Thanks for the input. Yeah, my research has been more linux specific. My feeling was that Intel would perform well under linux, but browsing around most of what I've been finding are posts from a year ago, and nothing more current. I'm assuming that the cards (and more specifically driver support) would only get better in time (assuming it's not the next optane... haha).

Yeah, I love the Hyve Zeus servers. I currently have three making up my proxmox cluster. They are great so long as you have another system for storage, as they only fit 2x 2.5" drives otherwise. I have my cluster linked to an SSD pool on trunas via 10gb for all my vm's.

As for the GPU - Yeah, it's too long because of the cooler. It's possible I could get an alternative cooler, and it's something I could look at. Although the server I bought for it has already been sent back since the gpu didn't fit.

The NUC isn't a bad idea, but I got a good deal on the P2000 and was hoping to utilize that. I recently started hosting plex for my in-laws, and want to get our daughter setup with an account with her going off to college. My current plex setup works fine, but as I'm adding people accessing it remotely, I just figured it would be nice to put the P2000 into play.

Omg... I'm a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

OK... I guess I'm an idiot... Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

Keep reading about Nix. I need to setup a vm and play with it I think. From what I've seen, the concept looks pretty cool.

I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.

Makes me sad where things are going.

I'm currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP's. I'm slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I'm upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti's single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don't have that... And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I'm back tracking for more learning.

Probably not a bad idea. I'm in the process of upgrading to 10gbe.i have all the nics, and a switch... Just waiting on cables. Once I have the cables, I'll be getting my cluster together. Right now I just run my three nodes as separate instances.

Tumbleweed with KDE is my favorite flavor. I have all sorts of machines and vm's running which use Debian, Ubuntu, Leap, Rocky, and Alma.

Tumbleweed is my daily driver. Ubuntu and Debian have been my primary vm distro, but Alma and Rocky I've been dabbling with. I use Leap on various apple machines I have as it seems to play nicer with the stupid Broadcom wireless adapters apple uses.

Random question... I dumped reddit and jumped on to Lemmy. But I keep seeing things about mastadon and kbin also. What the difference between all of them? Are they all federated and sharing the same servers?

Thank you to the dev's as always!! I've updated one node so far, and it went flawlessly! Two to go! Keep up the great work, devs!

Thank you, friend! 👍
