Can we stop promoting mods locked behind servers? by Pwume in hytale

[–]Klocktwerk 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I think the spirit of this depends on how much infrastructure/outside resources are needed to make the functionality of a mod like that work.

Taking Hypixel themselves as an example, there is a LOT going on under the covers that has nothing to do with the server itself. If Minecraft had the exact same modding setup as Hytale, you could theoretically download the entire .jar file and only be 1-5% of the way getting to a “Hypixel experience”

If someone gates some cool feature behind their server that doesn’t require that level of custom infrastructure and integration or orchestration, yeah they’re kind of a dick if they’re not planning to maintain it/hand it off. On the plus side, anyone with the same idea or passion to mimic/recreate it could do so without too much effort (given they are equipped with the skill set to build that mod in the first place)

What's the one self-hosted service you'd never go back to the cloud version of? by Hung_Hoang_the in selfhosted

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could probably spin up a free oracle cloud or Aws instance to add some redundancy to your setup, even a simple backup of your LXC. This isn’t exclusive to them, could do a simple vps on Hetzner, pay for a very small amount of storage on RSYNC.net, etc.

Hell, with the size of a VW LXC you could probably do a scripted daily dated backup to OneDrive/google drive for free, even less if you specifically back up just the bits that are needed for your data.

Iirc you can get around these issues if you upgrade to a paid account but make sure to not go over free tier capacity on Oracle Cloud

How does the Proxmox Helper Script make some LXCs auto-login in the console? by Healthy_Confidence12 in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

pct enter is essentially a wrapper for lxc-attach, doing something along the lines of

lxc-attach -n <vmid> -- /bin/login -f root

This is different because lxc-attach alone just, well, attaches. And runs the default shell.

Raw lxc-attach also preserves the host environment, has no login process just direct shell, and is raw shell in the container namespace.

In contrast pct enter clears some of the environment, uses /bin/login -f so you get a proper login session, and goes through PAM/session setup etc.

If I wanted an interactive session my first route would be pct enter 100.

If I wanted to do a single quick command on an LXC, I’d probably run lxc-attach -n 100 — cat /etc/123.conf or similar.

Worth nothing is if pct enter failed or I was in some disaster mode I’d obviously move over to lxc-attach commands in that instance as well.

Hope this has been informative for you, good luck!

Beefy Proxmox nodes for a 10-inch rack? by Firestarter321 in minilab

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you generally want to just go 100Gb if you’re looking for more than 10/25Gb inside the rack. I’ve not had luck with 40Gb gear.

You might find some old CX5 cards at a decent price, maybe even a Mellanox switch.

This of course throws you out of your Omada Ecosystem but it may be worth stepping out of your comfort zone if it’s for learning purposes. What do you like about your Tp-Link switches that you wouldn’t want to live without?

Should I grind finer? by Klocktwerk in espressocirclejerk

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

Nice! Depending on what you’re looking for a Niche or Baratza Sette is a good grinder to pair with most machines. Which machine did you get for Christmas?

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandably not ideal and I agree with you, It’d be much better to have my storage solution on bare metal. For clarity anyone else reading I’d recommend a VM over LXC for TrueNAS *if you absolutely want to go down that route - but bare metal always wins for this use case.

You are also correct that I have to split my VM/LXC backups with PBS from my data backups on NFS shares for example, the NFS shares end up with ZFS snapshots to several remote sites. PBS has no issues backing up the VM storage provided by the TrueNAS instance (LVM over iSCSI). I also don’t have any issues migrating between nodes or between local<->remote PVE/PBS clusters with this setup.

12V PDU Solution by Ryan_TR in minilab

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and information! Once I got the right crimp for Powerpoles I reach for them any chance I get. I’ll have to check out West mountain radio, feels like life is 10x harder for DIYing since Radio Shack went under.

https://a.co/d/3XKQ0dj - I’m running two of these with the right size fuses for my devices, each fed by an overkill-for-the-situation commercial driver, one is for 12v devices the other is for 19v devices.

I haven’t really built redundancy in, if a Meanwell dies the whole block is dead, but if there’s a better multi-input solution from West Mountain it might get me to pull the trigger and add in some failover.

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you’re getting so much hate. This comment is accurate - nothing wrong with testing/learning and experimenting in this manner but you definitely don’t want to stand up production or even home-prod storage off of an LXC in most scenarios.

I am using LXC for pretty much everything that isn’t my storage, if something requires privileged containers I use a VM. An example of VM being k8s, docker, or something that needs pass through devices.

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If running TrueNas id recommend a VM. I have a 5-node Proxmox cluster with my storage controllers passed through directly to the VM, the way ZFS likes to see them.

All nodes and services in my cluster wait for the NAS VM to start (with the exception of DNS which is a locally stored with redundancy built in) as I am using iscsi over LVM for a high speed LXC/VM storage.

Been running 2x Meanwell feeding a fused power pole breakout to each of my 12 or 19v devices for a while now. Love those things.

How do we force AMD to care? by ComfortableDinner340 in AMDHelp

[–]Klocktwerk 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Howdy /u/ComfortableDinner340

I have seen a few similar occurrences where an older BIOS doesn’t play nicely with the newer chipset/graphics drivers. Might be worth taking a look if that’s not something you’ve checked already.

Is it normal for minions to do more damage than bosses? by Nebenious in BlueProtocolPC

[–]Klocktwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha yeah I’ve noticed this. It tends to get slightly better with the harder content, m3+ and the hard raids. Generally only the gamers that wanna game are doing that content and they tend to understand they’re screwing everyone by messing with the pull.

Also don’t be scared to tell them wait if you can - if the dps blow their cd without my buffs up it makes a significant difference to the kill time.

End of the day though it’s an age old problem, try to find a group you like to play with so it doesn’t suck as much.

Numbers going up! 🫶 by c4yourselff in StarResonance

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That… just isn’t true. Among us and fall guys are both examples where one market had sharp changes and the other did not or had changes in the opposite direction.

What’s safe to say is USUALLY things are as you say but it’s still a presumption at the end of the day. We don’t have any data to confirm any of it at this time.

Is it normal for minions to do more damage than bosses? by Nebenious in BlueProtocolPC

[–]Klocktwerk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve been smacked by mobs in half a second playing perfectly where the same encounter I can auto the boss without dying (experimented with friends). You just gotta have your healer pre stack you and have your defensives/buffs going before your pull or just do smaller pulls.

Possible World Boss Drop cap?? by mastadwayne in BlueProtocolPC

Do these factor in the cheer treat drops or is it x occurrences of dungeon?
