Replace Dell SATA II 2 TB HDD - Lemmy.World
Hi! After a long time, my Dell SATA II 2 TB HDD has started showing yellow on
CrystalDisk. The recommendation seems to be to get data out of it sooner than
later and replace it. My main usecase for it is as the main space where I
install Windows programs and store Plex media. My C drive is SSD but much
smaller. This HDD is D drive. Seagate’s selling an 8 TB SSD for CAD$189 and a 2
TB one for CAD $101. Question for you good folks - 1. Anything I can do before I
consider throwing money at this problem? Bad/Unrecoverable sectors seem to be at
100. But is there still a way I can get more life out of this drive? Or is it
living it’s last breaths? 2. What HDD should I go for? I’m optimizing for price
and the use cases I mentioned above. 3. If I do go the replacement route, what’s
the best way for me to move drives? Should I clone the old to the new or copy
files one by one? I do want to maintain the Program Files status of D drive. So
I would be making the new drive as my D drive. Any FOSS tools for this
transition? Thanks!
Portainer on Debian or Proxmox? - Lemmy.World
Folks, I have an Intel N5095 2 GHz box, with 16 GB RAM and 500 GB sitting below
my desk. It’s a teeny tiny box with no fan or anything. I’m currently running
Debian server on it with Portainer on top to run some *arr services. I’m
thinking of running some more. But the device seems to groan under the weight of
the services already running. Was just watching a video about proxmox, and it
seems to be a better solution if I don’t need to run Portainer on top of an OS.
Maybe it’ll be lower resource usage? So, thoughts? Should I change it up from
Debian to proxmox? Or should I stick to what is already running? I am running
Debian because I read somewhere that it’s the lowest resource hog of all Linux
server options. Alternatively, should I stick to Debian and portainer but use it
with something like podman as it might use less resources than docker-ce?

[Question] alternatives to systemd

[Question] alternatives to systemd - Lemmy.World
So, I’ve never bothered with this before, since systemD seems to work just fine.
But I did this year stop using Ubuntu for most of my hosting needs and moved to
Alpine or Debian, depending on what I’m doing. So it makes sense to optimize
even more. I read up a little about why people dislike systemD. Good reasons if
mainly you’re worried that it’s doing too much and is too heavy. So what are the
alternatives that work with both Alpine and Debian? What are people using? Is it
relatively easy to move from systemD to whatever is your alternative? Thanks!

tailscale friendly app dashboard

tailscale friendly app dashboard - Lemmy.World
Folks, When I’m at home, I’ve got Heimdall setup to let me into my applications
easily. When I’m away, I use tailscale to get into my home network. But I end up
having to put in the URLs of the applications manually. What options do I have?
Do I setup another Heimdall instance with all the URLs as tailscale friendly? Is
there another dashboard solution out there that maybe takes the base URL of the
dashboard and uses that to build the URLs of the applications? So if I go to
home.local then all the apps point to home.local:port and if I get to the
dashboard using home.ts.net [http://home.ts.net], then all the apps become
home.ts.net [http://home.ts.net]:ports Any suggestions or recommendations of
dashboards that do this?

What to replace an Nvidia GTX 1080 with

What to replace an Nvidia GTX 1080 with - Lemmy.World
Hey team, Years ago, SO gifted me an Alienware Aurora R7. It has an Intel
I7-8700 and Nvidia GTX 1080 (8GB VRAM), 16 GB of DDR 4 RAM. (what else is
relevant to this question?) My question to you is basically this - Given that
I’m not gaming with it anymore, I want to use it for only two things - 1. Plex
Server 2. Running random local LLM stuff like Kotaemon
(https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon [https://github.com/Cinnamon/kotaemon])
Let’s say I have $1000 to throw at a GPU and I’d like to get 16 GB VRAM (or 24
if it’s possible). I want to install it myself rather than take it into a shop.
What’s a GPU I can buy that will fit, 1. within my budget? 2. within the
chassis? 3. with the CPU and motherboard without issues? 4. with the needs I’ve
detailed (namely Plex transcoding, and running ML models)? I am an absolute noob
when it comes to figuring out what hardware to buy (hey, we got us an Alienware
sucker here). So lemmings, help me out! I’d rather not ask ChatGPT.
Adblock and VPN all in one? - Lemmy.World
I love PiHole. I’ve used it in the past and it was powerful! I also use an
OpenVPN/Wireguard based VPN. So is there a service that combines the two
features? Lets me import adblock lists and also VPN configurations? Preferably
something that runs in a docker container that I can throw upon portainer and
running within minutes! Thanks!
