This community is not super active in general, but a good amount of posts are mastodon posts where people do something which is usually not related to Proxmox other than their VM being on it. These usually come from mastodon etc, don't spark discussions and usually get downvoted, which the authors don't notice since mastodon doesn't show that.

There's no specific rule for that (it seems like this community doesn't have rules at all), but I find it mostly annoying and wanted to vibe check what other subscribers of this community think about it. Maybe a rule could be implemented and those removed for being off topic?

I'm perfectly fine with mastodon users posting to this community, don't get me wrong. I just don't like using this community handle like a hashtag for everything that's barely seen proxmox relevance.

I run some services on machine A. I want to backup the data to machine B. It's around 40 gigabytes in thousands of small files. I would prefer to compress the data, but there's not enough space on machine A to keep the data twice (original + tar archive). I would like to avoid copying that many files via scp/rsync since it's taking forever and a bit fragile.

Any solutions on how to solve this? Is it possible to compress live on machine A and stream into the archive on machine B without the need to keep the big archive file on A?

Eventually, it's supposed to be automated and B has like the last 3 dailys, 1 weekly, 1 montly.

B can ssh into A.

Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

Deutliche Kritik am DGB Motto für den ersten Mai.

Found even more nice art from Sean: https://seanbodley.com/

Hat mir gut gefallen. Der Erzählstil und wie Jam Dinge wahrnimmt (vor allem über das Haus) fand ich sehr schön.

Dass tatsächlich eine Art magisches Wesen auftauchen hat mich etwas überrascht, hatte ich einfach nicht mit gerechnet, letztendlich fand ich Pet aber sehr gut.

Das schwierige Misshandlungsthema wurde denke ich gut verpackt ohne es zu explizit zu beschreiben. Jams "Weisheit" dazu im Finale fand ich zugegebenermaßen Recht beeindruckend, das war alles sehr gut formuliert wie ich fand!

Das perfekte Lucille hatte mich über das Buch hinweg immer wieder gestört, auch der Ansatz, einfach alle Täter*innen einfach wegzusperren, passte mir nicht so Recht zum Buch. Das wurde ja aber auch beides gut aufgefasst am Ende.

Posting this here as I feel like similar things are happening in open source projects we like to host.

I wonder if the above is possible. I support some people on steady and get some exclusive posts for that. I get them per Email and can read them on the steady website.

Steady has subscription-specific RSS feeds, but only for podcasts as it seems (which also are the only results in my web searches).

Is anyone doing what I'm looking for? Some proxy that reads the emails and offers an RSS feed? (I'd rather not expose my imap credentials to a tool just to read some posts at a different place). Something that scrapes steady?

What's going on on your servers?

I had to bite the bullet and buy new drives after the old ones filled up. I went for used enterprise SSDs on eBay and eventually found some that had an okay price, even though it's been much more than last time I got some. Combined with Hetzner's hefty price increase some month ago, my hobby has become a bit more expensive again thanks to the ever growing appetite of companies building more data centers to churn more energy.

Anyways, the drives are in, my Ansible playbook to properly encrypt them and make them available in Proxmox worked, so that was smooth (ignoring the part where I disassembled the Lenovo tiny from the rack, open it, SSD out, SSD in, close it and put it back in only to realize I put in the old ssd again).

Any changes in your hardware setups? Did the price increase make you reconsider some design decisions? Let us know!

I need a new compost bin. We put our food scraps in there, so it needs to be rat-proof.

Should be durable and accessible.

I guess metal ones are the most durable. I wonder if the grid or solid ones are better. Solid is warmer (faster composting) but is perfect breeding habitat for slugs.

Glad for any recommendations. I'm in Germany if that matters.

For a hobby of mine, there's an outdated lore wiki on Fandom. I dislike Fandom and would like to host an alternative. It's supposed to be accessible to all kinds of people.

I started with mediawiki as that's what Fandom and Wikipedia are using, so people would be familiar with page structures at least and maybe the editor.

It turned out to be a bit of a pain though. It only has unofficial container images, the documentation is outdated and (what I consider as) core functionality like WYSIWYG editor or simple infoboxes has to be added by extensions or templates. I'm in the process of setting it all up and wondering if it's worth it (and if I want to maintain it). There's so many wiki projects it's hard to keep track, what are y'all using for stuff that's used by larger communities and simple to use with close-to-default settings?
