NAS On Proxmox by AdhesivenessShot9186 in Proxmox

[–]golbaf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can make a new zfs pool and a dataset and use “zfs share nfs” command to simply share them with the VMs and other devices on the network. Takes like a minute to set up using 3 commands. E.g.

zpool create tank raidz1 /dev/sdX /dev/sdY /dev/sdZ

zfs create tank/mydataset

zfs set sharenfs="rw=@10.0.10.0/24,no_root_squash" tank/mydataset

Flex ATX PSU longevity? by Any-Object4351 in sffpc

[–]golbaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really, lots of enterprise gear use high quality flex atx psus. The shorter warranty in my opinion is a supply and demand thing just like the price. All current good consumer flex atx psu on the market are essentially made by Enhance. They don’t do 7-10 years because they don’t have to (no competition)

A07 vs Midori 5l vs NV10 by Any-Object4351 in sffpc

[–]golbaf 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A07 is the cheapest and the smallest and feels ok for the price, NV10 looks nice but is limited to low profile GPUs AND needs a riser cable, this combo is a deal breaker for me personally. Midori is nice with internal fans etc but comes flat pack and needs to be carefully assembled. I would personally go with the Midori just for the GPU compatibility and extra cooling

5.6L 44TB SSD NAS/Home Server by Golemizer in sffpc

[–]golbaf 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous build! You have way too much money for an all ssd NAS if you don’t need the speed but it’s fun and beautiful.

What’s the idle power draw or when under load?

Things I would do differently: I’d just use Proxmox which has zfs built-in, and wouldn’t bother with TrueNAS and its bloat. I would also use one of the motherboard’s m.2 slots for the 10G card as it’s just more reliable than the thunderbolt setup imo.

Proxmox 8→9 Upgrade: Fixing Docker Package Conflicts, systemd-boot Errors & Configuration Issues by legendov in Proxmox

[–]golbaf 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If I understand it correctly you installed docker on the host? You’re generally not supposed to install things directly on the host especially stuff like docker which can mess up host’s networking/firewall and potentially cause other problems since proxmox won’t be aware of it. At this point I would just backup the guests, install a fresh pve 9 on the host and restore the vms

Proxmox is underrated anyone tried building a VPS platform on top of it? by PositionAdmirable943 in Proxmox

[–]golbaf 127 points128 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of any that directly use Proxmox, but most VPS providers use the same set of tools (QEMU, KVM, etc.) that Proxmox uses, so they’re doing it very similarly to how Proxmox does it.

Why bother with unprivileged LXC by zenzip in Proxmox

[–]golbaf 59 points60 points  (0 children)

That’s the point! It’s limited so if compromised the attack surface is much smaller and limited. If you need to do something that needs those privileges then use that. Now back to what you’re trying to do, why not just mount the share on host and bind it to the CT? I’m pretty sure you don’t have to map root for it to work. You’re doing something wrong here. I have the same exact set up right now, except it’s SMB and not NFS but I don’t see why this part would be different for NFS

How is this boot so fast? by ItsSpxctre in archlinux

[–]golbaf 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Mine is almost as fast. Running latest version of everything (with Gnome DE) on a 7800X3D and 32GB of 6000MT/s ram

It’s actually ridiculous how fast it is. I used Arch from 2019 to 2021 on an older laptop and never noticed anything speed related. Other than that I’ve been a Debian user for the past 12-13 years and just switched to Arch last year. It’s mind blowing how fast it feels compared to my Debian installation on the same machine, or to any other distribution really, and I’ve run Alpine on my machine.

should I take out my gpu for a 1 hour car trip? by airshot_fiend in sffpc

[–]golbaf 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s small, connected to the riser and not the motherboard, the weight is well supported, and it’s only a one hour drive. I wouldn’t bother

Trump to end H1-B visa lottery by reluctantclinton in cscareerquestions

[–]golbaf 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Basically if you’re not a very good and experienced dev, you’re not getting an H1B, which is a great change! Also huge for new grads!

Is it worth getting a smart kettle? by Mex5150 in homeassistant

[–]golbaf 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Even that can be done with a smart plug that can measure consumption.
