  • I have a proxbox with a R5 4600G even under extreme loads the stock cooler is fine. Honestly once prox is setup you don’t need a GPU. The video output of proxmox is just a terminal (Debian) so as long as things are running normally you can do everything through the web interface even without the gpu. I do highly recommend a second GPU (either a G series CPU or a cheap GPU) if you want to try proxmox GPU passthrough. I’ve done it and can say it is extremely difficult to get working reliably with just a single GPU.


  • I’ll freely admit to skimming a bit but yes proxmox can run trunas inside of it. Proxmox is powerful but might be a little frustrating to learn at first. For example by default proxmox expects to use the boot drive for itself and it’s not immediately clear how to change that to use that disk for other things.

    The noctua dh-15 is overkill for that cpu btw unless you’re doing an overclock which I wouldn’t recommend for server use. What’s your plans for the 1060? If using proxmox you’ll want to get one of the “G” series AMD CPUs do that proxmox binds to the apu and then you should be able to do gpu passthrough on the 1060.





  • No lol It’s so low maintenance that it took me about a month to figure out why it kept crashing. The answer was completely my fault as I forgot I gave the container running it only about 8gb of disk space and it filled up.

    I only log into the console to check some metrics/verify no issues/run updates and I maybe do that once every 3 months. I don’t have my pi-hole set up the same way as the basic tutorial but as far as lists go I just subscribed and forgot.

    Worth noting my pihole is really only good for banner ads or ads that rely on DNS. YouTube ads require a clientside adblocker so far.








  • In a nutshell (eli5) swap is sorta “very slow ram” which is actually just a section of your hard drive /SSD/some other bizarre medium. It is generally used to temporarily store information that might be needed later but would waste valuable “fast ram” which is your actual ram sticks.

    What’s going on here is this user mounted Google drive in a way that the operating system can interact more directly with it, and it appears to have a set amount of space. Because we’ve mounted Google Drive we can tell our operating system to use it as swap…very very slow silly swap, but swap nonetheless.

    So that’s exactly what they did, they told the operating system to set aside X amount of Google Drive for swap, and when looking at the resource monitor we can see the “swap” appears as “more ram”.

    Hope that helps, please ask if I confused you :)

    Yeah can you guys quit pretending having autism is some fantastic thing? It really sucks sometimes and I’ve never felt or met anyone like me who thinks this way at all. In general we wish we could communicate better and it seems like this is just going to cause more division as it basically puts “neurotypical” vs anything that isn’t that. We should definitely understand what goes on with people on the spectrum but don’t pretend it’s a fun time.


  • To add to this Tritium is pretty safe all things considered. I’ve carried a tritium vial in my pocket for the last 13 years without issues (till it broke the other day :( ) Tritium can’t even penetrate your skin with its low level of radiation and in the environment has a half life of roughly 3 days.

    Not understanding nuclear isn’t a good reason to be afraid of it. Radiation is absolutely dangerous in some forms…but a sun burn is just a radiation burn and we still aren’t applying sunscreen.
