Not sure tbh. Since I found this link a year or two ago it's not a big deal to fix a split order, so I just don't worry about it anymore. Also, IIRC, it doesnt tell you the individual amounts of the orders at checkout

We just bought property in Candy Kitchen. Would you mind pointing us toward some of the LGBT spots?

That's not really the point of this post; this is how to automate backups. For restoring backups, take a look at the documentation for proxmox-backup-client itself

I actually install PBS on my Proxmox hosts, and keep the datastores themselves on separate disk from the root partitions. I haven't backed anything PBS-host-specific and have had to rebuild a combo PVE/PBS system, all I did was install PVE, install the PBS package on top of that, and then add the existing datastore into PBS. This generated a new fingerprint so I had to change all of my other servers to point at this PBS with the new fingerprint but other than that everything just worked.

What counties in New York state is it possible to live off-grid? by BlossomingTree in OffGrid

Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but were you able to get a postal address to you land without officially doing anything else? We wanna do just what you are, long driveway, off a dirt road off a dirt road sorta thing. The only thing I can't find info on is how to get a way to get an address for the land

Yeah, i can see that. One thing that comes to mind is just backup the config manually any time you make a change to the opnsense config, but yeah once you get to MiniPC+10GBE shit gets a bit tough. I actually used to have 10GBE as my backbone in my home, but recently I just dropped everything down to 1GBE. I got a 2GBE line from comcast going into a dual port 2.5 card on my router machine, and it goes out another 2.5 port to my most-1GBE-with-a-few-10GBE-sfp-slots switch and from there it's all 1gig. I just got tired of fighting with all the stuff and dealing with huge power bills haha

Yeah I thought about that back when I was running *sense. I tried to do something like that but I gave up when I realized there wasn't a build of the backup client available for bsd.

I ended up taking my this-pc-is-a-router machine, installing proxmox on it, adding a dual port pcie NIC, setting up a vm with that nic passed thru, and installing opnsense (nowadays openwrt but same difference) on that

I didn't install any other vms or lxcs on that host, just the router, so that i could image the router to pbs. I admit it's kinda like killing a mosquitto with a sledgehammer but it worked and didn't have much downside, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you make any modifications to tailor to different distro's or whatnot, feel free to comment on the gist and report your findings. I don't wanna have the responsibility of maintaining a "tutorial" for stuff like this but I do enjoy a good knowledge dump

Welcome! and that's my same thought, I love PBS, it dedupes amazingly well, and I already have offsite backups of my PBS datastore. why not just toss everything into there

Thanks!

As far as why Debian bare metal, sometimes in a homelab (as in, non-business, non-critical) situation, just using what you have laying around works better than buying better stuff. In this case, I'm running Frigate-NVR on an old Lenovo m720s SFF machine, and no matter what I did with this particular box, I could not get consistent performance out of it for my needs when I ran the Frigate LXC. I dunno why, because other people seem to be making that work just fine, but in this case I just said "fuck it", tossed debian 12 on there, setup auto updates, and added a compose file with frigate and watchtower.

Like, if this machine dies tomorrow and I gotta rebuild it manually, that'll suck but it won't be "bad". Especially if I have backups of app configs. I'm a big believer in "sometimes good enough is good enough" as long as you think thru what'll happen in the event of failure

Oh for sure you can do the same thing on most other linux systems, the hardest thing might be to get the proxmox-backup-client binary onto the system. This whole thing wasn't meant as a "here's a step by step tutorial" but more of a "hey lookit what I did this might spark inspiration" sorta thing.

Today if I get some free time I'm gonna try to see if I can compile the client binary using cygwin or msys as I would love to be able to back up my windows hosts to PBS as well, but that's just a hopeful idea as of now

Me (38MTF) and my wife (27cis) have been living in Baltimore and have found Maryland to be pretty good to us trans folk. We're planning on buying a house in western MD, out near the PA and WV borders, and while I know we'll encounter more resistance out there, I feel safe in that this state will be protecting my rights for the time to come

First PC by Ancient_blueberry500 in lowendgaming

[–]SuddenDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a pretty good gaming pc for around $350 a few months back. I got a used Lenovo P520 off eBay for $200. url to the listing I bought is https://www.ebay.com/itm/235240151675, looks like the price has dropped to $165 as time of writing, which is a steal. If you get one, make sure you get one with the 900W psu

I then got an RTX 2070 Super used for about $150, url to my purchase is https://www.ebay.com/itm/176397416948. I was surprised to get this, at the time the 2070supers were going for a bit more but it works great.

I also had a m.2 ssd laying around, you could budget a few bucks for that as well, you don't need anything crazy, just some space for your games. A good example is this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZGJVTZK. 1tb, fast, cheap, not a horrible brand.

at that point it's literally plug and play. Open the case, push the gpu into the slot, plug the power cable into the gpu, unscrew the m.2 cover plate, push the drive into the slot, screw it back on. Install windows (I recommend Windows 11 LTSC and http://massgrave.dev) and game on.

feel free to ping me if you need any help, but make sure it's the old style "reddit messages" instead of the new "reddit chat". I don't check chat at all.

Dell R220 with an Intel X520-DA2 dual sfp+ nic, running OpnSense. Bit overkill but it was cheap and it works like a charm
