  • 1 single HDD? I’d recommend you RAID up some more… or at least take my recommendation on testing your backups

    RAID is not a backup solution, but an availability one. If your system doesn’t need high availability, a single HDD is acceptable if you can live with a few hours/days of downtime.

    I am saying that because the prices of any storage is insane nowadays and I want people to see that 1 HDD is good enough to get started, either for homelabbing or for learning a more professional environment.






  • it makes sense. My rationale behind putting the NAS on the MGMT and then passing disk space through mounted drives is that I can create any number of VLANs if I want, and give bits and pieces of the NAS drive through the services, without ever having to change my NAS configuration (other than creating the shares I need)

    I wanted to just add more storage space to proxmox and distribute it through the services, but considering the prices of NVMe drives, the rock5c with the sata hat was a lot more cost effective since I had 2x 2TB SSD not doing much in my computer.







  • What hypocrisy?

    The discussion conflates a lots of things. So to be clear :

    We are talking about someone moving to a new country, not a country invading another country and forcing them to learn the new language to assimilate them.

    We can be mad at China for annexing Tibet for example, forcing them to learn mandarin and forbidding them to talk to their native language.

    But if I decide to go live in China, then it is not far fetched to expect me to learn mandarin, regardless of its history. It is two different things.

    Context matters.

    I live in Canada. Should we make real efforts to restitute Natives? Absolutely. Does that mean that we can’t expect new immigrants to learn the current local language because of our past?

    We can’t change the past, but we can make better in the future and integrating new arrivants is necessary and beneficial for everyone.


  • If I decide to go live in Germany for example, is it reasonable for me to learn German? What about Haïti? Or Jamaica? Is it only acceptable in non colonialist countries?

    I understand that the track record about assimilating other culture is terrible. However, not speaking the local language where you live is extremely isolating. If you’ve ever had to live in a place where they don’t speak your native language, you know the feeling.

    For everything that is wrong about our immigration system, I believe that asking new immigrants to make an earnest effort to learn the local language is normal. We can’t change the past, but we can do better in the future. And making sure that a new immigrant integrates to his new country is helping both the immigrant and the country that welcomes him.
