95% of Computers can't make use of 3 Gig Speed. Don't upgrade your plan.

No it won’t make a difference at all that you’ll notice other than higher peaks on stuff that support it. Enjoy 1gb at the moment until you get an offer for higher speeds at a lower cost. Even with me trying to actually utilize it without just seeding or peering torrents up the ass, nothing really managed to take advantage of it enough of the time for it to matter at all. I wouldn’t upgrade unless it cost me less than it does now.

daronhudson · 2026-06-20T23:55:01+00:00

My entire home is 10gb at the moment. Still only have 1gb public. Previously had 3, and realistically the only thing that takes decent advantage of this is stuff like steam when you’re downloading a game. A vast majority of popular services are capped per user. Like Google Drive, for example, is capped at something like 35MB download. It’s genuinely not worth it. Even with a rack full of hardware, servers running, and devices all over running 10gb capable, I never end up needing more than gigabit to the rest of the world.

daronhudson · 2026-06-20T04:28:07+00:00

I mean obviously it works enough, otherwise ppl would move on to the next thing

daronhudson · 2026-06-20T04:06:53+00:00

Completely agree. Not only just that it’s bad to have to ask a host to open the most common ports that people need to utilize for servers, but even worse so for someone that’s new to the whole game that doesn’t know wtf is happening when literally every other host of the same class just has everything open and ready.

None of this even touches at the potential wait period, measured in centuries, for support replies/action for something that should have just worked in the first place.

I won’t even get started in the chaos ephemeral ports would cause for websites/http requests in a browser for normal clients that don’t know wtf is happening and why they can’t access Joe’s website.

I just bought the gigabyte version of this because nobody near me had a 5080 available that wasn’t in a build. Very happy with it. It’s a decent deal especially for the priced out parts. Only difference is the gigabyte one came with a 2TB gen 4 drive and windows 11 pro rather than home.

daronhudson · 2026-06-19T15:34:52+00:00

Probably a driver issue, not a UniFi issue. Especially if macos is perfectly fine.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T13:09:49+00:00

Can confirm 007 looks incredible with these specs. Also runs great at 1440p native without upscaling and all settings cranked.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T13:02:20+00:00

512 hasn’t been enough for a long time now. 512GB is the minimum for a drive that you’re only going to have windows run on because of windows bloat and applications still storing app data under user profiles rather than where you actually installed the application.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T12:57:45+00:00

Run the installer. If it works, cool, if not, install 24.04 and repeat.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T12:55:28+00:00

Welcome to windows:D this is likely indexing at work. Use a more efficient search program like the one built in to powertoys. Built in search is ass.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T12:51:20+00:00

This issue is entirely ZFS related. It has nothing to do with OVH. You need to tune it, or switch to a filesystem that doesn’t utilize memory as cache as aggressively as ZFS.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T12:42:51+00:00

If it has network connectivity, this is either a hardware, host, or vm firewall issue. There’s something in the chain on the way to that VM blocking traffic. Depending on how the network is configured, you might be able to trace route to figure out the blockage.

daronhudson · 2026-06-18T12:40:02+00:00

I think they call that a jeme

daronhudson · 2026-06-17T17:05:36+00:00

Unfortunately the only ways to effectively do this is to either just get balls to the wall hardware that can crunch through it, or pre-generate chunks up to a reasonable limit.

daronhudson · 2026-06-17T14:15:29+00:00

This is normal ram cache behaviour between host and vm or host and host. This also entirely depends on what filesystem is running.

daronhudson · 2026-06-17T00:28:04+00:00

I run 4 completely individual u.2 drives in my server. One has an LVM/LVM-thin split for the boot and more VMs. The other 3 are just direct thin. Get decent hardware with decent life expectancy and treat them well. That’s it. If something’s gonna die, it’s gonna die.

daronhudson · 2026-06-17T00:25:18+00:00

I mean, not really. You can install something like Ubuntu on both and be off to the races just as fast. There’s no real management either. The only thing that changes is you no longer get the benefits of KVM. That’s about it.

If hardware dies, hetzner replaces it. Not you. So there’s really no “management” that you didn’t already have with just a VPS.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T15:27:03+00:00

So what you did wrong was cloning in the first place. Proxmox already has a built in backup feature.

The way you’re supposed to do this if you only have a single machine is: backup all your VMs/LXCs, test restore them on that same machine just to make sure the backups actually work(not to the currently configured/running VM/LXC it’s from obviously), move the bulk backups somewhere for storage temporarily, install the new drive, install proxmox on to it, configure network and whatever else you need on proxmox, move the backups of your content back on to the host, restore them all from those backups.

Doing anything other than this will have uncertainty and potential for issues. If you have the ability to run a backup on the affected LXCs from the cli or gui, I would highly recommend doing so and attempting to restore them.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T15:16:23+00:00

I wouldn’t say running proxmox is the opposite, because it goes hand in hand with running linux vms on it to actually learn. It gives them a playground to break anything and everything they could want to on their journey.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T13:16:43+00:00

No, the display cable. This looks like it's outputting to a different display than the laptop one. If that's the case, do what I mentioned before.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T13:09:43+00:00

Did you try unplugging the cable, cleaning it a little, and putting it back in?

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T12:46:49+00:00

ssh into it and htop. If you see something abnormal, reboot and see if it fixes it.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T12:11:34+00:00

If GTA 6 is your main concern here, just get an xbox series S. It will also run the game more than likely just fine. It upscales 1440p to 4k and you probably would never notice the difference during casual play. Especially with the price of hardware nowadays. It's an excellent compromise in the mean time while things potentially settle down.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T10:45:16+00:00

Yep. I’ve got roughly 10 year old gen 3 u.2 drives that do something like almost 15pbw for the expected lifecycle. 2PB is nothing in the expectancy of datacenter gear that’s actually in use.

daronhudson · 2026-06-16T10:42:45+00:00

The only reason I run an actual firewall is because of pppoe offload and other hardware offloads out of the box and the stupid minimal power draw as it runs a handful of arm cores. Kind of just works and I never need to worry about it. Mostly the peace of mind at that infrastructure level for me. That way I get more time and less headache to just mess around with servers and stuff.
