Eugh, well done! We were all stupid little fuckers in the past at some point. God I was so full of my own self importance in my 20s it makes me cringe just thinking about it
I've always worked factory jobs and have grown used to people showing their true colours at voting time. This year I'm in a different workplace that seems a bit more left leaning, but a few at the table at break time said they couldn't vote for Labour because they would take us back into the EU (I corrected them and told them that's a Tory bullshit and Starmer has outright rejected the idea).
They said that's fine but they still can't vote Labour and they were thinking about voting Reform.
My first instinct was to go on a rant about that mealy-mouthed frog-faced cunt with a french name that wants to stop foreigners crossing our border. Ask the cunt how Brexit went, twat!
Instead I said "Hey great, go for it, if you ain't voting Tory I don't give a flying fuck who you're voting for, it's not a Tory vote and that's all that matters to me."
I would get all thrombo at the last workplace with it's Boris-lovers, I've grown.
My problem with this solution was that I have signed in to Tailscale via my Google account, and I have to buy Mullvad through Tailscale, linking my Google account to the Mullvad account.
What I wanted to do was have my own Mullvad account and route Tailscale through it, but that wasn't possible, I had to have Tailscale manage Mullvad, which just didn't sit right with me.
Yeah the new VM should just draw from your remaining RAM. My Debian VM is only using a few GB (6? 8?) but my Dell (I have a 7050 so it can't be so different from yours) still has 10gb to play with.
As for the running out of USBs I guess you could run a usb hub to one of the usb ports and just pass through the one, although I don't know if that would break something.
I don't think they do a powered usb c to sata but I could be wrong. I've used 3/4 of the ports on the back for HDDs, and the remaining one for my ZigBee stick for Home Assistant VM and have one spare (on the front) plus the usb C. I have passed that usb C through to a VM for a usb c to 3.5mm (to send music to speakers) in the past though.
You could try a usb to sata (powered) and a usb c to usb a to plug in to the usb C socket I guess, try that? I have a few usbc-a adapters knocking around the house so if you're the same you could try it for nothing
I've just had a discussion at work about how Biden was blaming his poor performance in a debate on a bad night's sleep, and quipped that maybe he would be better letting someone younger have a go as they're less likely to have to get up to pee so often at night so they'll be more on the ball.
I have also got a dell optiplex and Proxmox and a Debian machine with mostly Arr in containers.
I also have 3 old HDDs that I'm using for it, of various sizes (2x1tb and 3/4tb)
I have used a powered usb3 to sata connector to hook them up to the Dell. As in I have 3 usb to sata connectors, and each one also has a plug socket. I've got those 3 plus my Dell in a 4 gang extension lead so it's only using 1 plug socket in my kitchen. They were about £15 each on Amazon.
I have had a gotcha from using usb that destroyed my setup.
I now have a working solution that will stop this happening again:
So I have 3 usb-sata HDDs hooked in via the usb ports. I set up Open Media Vault as a VM. Then I passed through the USB drives to the OMV VM.
Those drives are then shared via SMB (I've just added NFS) to everything that needs it via the OMV VM.
I can then access the HDDs via this SMB share in Proxmox for backups if that's what you wanna do.
Now the reason I've done it this way is because originally I had the drives in Proxmox. I gave them names and then put those names in the Fstab of Proxmox. One of the drives "forgot" it's name and Proxmox wouldn't then boot because one of its drives wasn't accessible.
You could get around this by adding an option to the end of your fstab, I think the option is "nofail" but I'm not 100% so just check up on it.
I've used this option in my Debian VM Fstab to mount the NAS drives so my Arr stack can see them, and even got my Squeezebox server using them too. I'm using CIFS so I can see the drives on my Windows PC so I can manage the storage on my desktop.
So there you go, usb HDDs with passed through usb sockets to OMV VM is how I do it. If one of the drives fails OMV still runs and I just find I have no media in Plex and have to figure out why my drive isn't working anymore.
I also have one that says "Fuck me like the Government"
I have a badge on my jacket that says "Spooky for life, not just Halloween"
Hey Google play Devildriver on Spotify
