Why did you have to remind me of my higher education failures

Alright, yeah, i tend to overthink stuff to the point of not actually doing the thing i wanted. Thanks for the push!

I’m using 2GB RAM at this moment, not accounting for Jellyfin and Nextcloud, and i don’t have info about their load because they’re on a windows server. That’s all running bare metal.

The offsite NAS is at my office, and is serving my office needs daily, i just added a backup of my home server to it.

Do you have any idea how much cores/ram should i leave to Proxmox?

That is also a fine approach, didn’t think of that. I never worked with Proxmox, and had no idea i can run containers directly on it. How would restoring a container work in that case?

Example, i purchase another machine, install fresh proxmox on it, can i simply restore the containers from the original machine without any additional configuration?

Alright, i’ll check it out, thanks!

Thanks for the input. Do you think i will be running out of RAM in that configuration, like other commenters noted?

The reason I’d like to have two separate VMs is easier backups/restores, that way i don’t have to care about the phisycal machine, if i want to move to something else i only have to restore the VM.

As for the backups, i have one local backup on a separate machine (NAS) that gets backed up to an external drive, then another dedicated backup NAS that backups the first NAS and is otherwise disconnected from the internet, local network and power (turns on only once a week to backup), then another backup that backups the backup NAS to an off-site NAS, that also has an external drive making daily backups. Is that ok?

Something like this?

Am i getting this right:

Install Debian, setup a VM for the service (2gb, 2 cores) Install Docker on the same Debian OS, without virtualization, deploy containers?

That’s exactly how i feel, apart from the premium androids, because even though i paid the premium price, it never felt as a good phone. Fast, maybe, well built, not really, and the apps are the same no matter what you paid so it kind of feels like you got ripped off.

I’m salty as hell because deep down i really want android phones to be great.

I gave up with trying to have serious conversations about not-serious topics with people in my life, it isn’t worth the time. I would much rather enjoy a meal or a drink and talk about something that actually requires some critical thinking than to just have piss contest on whose phone is better or whose car is faster, if you know what i mean.

I prefer my own intelligence even if flawed. I think that’s the beauty of it. Nothing against AI, but i don’t like the idea of running thoughts through an AI for a post on the internet, feels weird.

Yeah it looks like i need new friends, but that gets kinda hard when you’re older

I’m using nextcloud and synology drive (both available from the internet) with SMB fall-back through wireguard in case i need access to other folders on the server.

I don’t know about the support part, i was on call with support for the first few days about basic functionality regarding the phone and the laptop and they were very polite and helpful.

Also, there’s a easily accessible user manual for every device and every function on their website, something that can’t be said for a lot of other brands.

Yeah, i get that, sorry.

I wanted to write a quick post about this but then got carried away.

I agree with the chilling, i think most people are on some death rampage to money and that makes them angry and irrational

Isn’t it a company’s whole point of existence in this economy to gain profit?

I think all major brands are going in that direction. I work in electronics repair (not consumer electronics) and it used to be “a thing” to have schematics available for a device you are repairing. Not anymore, and for a long time.

I would love to try a Pixel, unfortunately it’s not sold in my area and i wouldn’t have any support if something went bad with it. The best phone i had was a Nokia, and it was the phone with the worst hardware, but the stock Android experience was beautiful.

How am i locked in? To what? My phone talks perfectly fine to my other computers as well. It just has some nifty features with the Mac. I have a lot of “same brand” tech that doesn’t have any distinguishable features.
