Deliverer of ideas for a living. Believer in internet autonomy, dignity. I upkeep instances of FOSS platforms like this for the masses. Previously on Twitter under the same handle. I do software things, but also I don’t.
I remember reading somewhere that drivers beyond 550* may have some issues with linux right now. I might consider rolling them back to a version that was already working.
*Citation needed, but it was a lower version than what is currently the latest available
I get it. There are ways to gave privacy and dignity without having to have your own room, though, like finding a free or salvaged desk and set of bins to hold all your things in one spot.
Sharing a small studio with multiple people – roommates or family – works best when everyone kind of agrees that ‘their’ space is ‘theirs,’ and certain spaces have, say, the furniture arranged in a way that boundary off / designate those areas.
It’s not always fun, but it works! Take it from somebody with experience. You can figure something out to make some areas feel more like ‘yours.’
If you have a smart TV, you’re already at a disadvantage.
One solution to consider might be a black hole DNS on your local network, like Pi-Hole, that can target this device and prevent all Google requests.
Another, unfortunately, might be to get a dumb TV and use an HTPC as your streaming solution for the content you already watch.
And another might be to look into custom TV OS options out in the wild.
Hey, just tossing in a comment here, I think this post is a good post!
The jar looks like it’s made a glass, which is common and probably worth only a few dollars.
Jars of coins, however, are much more rare, and could be worth a lot more. It’s kind of hard to make jars of coins. Maybe if you melt them together. Sounds like craftsman work.
If you have a picture of your jar of coins – maybe this was an upload of the wrong jar? your glass one? – please post it so we can assess the worth. Thanks.
What’s your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?
For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.
If you’ve got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam’s first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.
Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.

Hello! I recently deployed GPUStack, a self-hosted GPU resource manager.
It helps you deploy AI models across clusters of GPUs, regardless of network or device. Got a Mac? It can toss a model on there and route it into an interface. Got a VM on a sever somewhere? Same. How about your home PC, with that beefy gaming GPU? No prob. GPUStack is great at scaling what you have on hand, without having to deploy a bunch of independent instances of ollama, llama.ccp, etc.
I use it to route pre-run LLMs into Open WebUI, another self-hosted interface for AI interactions, via the OpenAI API that both GPUStack and Open WebUI support!
