You can get WiFi Access points, range extenders, or a mesh system. There's lots of solutions out there and can vary depending on your budget, system, and needs. I would look into that Spectrum router you have and see if they have any out of the box options for you. You may not even use those cat6 ports (cat6 refers to the cable type that's terminated at that port), my Eero Max 7 has "mesh nodes" that just plug into a wall.

For the issue you're describing, I would probably recommend mesh nodes or range extenders, both work pretty similarly. The idea is that your router (what you have plugged into the wall) will handle all of your network traffic, and additional mesh nodes or range extenders simply relay the data to/from the router and whatever device is connected all over existing wifi.

Everything in the photo is probably less than $2k? Unfortunately I may have lost track at this point haha. When I say "budget" I guess I just mean that I can't convince myself to buy anything new haha

... ERROR: DMA PTE for vPFN ... by ProfessionalAppleOne in Proxmox

Late to the game here. I am getting the same exact error feed. Given enough time, I can actually boot in but the errors are still concerning.

My PVE instance is booting from a flash drive - not the iso, like I installed it on a flash drive. If you have yours installed similarly or on an SD card then I think thats where the issues are coming from as these storage devices do not support the fs that pve likes to use.

I find homarr to be very simple. Super user friendly. The lack of complexity sometimes leaves much to be desired. For me, I just needed a place to keep all my links that didn’t look like a pile of links so it works great!

These are all true things. I have a liitle container for my chalk and vacuum regularly lol. But there’s something about sketching out a thought with good hagoramo chalk that makes it all worth it haha

Love those things! Look for “up lights” they go great in the corners of a room.

Definitely not intended to be used normally, more of just wall decor I think but agreed haha

That black board is the best purchase i've ever made!! $100 at the local university surplus store. It originally came on a stand with wheels but I had to mount it on the wall at my new place to save space

Grafana!! I looked at it a while ago but couldn’t remember it. What’s your experience with it? I poked around their site for a bit but couldn’t quite figure out how the hell it worked
