Do you happen to know of any guides on setting mTLS up?

I didn’t find much other than descriptions of the technology from my search, but I’m probably not using the right terms.

Mikrotik is a great budget friendly option too. It’s pretty simple to do a standard home setup in RouterOS

And most of the problems actually have solutions with FOSS vs proprietary.

I had to spend months moving our IBM3270 automations to a new product because the company we had a license with apparently went under (they wouldn’t respond to requests for a new license when we needed to do a server upgrade.

It took so long because their proprietary BASIC like language had basically no documentation, and the scripts had been written like 12 years before. At least I moved us to an open source solution, which didn’t have the best documentation, but I could just look through the source to get the answers I needed (and had to program in some missing functionality).

I’m still sad that I wasn’t allowed to contribute to the project due to our government contracts. At least I could contribute to the python wrapper I found for it to make it Python 3 compatible.

One of these days I’ll get around to figuring out why Proxmox won’t start up unless I hit enter on the splash page.

It could totally be a hardware issue. I’ve seen something similar happen because the temperature cycles caused the RAM to wiggle out of the slot a bit, but it wasn’t far enough to cause issues until the stick heated up and got pushed a little further out.

I don’t think it’s likely to be a hardware issue unless it’s a faulty drive, but I can’t rule out other components until I can see some errors.

I feel like it’s unlikely to be a hardware issue unless the drive Proxmox is on is dying. SMART is fine, but it’s on an SSD that’s nearly 15 years old, so it very well might be the cause. I need to migrate it to one of my nvme disks eventually.

But, I can boot into the Windows physical disk just fine (instead of booting into Proxmox and running it as a VM). Same with a live ISO on USB.

The fact that it’s perfectly stable after I do get it to boot is why I’m chasing down a software issue first. I also don’t want to think about the cost of having to replace hardware yet. But I’m definitely not ruling it out completely.

I’m going to take the advice of another commenter and turn off quiet in grub so I can get a better look at what’s actually going on under the hood.

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I made so many changes following different guides on GPU passthrough on an LXC with a virtual display (never worked) that I’m tempted to rebuild Proxmox from scratch.

I have my router powering my pi, so rebooting the router will reboot the DNS server.

That’s a great way to get hookworms.

I’m not sure where you’re eating, but wait staff ask that so they can correct any issues before it impacts their tip, not because they’re keeping tabs on you.

I once sat in the queue for MS support for 6 hours before I gave up, and it was for a business related issue.

Fun fact, they stop playing music after 3 hours.

That’s generally true for any end user software.

As an aside, be careful running your laptop with the lid closed. Some need to be open for proper cooling.

Self hosting doesn’t inherently mean your stuff is publicly accessible, though.

It’s not at all uncommon for fines to be built into an SLA

The organizations they were talking about and I was referring to have a global presence

Plus, it’s not significantly more expensive to have a cold standby in a different geographic location in AWS.

So does an outage, but I get that the C-suite can only think one quarter at a time

It’s also silly for the orgs to not have geographic redundancy.

Yeah, if you’re a major business and don’t have geographic redundancy for your service, you need to rework your BCDR plan.
