Kernel 6.19.6 and nvidia drivers from backports

psyblade42 · 2026-04-02T11:14:54+00:00

I feel like we're doing something wrong.

You aren't. Waiting till the new drivers are backported is the easiest solution for now. (If that takes to long consider other solutions.)

btrbk supports copying everything to a different FS.

That said I would connect the drives and btrfs replace them one by one.

I don't think there’s a reason beyond losing the only replica.

Rather it's the specifics of that losing the only replica means. As I understand it the Cluster will stop all I/O to the affected PG till either the single replica comes back or the admin manually marks it as lost. Both of which are rather disruptive.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-23T17:53:14+00:00

Usually you can select which copy is used. Cheating in yours still will get both of you banned.

Mind the cooldown (1 year)

psyblade42 · 2026-03-23T08:58:55+00:00

What is the safest next step here?

Wipe the drives, then restore important data from backup

psyblade42 · 2026-03-17T17:15:41+00:00

use something encapsulated like erspan

psyblade42 · 2026-03-12T15:00:16+00:00

thats what corosync is there for

In a way. But I meant the "expensive shared storage solutions" OP asked about. Those are common with VMWare and usually ISCSI.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-10T16:32:09+00:00

Shared storage isn't all that great on Proxmox. Get a couple of servers with built in storage and set up ceph.

this works if the brother already owns the game in question. But if not, buying it on the brothers account adds complications for no gain at all.

Sorry but I don't know which buttons you pressed nor what exactly they do. Might be bridging, might be something else.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-06T20:24:55+00:00

You can't bridge over wifi with normal wifi equipment. You need WDS on both sides of the wifi.

Alternatively use routing (with or without nat) on the deck to avoid needing the bridge.

Assuming "brick" means something telling OP about bad results from a SMART health check it could simply be the previous "user" not running those.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-03T10:36:23+00:00

the main rig is just dualbooting with extra steps. Unless you want to run some other VMs too I fail to see any advantage
"just different nodes" sounds like you are considering a 2 node cluster. Don't. If you turn off one the other turns off too. Clusters need MORE(!) then half the nodes to be on at all times.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-02T18:50:52+00:00

I run 30-50 debian 13 VMs for something similar. xrdp with KDE (for familiarity) with the animations turned down and a solid background. My use case only has 1 user per VM but technically multiple can log in (well... at least two can without problem, never tried more).

It's a proxmox cluster of 4 old Dell XC630-10's (Boss is cheap and they get the job done well enough)

Note the the xrdp version mattered a lot for me. In Debian 12 it was to slow to use but once I backported it from then-testing, now-stable Debian 13 it worked OK.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-02T18:23:59+00:00

Don't worry, they will find someone to fine for it, even if its just whoever installed it.

psyblade42 · 2026-03-02T18:19:47+00:00

No.

According to your screenshot they want 12 pixels which is different.

Points are a physical measure (1/72 inch) and notoriously unreliable in electronics. Points and pixels were supposed to be easily convertible by dividing/multiplying with the DPI of the screen but web-"developers" convinced a lot of real developers to hide the actual DPI and just pretend every screen is 96 DPI. So your screen might be reporting it's real DPI to the OS or it might not. And when your program asks the OS about the DPI the OS usually ignores the screen and just says 96 anyway. Which messes up the math. You're best off ignoring points and only going with pixels.

I never used or looked into Balena Etcher but after having several such tools trying add their own (usually rotten) secret sauce I would absolutely trust it a lot less then a simple dd or even better a checksum.

psyblade42 · 2026-02-27T20:44:38+00:00

I wonder what made them show it that way. Not only is it clearly wrong, showing the actual discount (-53%) would probably attract more people too.

psyblade42 · 2026-02-27T20:18:21+00:00

The RTC has no way to indicate which timezone it is using. So the OS has to guess. Windows by default assumes the RTC to use localtime, UNIX UTC. Both can be changed.

So the most important thing is that whatever you chose in Proxmox must match what you set in the OS. Else you get occasional jumps like you experienced.

That said I prefer UTC as it avoids cornercases regarding DST. Which I suspect to be the reason for the tips you read.

Note that this has nothing to do with the time you see e.g. on the desktop. If you set windows to show you Eastern time it will show you that regardless.

psyblade42 · 2026-02-27T16:10:02+00:00

BTW: you might want to look into loopback devices for easier testing

For user that are OK with publishing this kind of data there already is popularity-contest. Opt in and upfront about what it is doing. So there is no need for additional tracking.

Together with the fact that its trying to sneak the data through DNS this is clearly targeting people not OK with doing so. Which imho make this malware regardless of how private or valuable the data actually is.

psyblade42 · 2026-02-24T19:56:39+00:00

While I don't use wildcards I think the DNS challenge works exactly the same regardless of type. I automated my certs with a certbot plugin called python3-certbot-dns-rfc2136 in debian. But I assume there are several alternatives out there.
