Nothing too crazy. I use Proxmox on hardware that used to be a gaming rig (4th gen Intel) and I upped the RAM to 32GB.

  • Plex
  • Home Assistant
  • NextCloud
  • VM to host Duplicati + Samba which backs up some shared storage.
  • VM that contains the extremely specific build environment for one of my mechanical keyboards
  • VM that contains my ESP Home environment.
  • VM for Docker based web development because as good as WSL is, it still sucks sometimes.

Some of my “VMs” are actually LXCs but I can’t remember which are which at the moment.

Playing with ZFS was fun too, and it puts all that RAM to good use!

I’ve also been meaning to create a VM for Dokku, but I haven’t had a strong enough need yet.

This conversation reminds me of my favorite Firefox bug/request https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790

It only took 18 years to be addressed and closed. Hopefully this scrolling bug in WebKit fares better.

I’ve used restic in the past; it’s good but requires a great deal of setup if memory serves me correctly. I’m currently using Duplicati on both Ubuntu and Windows and I’ve never had any issues. Thanks for sharing your experience though; I’ll be vigilant.

Yes. And the best part is that I use my custom Dactyl Manuform like board and a vertical mouse while working; the computer I do gaming/creative stuff on still uses a regular flat board and a standard mouse and the pain doesn’t return as long as I use both systems regularly.

“Background playback” is behind the premium paywall; NOBODY gets YouTube PIP support on iOS; such a shame.

I repeat, even if you pay for premium you simply can’t do PIP using the official app. You can however use a browser and use PIP that way I think (there used to be some weird workaround but I’m not sure if it still exists).

Edit: I was (happily) wrong! I see now, they added it halfway though 2022 and I needed to go into settings and explicitly enable it. I’m a happy camper now! Thanks for the correction

Fascinating… because I’ve been trying to get this to work for like years… literal years. I’m very happy to be wrong about this.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT?
