vTubers! Explain your lore as padly as possible:
Corpo run went wrong, Data Matrix score got eaten by a G.E.L. and started glitching out. Now i have protect it.
alright, so Ceph is annoying & not worth it IMHO. But that is what the homelab is for, experimenting. It worked at first, then a new update in proxmox broke it & even though I got it to a "healthy" state, none of the VMs would transfer during an HA event a& would never boot again
Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) posted his over-the-top video about NES Silver Surfer back in December 2008. It has been viewed over 7.3 Million times! It is also the reason why so many people will tell you that the game is one of the hardest NES games, even those that have never played it themselves!
Giving up on using Rocky for this.
I'm not versed enough in Linux to understand why the Microsoft dependencies & repositories just wont install & there is almost no online documentation on running #Technitium in Rocky. basic DNS is just fine but not QUIC
#homelab#PVE#selfhosted
Spent way too long trying to install Technitium on Rocky Linux 10.2 Learned a lot but ultimetly im going to have to scrap it and punt to Rocky 9.x. the Quad9 forwarder with Quic doesnt want to work because it needs a .net library that refuses to install

Most of this was learning how to make a vm template in proxmox with cloud-init & pounding my head when it kernal panic & not boot (cpu type changed from host to something else & putting it back to host fixed it) & failing to login... cause i misstyped the username in the template
Slowly getting the homelab cluster all setup.
Got vPro all set up on each of the nodes (should have done that before installing PVE honestly) with MeshCommander.
#homelab#proxmox#selfhosting#meshcommander
I made a blunder in setting up my Proxmox ceph cluster. I failed to setup vPro or my CometX kvm
One of the nodes is not healthy, not being very responsive, attempted to reboot it & now its not coming backup & its not physically here...

Today is a somber day and reminder of a terrible event.
We should remember those that were lost and recognize the bravery of those that went above and beyond to help. That includes everyone who rushed to the blood banks to donate, those who donate food and money or time (cont)
It was the first time in my life, I saw so many people rally together in support of each other. I wish we could be like that now, more than ever. We certainly need it.
Don't take what you have for granted, in the blink of an eye, the whole world you know, can change.
I don't have a switch2, haven't seen the OoT full direct, just pieces, but it was enough for me to pre-order the physical copy (I guess the first production wave will have some special foil with it? not super clear as I couldn't find a dedicated link to any special edition)
several days late because i've been absolutely deda for several reasons but here's the yearly @techycutie.bsky.social birthday art!! love u bestie
[ #kscart ]
Another -1 to my self esteem today.
Decided to throw myself into the dating pool again, and was talking with a cutie, things seem to be going well, was excited to talk to them again after my shift was over, went to open our conversation thread and 'blocked' ... yay...
This is my first role ever! ๐
I'll be playing a character that I love very much (and maybe share some traits with) so I hope you all will check it out! Thank you VeryFatCat for the opportunity! I hope I can do Laneys voice some justice! ๐ฌ

Not exactly thrilled that the 8 nvme drives i ordered off of ebay arrived wrapped in only bubblewrap and tape.
No mylar or antistatic bag...
Granted these arent super high grade, just decent ones to use for my proxmox host OS drives to have in RAID1, but still...

Hey so this feature sucks ass for editing and preservation. These default-on automatic captions get burned into the video file itself. You cannot download a clean version of the clip. That means they're in the way when editing. Not to mention the STT inaccuracies. This is effectively vandalism.
Just bought 4 nic cards with 4 1Gbe ports for my homelab to install into my 4 HP Z2' G8 SFF's
This will let me better passthrough on proxmox for different vlans associated with each nic, leaving the main onboard for management only.

Everyone talking about @gameoverse.bsky.social pilot, but no one is talking about how the seagull made it to the ship at the end? Gull is going to be big in the series, I can feel it.

Homelab update
meant to post this a few days ago, but i did figure out which specific RAM stick was failing.
Now i just need a replacement.
Sadly i havent seen any decent prices all week on ebay. So it'll be a while before i get that node setup
But im going to work on the other 2
It appears some of the RAM I ordered for my Proxmox nodes is faulty. Need tonidentify the specific sticks but it seemsbto only be one node. Other ones pass the mem test diagnotics and cpu stress testing. I'll know more tomorrow whenni have more time.
Who's ready to RAISE RINGS for CHARITY?!
Come by for my personal hosted event FRIDAY May 8th at NOON EDT! ๐
#sonicthehedgehog#twitch#speedrun#Sonic3DBlast
Havent had the chance to mess with the new homelab for almost a week, minus adding some RAM to two of the 3 nodes (was still waiting for the last stick of RAM to come in) but once it does, they'll have 128gb each!
Really wish my last few pieces of equipment for the homlab would get here.
But i decided to update the bios to all of nodes since that was something i could do while waiting.
News on the new homelab, decided to start with the ProxMox backup server. I settled on installing TrueNas and then would install PBS as a container, but ran into some issues.
Kept getting some ACPI errors in the boot menu. Will need to spend time evaluating that. Will update bios
it might help, but also saw some people say to ignore the acpi stuff & just ruin the installer (the errors were not preventing me from continuing, I just didnt want to continue with them popping up) Also, one of my RAM orders fell through, seller sold more than they had in stock
The start of something beautiful
My soon to be Proxmox cluster for my homelab!
Made from repurposed ebay finds.
HP Z2 G8 SFF
Core i7 11th gen processors.
Ive upgraded the ram to 64gb, but will eventually max them to 128.
Added SFP+ card
Waiting on ssds
#homelab#proxmox#selfhost
The checkered pattern is a metal sticker residue. I assume from aaset ID stickers from the previous company before they got listed on ebay.
Ill have to wipe that off sometime.
Sadly my micron 5100 max ssds got delayed, so ill have to wait a bit.
Also waiting on my sfp switch
next update on the soon to be proxmox cluster.
the SSD's should be in tomorrow, and I have an SFP+ switch on the way.
Each node will have a dual SFP+ NIC. one for Ceph, and one for vm network traffic. The built-in nic will be used for node management and intel vPro access
News on the homelab front.
The drives I ordered from a supplier, conveniently were out of stock, even though the listing on their website said they were in stock. But luckily, someone on ebay were selling some higher capacity versions. and for the same price, I could get 50% more
this does mean that instead of having 3 drives per node for the proxmox cluster using Cech, I'll only have 2 though. Not a big deal, but it based on what I am reading, ideally you want at least 3 drives. Maybe in the future when I get more funds, I can expand a little more
