    Happy new year! Let's have a great year for open-source based virtualization stacks! I also just release 1.1.0 of #ProxCLMC which adds support for standalone PVE nodes that are not part of a cluster (got requested by a user).#Proxmox #PVE #homelab #opensource #rust #rustlang #devops #virtualization #CPU #EVChttps://github.com/gyptazy/ProxCLMC

    I’m so stucked… Black Friday reactivated the “store everything on a NAS” project in my poor brain. As the goal is quite simple : reduce to the minimum the use (and the costs) of our family iCloud plan, you would expect the solution is simple (of course not…). But should also be added to the equation the need to secure data already on external usb disks. (And aging). So, the quest for the right choice begins with a Nas appliance. Syno? No thanks, solid software, old hardware and discutable moves to lock everyone to use their parts catalog. So… considered ugreen Nas such as dxp2800 (two disks, not very upgradable so use huge capacity for a start). Dxp4800 four bays so it is possible to gradually extend the pool in the future. Then there is also MiniPC with nvme slots such as beelink Me Mini. In all cases, storage will be ZFS and data should be encrypted (don’t want thieves to read my data). Software will likely be truenas. A bare FreeBSD would be great but I have no time or skills to build everything from scratch with the insurance that I don’t leave some door opened for exploits. Either ugreen and N100 based pc should be enough for immich and one or two lightweight containers/jails. Costs are also to be considered, as RAM and disks (and NVME) are becoming very pricey. I read some blogs articles from our barista and of course it was so very interesting to build a backup server, remote access in a diy manner, (the geek in me was very tempted, but the end-user in me having to ensure the data from everybody in the house is secured is worried) #homelab #NAS

    @stefano Running Leap 16 in VirtualBox 7.1 on my Debian laptop. Leap 16 has some problems.First, it only successfully boots every *other* time it powers on. The other times, after the boot loader, it shuts down automatically with no warning.Secondly, there are strange network issues though this may be a Virtual Box thing. I just tried installing Debian 13 and the network config during the installer is continuously failing at DHCP. I'm on public wifi at a hospital, but that shouldn't matter because the laptop itself and my phone connect to the wifi no problems. I suspect I have some troubleshooting to do there....but only being able to successfully power up every other time? Yeah, that is strange.

    My #HomeLab has a corrupted boot disk because of a failed rebuild of btrfs. I did the rebuild, because btrfs reported errors most likely because of power outages. I thought why not try to fix this and than it failed after days of calculating, because the USB thumb drive was ejected. Quite forcefully because of a falling broom I might add. It was a whole thing.Currently in the middle of reinstalling the boot disk. But during the wait I was thinking I probably should acquire a small #UPS for my setup. Any recommendations on what one want’s to get these days? I mainly need a small one and ideally I’d want it to communicate with the server when there is a power outage to shut it down (after an appropriate time of course).#FediHelp
