I run proxmox and a trunas VM.

• TrueNAS is on a virt disk on a NVME drive with all the other VMs/LXCs
• I pass the HBA through to TrueNAS with PCI passthrough: 6 disk Raid z2. this is ‘vault’ and has all my backups of hone dirs and photos etc
• I pass through two HDs as raw disks for bulk storage (of linux ISOs): 2 disk Mirrored zfs

Seems to work well

I’m wondering if you have an incorrect gateway set or default route

also, what ports on both routers are connected? are they both using “WAN” for their uplink?

As said look at DHCP clashes or " Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either"

What do you mean by this? The ones I know of will drop the connection to 10mb or 100mb and will on work on both “halves” at the same time*

you could probably find cheaper with more to do more

I see you mentioned the free Oracle cloud servers, they are not simple to use like many cloud VPS. But if you wanted to go down that route then if you get a full account with a CC on file then you can normally get the ampere instance (still free)

I say go with proxmox on the n100 (I use it), there are alternatives kvm/QEMU managers that I heard good things about as well (namely Incus https://github.com/lxc/incus )

Ask JD Vance?

Very interesting, I made a local community !kiwiclassifieds@no.lastname.nz a year or so ago but have done nothing with it

For me and my (very - it may be down to just me logging in, but a couple of the communities have a few people that read/vote) small instance it comes down to feel (“Don’t be a dick”). Dave, the admin of lemmy.nz (about 80 users per week) has the same in their side board as their “Rule”. Dave and I set up our *nz instances in the same week and we chat often. He might not be quire as quick with the ban hammer as I might be though.

When you are this small even a small outside problem can have huge effects on your instance

with *nz content on my instance, very few

Admin of a small instance, I have banned 2 accounts for another instance that were downvoting almost all content in a threads without any other interaction. They were being disruptive to the flow at the time, much like @ericjmorey@discuss.online describes.

I ran Arch and moved on

From something like this?

If Earth were the size of a sand grain, this distance would be about the width of a hair in contrast to the corresponding 6-mile (10-km) distance to Alpha Centauri in the same scale.

We do also tend to change the o at the same time, at least I do. Although I spent 10 years in the uk in my 20’s so that has had some effect on how I speak.

One would think that this is very thin ice for a counter suit, in that how may advertising houses have looked at the source of adblockers to work around them?

Yeah, that was the reason I switched from pfsense to opnsense about 4 years ago

I have a simi-public instance, I made the decision to not federate with the NSFW instance as having [posable] non-consensual/underage manga/other content that is treated much harsher here than Piracy ( that is a pure civil thing here) and keep federation with !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

/me points to my lemmy domain, I also have <reallastname>.nz

You should see the confused looks when I say firstname@lastname.nz and they reply with blueether@<reallastname>.nz and I say no… as I said it…

I think post above may have that one covered off already

I run Caddy, it has a few services exposed on https, and I also use it with adguard.

Adguard does the DNS rewrite and Caddy does the port map for internal, eg:

Proxmox:

• https://10.0.0.10:8006 becomes
• https://pve.DOMAIN.TLD

I then can have all my VMs/LXCs/Docker with god knows what port numbers pointed to in caddy
