I really wanted it to work, for me it made the most sense I thought, as little virtualization as I could do. VM felt like such a heavy layer in between - but it just wasn’t meant to work that way. You have to essentially run your LXC as root, meaning that it’s essentially just the host anyway so it can run docker. Then when you get down to it, you’ve lost all the benefits of the LXC vs just running docker. Not to mention that anytime there was even am minor update to proxmox something usually broke.

I’m surprised Proxmox hasn’t added straight-up support for containers, either by docker, podman, or even just containerd directly. But, we aren’t it’s target audience either.

I’m glad you can take my years of struggling to find a way to get it to work well and learn from it.

Not at all. Proxmox does a great job at hosting VMs and giving a control plane for them - but it does not do containers well. LXCs are a thing, and it hosts those - but never try to do docker in an LXC. (I tried so many different ways and guides and there were just too many caveats, and you end up always essentially giving root access to your containers, so it’s not great anyway). I’d like to see proxmox offer some sort of docker-first approach will it will manage volumes at the proxmox level, but they don’t seem concerned with that, and honestly if you’re doing that then you’re nearing kubernetes anyway.

Which is what I ended up doing - k3s on proxmox VMs. Proxmox handles the instances themselves, spins up a VM on each host to run k3s, and then I run k3s from within there. Same paradigm as the major cloud providers. GKE, AKS, and EKS all run k8s within a VM on their existing compute stack, so this fits right in.

I think at this point I agree with the other commenter. If you’re strapped for storage it’s time to leave Synology behind, but it sounds more like it’s time to separate your app server from your storage server.

I use proxmox, and it was my primary when I got started with the same thing. I recommend build out storage in proxmox directly, that will be for VM images and container volumes. Then utilize regular backups to your Synology box. That way you have hot storage for drives and running things, cold storage for backups.

Then, inside your vms and containers you can mount things like media and other items from your Synology.

For you, I would recommend proxmox, then on top of that a big VM for running docker containers. In that VM you have all of your mounts from Synology into that VM, like Jellyfin stuff, and you pass those mounts into docker.

If you ever find yourself needing to stretch beyond the one box, then you can think about kubernetes or something, but I think that would be a good jump for now.

I don’t know of any millennial or younger who assumes there will be a safety net for them at the end of the road. We just don’t trust those in charge to keep it. I’ll fight for it, I paid into it and I want others to have it, but I can’t bank on it either

Researchers always make some of the worst coders unfortunately.

Scientists, pair up with an engineer to implement your code. You’ll thank yourself later.

I don’t blame them, they come from Reddit and expect the exact same. To them it looks like a feature is missing - when in reality it was deliberately chosen

OP don’t take the downvotes personally, it’s just that the question has been asked many times before

Yeah personally I see it as Microsoft was forced to allow kernel access, and crowd strike proved why the courts shouldn’t be allowed to make a technical decision like that

Not the original, but from my experience, I believe this enabled the toggle which tells the game that you support HDR, proton then picks up the HDR signal and displays it, the rest is on your display.

It’s probably either failed or they faked the size, and that’s the average speed of the entire operation now. But yes, it’s abysmal

Agree with this guy. If you like, I’ve done the tech job hunt too many times now, feel free to DM me your linked in and I’d be happy to give impressions on it

There is more than one spiderman

I honestly agree. The casting of the movies was perfect in my opinion. Mr and Mrs Weasley. Snape. Trewlawney, mcGonagle. Harry, Ron, Hermione. It was great casting up and down. They’re never going to get a cast like that again, so honestly who cares. That’s how I view this whole show. It’s just a cash grab, so who cares.

The highest bar to getting into Linux isn’t the technical, the setup, the hardware or anything. It’s the people the ego. Those have always been the largest barrier.

(smugly) I won’t take that raise because my tax rate would go up. You’re a sucker if you want to take that raise. You make more money by taking less money.

I’ve personally never cared too much. It’s what it costs to have society. I agree with others where I don’t like half of it going to the military, but other than that I view it as a good thing. I’m doing okay, I can afford to help others get by a bit. I also get benefits, I get our local transit, we get roads, I like fire departments, parks, walkways, it’s just paying my share so I get to enjoy those things. And if for some reason I wasn’t doing okay, I would feel okay using those safety nets too

Oof, coming from a family who also was casually racist like that I completely feel you. I don’t have any off the top of my head, but I know I let slip racist things I didn’t think anything about until I got reactions due to my ignorant parents

I think a good chunk of them are just confused by going to join-lemmy and not be given a sign up in their face. Sure, we know that about 5 seconds of reading comprehension skill would get them where they want to go, but the vast majority of users don’t have that. Look how many people will walk up to a cash register/till with a sign on it that says “credit card only” and then be confused that they don’t take cash. Most people don’t read anymore.

Maybe, but I believe in Occam’s razer. The simplest solution is probably correct.

The average user is incredibly lazy. Insanely lazy. Reddit has taught them that they should be just spoonfed content constantly with no assistance. People aren’t used to going out to find communities anymore. To them even these basic concepts are then “frustrating” and “complex”. It’s unfortunate, but that’s really how lazy they are.

They can’t go to the search bar, type in television, and hit subscribe, it’s literally too much for them.

This is another great example of pidgeonholing a decent idea into the wrong tech. Lemmy is federated, but is meant to be an open messageboard style of communication. This would be better suited for an actual chat/audio protocol, like Matrix or XMPP.

When I lived in rural America I lauded the local politicians for being happy data centers were coming. They told the old farmers it was because they were up and coming, they were going to become the next tech capital! Plus think of the jobs!

Of course us actually in the tech industry know why. It’s cheap. The land is cheap, the power and water are cheap, and the people who would notice are few because they’re… Farmers. The politics are red so they’re happy to ease any red tape to get it passed. As for jobs, its pretty well known that the data center jobs are minimal compared to the corporate HQ, and even then those who would work there would more than likely move there.

It’s all around a bad idea for small communities. The only ones who benefit are the politicians who green light it
