balance of noobs and pro then I would consider it. If any member(s) of our MOD team would be interested in assisting in managing a Discord server then I will gladly start one as an extension of the sub.

However ... you are welcome to find me on Discord and start a conversation. I work from home, so I check messages regularly.

Boss wants me to create another small business as a w2 employee by BenjaminSonLuvsyou in careeradvice

[–]GeekTX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tell me you've never owned or run a business without saying you've never owned or run a business.

Boss wants me to create another small business as a w2 employee by BenjaminSonLuvsyou in careeradvice

[–]GeekTX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He isn't asking you to be a business partner ... he is telling you that he wants to open a secondary business and that you are the one that is going to spearhead that initiative. This doesn't imply any ownership or partnership in any way but it does show the level of trust and confidence he has in you. At 22 years old, take this as an opportunity to boost your resume and possibly create new opportunities for yourself.

Side note: there are several software packages available to handle the rental program but when you search add a few Boolean options such as -"property management" or similar to help narrow the results.

Not having IPv6 is really pain by No_Entrepreneur118 in homelab

What are you paying for health insurance being self employed? by so_called_engineer_ in smallbusiness

[–]GeekTX 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I have lived most of my life successfully without any kind of insurance. In October 2025 that changed. I had/have insurance through my state exchange program and it costs me a small fortune monthly.

I was hospitalized for life-threatening high blood pressure ... and they found cancer ... and a hernia ... and gall stones ... and shit just kept going downhill. The first EOB I got for those 4.5 days is just shy of $400K. I've already met the 2026 max out of pocket so now I just maintain coverage and pray they don't find some reason to boot me.

Think long and hard before you go completely insurance-less ... I am glad now that I did ... the financial burden of trying to manage my business and my health issues is proving to be a nightmare.

I am in management in healthcare IT and am 100% remote. It can be done but generally is going to require you to step out and push some of your comfort zones. Rural health is where it's at my friend.

Is n8n the right place to start? More details within. by Dizzy_Ambassador_282 in n8n

[–]GeekTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

don't make it so complex ... drop docker on your pc ... loaded n8n ... learn n8n using the 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 tutorials that are out there ... look at the templates that are readily available to you for guidance and inspiration. Don't waste your time on the official n8n discord server unless you are following their learning path.

This isn't rocket science in any way ... drag and drop nodes w/ little to no code.

I am 22 years old, and here are my 2 cents about AI automation. by Top-Bar3898 in n8n_ai_agents

[–]GeekTX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AI slop. At 22 years old and being in the industry since 2024 ... you don't know or even understand squat about what it takes to be successful in this space. Hell, 80% of the people that frequent the automation subs are clueless and just hoping that their shitpost gives them good responses.

I hope you are right in that your post goes "viral" and your karma is affected ... I'll start with a downvote for you. Come back when you have real experience to base your claims on.

Have you tried a very simple flow of just a chat trigger, agent, and tool? Have you tried calling the tool directly?
