@bjoern @homelab Lenovo ThinkCentre Mini? I quite like them and they can usually be found quite cheaply on eBay (eg, £50-60 for a 700 with an i5 6500T/8GiB/256GB SSD).

@F3715H @maddy yeah, that shit's harsh.

#ServeTheHome broke the news...

Patrick from #ServeTheHome with a new TinyMiniMicro video on Lenovo's new generation 2 ThinkStation P3 Tiny ... there's a lot crammed into a tiny 1-liter package!

Patrick from ServeTheHome with an update on some developments at the low end of the 10-gigabit Ethernet ecosystem:

* a new low(er) power Realtek chip which consumes 2-3 watts and only requires PCIe gen4 x1

* a couple small fanless #10GbE switches for $300 or less

@c8h4 @dragonarchitect @demicus thus removing wifi support is a decision by the #Proxmox #developers to reduce headaches and potential issues straight-ahead.

  • They then can just say: "#WiFi is unsupported!" and tell people to use #Ethernet

OFC #Proxmox never intended folks to #homelab with consumer hardware like #ServeTheHome's #TinyMiniMicro series and @geerlingguy does…

  • Its just that they don't actively prevent such setups, but similar to #TrueNAS, #pfSense & #OPNsense see people using their stuff on #DIY hardware as free testers for their Software!

TIL Proxmox refuses to support wifi and this is not documented anywhere. That's extremely frustrating because I'm not the only person who has needed wifi support (my previous home I ONLY had wifi net access and could not do anything over a wire) and the threads I've found have all been met with frustrating silence from the Proxmox team about it. That's beyond fucked up. >:(

@dragonarchitect nodds in agreement kinda like how @geerlingguy and #ServeTheHome do it…

#TinyMiniMicro

@wyatt granted, it's the problem of the "low informarion density" and 'need to not loose "lesser-#TechLiterate|s" in the conversation'

#LTT nowadays is exclusively clickbaity "Entertainment" as the most competent person AFAICT ( @emilyyoung ) left them.

  • Espechally since LTT nowadays does more and more extreme "#HardwarePorn" that is completely decoupled from the needs, demands and capabilities of their target demographics.

Or did they actually make some #LowBudget content that is reproduceable (unlike #ScrapyardWars) ???

#ServeTheHome takes a look at the first 1-liter PC to (unofficially) support 128GB of RAM, the Lenovo M75q Tiny Gen5.

reviewed unit has an AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 8700GE processor, 35 watt TDP.

overall a very promising Proxmox box, only stumbling blocks are that it still ships with 1Gbps ethernet, and SATA is no longer supported.
