Seems like you’re nesting virtualization too much. Stick with 1 level of virtualization. If it’s a server, I’d use proxmox on bare metal. Its a server so split services per VM/container. Install OMV on its own VM. Another for docker, with docker services ran by a non root user.

I dont need to buy anything but I’d definitely subscribe. I used r/homelabsales a lot when buying equipment. I’m not in need right now but I would in the future.

What does this mean exactly? Is this similar to NICs have SR-IOV and we can split it up the GPU like vGPU?

For $100 it doesn’t seem bad. It has hot swappable red kailh switches. I don’t know any major keyboard that sells hot swap switches. What makes keyboards worth it especially at $300? I only have corsair and logitech keyboards but hot swappable and it looks simple to open are features new to me.

What other federated platforms do you look into? Most of the the reddit communities I use to be a part of are super tiny on lemmy.

Dam I just bought mine SD last month. I wonder if I should return it and buy the OLED. But I saw the 512GB cert refurb are like $200 off now so a second steam deck as a back up would be nice.

Get KVM over IP. I have a dell T620 with an idrac system and PiKVM. Being able to turn your servers from your keyboard is so useful. Not sure what you consider expensive but it is definitely worth it. I do have a VGA KVM but a wall monitor installed that worked out of the box. I eventual got the KVM over IP.

Can I get more details on this captive portal? How does it diagnose network issues or what software are you using for the captive portal?
