Thank you for this info!

It was under $2/gal during the first summer with covid.

My website/blog is in the cloud but anything that needs local storage or internet access (everything else) is virtualized in a container on proxmox.

Proxmox absolutely changed the game for me learning Linux. Spinning up LXC containers in seconds to test out applications or simply to learn different Linux OSs without worrying about the install process each time has probably saved me days of my life at this point. Plus being able to use and learn ZFS natively is really cool.

Same. I’m using a 2012 Mac mini running Proxmox attached to an OWC Thunderbay 4. It’s old but does everything I need it to do.

The smooth black parts, yes. The gunky/bumpy parts on the handle, no. That comes from years of continued use and improper cleaning where new oil polymerizes over leftover particulate the next time it’s cooked on.

But I wouldn’t recommend a dishwasher cycle as the method to use to strip your pan either. Self cleaning cycle on the oven should take care of it.

Amateur data hoarder here; teach me your ways

I was in art school when Tumblr was at its peak. Looking back it was dumb, just resharing pictures and gifs but I had so much fun. I met so many people through Tumblr that I’m still in contact with.

I see people listing things I’ve never heard about…I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I’m hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that’s running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

• Photoprism
• wireguard
• web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
• plex
• filebrowser
• pi-hole
• homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I’m about to buy a house. It’s crazy how much I’m throwing at an 11 year old computer and it’s handling it all quite well.
