Is it all automated with versioning intervals and stuff? Or is restic required as a third party step and maintaining a duplicate of data on the server for it to grab?

Overall it sounds like a decent VM manager but is meant for enterprise stuff where they'll be building their own backup systems.

Yeah I mean even if it was trained specifically for that, they often will still be incorrect because they don't actually understand the concepts they're presenting.

Yeah, running a 240V 50A outlet in a garage in most homes would be fairly cheap, since it's usually not going very far from the main panel. So might as well do it if you're already spending a huge chunk of change on an electric car.

The last time we hired an electrician to run about 30 feet from a panel to a new 50A sub-panel across the shop for a project was around $800 IIRC.

The one that comes with your DE is generally just fine, unless you're a serious terminal user.

One feature that might be nice is some kind of local LLM integration so I can get help on how to tinker with settings and such

I think that's a quick way to nuke your install, LLMs are generally wrong about what commands to run and don't understand enough to know when something is dangerous. All it takes is changing one wrong file and everything breaks.

If you uninstalled the app or disabled it, then it can't run in the background.

makes me wonder what “services” are running in the background on my mobile.

A lot unless it's a degoogled ROM, especially on non-Pixel phones like Samsung, they add a massive amount of background processes.

The forks won't last long without firefox.

You can use a VPN client that supports split tunneling.

I believe the openvpn client does, and there's also https://tunnl.to/

I've been using Zen which is nice and has some stuff removed that we don't want.

But it'll only be around as long as Firefox is around.

That's what proxmox has too, but snapshots aren't backups and aren't being sent to a remote backup server.. You're also not supposed to keep snapshots around for very long, whereas I have backups going back several months.

Or are you sending snapshots to a remote server? I think ZFS can do that, so maybe that's an option I can look at.

That's also how you know it's a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don't have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

This looks interesting, how do you handle automated backups of all the VMs/Containers? Their docs kind of seem to say "stop everything and figure it out", but with Proxmox I'm used to it handling everything automatically to my PBS server every night.

That's what I'm wondering as well, how do we differentiate cooling towers and the heat from those vs actual exhaust emissions..
