I agree, but it’s clear that OP doesn’t want a real solution, because those apparently are boring. Instead, they want to try something new. NVMe/TCP is something new. And it still allows for having VMs on one system and storage on another, so it’s not entirely off topic.

If you want to try something that’s quite new and mostly unexplored, look into NVMe over TCP. I really like the concept, but it appears to be too new to be production ready. Might be a good fit for your adventurous endeavors.

Can’t go wrong with Proxmox. Though, I would recommend thinking about how you want to integrate Storage here. For most of the VMs you’re planning on running now that’s probably not a huge issue currently, but in the long run you’ll want to also replace Google Drive, Photos and Netflix And then you wish you’d thought about storage earlier.

Consider whether you want to deploy a separate NAS box (I can recommend TrueNAS) and do network storage in these cases (and how exactly that’s going to look like), or if you want to put it all on your Proxmox system and maybe run TrueNAS as a VM.

I totally get it, I live next to that big pain in the ass as well. Luckily, he hasn’t invaded us yet, but I feel it’s only a matter of time. And what Snowden does here certainly doesn’t help.

But he could have just done nothing and lived a very happy life. Instead, he chose to give up his happy life to uncover the NSA scandal, knowing full well that it will absolutely wreck his life.

Personally, I think he did enough for the greater good there. This isn’t his war, and if he has to post some lies to get a bit of normalcy back in his life, I can understand that. I wish it wasn’t that way, but I can understand it.

Think of it from Snowdens perspective. You get to choose: either be tortured for the rest of your life, or chill in Russia and pretend Putin is a nice guy. I know what I’d pick.

Haven’t watched the video but why is the keyboard popping out on one side on the thumbnail? Not having the front fall off seems more important to me than fast boot up times. But maybe that’s just me.

(Yes, this is partly a shitpost comment. Don’t take it too seriously)

What are you talking about? The syntax is basically C with a few $ and -> sprinkled in, and it has just about as many security issues as any other language. Plus, it has been receiving a lot of great new features over the last few years.

I think you’re confusing WordPress with PHP.

Haven’t used it myself, but maybe QubesOS? Seems similar to what you’re describing.

Whenever this topic comes up, I’d like to refer to Robert Miles and his continuing excellent work on the subject.

Duh

(I know, you watched a recent WAN show and just wanted to brag with the word puffery)

Kudos on the project! I often thought about building something similar myself, because I wasn’t happy with what’s out there. Everything is so complicated to set up and way too oversized for a simple log collection service, or the UI is just bad and super unintuitive for no reason. Glad you’re brining some new wind into the space.

I think it’s just because all the stuff has so much sludge from the flood on it that it looks washed up, like most AI content does. There are almost no straight edges, just like with AI, because everything has been roughed up by the water.

Yeah, like I said, they did a great job. 10-30 years ago. Not anymore. Just because something was true in the past doesn’t mean it’s still true now.

I don’t know. Them being successful to me sounds like saying kidnappers can get girls. Might technically be true, but misleading. Microsoft managed to kidnap the modern economy by having had a good product previously. If we were to reset things, nobody in their right mind would go with any of the modern Microsoft products. They’re all objectively worse than their counterparts. But due to economic reasons and probably something to do with Stockholm syndrome and laziness, people are trapped in the Microsoft ecosystem.

Because it doesn’t really solve much. After every update of external libraries, do you go through all the diffs to see if there is malicious code? Of course you don’t. And even if you would, it’s not even always possible to spot it. So all locking packages does is postpone the problem to when you eventually update. As an added bonus, you’re now vulnerable to all the legitimate issues that get fixed in those updates you’re not installing regularly.

I was more referring to OPs comment on how that statement is soulless. Unfortunately I only knew about this after reading it, because I can’t read minds. Who cares about corporate speech if they close down anyways?

Who cares?

I think the next thing people should complain about is the abysmal 256 GB of storage. That’s barely enough to fit the OS plus updates at this point. Should be at least 512 GB, given how basically free NVMe storage is these days.
