I wasn't specifically planning to. And yeah, proxmox is a VM management system. I've never used it myself, but it's apparently the "new hotness" and I've been meaning to do a VM/container build for a while.
I'm more familiar with FreeBSD jails, but not everything lends itself to that well. Bhyve was also something I looked at, but proxmox seems to leverage qemu and ZFS together.
Plus, since I've never actually used it, it gets me out of my comfort zone and I'll maybe learn something neat.
That won't do anything about Bluetooth audio compression.
I'm about to drop a supermicro Xeon board plus an E3-1275 and 32G of ECC ram into the guts of this old Optiplex 790 mini tower I have. (i3 2100, so a generation newer, and a Xeon instead of an i3)
I plan to eventually get a better case but for now this is fine. Right now it's running Plex media server on FreeBSD on bare metal, but I'm planning to swap to proxmox once I get the new board installed.
Unfortunately that won't be for another week. While the board will be here today, it is a little more power hungry than the old system, and I'm already pushing the OEM 375W PSU with 5 drives (SATA SSD and 4 7200rpm SAS drives) so I also have a PSU coming. But that is not expected until middle of next week.
Last week isn't really that long ago. Going through my mom's old things and found a PC she bought new back in 2013. A Dell Optiplex 790 with a dvdrw in it.
I just happened to have a couple of blanks so I verified that it worked before pulling it out and using it as an external drive. Works that way as well on my much newer Ryzen 5800x build in a case with no 5.25" bays. (Or externally accessed 3.5s for that matter. No external bays of any sort other than some USB ports on the front.)
My 2006 Honda also has a 6 disc changer and it sounds better than the Bluetooth adapter I connected to it. (It is wired to the back of the factory sound system, but Bluetooth audio just sounds flat to me, even on the best speakers)
Google Glass seeing all the new AR glasses: "Man, they just weren't ready for me yet.."
Zork. God forbid you forget to look mailbox
How many years will that mower last though? I have a riding mower that I paid $2100.00 for... 14 years ago.

Interesting, sadly I no longer remember my old number, nor do I have access to the email I used 25+ years ago.
Bring back icq.
When the government is powerful enough to cause genocides, that's a problem. It's far easier to just not give your money to a business that engages in such practices.
Not giving money to your government, however, is considered tax evasion.
