Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi’s that I’m going to set up a cluster with. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won’t and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.
It’s completely overkill for a small home lab but that’s what makes it fun.
In Proxmox they have VirGL-GPU and Virtio-GPU. They allow VMs to pass work to the GPU without being dedicated to one VM. I don’t think gaming was the intended use case and don’t know what kind of performance you would get. My uninformed guess is that it would not be great.
Good luck! You got this!
Just use Debian. Why use the inferior downstream distros when you can go right to the OG? You are already halfway there.
Debian doesn’t have a corporate sponsor so there is no risk of getting spammed or giving someone your personal information.
Build something that you want. Find that niche that isn’t well served by existing projects and fill the void. Either by making something entirely new or adding a feature to something already out there.
g-unzip?
gun-zip
I used this command way before I used gzip so I didn’t put it together.
Maybe something I should look into again.
Yes! I’ve used that before.
I spun up a trial version of Windows Server and tried to get it working. It seemed to want a Domain environment and I didn’t want to go down that road. There probably is a way to do it without setting up a Domain but I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.
I have a Windows VM on my server. If I need MS Office or any Windows-only program I just use Remmina to RDP in and get stuff done.
Windows has pretty good touch support over RDP so I can even do this from my phone or tablet if I need a full desktop on the go (using a VPN).
I got a carbonization machine. I’ve been drinking way more water these days. I always thought I liked soda because of the sugar. Actually I liked the fizziness. It gets fizzier than anything else I’ve ever drank.
I would have to be a mutual agreement between communities. Moderation in such a setup would be tricky (can mods take actions on users or posts that technically don’t reside in their community?)
The ability for communities across different instances behave like one. We don’t need ten different communities doing the exact same thing.
We don’t need to be as big as Facebook but three or four times more users would probably be ideal.
Bailing out. You are on your own. Good luck!

They have a pretty good catalog of pre-built Docker containers. You don’t have to use their version of things but there is a lot of software that I was previously unaware of that I learned of through them.
For some reason my DNS tends to break the most. I have to reinstall my Pi-hole semi-regularly.
NixOS plus Docker is my preferred setup for hosting applications. Sometime it is a pain to get running but once it does it tends to run. If a container doesn’t work, restart it. If the OS doesn’t work, roll it back.
Does it increase your attack surface? Yes. With proper precautions is this level of risk negligible? Also yes.
You will be opening a port to the outside world. Anyone can try to use it. But if you are using key authentication it will be fine.
Transmutation (Mutatis Mutandis) by Praxis is really bizarre and amazing.
Am I the only one using tldr?
Yeah I think the distro is less important. Really it’s choosing a lightweight DE + web browser will determine if a machine that old will work.
I always felt that high-res Surprised Pikachu kinda ruins it. It’s funnier when it’s all fuzzy and jpg-y.
