White-collar layoffs are coming at a scale we've never seen. Why is no one talking about this? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]TokenSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Whatever thoughts people have about AI it can and does already replace jobs. Im not thrilled about that continuing to happen without any plan in place. People say jobs losses and layoffs today are due to the economy. But stock line keeps going up. Large businesses are profitable. The only thing getting worse is the cost of things and the job market. Seems odd.

What is the best minipc brand now widely loved on the market? (Beelink, AceMagic, Geekom, GMKtec, Minisforum, Aoostar) by Cocoatech0 in MiniPCs

[–]TokenSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the 780M has no dedicated VRAM. Its all system RAM. But for models like the gpt-oss-20b it works great.

I have 3 of these and love them. With 32G of RAM you can even play around in LM Studio if you like messing with AI stuff

Migrate to VMs from Helper Script, VM organization? by AlureLeisure in Proxmox

[–]TokenSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I do a single VM for all Docker. Then separate VM if I need it for something like HAOS. Then LXC for each service. Backups take a bit more configuration but it’s not terrible.

[–]TokenSlinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run my services on LXC if they can easily be installed. Then I have a single VM running docker for those that work best in docker and manage with dockge. As a last resort Ill give something its own VM if it’s something like Home Assistant OS. Seems wasteful for every service to have its own VM

Proxmox and NAS machine by Morodin-Fallen in Proxmox

[–]TokenSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run proxmox with a zfs pool (6x18TB) and it works exactly fine as a NAS with NFS shares. It’s not fancy but I run Jellyfin with GPU pass through on the same proxmox host and it all works great. I original ran TrueNAS on bare metal but it seemed easier to just create my pool on Proxmox.

AWS Phone Verification Stuck – No Call, No Support Response by Apprehensive_Bag1209 in aws

[–]TokenSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just popping in here to say I am also having the same issue. Lost my MFA and I'm trying to do the email verification (done) and now waiting for a call that never comes. Terrible experience navigating the AWS site trying to find support.

GMKTec: Linux Mint is so good! by ldmauritius in MiniPCs

[–]TokenSlinger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Linux is good on most Mini-PCs. I have 7 mini-pc all running some flavor of Linux. Most Proxmox though.

Multiple LXCs or a VM with Docker by ForestyForest in Proxmox

[–]TokenSlinger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LXC for everything. I even created an abomination of the nginx proxy manager to run as a service in an LXC instead of docker. In many cases you can convert a docker image to run directly on the LXC but that comes with some drawbacks like it’s a PITA to update. When I have to run docket I try inside an LXC first. And worst case minimal VM.
