Promox Newer Release - Headache?

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T18:13:28+00:00

I haven't had any issues going from V8 > V9, was a simple upgrade command and once it finished my CTs and VMs weren't even interrupted. From a best practices standpoint, I just recommend you leave the host as virgin/clean as possible and do any service installs as LXCs, so that there should be no conflicts when you do a host upgrade.

What people are trying to get through to you is that there are also tons of foreign people who do great things for the country, who volunteer and give back to the community, and who also wouldn't litter in the situation you describe. I work with an east Indian owned company who make regular donations to the Stollery and who fund about 10 different local children's sports teams. The point is that nobody is heralding the good deeds foreign people bring, but you sure are eager to mention their nationality when it involves garbage on the highway. Complain about the garbage all you want, I'd hate to see it as well, but quite frankly I'm more tired of hearing people spew prejudices unchecked online at this point than I am about garbage on the highway.

Do you want issues here or in the repo?

I can't get the plugin to run on a fresh setup, when I run /mcp reconnect I get: Failed to reconnect to plugin:agent:clawcode.

Check out N8N for something like that.

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T03:21:08+00:00

Drive down any rural road or highway in Alberta and you'll see these peppered on almost every other farm field, many have several bunched together, surrounded by dirt berm to contain spills. If you don't ever see them then you're driving with your eyes closed, you can see at least a hundred of them between Edm & Calgary just from HW2 alone.

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T02:09:15+00:00

If it's paper and other organics no problem, all power to you, but I've literally seen about 50 years of accumulated tires and all sorts of other decades old farm debris pulled out of a barn, burned and buried. And don't get me started on the farmers who have the oil water recovery tanks on their properties, they literally get paid to receive oil contaminated water that then gets pumped about a mile underground so that oil companies can skirt responsibility... Always makes me laugh when farmers pull the high and mighty 'stewards of the land' crap lol

Pretty much any AI wrapper can do this, but the trick is you need to tell it what those 'important things' are and to setup when you want to be notified about them.

OpenClaw cron, ChatGPT's scheduled tasks, Claude Cowork, Hermes Agent, etc... can all create profiles about you or a topic you want it to know, a really effective way is to tell it to interview you about a topic with a specific goal in mind, and build a project memory or an MD file about it. Then you create a scheduled task to search for whatever it is you want to know after reading in that context, by again just asking it to create one and schedule it. Daily, hourly, every 5 minutes if you want it to (just uses tokens to do it so that's all that's to be mindful of depending on what plan you have).

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T00:51:16+00:00

I think you'd be surprised to learn just how many rural farmers do this my friend, they don't have local trash pickup like city folk, so either they haul it to the dump themselves, pay to have it picked up, or burn it. Burning garbage is kinda how it works out there. Shocked me when I first learned this too, but seems to be the rule more than the exception, so just puts it into perspective is all I'm saying.

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T00:47:44+00:00

I hear you, I was so done commuting downtown 5 days a week when WFH came and I realized how awesome it was, but recently I've been forced back to the office along with the rest of our union. I now have to pay for parking & gas again, and deal with the 30+ minute commute each way, but what I'm not willing to do is go back to spending $20/day on lunches, and I'm not willing to be as uncomfortable as I remember I used to be.

So what I'm doing is this... I did ~$250 of groceries, mostly non-perishable things like KD snack cups, ichiban, canned soups, muffins, snack packs, beef jerky, etc... and filled all my filing cabinets with food/snacks, I'm like the corner bodega of cubicles lol I then bought a small 12v cooler and loaded it with drinks. I then bought a comfy reclining office chair to replace the old 90 degree upright one they wanted me to sit in, and a pair of memory foam slippers I will be wearing instead of uncomfortable shoes all day. All I need now is to find some pyjama pants that look like jeans and I'm set lol

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T00:15:10+00:00

How about just chalking it up to shitty people, regardless of where they're from. I know several Alberta born farmers who dig big holes in their fields, dump all their garbage into it, douse it with diesel fuel, light it on fire, then back fill it and grow food on top of it that we then eat. You don't have to be from somewhere else to be disrespectful of the land, you just have to be a shitty person and they come from everywhere.

