This was the first hit on proxmox vps.

I have no idea if they are good or not, but this kind of service might be what you’re looking for?

We need more instances, but we need to be a lot smarter about the structure. I think we will only be able to grow larger if we make a more intentional separation between topic-based instances and “people-home” instances, so that we can have a better spread of the load.

I don’t know if it would help with load-balancing, but I feel hash tags would be better than communities.

For me, it’s the ability to add multiple apps to folders with a checklist.

So use syncthing on all your devices. It will let you selectively sync folders.

I ran upon this video today. It might be helpful.

Thanks, those are good links. I don’t know anything about power supplies/demands, sorry I can’t be a better conversation partner.

There might be similar boards on AliExpress, but I haven’t seen ones with as many SATA ports.

The are similar (the same?) boards all over Amazon and AliExpress. I would be interested in knowing what you find out. Good luck!

I’ve been looking at this for a bit: https://a.co/d/2FMhmIY

I haven’t checked any reviews, but it might be something to look into.

Not OP, but I use this download manager. It has been good.

For me, pros are:

• Fun to learn something new
• Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
• I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
• Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.

Cons

• Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
• As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
• With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
• I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.

Hope this is helpful.

I was looking into Tailscale, but it got me a little worried. I’m not very knowledgeable, so I hope someone can correct me

They don’t allow ssh, so you have to give your keys over them and they manage your ssh connection? That seems idiotic. Surely that can’t be correct?

I’m my use case, I was wanting to rsync to an off-site Synology from a Linux box. Synology also doesn’t allow ssh over their VPN service - frustrating.

I don’t know why the numbers were trending down the past few months:

Maybe they were weeding out bots?

Thanks, bought one!

Any way to power the drives if you don’t have any more free power cables? Just have to buy a new PSU?

Fucking genocide Joe.

Exactly, you have people protesting a genocide, and then there are students carrying the flag of the genocidal nation to provoke the protestors. To me, I would probably treat it as a white supremacist carrying a Nazi flag to a George Floyd protest.

I agree with the other poster, this article is revolting in it’s one-sided treatment of the issue.

I think you can agree that we can support a group that is suffering from genocide to fight back and it isn’t necessarily antisemitic. Of course, there may be antisemitism from some sectors, but Israel conflates criticism and antisemitism all the time. As a result, at this point, I don’t think it is a big concern. Allowing the protestors to fight against a genocidal nation is the more important issue.

Good on the faculty.

We can continue to see Israel’s playbook here. Any criticism of their despicable actions (was genocide ever mentioned in the article?) gets converted to antisemitism.

I hope the protestors keep it up. Force the media outlets to say the word genocide. Don’t let them ignore what’s going on with the Palestinians.

Call it the the genocidal problem. The issues isn’t with Jews in general, just people who are carrying out and supporting the genocide. I would lump Biden in with them as well.

I thought one of the best lessons was that you don’t deal with an aggressive and genocidal nation through appeasement.

We should be fighting against Israel, not appeasing them.
