What is your home server running and what kind of VM is it?

Not all software needs to be around forever. Things can become obsolete without “failing”.

Mumble is great and I still use it. None of those are failed apps.

Not every app seeks to rake in teenagers’ parents’ money with shit like premium emojis.

Who is using fish for scripting, and why?

Super simple, like 30 minutes to setup mergerfs and then the bind mounts are a few lines added to the LXC config files at most. This isn’t necessarily needed, but I have users setup on the proxmox host with access to specific directories that are kind of a pain in the ass to remap the LXC users to, but were needed to give my *arr stack access to everything needed without giving access to the entire storage pool. Hard links won’t work across multiple bind mounts because the container will see them as separate file systems, so if your setup is /mnt/storage/TV, /mnt/storage/downloads, etc. then you’d have to pass just /mnt/storage as the bind mount.

On the other hand, I’ve been mounting my storage drives on the proxmox host with mergerfs and exposing what I need to the LXCs with bind mounts for years, and I haven’t had a single issue with it across multiple major version upgrades.

You can pass the storage you need to the LXCs with bind mounts. No network connection needed.

https://github.com/gtxaspec/wz_mini_hacks adds wireguard and other features to a few supported Wyze cameras. I haven’t tried wireguard because mine is on my home network but it works great for streaming rtsp locally.

I’m guessing it’s for those godforsaken left-handed mousers.

Bitwarden caches your vault to your device, so you don’t actually need a live connection to the server.

What you’re describing sounds pretty much exactly like how I use Proxmox at this point (everything in LXCs, most just running docker on Alpine) and I’ve been wanting to make the switch to Incus for a while. Did you migrate your LXCs over from Proxmox? I’m a little worried about how painful that process might be.

He’s always been a deceitful and manipulative narcissist, even before being an industry plant anti-consumer shill.

Here’s a good one, the time he manipulated someone a decade younger than him for money and sex via furry roleplay while hiding the fact he was married: https://piratesoftware.sucks/

Checks out, if you’re a Gnome user you’re already used to being told how you should be doing things by them.

I agree, but they’ve also made deliberate moves to muddy the waters of open source and push the limits of what is acceptable under GPL, and I’m not going to shed any tears over their loss of potential corporate profit.

Dude you’re fighting a very uphill battle trying to make us feel bad for an IBM subsidiary.

I think the risk of losing data naturally leads to people seeking out the most robust storage solution possible when 90% of those people would probably be better off with something simpler with less that can go wrong.

I can’t answer each bullet (and a couple are dependant on other things like drive speed, activity, and network throughput) but I’ve been using shucked external HDDs for over a decade and would recommend it. I used to use OpenMediaVault running in a VM on Proxmox and briefly tried TrueNAS, but I’ve since migrated all of my VMs to LXCs, so now I just have the drives mounted on the Proxmox host directly combined with mergerfs (not managed by Proxmox’s storage pools) and I pass it through to a Turnkey Linux file server LXC via bind mounts to share over SMB/NFS. Less overhead and LXCs can share CPU/memory dynamically while VMs can’t.

You should be able to replace that /mnt/external directory with no issues as long as the structure is the same within.

I don’t think you realize that if your goal is to have a simple install method anyone can use, even redirecting the output to install.sh like in your examples is enough added complexity to make it not work in some cases. Again, those are not made for people that know bash.

If you can’t review a bash script before running it without having an unnecessarily complex one-liner provided to you to do so, then it doesn’t matter because you aren’t going to be able to adequately review a bash script anyway.
