I don’t know where you get yours, but I get 24 loads in a box of powder for $6. https://www.kroger.com/p/kroger-dishwasher-detergent-powder-lemon-scent/0001111080564

That’s good, reuse > recycle. We had nothing to do with them so were just recycling these giant jugs all the time. Now we have a big container we pour the detergent into and just scoop it out as we go. Containers are cardboard for the powder

I’d say it’s better, but not great. Environmentally it still comes with a giant plastic jug that needs to be disposed of, and we all know how plastic recycling is. On your wallet, if you think bout it, you’re not just paying for the soap, but the water and the weight/shipping of that water to get to your home from the factories.

Powder is really the same thing, but you have water at home to mix it with, that happens in your washing machine. So, naturally it is going to be cheaper.

Thanks to Technology Connections - Dishwasher/Laundry pods. Soap with pretty colors, and probably more soap than you need per load. I’ve swapped to powder and literally cannot tell a difference at all, and instead of 8 dollars for 10 loads I now am getting an entire box with like, 40 loads for $8.

And if you want something convenient for laundry they have the laundry sheets that don’t release plastic into your water so that’s nice.

But personally if I want a known amount each time for each load I just use a scoop.

Yeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!

Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.

You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.

It depends on your setup of course, many ways to skin that cat. You didn’t really say where you wanted dashboarding. Do you want it through a terminal? Through a UI within proxmox? Personally I took it as an opportunity to learn Grafana and hosted it

Yeah that’s when I joined . The front page was 99% star trek memes. Now it’s down to like, 70%

Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

They said they were open to it but they had zero priority of doing it themselves, and essentially “submit a PR if you want it”. A shame really, their interface is great, and such an easy setup. If they implemented either xmpp or matrix I would switch immediately. All of my friends want a discord clone that “just” works, but no one wants to go to this server for this group and then login to that server for that group. They want a single-pane interface like what discord offers.

Shortsighted to not implement that IMO.

Yeah I would assume if anything they would have helped them bring federation

Oh neat, I’ll have to swap searx to use it!

Yeah yeah yeah but ignoring that… Would you?

Thanks for all of this, I’ve been reading into these options since you left your comment. You trust them then? No logging, secure? Good endpoints?

I won’t talk politics, but I will say after going out and seeing other countries I completely agree, it’s way different than what I was told. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t left NA has any right to compare us against anyone.

Through who if I may ask?

I’ve wondered how feasible it is to see if anyone sells von by the 5 year mark, just so I can continue to access even if they don’t serve my country anymore

You can get away with a pretty low bitrate for most. As others have said, set the egress upload limit in the app to whatever you prefer, and just be ready to transcode.

Never charge for access to your server in any way. That is officially 100% illegal. If you can’t do it without charging, you can’t do it

Replicating images isn’t really best practice. Images are meant to be ephemeral on the server. Dockers pattern is to repull the images if they are needed, and that only takes a few seconds. Saving the images IMO would just be a waste of space.

If you are afraid the images will be gone someday, the proper way to handle this is to use a docker registry as a proxy. So you make your own docker registry, like your.tld/registry and then set it in proxy mode. Then when you pull your images you set docker to pull from your registry. If it’s found it will use your local data otherwise it will pull through from the parent registry, and serve the docker image to your client. For backup then you backup the registry’s volume.

That fits within the pattern of docker. Your clients come up, query the local registry, and it will serve your containers. Your server remains ephemeral.
