Chrome Remote Desktop works well and doesn’t require a monitor (at least not one that’s turned on).

Maybe when IPv6 is widely available, we’ll stop seeing this… For now, it sucks, but IPv4 blocks are expensive. Price or external IPv4, something’s gotta give.

I upgrade as soon as new versions come out, I like living on the edge :) if something goes wrong, there are backups.

As for musl, I haven’t mentioned it since OP wants to run containers - and in that case, musl doesn’t matter. And for running programs natively, many are available as packages (with any musl incompatibilities already resolved). But yeah, if you venture outside these limits, you can definitely run into issues with musl.

Everybody is so quick to suggest Debian (and it’s a fine choice), but Alpine is great for such things, as well. It’s blazing fast, frequently updated, has most packages you could ever want in a server environment (not that it matters if you’re planning on using containers). I’ve been using Alpine for years as my docker host, and not once have I thought “man, I wish it was debian instead”.

That is a complete overkill. You don’t need a cluster of Proxmox nodes for personal hosting. And you certainly don’t need a 24-port switch.

The story here is very selectively presented to suit the points made by OP. So either OP is creating propaganda, or creating new propaganda. So are you, when you are talking about “well documented atrocities” out of context.

Ah, the sweet sweet taste of anti-Israel propaganda… How long have you been drinking that?

Huh, so basically, if somebody gives you an Iron Dome installation, and then I start shooting rockets at you, you are going to shrug it off? You are a hypocrite, debating about stuff you clearly know very little about (from reading biased news sources, no doubt).

Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory and started shooting down unarmed civilians. You can be as peace-loving as you want (I, too, think Israel could’ve done more to progress peace with Palestinians), but to sum it up as (Hammas isn’t blameless, but Israel is responsible because it has more firepower is idiotic at best.

What’s happening right now is murder of innocent people, clear as day. If you want to seek excuses for the perpetrators, something is really wrong with you.

A custom made Google Sheet to track everything - maintenance, repairs, insurance, and fuel ups. I’d like to move to an app that supports all of the above, but getting everything into an importable format was messy (tried it with Fuelio), and I gave up after a while. The fact that I’m also writing down parts purchased prior to installation does not make this easier.

My plan is to try and convert it all into plaintext accounting format (probably Beancont with a tailor-made plugin), but so far I’ve been mostly kicking that ball down the street.

Yeah. And you can also develop skills in jail - doesn’t mean we should be throwing people in jail indiscriminately and then argue it’s for their own benefit so they can learn new skills.

It’s a bit old (hasn’t been updated in 4 years), but works great.

Ah. Sarcasm is difficult to see in text based communication.

Not sure what Linux ISOs are, but it’s pretty rare that something is only available with Dolby Vision and not HDR10. Have you verified that HDR10 gives you trouble? 4K HDR is also usually HDR10, unless specifically marked as DV, in my experience.

Anyway, another option, if you don’t care for HDR, is to transcode/tonemap everything in the background. This way, you don’t have to worry about performance during playback.

Android TV should handle HDR automatically (and tonemap it if needed).

Green and pink tint sounds like the source is Dolby Vision, not HDR10. So, 2 questions:

1. Why do you need HDR sources if your displays don’t support HDR?
2. Assuming the answer to (1) is that you’re future-proofing, why not just get HDR10 files instead of Dolby Vision?

Hear me out. Why don’t we create a paywalled API for 3rd party apps (like Threads), that will end up costing, say, $20 million annually to use at Meta’s rate… And then use the proceeds to keep all the instances running, and for other shenanigan.

Proxmox backs up the VMs -> backups are uploaded to the cloud.

Not OP, but similar setup (Proxmox with docker on a VM). The VM (plus a few LXCs) are backed up daily using the backup built into Proxmox, and those backups are mirrored to the cloud with rclone.

That’s a really nice setup! I run most of my things on a docker swarm (the docker hosts are VMs running on Proxmox hosts), though that was an overkill in retrospect, and causes more problems with no practical advantages.

The range of services I run is similar to yours, but I also have a bunch of services for personal finance (beancont/fava, as well as automatic importers and such), a more extensive media setup (with qBitTorrent and *arr apps), a gitea server, and a vaultwarden instance.

That awesomebudget looks nice! I’m more of a beancont/fava guy, and too invested in my setup to try something vastly different - but it sure looks like a cool option for people starting out.

Depends what you’re transcoding to… show me a CPU (without a built in encoder like recent ones) that can handle a 4K HDR transcode…