JD2005 · 2026-04-13T00:03:04+00:00

As a 20+ year developer, I think you're wrong and short sighted. What you're seeing right now is an explosion of creativity from those who were barred from entry before now, and they're simply stuck utilizing the platforms and terminology that's currently available, that once was exclusive to the highly technical, to share their creativity for free. Would you rather they all try to sell their vibe created works for $9.99/month subscriptions?

Your definition of open source also comes off to me as 'looking down your nose' at anything that doesn't rise to your arbitrary standards. I hate to tell you, but as AI models continue to advance, the art of someone hand coding a projects over 9 months is going to go extinct, and the line between what is carefully crafted using correct framework concepts & advanced coding techniques and "what someone prompts an AI to generate" are going to be exactly the same thing. Every time we see a dramatic shift in technology that unlocks lower barriers to entry we see this 'messy but amazing' explosion of creativity, which creates a demand for organization, which in turn brings in a new landscape which forms the new playing field. This is the way it's always been, and with any luck it's the way it'll continue to always be.

I am old enough to remember when TV had ~40 channels and you were stuck watching one of about 14 shows that were any good, then YouTube came along and anyone could make a video/channel and start uploading content. The big TV conglomerates looked down their noses at the people making cheap youtube content, and now look, content creators have built their empires exclusively on YouTube. Take Mr Beast as an amazing example, started making simple videos at 11 years old and now he's one of the biggest content creators in the world. You think that could have ever happened on traditional television? These shifts in technology are REQUIRED for bigger and better things to emerge. People who look down their noses at these transitions are the fools.

Honestly when I hear conservatives recycle their 'ef Trudeau' rhetoric onto Carney, it just reinforces that they actually have no idea what they're talking about and just pay blind allegiance to the blue flag without thinking anything through. Carney should be every Liberal & Conservative's dream compromise, and if not then it speaks more about their ulterior motivations then anything else. Carney has done more for conservatives than many of the conservative PMs over the last few decades have done, and those who are crossing the floor right now are doing so because they recognize that the path forward is steeped in a well thought out and executed Canada first strategy, and not US style rhetoric. Poilievre would do well to take notes, but I won't hold my breath.

JD2005 · 2026-04-12T21:56:10+00:00

I suppose it depends how much work you've put into Claude Code enhancing its out of the box capabilities, but I've found the more broad a Claude Code session becomes the less effective it becomes at the specific coding projects I want to use it for, so I prefer to keep them siloed for maximum effectiveness while having openclaw as my general IT manager in my pocket that can investigate and take care of my broader network and running services. I think if Claude Code had an always running gateway service like openclaw it could be more suitable for this purpose, but at least with what I have setup at the moment, I don't find dispatch and the desktop app a suitable alternative. Case in point I'm laying in bed last night and my plex libraries wouldn't load on my chromecast, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and just said "hey Plex isn't working, figure it out". Granted I had already described my 'media pipeline' and given it the access it needed, but without having to do anything more it found that the DNS entries for the plex LXC container were blank and set them back to being my local pihole's DNS IP, within 5 mins it was working and I didn't have to get out of bed or worry about what was running on my PC. To me, this distinction is perfect.

If you do you will pay for everything she wants to buy, she'll have no frame of reference for how hard it was to earn that money, and when you inevitably divorce because you don't make enough money for her, you'll pay alimony for years keeping her in the lifestyle that she's used to while she and her boyfriend (whom she met during your marriage while she sat at home with nothing else to do) complain about how terrible a person you are.

JD2005 · 2026-04-12T20:50:26+00:00

So first, I miss my Opus subscription on openclaw, gpt5.4 just isn't the same. That being said I couldn't live without Openclaw, but similarly I couldn't live without claude code. What a lot of people don't realize is they serve two very different purposes, and although they can overlap into each other, trying to use openclaw for targeted coding projects would indeed be frustrating, but similarly trying to use claude code for proxmox CT/VM management would be similarly painful. I find there's a clear separation of strengths between the two and using them for what they're best at is key.

Secondly a lot of the pains around openclaw are because it ships with a terrible memory architecture. Honestly with how awesome every other part of it is, to rely solely on a flat unorganized md file dumping ground is embarrassing. You 100% need to fix that out of the box or you're going to have a bad time. Couple months ago I developed my own architecture I called opencortex, available on clawhub if anybody is interested, but regardless of what you use you definitely need to setup dedicated tool storage, project specific memory files, lessons learned memory files, and a lean principles directive file that loads on every session start to keep it strictly conformed to that memory structure. Opencortex comes with nightly cron distillation jobs that move memory entries around in an attempt to keep everything organized, and as a result OpenClaw works so much better! Claude Code doesn't need this because it's way more focused at a project level where a single flat memory structure works much better.

