Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Will try to see how it fits my setup when I get a chance, but I have been wanting to move away from Watchtower as it is no longer maintained.
Good to know there is an alternative, and from what you describe I like your approach. Having to opt-out of updates in Watchtower never really sat right with me- Watchtower clutter is okay in compose files that actually want something to do with Watchtower...
That, or the watchmakers of old didn't have to worry about wiring actuators, speakers, and heart rate monitors on the back plate. Or is that against nature and shouldn't be done in the first place anyway?
For what it's worth, my F91W has Philips screws on the back plate exactly like this and I never had a problem, and I've taken it apart more than a few times (it's a Sensor Watch!)
Unsurprisingly but not exactly obvious when I first read about it, alcohol addiction is strongly correlated with alcohol tolerance. I have come to understand intolerances like yours as protection mechanisms of the body (not a scientific claim!)
Similar story here- 34 at the time and a regular social drinker, I decided not to drink one day on a whim (actually just intended to see how hard it would be to abstain for a while) but felt so great without hangovers and just generally so much more energy that I stuck with it. 5 years now and really happy with that development. I have book club 9am on Sundays now, that would have absolutely been out of the question in the before-time.
It really feels like an insane hack in the beginning, how much more time and energy there is.
The guy is many things but unimaginative is not one of them. One of the people who really understood where technology was headed, in the worst way possible.
Airtable or nocodb might be suitable for this. Or Nextcloud Forms. But hard to advise since it's not clear if your focus is on data entry or visualization.
I'm low key on the lookout for something like this as well, to gain independence from mail providers, and I've had a browser tab for Mail Archiver open for a few months now but never got around to trying it out. Maybe this would solve your problem?
This looks friendly. I gave up setting up Authelia after my last attempt, but I might give it another go with this when motivation hits me. Some documentation for Traefik integration would be nice.
Ah, I see. I thought this was about an issue with FreeCAD, but it is actually a process problem. (Why wouldn't FreeCAD allow me to stuff arbitrarily complex meshes into a model, and of course that can lead to slow computation times.)
That said, analysis tools built into the software would probably be a useful thing to investigate what makes a file "slow."
Thanks for writing it up, although the blog post raises more questions for me than it answers. Is that a common thing? I've never noticed overly large files, but maybe I wasn't paying attention? What is the cause of it, complex geometries? What can be done in such a case to optimise?
I'm doing everything you list and quite a bit more on a QNAP with a Celeron J4125. A fraction of the cpu performance you'll have, yet very capable of all the tasks I ask of it. 16gb of memory is a good starting point I think.
"Just" some highly specific VM settings, in the end. I don't know much about that, and terms like qemu don't mean anything to me so I followed blog posts until it worked. (This one and maybe this one, I think.) It's possible that it is actually trivial.
It's been a while, but I can look up what I have when you need it. Feel free to ping me!
Yes, it was exactly that: Once I got the NICs set up the way I wanted them it was a breeze and everything just works. And I really like that I made every part work myself, no magic. I learned a lot, and wouldn't have had I relied on Proxmox fiddling with the right parts for me.
