I honestly hope they don't do another dumb Linux challenge. Linus and Luke both have pre-prepared excuses why a conversion to Linux will fail, for them personally. Stuff like "we can't run Photoshop" level shit. Dumb "no shit Sherlock" type nonsense.
That means they won't actually try, they'll just "do it for the content" and give up again after a month or whatever. The videos will be well done but will ultimately conclude that "Linux still isn't ready for us" and they'll leave a bitter taste in any real Linux user's mouth, because their excuses will be pathetic and the efforts put in will be demonstrably minimal.
I've seen a few people who run proxmox on the bare metal with k8s running inside VMs, or containers, inside proxmox. I'm not sure if I should just go full bare metal k8s or have the proxmox (or other?) intermediate layer..
Not seen that one before, but I'm familiar with the concept. I'm working on something for myself that'll go into our will prep when we finally get around to it.
Normalization of my homelab?
Hi, so I have a very individual homelab. It's a collection of stuff accumulated over nearly 30 years of doing weird stuff.
For the past 9 years it's been running as a bunch of lxc containers (privileged because unprivileged did not exist, back then) but several of those containers are p2v conversions of physical hosts dating back to debian woody and earlier. They're all upgraded to at least buster, most are bookworm. Stuff like asterisk, email, home assistant, nextcloud, matrix synapse run there these days.
The server is a 15 year old HP gen6 thing, and is getting quite long in the tooth. There's also a dedicated cheapy microserver with an i4 running opnsense on bare metal as a firewall.
Trying to run stuff like local voice stuff for home assistant is showing the HP's age quite badly. Also, our area is getting fibre, and the opnsense box is maxed out at gigabit. More speed would be nice.
So, I'm in two minds. The homelab has been a lot of fun over the years, but I'm over 50 now, I want lower maintenance. This latest wave of upgrades is making me rethink the next 20 years of homelab. I don't want to leave something stupidly "only me" if I were to die tomorrow (diabetes is a fickle bastard). My wife might want to try and carry on this thing - it runs some useful stuff around the house (but it should be noted that nothing in this house requires a server or cloud) - and that's not going to happen with the current solution.
I think I might have a path, using proxmox, from where I am now, to something that can be deployed on e.g. a bunch of ms01 class devices. I'm thinking to convert the existing HP server to proxmox, to allow me to redeploy all my existing lxc containers into the proxmox world. As I acquire hardware over the next year, I can look at a k8s migration of the services onto a small, MUCH lower power cluster. One of the keys is that I don't want to have big outages of services for days or weeks while I migrate everything so it's gotta be a rolling upgrade as it were.
I'm here soliciting feedback. Has anyone ever migrated from a deeply legacy homebrew homelab into something like this? Does it reduce the workload long term? What's the practicality of this for someone rather less tech savvy?
Thanks!
Sounds like he's well qualified to be the first king of the USA. He's got everything. A ridiculous family tree, he's loony, he's corrupt, he's bankrupt. All hail king Trump the first!

I used to hear tv tubes, power supplies and all sorts of high frequency noise. These days I mostly just hear tinnitus. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Sleeping. Woke up one day to frozen shoulder. Two years of physio and it's still not right. Fucking aging. Being 50+ sucks arse.
The mkbhd first impressions were fascinating for what he didn't say. I'm guessing that he didn't want to burn the good times he has with Tesla so he really seemed to be trying to positively spin everything. At least, that's my interpretation. The mirrors were particularly.. https://youtu.be/XxOh12Uhg08?si=jlfuFU70v5cGd8HV
For some reason now I think it has to canon that going to warp involves a quick chorus of big red car.
The set of all rational numbers has zero size in the real numbers. And yet, they're fucking dense, meaning you can find a rational arbitrarily close to any real number. I mean, what the fuck?
Winmodems, the first true hardware hurdle for all Linux all the time for me. I ended up stuck with a 14.4 modem for ages, because faster hardware modems were almost completely replaced by winmodems in the UK. They sucked so much. Ah, demon internet in 1995.
This was probably an error- a bunch of stock became available about 30 past. That's when I got mine.
Same here. I was closing steam, figured it wasn't my lucky day after the out of stock message, and just refreshed the order out of habit and it went sailing through!
Yeah, I got the error page a bunch of times, then the "we're out of stock", and finally, an order confirmation! I suspect the servers were just overloaded - valve is definitely underestimating demand - and then they were running into fulfillment issues that have slowly been sorted out.
There's no doubt some bots got some, but I think there's a lot of happy second steamdeck owners today as well..
Testers wanted for new forge early display, please!
I want testers. This link is valid until tomorrow, and will give you a new version of forge with an early window display. Please install and test by whatever means necessary. If you encounter an issue - it crashes or shows an error dialog - please come to the forge discord and tell us about it! htt...
Hi, so I have posted a link in my mastodon to a new version of forge that includes an early window display. This is much improved from previous versions, and should work well for all modern minecraft scenarios, but I want some testing and validation. As such, please download and test it, and give us your feedback.
anyone looking forward to 1.20?
I hope to have some fun in 1.20 myself. Been kinda disconnected the last year or so, but I have plans, that'll make steamdeck control input a bit more fun.
