Proxmox Setup:
- Specs:
- 128GB RAM DDR5 6000mhz (non-ECC, planning to upgrade soon)
- AMD 7950X3D
- RTX 4090 & RTX 4060ti

- Current VMs:
- Windows 11 LTSC (RTX 4090 passthrough): For Assetto Corsa in VR.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Barebones VM for my partner to RDP into from an old MBP, saving her the cost of a new laptop.
- Debian (RTX 4060ti passthrough): My daily driver.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Work VM (imo work is not the place to be tinkering, the office is on Windows so I’d better just join in).
- Windows 11 LTSC: For League of Legends, though I’m struggling with Vanguard… perhaps a blessing in disguise.
- Arch (RTX 4060ti passthrough): For those rare moments when I crave the bleeding edge (less frequent as I get older).

RPi
- YunoHost:
- GlitchSoc (modded Mastodon)
- GitLab: For my Git repositories.
- LinkStack: Repository of all my public-facing projects.
- BookStack: For publishing study guides and my PhD work.
- Docker:
- Jellyfin Stack: Including all the ‘arr’ services (too many to list/remember).

Network Infrastructure:
- Network: Isolated VLANs, some tunneling through public VPNs (think ExpressVPN) and others through a private VPS. Not going to go into too much detail here (security through obscurity and all that)

All this is running on a 25/10 Internet connection on DynamicIP, reverse proxies, DDNS and a QoS router was a lifesaver.

Yeah I originally trying to daily Linux for like the past 10 years but kept falling back to Windows, mainly due to the app compatibility.

A lot of people suggested dual booting but I found that it messed up disrupted my workflow, and Level 2 hypervisors were too slow to be practical

What finally made Linux stick for me was Proxmox… it let daily Linux and still have the option to quickly spin up a Windows VM with a GPU if I needed something urgently, without the hassle of rebooting.

So now, six months later, I’m dailying Arch and also self-hosting a bunch of stuff on Debian, and I haven’t looked back.

I think it’s about convenience.

@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn’t some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it’s happened before?

I gave away my wife’s Wyze camera and moved to Ubiquiti. It cost me a small fortune.

Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?

@Squizzy @yamanii This extension does exactly that (at least on desktop) and stops doom scrolling without removing them entirely: https://github.com/doma-itachi/Youtube-shorts-block

Yes, I have noticed a trend of homelab hobbyists going back to something like this:

1. Soulseek -> Nicotine+ for plentiful, lossless content
2. Jellyfin for self-hosting
3. Infuse for streaming the content remotely to save storage on your phone.

I don’t endorse piracy for ethical reasons, but I get why this is trending up:
-Increasingly aggressive pricing models
-Service quality and content accessibility going down

Really makes it hard for consumers…
