I do get blocked by engines occasionally which can have a drastic impact on results.

Networking isn’t my forte but I thought IP addressing required layer 3 switching? Which is going to be dependent on your switch supporting it.

It will come back if you set it to start on boot. Make sure you set its priority to start before anything else that requires network connectivity. If you ever move to having a cluster it’ll be a real headache because you won’t have a network for quorum and so you’ll have to physically access the box to force start it. I would highly recommend going out and getting a NUC or some other dedicated hardware as a priority before any other expansion.

Yeah, I did it briefly to test if I wanted to use it before getting a dedicated Protectli Vault. But gateway and NAS are both things I recommend not running on Proxmox long term.

Router - for one you can’t form a quorum for a cluster if there is no network so you’d have to physically access the box every restart.

NAS - You lose access to any backups you’re doing and ability to restore if that node fails.

Which part? For the TV there was literally a wireguard app. I just had to install it on the TV and configure the connection to my wireguard server.

For the bridging I gave her my old router which I haven’t tested but I believe should support VPN bridging. I already have her on a subnet that won’t conflict with my network for that reason.

If it’s just you using it setting up VPN is an easy solution. I just use wireguard. If you have a pic you can run pivpn which is just wireguard.

Yeah it can be more limiting. Personally I got lucky and my mom’s TV runs Android so I could just install a wireguard client.

I will probably at some point bridge her network with mine since I want to install a TrueNAS box at her house for remote backup. So the VPN client will be moot at that point.

Eh the social aspect never was the point for me. It was more tracking progress. That said this was a good reminder to cancel my sub as I haven’t used it enough in the last year to justify it. If anyone has self hosted options I’d love to see those.

I think in one video it looked like 16 cards. I think he did multiple bifurcations of the pcie lanes. I think he is / was using it for protein folding as well.

Could always get super complicated and rotate your port knocking so no replay attacks. But now we’re just getting silly :)

No you port knock first to open the ports. Then connect the client.

Throw in port knocking for good measure.

Just mirror it locally in that small GitHub uptime window.
