  • It seemed nice at first, but one major issue: GPU passthrough was a nightmare. It cant be done in the UI and I didnt understand fully how it worked. There are many different tutorials not by promox that are outdated or may not work. It was frustrating enough I jumped to NixOS. Other hiccups included having to go to the terminal to passthrough drives for openmediavault, but that one was kind of straightforward atleast, and it worked first time.

    In hindsight, I didnt actually need to virtualize everything at that level, so I never really had a good use case for it anyway. I use containers over entire VMs.

















  • One of my regrets was buying a particular hario hand grinder. To adjust the size, you had to rotate a little knob underneath the burrs and it didnt have numbers, and didnt always “notch” and would spin freely, so I couldnt even count the discrete bumbs I would turn the screw.

    I’ve since bought an encore, and I have a lot more confidence and convenience with my grinding.



  • I’ve been using OpenMediaVault inside Proxmox.

    I’ve been very happy with OMV, for the short time I’ve been playing with it. Its FOSS and the web interface makes it very clear all the layers of abstraction you can use to manage a NAS. I highly recommend it.

    And proxmox is good too, also FOSS (proxmox VE). I also has another slick web interface to manage stuff. I like the web interfaces because, albiet intimidating, it exposes alot of options available to me, which give me opportunities to research and understand how it works.

    But I’m still working on getting everything with it set up, so take my suggestion with a grain of salt!


  • Programs like paperlessngx do a great job for cateloguing and indexing documents. I would like something similar for tagging personal photos and videos. But I would think the idea behind paperless would generalize relatively easy, and there would be something like paperless thats more general purpose and not just for documents.

    You could technically make paperlessngx work, since you could catelogue photos, for instance. But it’s not flexible in the types of tags you can assign to it.

    Something like metabase baserow, like a database client with quality of life UI features, might also work for you. You could build your own table for articles of clothing, name the tags you want, and even add images inline with each row.

    EDIT: sorry, not metabase. I meant baserowbaserow.io
