Boot a clonezilla or Linux CD, don’t use your windows install. It should have proper USB support as long as you actually have USB ports.

20 minutes, thanks to my dog. If not for him I’d easily go days.

Highly recommend dogs. 100% worth it.

Yes as long as the total power draw (watts / amps) doesn’t exceed the controller or the power supply you’re using.

You could plug two in even if there were only one set of terminals. You’re wiring them in parallel.

I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don’t want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.

Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc

They say they’re holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.

They didn’t say they were holding steady at ideal levels.

Yes, configuring memory to be used for zram would mark it as unavailable for kernel fs caching.

Does iostat show your disks being pegged when it’s slow? Odd that performance would be so bad on those specs, makes me think you have disk Io issues maybe.

FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

This guy made his own floppy and managed to write / read from it. It’s an interesting watch.

If you want to be lazy, use crontab @reboot

Making a systemd unit is the “correct” way

Block execution not entirely. You could chmod it as non-x and use inotifywatch to flip it back.

Edit: I misunderstood you, use inotifywait like the other person suggested.

The ceo stepped down and now its just being rolled fully into Microsoft.

Slackware on a whole lot of lettered floppy disks.

Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.

So true, plus lugging your gear out to the shore. This is why I only do boat dives.

Scuba diving is not an athletic sport. Air consumption is all about moving as little as possible once you’re down there.

Is your spine straight?

Are you not in any group chats with 50 people trying to organize something? They become a cluster fuck.

For direct chats, totally agreed. I’d be seriously insulted if you used an ai to talk in a 1:1 conversation.

Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.

Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.
