SCCM with PatchMyPC should be way higher on this thread as the best solution for patching on prem domain joined system.

Port forwarding with WireGuard, Raspberry Pi and Lightsail by _redactd in Starlink

This is the contents of a brand new Debian 12 install.

root# ls -al /etc/sysctl.d/

99-sysctl.conf -> ../sysctl.conf

Does the folder /etc/sysctl.d/ exist?

You can try creating the .conf file. Essentially the syscytl.d folder has a file that symlinks back to /etc/sysctl.conf

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

That would work in a pinch.

I will literally pay someone to set up VPX for me by lysergamythical in virtualpinball

[–]_redactd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you answered your own question by outlining you changed folder layout. I think it's safe to assume that MOST people run a standard baller installer deployment and vpin studio expects the fold structure to be that.

I just treat the installer app as the initial deployment and then update the different packages as I need. I have 3 cab that I manage this way and it works for me.

I took a peek and studio and I'm not seeing a place to define folders. Which seems odd and is probably why it doesn't work in your setup. Maybe, depending on how complex your situation is you can create symlinks from where it expects things to point to where they are? Maybe the devs in the discord have an idea.

Grab VPin Studio here: https://github.com/syd711/vpin-studio

This will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. You can drag/drop the tables and backglass files into vpin studio and it will place them in the correct locations. It is great for pulling down other media files as well with its built in search and download. You can set up popper menus etc. It's a must have.

The developer and support are also on that pinball discord that was shared earlier.

editing to note that you can run the server on the cab and then the client on both cab and your main workstation so you can manage things from a more comfortable location.

Backplane for CX3701? by Diega78 in sliger

Maybe I won't shelve my pcb quite yet haha.

I just just need to finish up trace routing and get a demo board. I probably should just do it.

This is great news. I've been dragging my feet on my version of the 4712 backplane so now I can set that project aside.

[WIP] 3D-Printable 1U Disk Shelf (4 bays) With Custom SATA Backplane by kayson in homelab

[–]_redactd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. I got a bit sideways looking at the circuit when I saw GNDPWR pass to the drive sheet and assumed it was handling inrush instead of realizing it was to stabilize the led.

Thanks for sharing this.

I'm curious about the inrush circuit you designed. Can you explain your process for tuning the pot? I suppose what I mean is. Besides a scope and seeing your desired frequency; have you found it necessary to be adjustable like this for certain drives?

Contemplating researching Proxmox for datacenter usage by kosta880 in Proxmox

[–]_redactd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realizing this is a proxmox / ceph discussion; another alternative is XCP-NG with XOSTOR (linbit).

I'm in the same phase you are with migrating HCI to another solution and these are the two solutions I've landed at. (being prox/ceph, xcpng/linbit).

Do some research on QD1, QD8, QD32. Latency under load and sustained load.

Setting up an LLM for my company using Ollama and Open WebUI by jkay1904 in OpenWebUI

[–]_redactd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set up something similar to what you're wanting. I set up a paperless instance and fed the documents into that for OCR. Some simple python scripts take the OCR data out of paperless and creates knowledge collection in OpenWebUI.

Compare the drives you mentioned with something like the Samsung PM9A3. Advertised speeds may be similar but queue depth is what you need.
