In a life before a TBI and subsequent seizure condition robbed me of a functioning brain, I actually ran the IT dept for a company which I worked for as a mech eng, estimator, designer, and project manager. This one gentleman who was a field super and his wife had been trying for years to have a child. They finally did after many miscarriages and rough times, and as you can imagine, they took so many pictures of their baby. He called me one day in a panic about his computer and so I rushed over to his house. Long story short, his HDD had suffered a major crash for whatever reason, and everything was gone. No backups of his baby pictures, nothing. I sent the HDD off to see what could be recovered, but apparently it everything was toast.

Even tho it wasn’t my pictures, it hurt me to my core, that all these pictures and memories this man and his wife had accumulated, were gone forever. It really did a number on me and I think about it from time to time even tho that has been decades ago.

Make backups folks. It might take you the better part of a Saturday afternoon to get everything backed up and secure, but do it anyways.

I too use Freshrss. I use a lot of the feeds from https://www.trackawesomelist.com/ which tracks all the Github Awesome lists.

Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?

entirety of my network to a third party tool that I don’t know that well.

Understandable.

But I’m not very comfortable giving 100% access to Tailscale to my internal network

Out of curiosity, why are you uncomfortable with Tailscale?

I think for now, I will just be a part of what is already here. Maybe later I may entertain the idea.

Well thanks. I feel fortunate to be alive. My first computer was an Altair. Then the Timex/Sinclair, the TI, then just about one of each until some semblance of base line was established and not 20 companies producing propriety devices. It’s been a wild ride. I’m also a mediocre musician of about 65 years and the technology still blows me away every time I sit down to my DAW and controllers.

Sorry to have taken your ‘OldHead’ status from you. lol

OP, I’m running Proxmox on and old Dell T320 /32gb RAM. I am not having any real issues doing so. I run Docker and a handful of Docker containers. I’m really not into the arr stack, but I wouldn’t think you’d have much issue.

I do always suggest installing Debian first, and then installing Proxmox on top.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Proxmox it’s own OS unto itself? What would be the advantage of installing Proxmox ‘on top of’ Debian when it’s Debian already as you pointed out?
