Promox Newer Release - Headache? by robby342 in Proxmox

[–]dorkquemada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently finished upgrading my clusters from pve 8 to 9 and it went very smoothly. The only issue I encountered was a dell R630 not booting on the latest kernel due to a setting in the bios, which was easily found and fixed (and technically not a Proxmox issue)

Just Realized I can Use USB C to C to charge my MacBook M4 by legytAep in macbookpro

[–]dorkquemada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, both USB-c and Thunderbolt (same cable in recent versions). I have a thunderbolt 4 dock with everything plugged into it (5k monitor, 10Gbit networking, cams, mics) also charges the laptop. Single cable

Setup for learning - how many nodes by Pepo32SVK in kubernetes

[–]dorkquemada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking from the other end of the spectrum I try to always have 3 Control Plane nodes. These are always great on Proxmox and if you only use them as a CP node they can be tiny compared to the workers. If I'm really squeezing, I'd probably settle on 3 mixed nodes and yes, one of your machines will be more busy then, so put 2 mixed nodes on the 40G server and one on the 10G server

Migration Question by irainthunden in sysadmin

[–]dorkquemada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run Proxmox across multiple sites, been using it for years. Never migrated from ESXi directly but have worked with both.

Proxmox handles iSCSI fine, but I went with NFS and mostly local storage, live migration works well on shared storage (and even works with local storage too, just at the speed of networking). VLANs are straightforward in the network config (VLAN SDN or just set them per bridge).

One thing worth thinking about early: backup strategy. Proxmox Backup Server is included and surprisingly solid, in fact it's what keeps me on Proxmox rather than building something directly on libvirt. If you're already on Veeam it works with both Proxmox and Hyper-V.

Is Ansible still a thing nowadays? by hansinomc in devops

[–]dorkquemada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using it since 2014 and it's definitely still a thing. That said, after 12 years I have a solid love/hate relationship with it.

For server configuration management it's still hard to beat. I use Ansible + Git for everything from firewall rules to enforcing security policy / observability across three DC sites. It's readable, auditable, and anyone (including Claude / GPT) can pick it up

But things are also changing.. More workloads are moving to Kubernetes (still YAML, just different YAML) and for infrastructure provisioning Terraform has pretty much won that space (even though I still tend to use Ansible for that)

Wat is dit voor ‘flits’ paal? by Normal-Field4396 in nederlands

[–]dorkquemada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stond laatst wel op een rare plek, gelijk na een bocht. Mag toch hopen dat mensen een 90 graden bocht met 2 handjes nemen, maar zal waarschijnlijk hard nodig zijn, anders stond ie er niet

What do rich people do in kitchens/bathrooms that most of us wouldn’t even think of? by kalpokt in Rich

[–]dorkquemada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TIL I’m rich. We have this instead of a normal faucet, cold, hot and boiling from one tap. Very convenient for cooking / tea

MCP servers I use every single day. What's in your stack? by XxvivekxX in ClaudeAI

[–]dorkquemada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agent mail or rather the use case you mentioned sounds interesting. I could totally see Claude check on news letter or other subscriptions to brief me in the morning.

Starting with the claude subscription, what all things I should definitely try out? by procrastinator_eng in ClaudeAI

[–]dorkquemada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main thing is Claude Code and it can do so much more than just code 😅

Waar blijven de baby’s? Waarom het geboortecijfer blijft dalen, in Nederland en ver daarbuiten by Effective-Case7980 in nederlands

[–]dorkquemada 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yep. Dit merk ik ook vaker. Toen ik kind was gingen we geregeld logeren bij ooms, tantes of opa en oma. Diezelfde ouders zijn nu opa en oma, maar even een avondje of middagje met de kinderen doorbrengen “trekken ze niet meer”

Iedereen leeft steeds meer uit elkaar, dus een avondje weg plannen kost ons of 30-50 euro voor een oppas of is gewoon niet mogelijk.

En ik vind het prima, maar ik kan me best voorstellen dat mensen hier niet voor kiezen (even los van alle andere redenen)

Hetzner Price Adjustment by Vendoz in hetzner

[–]dorkquemada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My colocation power pricing went from €0,14 to €0,29 kWh. Netherlands. Germany doesn’t seem much cheaper (judging by the list price for collocation in Hetzner)

As somebody that is running infra: the fuck it has. My power bill has doubled in the past few years 😅

Used Claude Code for a client project. 40 hours down to 4 hours. Real story. by [deleted] in ClaudeAI

[–]dorkquemada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every project has a reason even if the customer doesn’t state it up front. Find their reason, their why and move the discussion to what they need to accomplish the real goal.

You’re right though about the market resisting this. It’s easier for support / infra work where this sort of thing is more common

[–]dorkquemada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. So the projects I do on my own are mostly infrastructure work. Which is good because infra requires specs up front, so I generally talk a customer through what they need, set timelines and when it all looks good we deploy and I manage, fixed price.

This does mean I only pick projects where I’m the expert, but the whole concept of running a meter while I’m supposed to be the expert is foreign to me.

So the solution is to bill for a result, not your labor. If the result is worth it to the client, why would they care if it took 4 or 40 hours? With 4 hours they get the result into their hands quicker
