I tried a couple episodes of Lower Decks but I wasn't taken. Maybe I should just skip to S2.

Came here to ask if it was worth watching as someone who considers Next Gen and DS9 (and Voyager to a lesser extent) to be peak Trek. I think you've answered my question!

I used to work at a games studio that would get these delivered fairly regularly, usually paired with a particular motherboard and presumably a custom BIOS.

I think we were technically supposed to return them but the manufacturers never enforced it, so once the chip was actually released to the public - and assuming the sample was stable enough for general use - the PC would rotate into normal stock and eventually get sold for cheap to staff or end up in the spare parts bin.

While it was cool at first to get pre-production chips before anyone else, it became pretty mundane and I'm not at all surprised to see them out in the wild decades later. Interesting piece of history though!

My workplace ran off DL360s (the 1U variant of this) of various generations for 20 or 30 years. I remember getting the first G5 in and being really impressed by the way the components all slotted in so easily and pretty much everything was hot-swappable. And the no-nut rail system was a revalation.

They were great systems for their time but that power consumption is crazy by today's standards!

As for feedback, you have a very confusing sentence about 2.5" and 3.5" drives being the same size. Took me far too long to realise you meant capacity and not physical dimensions!

I waited years before I watched it, long after the hype had died down. I went in with no expectations and I quite enjoyed it.

It's just a day-in-the-life film where nothing really happens and there's no big revelation or pay-off at the end, but the journey had some memorable moments and was fun nonetheless.

This is RoboCop 2 right? Or did he play a psychotic kid in something else that I missed?

Just a PSA for anybody reading the thread, though it doesn't really help with the question at hand... On the very slim chance that your workplace uses Bitwarden Enterprise it's worth knowing that every licensed user gets a free family plan that can be tied to an existing personal account, provided it's hosted in the same region.

We do use it but very few of our own users are even aware of the perk so I like to spread it around when I get the chance!

Ha, I've only ever watched one episode of Always Sunny and it just happened to be this one. How convenient for me!

Right? The ~~next~~ first time we see this it better have those eyes!

If you own a domain, which you do, you can get wildcard certs from Let's Encrypt using a DNS challenge. Most (all?) popular reverse proxies can do this either natively or via an addon/module, you just need to use a supported DNS provider.

 

Quick overview of my setup: Synology NAS running a whole bunch of Docker containers and a couple of full blown VMs, and an N100 based mini PC running Ubuntu Server for those containers that benefit from hardware acceleration.

On the NAS I have a Linux Mint VM that I use for various desktoppy things, but performance via RDP or NoMachine and so on is just bad. I think it's ultimately due to the lack of acceleration, so I'd like to try running it from the mini PC instead but I'm struggling to find hypervisor options.

VirtualBox can be done headless, apparently, but the package installed via Apt wants to install X/Wayland and the entire desktop experience. LXC looks like it might be a viable option with its web frontend but it appears to be conflicting with Docker atm and won't run the setup.

Another option is to redo the machine with UnRaid or TrueNAS Scale but as they're designed to be full fledged NAS OSes I don't love that idea.

So what would you do? Does anyone have a similar setup with advice?

Thanks all!

Edit: Thanks for everyone's comments. I still can't get LXC to work, which is a shame because it has a nice web frontend, so I'll give KVM a go as my next option. Failing that I might well backup my Docker volumes, blat the whole thing and see what Proxmox can do.

Edit 2: Webtop looks to be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again for everyone's help and suggestions.
