Happy user of Ventoy here

But how do you find those people solely based on a short interview, where they can use AI tools to perform better if the interview is not held in person?

And mind you the SO was better because you needed to read a lot of answers there and try to understand what would work in your particular case. Learn how to ask smartly. Do your homework and explain the question properly so as not to get gaslit, etc. this is all now gone.

The problem is not only the coding but the thinking. The AI revolution will give birth to a lot more people without critical thinking and problem solving capabilities.

Here my upvote for going the extra mile (kilometrer) to provide both distance and pace in both metric and imperial.

And here I am happy when I run 10 km in under an hour. Damn this guy is amazing

They literally did. One of the victims allegedly posted on Instagram some pics from the aftermath of the shooting and wrote “Death to Arabs” in Hebrew. Imagine the uproar and condemnation if someone posts the same slogan for them?

You know two wrongs don’t make a plus

So go fuck out of all of security bases in Europe. Let’s see how much longer you will survive and thrive without allies and generally hated by everyone.

You think the rest of the world should simply succumb to your scummy practices?

To be honest I don’t really know, but I know that what you want can easily be solved with SOCKS5 proxy. I think Wireguard and other VPNs are added to encrypt the traffic. There are also other alternatives to SOCKS5 proxy adding encryption.

In Wireguard you have those Allowed IPs, you can allow only those IPs to be reachable from outside and you can configure them per client if I am not wrong. I think the easiest way would be for you to run those services over Docker, that way each server will have an IP from your docker network and you can isolate the traffic. https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2021/03/wireguard-allowedips-calculator/

My personal suggestion is to spin up a VM, install Debian, Ubuntu, or whatever your poison is, run docker compose or podman compose, spring up a Docker or two and Wireguard and try to achieve what you want. Heck you can even run Wireguard from a container. Once confident with your setup you can migrate it to Nix.

There is no need to have them on separate VMs, as containers are already isolated and additional VMs will add more overhead.

It is worth exploring the LXC containers too, even though I prefer Docker with compose for its declarativeness.

Yes, I also heard that he passed, and I really feel bad for the guy, he did an amazing job. Thanks for the link, I didn’t know there was a new place.

Check this project https://github.com/whyvl/wireproxy

I would suggest giving Proxmox a go and virtualise your VMs, as you can easily make snapshots and recover if something goes south.

You can also check https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ containing easy deployable scripts to make your life easier.

I would also try to run everything out of Docker compose and create a repo containing all configuration files.

At this point I wonder who is worse Trump or Putin.

The same administration that was claiming that Europe is stifling the free speech. What hypocritics

I am personally surprised that the US did that without even consulting Ukraine. That’s fucking sick.

The next four years would be difficult. I am so sick of people behaving like bullies.

Yes, that’s the scariest part, because all this behaviour is getting normalised. And this guy sure has chances to win an election and he seems to be much smarter compared to Trump.

The future looks grim.

Yes, would be nice to post a follow up post with your setup once you build it.

I went that route two three months ago and eventually bought a second hand Lenovo Thinkcentre PC. Installed two NVMe SSDs for VMs , 1 SATA SSD for booting Proxmox and a single 12Tb HDD for media storage and one of the VMs is TrueNAS.

I played in the BIOS to enable everything possible to lower the power consumption and disabled some interfaces I am not going to use. So overall I paid a bit over 400 Euro for everything with 2x32GB RAM and the CPU is 8th gen, meaning I can use it for hardware encoding and decoding of h265.

The problem with my setup is that it is not much more extensible than that, as it had only one m2 slot, so I bought a PCIe to m2 extension card to fit the second m2 SSD.

The data I will store on the HDD is mostly media, that’s not critical, and I have a cloud backup for my more important documents automated with an rsync job. But I was also playing with the idea to build a proper NAS for a while.

There are plenty of Chinese manufacturers that are manufacturing NAS-centric motherboards that come with built-in processors, like Topton, etc, just search AliExpress for them. You might also consider buying a motherboard with ECC support.

Regarding the case Jonsbo has really nice cases, but they are a bit on the more expensive side. But there are plenty of no name brands also on AliExpress offering sturdy NAS cases, one example https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqCnPiL. The Pico PSU is great, and very power efficient, but ultimately what PSU you pick would depend on your case choice. Personally, I wouldn’t go with the case from your link and the outside drive bay.

I was looking for a micro LED monitor a couple of months ago, but the technology is still not mature enough and everything on the market simply wasn’t good enough. OLED is great for TVs not so much for productivity monitors, micro LED should be perfect for monitors, but still a couple of years away from the mainstream.
