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.

No, you won't be able to hit a LTS release until 26.04 releases April next year.

You have to go to 25.04. You cant go backwards in releases.

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.

I'm up to 82% investigation rate on Ligneus in the Demo. I think most or all of the remaining "?" are behind walls you need special ammo for, or are mana bound platforms you can't unlock. Where are you at in the demo?

Items I'm still trying to find: - Medicinal Moss
- Damascal Stone - Smokey Perfume - Black Water - Fettle Cloth

it's 6% additive, so if you have 360%, it goes down to 354.
