  • Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

    Can’t entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that’s where it would be


  • Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn’t require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

    8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you’re doing.

    My Proxmox server is called ARCADE and each VM is named after a game. Currently we have:

    • SpyHunter (PiHole and WireGuard VPN)
    • Pacman (Ubuntu Server w/ Dashy, Syncthing, Portainer, and NextCloud inside Docker)
    • MsPacMan (Ubuntu server for failover purposes. Still under construction)
    • CrazyTaxi (Windows Desktop)
    • MissleCommand (Linux Desktop)
    • MonkeyIsland (qBitTorrent)



  • FO3: Guns. Long-medium range guns. Real time combat plays like trash so max out your Agility and get used to living in VATS. Melee builds are also an option

    FO4: Maximize your scrounging and take every buff that increases the amount of something you find. You’re gonna need a lot of simple resources for base building, and you’ll not lose stock of essentials like caps or bullets. Dealer’s choice how you actually play the game, but real time aiming and shooting actually work in this one so VATS isn’t essential the way it is in the other games

    FNV: Weapons don’t matter as much, but pick a weapons stat and live by it. Make sure Speech is one of your top skills also. Once you get to the strip you can do a lot with a speech check.





  • I was really just using SMB for convenience sake, one less protocol for me to turn on and configure. I initially thought about NFS but when I realized how little I know about actually securing NFS I decided against it. Though, I suppose that’s led me to this point here.

    Trying it stock is exactly what I was thinking, though what folks have said about NixOS makes me think that’s going to be the first thing I try.

    Very first experience was NC-Pi, right before that project got canned. Loved it so much I spent a couple hundred on shared hosting and set v24 up there, but I’ve been trying to move to my homelab because A) One less bill B) I can use the 72TB RAID Array for storage instead of the 30GB storage I paid way too much for.

    Honestly have had great experiences with Portainer so far, with Nextcloud being the only real exception. PiHole, Dashy, an introducer for Syncthing, and StashApp all run without a hitch via Compose files dropped into Portainer. Though I am definitely going to take Docker out of the picture for the next NC install which means taking Portainer out as well.
