Proxmox HA, Docker Swarm, Kubrenetes, or what?

I’ve gotten to the point where I have more than a few servers in my homelab and am looking for a way to increase reliability in case of an update. Two problems: 2 of the servers will be on Wifi and one is a Synology NAS. I can’t do any wiring but I can put together a WiFi 6E network for the servers only, That means buying 4...

c10l,

For what it’s worth you can get uBO on Orion browser right now.

Last time I tried to use that browser it was too buggy for me though.

c10l,

On macOS I’ve been using Ollama. It’s very easy to setup, can run as a service and expose an API.

You can talk to it directly from the CLI (ollama run ) or via applications and plugins (like continue.dev ) that consume the API.

It can run on Linux but I haven’t personally tried it.

We even have those in Brazil. Not everywhere, I reckon most are older than those but I’ve seen them in some malls and airports at least.

c10l,

K8s and Proxmox operate at different levels. You can run k8s on Proxmox, and that’s what I’ve been (very slowly) building up to at home.

With Proxmox you can failover VMs between nodes as long as storage (including VM boot disk) is external to the nodes. This can be NFS on a NAS, iSCSI, Ceph or many other options.

It’s even possible to failover a USB device (e.g. a Zigbee controller or similar) by attaching one on each node and mapping them using Resource Mappings (search on the announcement post: proxmox.com/…/proxmox-virtual-environment-8-0).

This can also be used if you’re deploying k8s on top of Proxmox just as well.

It’s no surprise Apple uses CUPS. They wrote it, after all.

Edit: TIL Apple didn’t write CUPS themselves but they bought the company that did it pretty early in the game. Here’s a LWN article from the time, exposing some of the worries that came with the news of the acquisition: lwn.net/Articles/242020/

c10l,

It’s pretty easy with Ollama. Install it, then ollama run mistral-7b (or another model, there’s a few available ootb). ollama.ai

Another option is Llamafile. github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile

c10l,

I second Debian. Stable is excellent.

Testing has newer packages and is generally almost as stable.

I published my Debian gaming setup a few days ago. Haven’t tried VR on it either as I don’t have a headset, but I assume it works.

c10l,

Same. Git GUIs can be great for examining commit trees, visualising patches, etc. For any write operations (this includes things like fecth and pull which write to .git), it’s all in the shell.

c10l,

You’re arguing against a straw man. They never said it ceases to exist, only that it’s irrelevant.

c10l,

Latinum is only valuable outside of the Federation, where societies are not post-scarcity.

Now, before you argue that there are no material conditions demanding scarcity in (some of) them, I’ll add that artificial scarcity is scarcity nonetheless.

c10l,

That reminds me of that joke:

Two economists are walking side-by-side.

One tells the other: I’ll give you $100 if you take a shit on the pavement.

He proceeds to shit on the pavement and grab the $100.

He then tells the other economist: I’ll give you $100 if you eat my shit.

The other does the deed and collects his $100.

After walking a few more blocks, one of them says: both of us left our dignity with that work back there and neither of us are any richer!

To which the other responds: no, but we grew our combined GDP to $200.

And they both walked away happy, patting each other on their backs.

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

c10l,

Wine is not a Windows emulator. The name literally means “Wine Is Not an Emulator”.

It’s also not based on Windows 2000. In fact, it started out translating syscalls from Windows 3.1.

The syscalls themselves are pretty stable between Windows versions, which is why you can run a Windows XP application on Windows 11 without recompiling it, as long as it’s for the same architecture.

c10l,

I guess the energy never did work out in the end.

c10l,

Cycling, yes. Running, not so much because my calves tend to seize up and it gets a little painful but I can see how it could be enjoyable.

Climbing is absolutely amazing!

Lifting weights… I tried. I find it exceedingly boring, and it never felt like I actually worked out, even when I was pushing hard.
