That there’s still no genuinely good #RDP client for #Android is such a bummer. Why is that, seriously? Are people just not using #Android devices as remote clients for #Linux or #Windows, or what’s going on here?

(And yes, I know there are alternatives to #RDP. I tried them. The user experience is just… bad. Like really bad.)

What makes it worse: modern #AndroidPhones are actually pretty great. Many come with a full-fledged Android desktop environment, and once you plug them into any USB-C dock, you basically have a powerful little #Computer — just with a really limited operating system. (Same applies to the #iPhone, by the way. I tried that too for the same use case.)

All it really needs is a solid #VirtualMachine setup (like #Debian or similar) or a decent #RemoteDesktop solution. But here we are, still stuck in a bad UI hell.

With a real (virtual) #Linux there would be no need to have both, laptop and phone, but one would do.

hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

I like ZFS
but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

I also have one
#proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and quite fast, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

I don't think there's been any change on the
#BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

I'm open to
#LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

Alpha Release of #Proxmox #Datacenter Manager Offers First Glimpse
#ProxmoxDatacenterManager introduces a centralized interface for managing Proxmox Virtual Environment nodes and clusters. Management capabilities are currently basic, including functions such as resource monitoring, power controls, and #virtualmachine migration, aims to simplify larger-scale deployments. Future iterations promise to expand functionality, including software-defined networking (SDN).

#homelab update!

Spent all of last night and a good chunk of today combining my compute and storage servers into a single machine! Will I regret this? Maybe. Is it cool as hell? Absolutely!

Using #proxmox as my host OS. Currently setting it up, and I can tell that it’ll be awesome, but it’s definitely got a learning curve. Currently setting up #openmediavault in a #virtualmachine and passing through my hard drives in a RAID. I will report back 🫡

Hey, all you #selfhosting #nerds out there! We need you and your #bandwidth. If you have some spare #compute and #network capacity please consider setting up an #ArchiveTeam #Warrior #virtualmachine or #Docker image. There's an official #project to #backup the #US #government's data. If you already have a warrior appliance running, consider setting the active project to #USGovernment

Proxmox-NUT Homelab HOWTO - Step 7 : Setup Backup Endpoints / Backup / Restore

In this step we go over how to setup various backup sources in Proxmox. We backup a Windows VM, purge it and then restore it back from the backup. We cover topics such as backup modes and the scheduler.

Ja, schon sehr häufig, aber nicht um Windoof im Internet zu nutzen. Hin und wieder muss man einem Windows-Nutzer etwas erklären, dann fahre ich in Windeseile eine (...), XP, W7, 8, 10 oder jetzt auch 11 hoch über eine #VM.

Der große Vorteil: solltest Du einen Fehler machen, so eine #virtualmachine-"Installation" ist auch sofort wieder gelöscht. Mehr Infos | Hashtags drücken. Das Basissystem bleibt ja unberührt !
