I have it working with LaCP’d 4gb networking for the transfers. Five nodes. I agree though, It’s a beast on RAM.
I have tried a couple of Proxmox clusters, one with overkill specs and one with little Mini PCs. Proxmox does eat up a fair amount of memory, but I have used it with Ceph for live migrations. Its really useful to me to be able to power off a machine, work on it, then bring it back up, and have no interruptions in my services. That said, my Mini PCs always seemed to be hurting for RAM. So that’s my pros and cons.
I own the remake, and I actually had a fan site for it… And got to interview John Freaking Carpenter for that fan site, as he did the music for Sentinel Returns. It was exactly as awesome as it sounds.
Sentinel… From waaay back. Like, Commodore 64 age. I think it would be a perfect VR game, too.
WildStar got done dirty… It hit at the wrong time, but was so much fun. I could never get any friends to play with me. Le sigh.
Is it on Netflix now? I think I read that somewhere.
Godzilla Minus One. What an amazing treat! I went in expecting the big guy to stomp around Tokyo, but old timey, and instead got the best human story in a Godzilla film ever!
Also, Furiosa, which I liked too.
You mean I didn’t need to spend years and thousands of dollars learning Linux and servers? Oh man! Oh wait, I’m getting ads in Windows on the start menu. Yeah, I’m happy.
There’s a series of Lemmy posts called the Linux upskill challenge that goes step by step through setting up and using Linux. I tried self hosting and jumping straight in too, and it sucked.
What worked for me:
I’m still in the middle of 6+7. Not super comfy with Docker quite yet, but getting there. I really do love having my stuff self-hosted though. Well worth the effort.
I have two old usb2 4tb drives attached, and the only issue I run into is a bit of delay at the start of a video in jellyfin. My jellyfin is running in a container in the Nuc though, not natively, and it’s a Celeron from a while back, so…
Hmm… The nice thing is, I don’t use the remote. I have a little wireless keyboard plugged in to my Tiny PC… But yuck. I guess I’ll have to start tinfoil hat wearing soon.
I have a “smart” TV with a network cable plugged into nothing at all, with no wifi connected, plugged into an Oooold Lenovo Tiny PC running Mint. The Mint box does all my smarts. Pihole, ad-block, all that jazz. It never occurred to me that it might have connected to some open wifi out there, but none of my neighbors have guest wifi or anything, so hopefully I’m good. It’s definitely not on my wifi, anyways.
Loving Lemmy! Never felt like it was worth posting on Reddit, this place feels like some weird, dysfunctional, extended family.
Thanks for this! Looking forward to trying it out!
I’ve had pretty good luck with www.era.ca. I’m in their city though, so I can pick up locally, and I can return anything that doesn’t work for me. They have an eBay store www.ebay.ca/str/calgarycomputerwholesale. They do sell “for parts” and “as is” though, so read the listing.
There’s a store in my town called Memory Express, and I bought their generic card back in the day. I can’t remember if it was vantech or Startech branded. I didn’t actually buy it for that purpose, I just had it lying around. I originally bought it because my work computer had no ethernet port, and I was testing networks with it. It’s funny, I seem to wander through my Linux-using experience with amazing luck. I always hear about ‘no sound’ or ‘no wifi’, and I’ve never run into that.
This is really lame to suggest, but I had an old Mac Mini that had a dead NIC, and I also had a USB NIC, and it ran that way for god knows how long… Maybe 20$ and keep using the Mac Mini? I have an old Lenovo Tiny that’s running a few Docker services. It’s an i5-4570t, I think? It sits in my closet next to my router and is probably covered in dust.
I got laid off because my company thinks their shiny new AI will cover my productivity… I’m betting you can guess how I feel?
I have dyndns, have since they were 10$ a year, and I’ve gradually realized that my ISP changes my IP on average less than once a year…
