🇦🇺 Cybersecurity bloke with a bit of personality.
Proxmox Setup:
- Specs:
- 128GB RAM DDR5 6000mhz (non-ECC, planning to upgrade soon)
- AMD 7950X3D
- RTX 4090 & RTX 4060ti
- Current VMs:
- Windows 11 LTSC (RTX 4090 passthrough): For Assetto Corsa in VR.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Barebones VM for my partner to RDP into from an old MBP, saving her the cost of a new laptop.
- Debian (RTX 4060ti passthrough): My daily driver.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Work VM (imo work is not the place to be tinkering, the office is on Windows so I’d better just join in).
- Windows 11 LTSC: For League of Legends, though I’m struggling with Vanguard… perhaps a blessing in disguise.
- Arch (RTX 4060ti passthrough): For those rare moments when I crave the bleeding edge (less frequent as I get older).
RPi
- YunoHost:
- GlitchSoc (modded Mastodon)
- GitLab: For my Git repositories.
- LinkStack: Repository of all my public-facing projects.
- BookStack: For publishing study guides and my PhD work.
- Docker:
- Jellyfin Stack: Including all the ‘arr’ services (too many to list/remember).
Network Infrastructure:
- Network: Isolated VLANs, some tunneling through public VPNs (think ExpressVPN) and others through a private VPS. Not going to go into too much detail here (security through obscurity and all that)
All this is running on a 25/10 Internet connection on DynamicIP, reverse proxies, DDNS and a QoS router was a lifesaver.
@pipes Yeah it’s biggest pro is also its con and where the reputation of Debian’s stability comes from.
I was using Plasma 6 Wayland 3 months ago in Arch and half my desktop apps were busted. Discord was so bad that I had to use X11.
I was newer to Linux desktop then so I spent so long thinking the problem was with me and trying to figure it out. Wayland Nvdia stability has seemed to settle down a lot though.
I’ll miss Wayland 6 as it’s really nice on high refresh displays but I think it’s a reasonable trade off for stability, and it’ll eventually be back.
Yeah I originally trying to daily Linux for like the past 10 years but kept falling back to Windows, mainly due to the app compatibility.
A lot of people suggested dual booting but I found that it messed up disrupted my workflow, and Level 2 hypervisors were too slow to be practical
What finally made Linux stick for me was Proxmox… it let daily Linux and still have the option to quickly spin up a Windows VM with a GPU if I needed something urgently, without the hassle of rebooting.
So now, six months later, I’m dailying Arch and also self-hosting a bunch of stuff on Debian, and I haven’t looked back.
I think it’s about convenience.

@catculation This has happened before and is a really big issue, but wouldn’t some sort of network segmentation have helped prevent this especially as it’s happened before?
I gave away my wife’s Wyze camera and moved to Ubiquiti. It cost me a small fortune.
Not self-hosting at the moment but still, nothing can be as bad as Wyze, right?
@Squizzy @yamanii This extension does exactly that (at least on desktop) and stops doom scrolling without removing them entirely: https://github.com/doma-itachi/Youtube-shorts-block
@Usernameblankface Some sort of attack that manages to take down Cloudflare, AWS, Azure, and Google Services at the same time. Would break a lot more than just the internet though.

Yes, I have noticed a trend of homelab hobbyists going back to something like this:
I don’t endorse piracy for ethical reasons, but I get why this is trending up:
-Increasingly aggressive pricing models
-Service quality and content accessibility going down
Really makes it hard for consumers…
Dual booting never really worked for my use case, I went with a level 1 hypervisor with GPU passthrough which requires a bit more tinkering but gives you most of the dual booting advantages along with being able to run both at the same time. Ideal for desktops, not as good on laptops
