Better idea:
Buy pc from big box store
Return it because you can’t use it without creating a windows account online
Repeat once a month at every store in town until they know you by name

And a dns resolver resolvconf :(

What a time to be alive

HA is on the same proxmox host as the router. So yeah I can end up locked out. Hasn’t happened yet tho! The relay is on my test machine, it’s always nvidia that crashes there.

Does a $12 Shelly plug count?

Can you ctl+alt+4 to another terminal? Could you ssh on from another machine?

Even my proxmox web interface lasts deeper into a reboot than sshd. It boots you immediately while you can watch the vms shut down for the next 3 minutes in the browser.

It’s been a year, are these issues fixed?

Of all the nightmare rebuilds, nextcloud scares me the most. I have backup images of that machine laying around like drink coasters.

I rebooted a machine that had an Nvidia driver crash. It didn’t finish the reboot, but it did seem to stop sshd so I can’t get in until I get home and have physical access. I had a ping running so I could watch, it never dropped. 🫠

Lesson here: put your experimental boxes on a WiFi plug and set them to boot on AC restoration.

I love apt more than I love cinnamon, now scram!

I love cinnamon, now you kids get off my lawn

dhcpcd overwrites is. I only have one static address, but DHCP does other stuff too it seems

These are server VMs. I gave up and did chattr +i and it does what I tell it to now.

Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I’ve caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.

Got .iso storage after chia crashed
Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out

But I’ve never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.

That’s what I like about the hiks I have. They are configurable from the web browser. Some of my amcrest I had to bang an API over curl to keep the time zone set

My amcrest cameras have been good, but hikvision has been even better. They’re sneaky though so make sure they’re on an isolated vlan.

That would make the husk of the company truly worthless, and I’m not sure private equity will allow that.
