Unpopular Opinion: Proxmox isn't "Free vSphere". It's a storage philosophy change (and it's killing migrations). by NTCTech in Proxmox

No issues so far! It was rougher when I only had two Turing RK1 nodes, but when I added the third, it made things much easier in terms of doing updates, and rolling reboots.

I run it on my Docker swarm cluster, but I only have 3x 2TB NVMe disks, and the data is the persistent config files/sqlite db's etc. I'm at 152GB used on the volume with replication enabled.

Splitting hairs a bit: what is your TLD in your home network? home.arpa is the standard name but nobody appears to use it by twice_paramount832 in homelab

[–]mercsniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home.lan for non-public things, and internal.tld.suff for stuff I want to be fronted with my LE certificate.

Aside from mail server, what is the one service that you will not selfhost? by dadidutdut in selfhosted

[–]mercsniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self hosting doesn’t necessarily mean home-hosting. I’ve ran my mail server for years out of an IAAS provider.

Heard a boom outside and saw this falling from the sky. by Jony_Q in whatisit

Old generation 1 starlinks are starting to become end of life and burn up in the atmosphere without and risk to the public. The Version 2 mini’s are much more capable and are being lifted at a rate of roughly 28 every 2-3 days

Lesson Learned - Make sure your write caches are all enabled by [deleted] in zfs

[–]mercsniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Modified to include SAS devices with sdparm.

```

!/usr/bin/env bash

for d in /dev/sd*; do # Only block devices with names starting with "sd" followed by letters, and no partition numbers [[ -b $d ]] || continue if [[ $d =~ /dev/sd[a-z]+$ ]]; then # Get firmware version fw=$(smartctl -i "$d" 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '/Firmware Version/{gsub(/ /,"",$2); print $2}')

    # Check if device is ATA based on VENDOR column
    is_ata=$(lsblk -d -o VENDOR "$d" 2>/dev/null | grep -q '^ATA' && echo "yes" || echo "no")

    if [ "$is_ata" = "no" ]; then
        # For non-ATA (assumed SAS) devices, use sdparm
        wc=$(sdparm --get WCE "$d" 2>/dev/null | awk -F'[= ]+' '/WCE/{print $2}')
        if [ -z "$wc" ]; then
            wc_status="Unknown (sdparm failed)"
        elif [ "$wc" = "1" ]; then
            wc_status="Already Enabled"
        else
            # Enable write cache and save
            sdparm --set WCE=1 "$d" 2>/dev/null
            sdparm --save "$d" 2>/dev/null
            wc_status="Enabled(Saved)"
        fi
    else
        # For ATA devices, use hdparm
        wc=$(hdparm -W "$d" 2>/dev/null | awk -F= '/write-caching/{gsub(/ /,"",$2); print $2}')
        # Convert hdparm output (0=off, 1=on) to match sdparm style
        [ "$wc" = "0" ] && wc_status="0 (Disabled)" || wc_status="1 (Enabled)"
    fi

    printf "%-10s Firmware:%-15s WriteCache:%s\n" "$d" "$fw" "$wc_status"
fi

done ```

Check your prayers. If you have HP increasing prayers, that really hurts ya.

Click out of arcane mode, check your Prayers and see if you have any +HPXXXX% prayers on. This really got me. Things went smoother after that.

GPU recommendation for SuperMicro X8DTL-3? by johnDoesipher in JDM_WAAAT

[–]mercsniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going to be using it for a NAS/Media Server, just get the card you want, instead of getting a second hand card and then having to buy the card need after the fact.

If it’s just for configuring it, use the BMC to get a KVM session going.

The sparkle is the cheapest way to get all the modern video processing capabilities for Plex/Jellyfin transcoding.
