I have successfully closed the laptop lid but Ubuntu running on proxmox is still working!
(every little victory feels like a big deal right now...)
First hit on Google didn't mention that...
Whoa, this is pretty wild. Created a VM for Ubuntu 22, running the interactive Ubuntu installer in that VM, via the Proxmox web UI...
🤯
Ohhh... it's starting to maybe click.
"Proxmox VE provides for live migration — the movement of a virtual machine or container from one cluster node to another without any disruption of services."
So for my modest use case: old laptop starts dying, just move my whole Ubuntu OS (VM, really) to another machine.
WE ARE GETTING SOMEWHERE!
Just building out a new bitcoin node on a used laptop that should be way better than a Raspi4.
I really have no clue what the benefits of doing it via proxmox are yet, other than some vague notion that Docker made my life much simpler and proxmox ought to, too, but at a higher level of abstraction... I think.
Already a rough start. FQDN? (googled, got past it). I'm too much a not-sys-admin-at-all to realize I should have changed the default static ip addr to something reasonable for my network. Updated in debian and rebooted. Finally at the web UI!
No clue what I'm doing. Let's go!
Last paragraph is amazing. "You can't use twitter... and we're going to keep charging you for it."
Dayum, total transformation. Nice!
YO, my accuracy as a DIY builder has never been this on point!!
Figuring out how to properly mount it to those offset studs was the hardest part. Literally heading to the garage now to cut the plywood for that cutout.
I have a ceiling fan like that upstairs. I don't dare run it any harder than its slowest setting! The mounting screws were just a couple turns shy of how securely I'd prefer to have them fastened...
And, like ALL f'n homeowner DIY projects, there are more steps than I'd originally planned: because this is all raw and unfinished AND I wanted to do a backsplash anyway... looks like I'm putting up a backsplash before I can mount the range hood.
Adding like an extra week until I can cook again...
Had to cut this channel into the drywall to expose the studs. Will screw in a plywood board here to give me a firm surface to drill the range hood mounting screws into (it's way too heavy to even think about hanging it on just the drywall).
...replace it with a sexy new range hood. And a roofer coming to finally punch an exterior exhaust vent through the ceiling!
Cooking indoors with no external ventilation is so terrible. Gas range fumes, aerosolized grease settling on everything, first floor filled with smoke.
Vent, vent, vent!!!
I love being a builder--both as a coder and as a homeowner w/modest DIY skills!
Removing the over-the-range microwave and cabinet in order to...
That's next on my list. Cast iron is just so f'n heavy.
4-6. In my limited experience, more than that could take a while. And it's not like 6 rounds is fast!
But with Sparrow, if you keep the destination cold wallet open, you can automix to safety so it doesn't really matter if it takes a while, unless you have a lot of value hot in the mixer.
I've switched to an induction cook top so I think the heating should be pretty even. More worried about the lack of mass and the resulting lack of heat retention. I guess I'll just have to see how much power the induction pad can push back into the pan when needed.
Sautéing salmon and then broccoli after it is pretty much at my limit of effort I'm willing to put in!
