Thank you for providing real-world examples that show how well public ownership can work to the benefit of the people.
If you combine the right parts of communism (ownership) and capitalism (market mechanisms with sane guidelines) you can actually create a system that works for the good of the people and sustainably/efficiently so!

You've been deluded into thinking that public/government managed equals inefficient and expensive.
If anything public managed (or at least owned) housing would be cheaper, because of greed having been removed from the equation.
Allowing people and corps to stash basic services away is what's expensive for the population because the leeches will always require the maximum fee the market allows them to invoice.

Even if not everyone can or wants to own a house, there's no good reason for these houses being owned by corpos or individuals.
Housing is as much basic infrastructure/human needs as is health care, education, electricity, water supply, sewage system, internet access and should be in the hands of the public sector - alas, it most often isn't and that alone should tell you enough.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be corpos allowed to provide service based on the public infrastructure, but the infrastrucure itself would be public in a fair and sane world.
If you can't kick out leeches from abusing public infrastrucure, well, you end up in the world we live in.
Now you can call me communist or think about why the system we have is designed to help the rich getting richer.
This is no natural state we live in. It's an abomomination.

It's a dangerous game tho.
It can very well invalidate the life of the pardoned as well, if one of the aggrieved party has nothing left to lose because of that wage theft.
I wonder how long Donvict can continue before he gets stopped for good.

If they knew physics, they'd be aware that flying out of our solar system would be more energy efficient.

And not even those whose ancestors fell victim to Nazis are immune to becoming Nazis.
It's a horrible sort of history repeating itself.

Make an educated guess.
Capitol rioters already proved they don't care about the law.
Undocumented immigrants do care, because they don't want to attract attention.
I know whom to bet on.

Proxmox setup - help needed (lemmy.world)
 

Dear selfhosters!

I come to you in the hope of help for avoiding some rookie mistakes.
I plan to migrate my very diverse hard- and software environment to a single machine.

Current mode of operation

I operate several RaspberryPis, a hardware firewall running on OpenWRT and a NUC like mini PC.
The RaspberryPis more or less are there for a single function; one runs Nextcloudpi, two run PiHoles, another one runs iSpy.
The mini PC is for the tasks that are heavier on CPU, RAM or storage space.
Maintaing this has become somwehat cumbersome and a replacement is dearly needed. My plan is to move all to a Proxmox sever.
I do have a general idea how to set up things, but as I'm brand new to Proxmox, I fear that there's a lot of mistakes to be made. I haven't read all documentation, but enough to know that it's no easy task to set up and operate Proxmox properly.
I'm aware that not having server hardware (e.g. no ECC RAM) is not the best setup, but AFAIU at least having a data centre SSD and lots of RAM is a good start.

Hardware

In the future all services are meant to run on this machine:
Case/Mainboard: AsRock Deskmeet X300
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT
RAM: 64 GB
Storage:

  • 480 GB SSD (Intel DC S4500 Series)
  • 4 TB SSD (Team Group MP44)
  • 16 TB HDD (Seagate Exos, yeah, I know, but realized too late...)
    OS: Proxmox 8.3.1

Future mode of operation

Here's a high-level scheme of what I plan to do:

  • Install Proxmox on the Intel SSD
  • Use the 4 TB SSD as storage drive for the machines
  • Use the 16 TB HDD as storage drive for backups and additional storage (for files that mainly get read like media) for the machines
  • Migrate each physical device to a virtual machine (or create a new one to replicate the service)
  • Repurpose the mini PC as Proxmox backup server

Help!

The areas where I think reading documents can't beat experience are:

  • Do I use BTRFS or ZFS? I tend to use ZFS because of its advantages when making backups. What would you do?
  • Do I use QEMU/KVM virtual machines or LXC/LXD cointainers? Performance wise QEMU emulating the host architecture should be the way to go, right?
  • I shy away from running all services as Docker on the same machine for backup/restore purposes and rather have VMs per service. Is there anything wrong with this approach?
  • I'd love to keep NextcloudPi (because it'd make it easy to migrate settings and files) and there's an LXD container for it. Would you recommend doing a switch to Nextcloud AIO instead?
  • I've equipped the Deskmeet X300 with a WiFi card and antennas. AFAIU trying to use WLAN instead of LAN will create some trouble. Has anyone running Proxmox on a machine with WLAN insteal of LAN access successfully?
  • I'm aware that Proxmox comes with a firewall, but I don't feel very confortable using a software firewall running on the same machine that hosts the virtual machines. Is this just me being paranoid or would you recommend putting a hardware firewall between the internet access and the Proxmox server?
  • What else should I think of, but haven't talked about/asked yet?

Thank you very much for your time and your suggestions in advance!
