Yeah, I think I’ll go with proxmox as a first attempt — it seems to fit what I’m looking for and the feedback here has been pretty positive on that front. My main concern now is figuring out how to provision the hdds so that a jellyfin lxc can utilize it, nextcloud could use it, and I can save (configuration) backups to it. I’m comfortable with zfs in general (run that on my desktop), but I was under the impression that raid10 would be more performant with the same redundancy, when using 4 disks in raid10. Any one disk could fail, writes are at the speed of the disk because of mirror, and reads are 2x. I lose usable disk space, but I think 16tb is enough for me (for now of course haha). Am I wrong though on the zfs vs raid10? I guess actually I could use zfs, create a single pool with two mirrored vdevs. I am not sure how that would affect future growth, but should do really well for now. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to do, in your opinion?
Amazing, thank you! I think I’m gonna have to be okay with not nailing it on the first go and trialing it out the next few days. Step one sounds like proxmox to me :)
Hey, thanks so much for the response, this is great! Love the idea of offloading ai workloads to their on vms to make facilitating managing resources easier.
Also, big thanks for the recommended software — very helpful list for me to look through, especially on the AI front. Do you have any notes on configuration for those in particular?
Thanks for the reply!
My understanding was that with only 4 drives, raidz would lower read throughput and not add much space / redundancy. Is that not true? Would you mind giving me a few more details on how you’d set up a 4x8tb raidz array (or could point me to a tool / resource that could help me? I haven’t been able to fully convince myself either way)

“ Like demanding ISPs provide at least one tier of service poor people could afford. Or encouraging networks built with taxpayer money be open access, which, as we’ve discussed at length, helps boost broadband competition and lower costs. As well as encouragement that taxpayer money be spent on the most future-proof technology (fiber) where applicable. Pretty common sense stuff. “
I presume funding or continued funding was contingent on these sorts of things, which is probably why they (republicans, corporate class ISPs, etc) didn’t like it.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Donut Lab and the electric motors everyone has been talking aboutEnglish8·4 months agoI thought a big problem with these types of wheels was dealing with the added unsprung mass?
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Non-US alternatives to digital servicesEnglish5·5 months agoBookshop.org just recently added ebooks, and I believe they have a UK store, for anyone trying to buy ebooks in a more ethical way. It allows you to select a local bookstore of your choosing and support them when you purchase books. They take a small fee to cover their warehousing and shipping I think, but pass along a lot of the profit (80%) to the local bookstore. They’re a certified b corp and their bylaws say they can’t sell to a major retailer (eg amazon).

I’d say it’s more corporate for Sonos to try to develop yet another closed wireless audio sync protocol just to force users to sign in through their app so they can data scrape you. In the absence of a true open wireless sync protocol (maybe there is one and I’m unaware, in which case I’d like to be educated!) I’d rather them use a more widely adopted protocol than roll their own.
Edit: I think maybe I misunderstood the comment I replied to and they were agreeing with this statement in general.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Sonos CEO behind disastrous app exits with $1.9 million severanceEnglish10·6 months agoSonos actually uses AirPlay as well. Frankly, they lose when it comes to multiroom audio vs that interface, and they need to make their money off of selling speakers (compatible with AirPlay and other services). Their problem is they wanted to be a clearing house of users listening habits, where you’d need to use the app for them to track that (where you sign up / in with your services); that’s asinine, and they just need to be a speaker company.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•[UPDATED, probably solved) Need some help. System locked up, had to force power off, now gaming performance is bad.English3·6 months agoProbably nothing (because your gpu has some power spikes, just not hitting max power), but I’d make sure the integrated gpu in the bios is turned off; it’s possible something happened when playing, and the bios reverted to selecting the igpu on your 7900x3d. When I first booted my 7800x3d this was occurring, and I fixed it by turning it off in the bios.

There can be corruption in governments and government programs too — but still the data says they do a better job at optimizing public health than for profit environments. Not letting perfect be the enemy of good, or better, it’s pretty clear from what I can gather that non profit is better than for profit, and optimized single payer is better than both of those.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clipEnglish2·6 months agoNot all BCBS plans are nonprofit actually. And most comparisons I can find for nonprofit medical facilities show lower costs. I haven’t found many studies on pure on profit health insurance vs for profit insurance, but I did find a Harvard paper which compared specifically BCBS plans that converted from non profit to for profit, and here’s an excerpt from that:
Looping back to the theoretical models of NFP and FP health care organizations, the findings are consistent with models in which NFPs prioritize enrollment over profits (equivalently, models in which FPs prioritize profits over enrollment). While theoretically this difference in emphasis might not manifest in higher premiums or lower quality because FPs could be more efficient and find it optimal to maintain substantially the same premiums and quality as NFPs (and still reap higher profits via lower operating costs and/or medical expenses), empirically we do find there is a tradeoff: consumers face higher premiums when large NFPs convert to FP status. Although we do not directly study quality, we find no indirect evidence of quality improvements, as inferred from a model of employee healthplan choice. Moreover, we do find evidence that rivals of converting plans experienced sizeable increases in medical spending following conversion, a result that suggests FPs are likelier than NPs to engage in risk selection practices (e.g., denying or deterring enrollment of individuals with poor health or high health risk, a practice that was legal during the study period).
Here NP is nonprofit, FP is for profit, and NFP is not for profit. Bold emphasis is mine. You can read the study here:
So I would find actually the opposite of what you said, in aggregate, according to this study. Secondly, I still argue for expanded Medicaid and a public option / single payer. I’ve worked with large population datasets from US and internationally — invariably the health outcomes and monitoring, quality of data and followup, are all better for single payer systems.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clipEnglish2·6 months agoI’m not suggesting it’s perfect — I’m suggesting it’s better. I’m suggesting optimizing a healthcare system around profit instead of population level health measures shouldn’t be done. I’m not suggesting that making things be non profit or single payer will magically resolve all issues, only that it will be better.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which default software do you replace after you install your distro?English3·6 months agoFirefox based browsers don’t as far as I know support protocols direct to usb connections, so if you’re using a web app based application (for example, some keyboard software) to flash your layouts you need a chromium based browser, and people generally choose brave over chrome (though I think it would be 100% fine to use chromium with hardening but that’s difficult with some of the upstream changes making chrome extension store less helpful — built in mitigations upstream as found in brave may be helpful in this regard, and faster).
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clipEnglish16·6 months agoNonprofits are non stock issuing; since there are no shares, they can’t have any buybacks.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clipEnglish6·6 months agoHaha well we should have 2Factor but I just meant Medicare for All
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clipEnglish21·6 months agoInsurance companies should be forced to be nonprofits.
Edit: I mean we should have MfA but at the least hospitals and insurance companies should be nonprofit.
AliasAKA@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•China wants to dominate in AI — and some of its models are already beating their U.S. rivalsEnglish6·7 months agoTLDR:
Qwen model is popular and DeepSeek R1 seems good, and they’re based in China. There is investment because they think that’s where the future commerce will be (which to me is a little like the dot com bubble but, whatever). Lack of chips can be problematic.
Oh interesting. I’ll give gdm a try and see if that gives any joy. Thanks for this tip, will return tomorrow with update on this particular change
Update: alas, no dice for this change.
