Oh yeah, for sure. I’m all for more solar. I just hope the scientists continue their research and figure out a way to make the panels without quite so much lead. Or at least make sure the lead can’t leech back into the environment.

All I’m saying is it would make more sense to put them over agricultural land than in parking lots.

Solar panels are less efficient the hotter they get. Heat makes the electrons in the panel bounce around more at rest, which means they can’t be excited as much from the sun’s energy. Throwing them in a concrete desert with hot cars parked underneath would probably affect their performance significantly.

If that’s true, the problem would be storing and transporting it. Sending electricity via wires is massively inefficient and limited in range.

Except that agrivoltaics works out being better for the crops and the panels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics

The crops part is similar to why grass grows better under trampolines. https://youtu.be/CoDn-1rGcpk

ADHD huskie: I need stimulus now!

Autistic huskie: Go clean the dishes that have been sitting for a week so you can enjoy yoursef!

ADHD huskie: No.

Austic huskie: Okay then sit around all day doing nothing thinking about how much you don’t want to do the dishes.

ADHD huskie: fine

I haven’t used TrueNAS but from what I’m reading it has an option to import existing pools. If you have spare SSD I would yank your windows drive out of the system and try installing Proxmox on the spare drive first. There’s a truenas installation script on that community page I linked in my other post, it says to follow this discussion after it runs. That might be a good starting point.

I hope that barracuda was shucked from a Seagate Expansion lol (that’s where I got all of my barracudas).

good bot

Yes, you can. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Advanced_Migration_Techniques_to_Proxmox_VE#HyperV

Edit: Also yeah you should be able to dual-boot but I wouldn’t recommend it. Linux and Windows bootloaders don’t like to play nice with eachother.

2nd Edit: Added the official PVE Hyper-V migration documentation, but that blog covers it in more detail.

3rd Edit: It looks like there are some important caveats when virtualizing TrueNAS, which I assume you’re familiar with since you have it virtualized already but I wanted to add the TrueNAS virtualization guide just in case. https://www.truenas.com/blog/yes-you-can-virtualize-freenas/

You should be able to migrate most or all of your existing Hyper-V VMs to Proxmox, which would be relatively straight forward. My recommendation would be backing up everything to your TrueNAS (that has the dedicated HBA) then you can wipe your Windows boot drive and install Proxmox. Then you could start by migrating your TrueNAS VM over and passing it’s HBA back to it.

Once you have your NAS working in PVE then you could either migrate/rebuild your other VMs, or look into splitting your services into containers (Proxmox uses LXC natively, but Docker is another option.) There are some great helper scripts to get services spun up quickly so you can minimize downtime.

You didn’t mention how much, if any, experience you have with PVE/Debian and I know from a friend recently switching that some things are a bit more “difficult” than TrueNAS so hit me up if you need anything. The PVE admin documents will be helpful as well.

I think I tried it out once, but I wasn’t able to figure out how to to make this cake-autorotate thing work, was gonna use it on my starlink connection. Didn’t really get past that lol. I’m getting fiber on wednesday so it’s not really a concern anymore.

This reminds me, I actually installed OpenWRT on an ER-X. I need to go poke around on it and see how it works.

EdgeOS is a fork of Vyatta, which is itself based on Debian.

lmao send it to Bringus so he can install Steam on it

is this a Rush reference?

then it would be time to switch all my LXCs to alpine, i guess. if they’ll even still work. they’re all debian 12/13 right now.

Tille suggested that, if such obligations arise, they would likely affect redistributors or commercial entities building on Debian, rather than the Debian project itself.

if my edgerouter 4 adds age verification i’m going to burn everything to the ground

If you have the skills to setup a Jellyfin server you also have the skills to setup wireguard.

They appear to offer a guided installation for windows users.
