I've deployed substantial quantities of gear in 9 datacenters across 4 countries in my career. I've gotten a panicked call from Bell Canada when they realized our deployment density in an older facility, then had to work with them to provide weights of all of our cabinets. Sure though, all armchair nonsense. What's your background?
30 seconds searching will back me up. https://www.digitalrealty.com/resources/articles/what-floor-loading-capacity-do-dlr-data-centers-have
Weight. If you load a 42u rack up with 30lb servers you're at 1280lbs spread out over about 4sqft, which is over the floor loading limit for most buildings. It's much cheaper to support the weight in a wider building compared to a taller one.
That being said I've been in many data centers in the middle of a giant office towers, but they have lower weight limits generally.
I don't think any run on gcp or aws, but most use cloudflare
This isn't reddit. It's not edgy to say that here.
I'm on my 8th cat in my life, and they've all been very affectionate. Most of them haven't started that way, but you just keep forcing love in small doses on them and eventually they admit they like it.
Strangers have come over and are blown away when my cat will just climb into their lap and demand cuddles.

You've made a virtual disk on the zfs. The vm will never see the zfs, that's managed entirely by the host.
Yes you'll want to make a normal partition inside that virtual disk.
With vms you can't just access the host zfs, it's always abstracted. If you use lxc containers on proxmox then you can bind the zfs into the container (google it for steps, it's not in the Gui)

Good morning everyone. Just a quick heads up that I've banned a good chunk of IP space in China due to abusive traffic.
I've tried to restrict this where possible to datacenter blocks from Huawei, Tencent, and Alibaba, but China Telecom / Mobile were also heavy sources of suspicious traffic. I doubt we have many (if any) users in China, but if you are affected please let me know.
This has been ongoing for a while and I ignored it initially since the traffic levels were low, but it wasn't anymore.
The ban has very visibly cut our traffic levels:

Hey all,
Today, I’m writing to share our intention to join Fedecan, a Canadian not-for-profit organization committed to supporting the Fediverse. We believe this partnership will foster collaboration among like-minded individuals who share a common goal: to create a safe, welcoming space where people can connect freely.
Together we will help deliver a fast, reliable, and consistent experience for all and continue to be free from corporate influence and guided by the values of openness, community, and trust.
Who is Fedecan
Fedecan is a registered non-profit organization based in Canada, with the goal to provide a safe and welcoming space for people to connect with each other on the Fediverse. More information can be found here.
You may also know them by their Canadian lemmy instance lemmy.ca.
What does this mean for sh.itjust.works?
From the outside everything will stay much the same, especially with the admin team. Internally, we will collaborate on tasks related to non-profit compliance, policies, banking and common infrastructure elements such as backup/disaster recovery infrastructure. We will continue to operate separate equipment and instances in geographically isolated locations under different names. We will work towards aligning on safety and security practices in order to ensure that data is secure.
From an organizational structure, sh.itjust.works will fall under the Fedecan umbrella and will share common bylaws, policies, methodologies on best practices, security and legal considerations.
Where do donations go?
Donations to sh.itjust.works will continue to support our mission and objectives exclusively. However, users will also have the option to donate directly to Fedecan, which will allocate funds amongst its projects including sh.itjust.works. Operational costs related to running the non-profit will be shared among projects and these expenses will be transparently disclosed in annual reports published on the Fedecan website.
Option to withdrawal
sh.itjust.works will have the right to withdraw from the Fedecan umbrella should our mutual goals no longer be aligned. In such a case, a predefined provision and action plan will be in place to ensure a smooth transition back to independence.
Why Now?
As the Fediverse continues to grow, we believe it's important to collaborate more closely with others who share our values. Joining Fedecan allows us to do just that, strengthening our operation through a non-profit while staying true to our mission.
Timeline / Next Steps
Over the coming weeks, we'll begin the process of integrating with Fedecan on the organization side. You won't notice many changes but we'll keep you informed throughout the process.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited about this next chapter and the opportunities it brings. By joining forces, we’re reinforcing our commitment to the Fediverse and to the principles that brought us all together in the first place—openness, community, transparency, and trust.
Our core mission remains unchanged. We're still independent in spirit and practice and we remain committed to being a space that's not driven by profit, but by people.
I invite your questions or concerns on this thread or on our https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org)
Stay connected,
--The sh.itjust.works and Fedecan Team
I have a dwarf pomegranate tree which will hopefully one day make little mini pomegranates. All the work of a pomegranate with less seeds as reward! I just started it from seed this year, so excited for the future.
Punica granatum if you want to google it.
