Interesting. I’ll dig a little more then. Most of my vm experience has been on desktop for various reasons, and it’s almost always been a pain in the ass and not worth the effort.
I assume the kvm stuff can be running a minimal os, sort of like an alpine docker image?
For the most part, this old bucket is doing just fine with probably more than I should be throwing at it.
I’m curious as to why proxmox and VMs over a minimal Debian install with docker containers, though? At least, from my understanding, proxmox would be requiring a lot more hardware overhead when I’m mostly just running emby/jellyfin, nextcloud, homeassistant (and related services) and frigate (with a coral).
It’s definitely a lot, but I also rarely see cpu use over 70% (typically much lower), though frigate likes to cause problems occasionally. And I’ve never seen a concerning amount of ram usage.
Definitely getting one of those little n100s soon, and will probably move the home automation stuff over there, and slowly transition the current box into being a nas and nothing more.
I think you’re right. I’m just trapped in the cycle of over-thinking and second guessing my knowledge and capabilities.
Are y’all me? Mid 40s, still mentally 20-something, can’t read silkscreen pin numbers, and back pain? It’s the best
Learning to solder is incredibly helpful with getting your esphome devices off the desk and into real-world use.
Don’t cheap out on the iron, though. Hakko and Weller are the two brands I’m familiar with and “everyone” seem to trust. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars, but the quality gap between $30 and $60 is very obvious.
This is one of those instances where the idea of “a poor craftsman blames his tools” falls apart. I was using a crappy non-adjustable pen and could never achieve good, reliable results despite having proper technique. Then I got a decent Weller adjustable unit, and suddenly everything was “perfect”.
If you’re looking for additional toys, a 3D printer is insanely useful for creating bespoke cases for your projects ;)
Hehe. This is true.
But there is also a big quality difference between Klingon and languages like German,Spanish, and Japanese.
I fell into serious FOMO b/c of some friends joking around about the owl harassing them and then getting into daily xp competitions… so I joined and tried Klingon.
It is very not good. The sentences it builds for learning are…weird at best, and the audio was inconsistent. Maybe it’s my learning style conflicting with how Duo does things, but… I hated it.
I was actually thinking about this again today, and wondering if it was an adaptive lighting issue. I’ll give that a go and see what happens.
Edit: came across this: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting#bulb-bulb-specific-issues
Just configured it as described, so we’ll see…
I’ve got about 30.
I did channel switching a while ago, and nothing has changed in that area.
There’s a possible bug in the latest Z2M release, which lines up with when my troubles started. Sounds like a fix is in the works, so hopefully that will resolve things.
Seconding Obsidian LiveSync. Fabulous plugin + container