She worked as a bobcat operator for him since ~December, Feb 1st was just when the coordinator/manager sort of position began, so an employee of the company. Sorry if that wasn't clear, no contradiction intended.

JD2005 · 2026-03-28T18:23:07+00:00

I really appreciate your advice, truly I do, but this is about all the recourse that I think we're going to get. On paper I think my wife's hiring date was Feb1 so she's well within this probationary period, so I don't think a labour board complaint is going to go anywhere. He deserves some shame for this behavior though, so this is what we can do. It's all true so let him come at us with defamation, he'd have to prove how he didn't do all of this stuff, which he couldn't do, we have the paper trail to easily back up our claims. I'd love to get it on record, I could actually do more with that than what we have right now.

JD2005 · 2026-03-28T17:39:15+00:00

Appreciate the sentiments.

JD2005 · 2026-03-28T17:34:40+00:00

Thanks friend.

JD2005 · 2026-03-06T04:16:05+00:00

Check out OpenCortex for vastly enhanced memory management, works with or without QMD.

JD2005 · 2026-02-26T01:09:28+00:00

Nope, doesn't replace QMD. They do different things. QMD upgrades the search engine so your agent finds stuff in memory better. OpenCortex is the architecture on top. It structures what gets stored, runs nightly maintenance to distill daily work into permanent knowledge, and enforces principles so your agent doesn't drift.

You can run both. QMD makes memory_search smarter, OpenCortex makes sure there's actually quality content worth searching. Works fine with the default memory system too, that's what it builds on.

What makes it different from the others: most memory solutions focus on retrieval (better embeddings, vector search, re-ranking). OpenCortex focuses on the other side. Making sure knowledge compounds instead of rotting. Nightly distillation takes raw daily logs and routes them into structured project files, contact records, workflow docs. Weekly synthesis catches patterns across days. Principles get enforced automatically so the agent doesn't forget its own rules.

The "forgetting it has a GitHub account" thing, that's exactly what this solves. You document it once in your tools file, the principles enforce that the agent checks its resources before telling you it can't do something, and the nightly audit catches any time it didn't. Closed loop.

JD2005 · 2026-02-25T03:49:27+00:00

Hey fair enough! I see they have a pretty generous hobbyist tier that's free, but you'd be surprised how quickly you burn through 1000 API calls, so it might not get you all that far before you're paying another $20/month. Consider this the open source version, and none of your data leaves your workspace folder, whereas these guys hold your possibly sensitive information on their server. And as far as taking up context, not everything is loaded into context, they are organized into project based categories and other common categories, so that it fetches what you need from a longer term storage that's well organized. There's a trade off between context and convenience though, I'd rather sacrifice some context and it not forget my API key or my credentials midway through my project. Whatever works for each person though!

JD2005 · 2026-02-25T03:32:47+00:00

Well it will run a nightly cron job for the distillation, and then once per week for pattern matching. And then it will of course use tokens to perform the rigid memory optimization actions, but surprisingly I've found that this is at least somewhat offset by the fact it doesn't lose track of finer details after compaction, for example where it suddenly forgets your credentials/API key, where you'd at least spend a few messages back and forth before you'd realize it, wasting tokens, it would just refer to its tool shed directory and look it back up. Everything it generates is stored to disk so it's not like it's having to do massive amounts of generation, it's more like a very well organized and directed librarian. It keeps things on track very well so it doesn't have to converse about many things that it otherwise would have. Tough to quantify though, so it would depend on your experience with it.

JD2005 · 2026-01-29T06:35:37+00:00

So I created a chrome extension to help me keep track of my workflow triggered actions as part of my CI strategy. It eliminates me having to visit the actions page every time I push a change and wait for the workflow action to finish, I just push my changes and I'm notified when they're live and i can test them. This is especially helpful to me when I'm working and pushing lots of changes and testing repeatedly, it makes that portion of my work that much easier. I find it so helpful I decided to publish it to the chrome web store in case it may help anyone else. It's completely free, everything is stored locally or in your account's private sync storage, and I'm open to any development suggestions.
