  • Well, there’s nothing wrong with that at all. The only thing I was thinking is that you would then also have the rest of the Proxmox server to do other server things with.

    For instance, you could set up an LDAP server and create a centralized login for your home domain And have that separate from your portainer setup so that if you make a mistake you don’t end up having to redo your portainer setup.

    You could also use it as a VM host to try out different flavors of Linux and see if any of them make any more sense to you.

    Even though it’s not recommended, you could also host Truenas on top of Proxmox.

    There are good reasons to use virtual machines separate from another virtual machine.


  • Like the other people said, use Proxmox. Just download the installer, flash it to a flash drive with Rufus and install it and then put it somewhere far away where the noise won’t bother you hopefully plug it into your network and then you can just run it.

    One thing that I like to do is to install ubuntu server and then install Docker and Portainer on the server and then you can just run a whole bunch of Docker containers and have a lot of fun playing around with that.

    There are a lot of guides for how to do that, but if you set up Proxmox first and then create a VM with, say, four CPUs and four gigs of RAM and 40 gigs of storage space, you’ll have more than enough room in that one virtual machine to run dozens of net services.

    Some good ones to install are pihole or ad guard home and nginx reverse proxy.

    You can go to DuckDNS and create a subdomain and then set the IP address to your internal ip.

    Once you have that up, you can then go to Let’s encrypt and create a wildcard certificate and then give all of the services you’re running on Docker and on your NAS server an internal name with an SSL certificate instead of having to type in the IP addresses.

    The sky is the limit and the more things that you play around with and try, the better you’ll get at them and the more things you’ll learn how to do.













  • I’m just going to keep riding this horse until it fucking dies but the very first thing he did was take everything Obama did during his presidency and throw it out the window, including the pandemic playbook.

    That playbook would have given us step by step instructions and reactions to deal with any type of suddenly erupting national pandemic like Ebola or coronavirus.

    And because of this, which was by all measures a racially motivated attack on Obama, more than 1 million Americans died in a badly managed pandemic.

    Trump’s racism killed a million Americans.

    It undoubtedly exacerbated the problem for the entire world and his total kill count is likely much more than that.

    How can you let somebody who genocided millions of people through racism sit in the oval office?





  • When I get isekaied I’m going to genetically alter regular house flies and turn them into flies that can seek out any flung projectile and abscond with it for consumption.

    I’ll give them the power to travel from wherever and whenever they are to intersect with any weapon thrown against me.

    They’ll eat sling stones and will make short work of trebuchet rocks but my time flies really like an arrow.


  • The playbook as I understand it is that they offer a community improvement for free at first to get you hooked and then once everyone is entirely reliant upon it that’s when they do the rug pull.

    So there is a good chance that Google search will improve for the next 6 to 18 months while they are doing this just know that this is a temporary reprieve from the enshittification solely to prime the engine for the enshittification to get massively worse.


  • If I’m understanding it correctly this generator has like wires out that then connect to the lights or something right?

    If that’s the case you’ll need to see what kind of voltage it’s putting out to those wires and then you would want to splice those wires into diodes to prevent the current from leaking backwards out of the capacitors. Then attach as many capacitors as you need for the voltage that it is providing, remembering that it is okay to have higher voltage ratings but not lower voltage ratings.

    Chances are this will cause the light to be less bright as the capacitors are charging, so for the first few moments when you are riding it probably will be less bright but after the capacitors reach a steady charge you should see the light take a much longer time to dim down.
