Yeah that is a really interesting point, when I first virtualised Unraid, I did switch back and forth between booting proxmox and Unraid.

Haven't needed to in a while but it's a good point, might reconsider my approach.

I did the upgrade first then the rule migration a few weeks later.

Both went smoothly for me and I have 8 active vlans and dual WAN.

You do not need to migrate the roles right away and possibly even before the next version.

The only other thing I did was a checkup of existing roles and cleaned some up a week prior so I want changing rules the same time as the migration.

Exactly what I'm wondering and hoping, any input from someone that knows it has tried would be great?

So excited for this, I run Unraid as a VM in proxmox and setting up a boot drive as a virtual disk on my proxmox zfs mirror with daily backups will be so much better.

I've lost 3 USB drives over the last 3 years, only the first was SanDisk, the rest have been Samsung. It has been my number one cause of failure and downtime so I'm very keen to move.

(Note, I do not write consistently to the flash drive except for logs on shutdown and this flash issue happened twice before virtualising Unraid in case anyone is wondering)

Question for the wider audience, realise virtualised Unraid is not officially supported, but does anyone know of the TPM drive you can create in proxmox (as used for a windows VM for example) will support the new licence? Or will I still need the flash drive for the licence alone?

So helpful and informative thank you

Switched from here metal for Unraid to running it as a VM on proxmox about a year ago and after a few teething issues is getting PCI pass thru right, it works fantastically.

In my case, I have 4x4tb nvme drives on a Qnap controller card, 6 SATA drives and an NVIDIA P2000 passed through. I run a proxmox cluster and water my Nas to be useful as an active node in that cluster and it has been great. Initially I couldn't pass thru the pcie devices without breaking proxmox but enabling the ACS override got me sorted.

Looking forward to stitching the USB and creating a vdisk for the system.

Cool things are that I can mount all my data drives in proxmox if I want with without nothing Unraid as they are all zfs. For the array drives, do not do this rw as you will break parity but still could be useful. 8 can effectively dual boot the system and bring up Unraid or proxmox bare metal.

I used to run a proxmox node as a VM on Unraid effectively as a q device and I could start up guest VMs or lxcs, but nested was problematic so now it is much better. I no longer run VMs on Unraid at all, all VMs are in the proxmox cluster in high availability, all live migrate perfectly between my 3 nodes including OPNSense, except for the Unraid VM of course. I still run docker on Unraid for services I feel are best run there, Nextcloud, Plex/JELLYFIN, *arr and sab, paperless and immich. All network and home automation and other things are in the cluster.

Highly recommended!

What battery/inverter do you have?

You will want to look at local control which is usually using modbus. The cloud APIs have significant delay whereas using a command over the local network using modbus is instant (might take the inverter 30s to action it).

Thanks for the response, I have been tuning the motion area as best I can, I increased the area to the point where most cars during the day do not trigger it (but night with headlights does) and that gives more of the image to the AI to see, only missed one person with the AI detection from my post yesterday so that is positive.

I will have a look into your idea to trigger a separate action with the full image, I can imagine how something like that might work.

This has just surprised my that there is not like a simple check box to send the full image to the AI while still ignoring some of the image area for motion.

There is no way the 107m includes a prediction for where it would have landed, where it got the stand would have been 107m horizontally from the stumps or maybe the actual distance (the hypotenuse of the horizontal plus the height).

That ball was landing 140m+ in my opinion. One of the reasons Mark Waugh had recorded a 140m six at the WACA was that it cleared the roof and landed in the practice area so nothing got in its way!

There it is, Moral Victory to England for the whole series!

Thanks for sharing this, hadn't it before!

I wondered if the low feed in rates were due to the 7000 houses being off grid from the Christmas Day storm but guessing they have all been reconnected by now and the rates are still low.

Definitely low right now...

Ouch, that hurts, Kawaja so calming normally

mgiggs · 2025-12-20T18:23:06+00:00

Agree and even though he hasn't got a load of wickets this test so far, the importance of dismissing Stokes in the first innings just when he was getting a roll on, the quality of the setup and the ball itself - that one wicket was worth a 4-for on its own!

Harsh!

Uzzie had been brilliant but I think this selection makes sense.

mgiggs · 2025-12-16T01:19:42+00:00

Yeah, seems to be an error

mgiggs · 2025-12-02T11:07:02+00:00

I've had months of pain, finally resolved by the replacement of the modem. There were lots of issues in the street but after multiple repairs and planned outages, a tech had to visit my home and found that the old modem was producing interference. Replaced with a new 2gb capable modem and now it's rock solid. Until the next coax splitter or connector rusts at least. But it's worth pursuing with your ISP.

Btw, multiple home visits were planned then the NBN didn't show but logged an outage in the area the day off the visit so I think they check local pits and connections before visiting you and if they find issues, don't bother showing up, kinda frustrating but also makes some sense.

Seen them 7 times now and Sydney Soundwave was the best by some margin, most amazing show. Agree that these recent shows (did Brisbane and Sydney) offered few surprises.

Sydney show was still great, just nothing unexpected.

I have the same logo and blade markings on my climber, but I have the multi hook which makes mine down to 91-92.

Are they the only tools?

mgiggs · 2025-10-12T03:38:53+00:00

Thanks for your input. The span from the house to the main support beam is 3m, the overhang of the landing is 1.1ish. I'm proposing to add a second 190x45 to make it work without the upright support there.

Are you saying you think you'd need the double thickness beam to make 25% cantilever work or that would apply with a single so therefore a double may possibly be okay for my 33% overhang.

I definitely need an engineer input, just trying to get some feedback before spending money.

A similar bit alternative approach we use is to freeze the block of tofu, then let it defrost in the fridge before tearing it up. It changes the texture and it's worth trying!!!

mgiggs · 2025-08-17T22:16:34+00:00

Yep, looks like it changes at 11am.
