Gaming VM and over-provisioning cores?

You definitely shouldn't overprovision cores (logical cores, 16 in your case), especially for gamming VM. Because you are not going to get more performance, you are only going to increase overhead of context switching. One way to "pin" VM to half of cores is to give your VM 8 vCPU and increase vCPU units value (default is 1000). vCPU units determines VM priority in case of more work than CPU can handle.

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/cpu-units.1047/

Basicaly if you have 2 VMs with default value of 1000 and CPU can't handle everything, proxmox will give both VMs equal cpu time (50/50).

But if for example you give first VM 3000 vCPU units, then under heavy load CPU time will be divided 75/25.

Time on CPU will be proportional to given vCPU units (under load).

So if you want to "pin" VM to 8 logical cores, then give VM 8 vCPUs and increase vCPU units (depending how big of priority you want).

QR code image gallery

Yeah, I was thinking it would be hard to store that amount of data in QR code even if image quality was reduced.

My cousin had an idea to make (print) an album but wanted to do it with QR codes because it would be cheaper to print (only black and white printing is required).

Ok yeah, sure.

But just being currency isn't enough for currency to be stable. So i dont see how that should affect its stability. The major reason why regular currency is stable is because it is already widely used.

Proxmox on Laptop, Network Setup

Reply in thread

I would do everything in VMs, mostly Linux and probably one Windows. Proxmox would be only for managing VMs. I want everything in VMs because it's more flexible for partitioning storage and i can have both Linux and Windows runing at the same time (which can't be done with dualboot). I am student of computer science so i use it for programming, both for college and side projects. Sometimes there are a lot of programs i have so OS kind of gets bloated, not so much from performance standpoint but just mental overhead of having 10, 20, 30 programs and having to keep in mind what program needs what dependencies, env variables, etc.. so i want to kind of group them to VMs and CTs.

Expense tracking app/program

Reply in thread

I have installed it recently and am trying it out. There are a lot of things there so for now i probably just scratched the surface of it's capabilities. So i can't say definitely if it satisfies my needs.

But i have gained feeling that all programs i looked at dont have capability for something like tags. GNU Cash has account hierarchy (which i like) but i didnt find tags or equivalent.

Example use case for tags would be if i want to specify for expenses if they were "wants" or "needs".

And that is messy to try to do in hierarchy, because if i put it in root than both children will basicaly be duplicated (whole sub tree), and if i put it in leaves than i will have sub account for "wants" and "needs" in every leaf account.

Sure, they are not perfectly stable, there is always inflation (sometimes more, sometimes less).

But its not as volatile as crypto. In last 24h difference between monero high an low is ~2% (which isnt terrible by itself but on a longer period its larger difference) and regular currency effectively has almost no volatility in 24h period.

Acording to google 1 year inflation was ~3.4% for dollar. (so probably diff hig low is just a bit higher) Difference between monero 1 year low an high was greater than 20%. So monero is something like 6 times more volatile. (and i am not talking about inflation, but volatility)

So its not exactly the same situation regarding stability.
