Will it be easier to figure out how to read the LPC bus and extract the current POST status code and issue a hard reset
or to debug why this Mainboard and PCIe card combination gets stuck on reboots but works perfectly fine when powered off and turned back on.

Still looking how to balance your VMs in #Proxmox clusters? #ProxLB 1.1.9 is here!

This release adds features that were requested during the #DutchProxmoxDay2025 which was hosted by our friends Tuxis (tuxis.nl). I'm hearing your feedback and all your feedback from the community and user base is important to me, so let me introduce the following new features:

* Add an optional memory balancing threshold
* Add affinity/anti-affinity support by pools
* Add pressure (PSI) based balancing for memory, cpu, disk
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for nodes
* Pressure (PSI) based balancing for guests

You can simply upgrade via APT or by obtaining the latest Docker/Container image. PSI based balancing (still in beta) requires Proxmox VE 9 or greater.

Thanks to my employer
@credativ@mastodon.social (https://credativ.de) who provides me the required time to work at this.

@twrling Any recommendations from the Mastodon community for moving away from #Ring to a different smart doorbell product? Motion detection and ability to answer from anywhere are what we appreciate about Ring, but there must be a self hosted or privacy respecting 3rd party option somewhere?

Das blöde bei einem #Homelab ist halt, dass im Falle eines Wohnungsumzug die halbe IT- Infrastruktur weg ist, bis alles wieder aufgebaut ist. 🥹😂

It's been a long day. Tomorrow though, I really need this MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe, running the home router, to be quiet. Therefore, lay in bed, figure out which Thermal Grizzly conductive pad is most appropriate for replacement between the NIC's heatsink.. and maybe there a STL file for making a carbon fitment plus copper core (taken from an old Broadwell system, heatsink with a couple of blah blah blah... yep. Go to sleep brain, stop this, maybe more tomorrow.

So GPT-Pro and Deep Research... tell me what to buy.

My minio instance has very basic needs and continues to chug along, but they've clearly made every effort to do away with the community version and I need to figure out a plan before I'm stuck.

Anyone switched to Garage?

Any other suggestions for self-hosting S3 compatible storage?

I'm basically only using it for hosting static pages, restic backup target, and sometimes as a media store for matrix / GoToSocial (though I think neither at this exact moment).

Any #ZFS folks want to offer me an opinion on the following? I have 2 ZFS pool of raidz2 with 7 2TB SAS drives each (about 11.5T). I want to add a LOG drive. I have a single SAS SSD that's 300G. When I suggested using a 1TB LOG drive earlier, someone said that was way too much. (which is why I picked up a used 300G SSD)

My question is whether it makes sense (is possible) to partition that drive into 2 partitions and have one pool use 1 partition as a log drive (e.g., 150G) and the other pool use the other partition as a log drive on the same physical device.

Is this going to be worse because it's just too much IO on one device? Is it reasonable? Any other ideas?

Thanks

"Tier 1 Datacentre" sounds really impressive until you realise you've just described the linen closet of the average r/homelab user.

Any of you sharing GPU's without SRIOV?

I have been "abusing" my host OS to run gpu demanding work.
Notably, steam with gamescope so servers aren't single use.
They can server as multi-media centers, but also as couch gaming stations, nas, etc.

Basically trying to push the envelope of HCI (Hyper Converged Infra).

All of this because GPU vendor are greedy and don't want to have SRIOV on consumer grade hardware.

See, I left Facebook more than 10 years ago, my home has been Microsoft-free since around 1998. I run my #Homelab where I store all my digital stuff (photos, scanned documents, LibreOffice files etc) on a NAS (Network Attached Storage) server that runs Linux. I have never used AWS or Azure, if I need some compute capacity, I rent VPS (Virtual Private Server) at EU based hosting companies. I did #DigitalSovereignty long before the term even existed. You can become the owner of your data too!
