Eh hard drives are archival storage these days. They are DOG SLOW and loud. Any real time system like Nextcloud should probably be using ssds these days.

they make bulk storage ssds with QLC for enterprise use.
The reason why they're not used for consumer use cases yet is because raw nand chips are still more expensive than hard drives. People dont want to pay $3k for a 50tb SSD if they can buy a $500 50tb hdd and they don't need the speed.
For what it's worth, 8tb TLC pcie3 U.2 SSDs are only $400 used on ebay these days which is a pretty good option if you're trying to move away from noisy slow hdds. 4 of those in raid 5 plus a diy nas would get you 24tb of formatted super fast nextcloud/immich storage for ~$2k.
Raid 5 is becoming less viable due to the increasing rebuild times, necessitating raid 1 instead. But new drives have better iops too so maybe not as severe as predicted.
We were using this well into 2010 or so. Better audio quality than an FM tuner as long as the electromagnet wasn't overheating.
The best option though was to get an inline FM injector and plug it in where the antenna plugged in. Perfect audio.
Fellas is it gay to have healthy thoughts about your own self worth?
Check out NixOS. It can build qcow images from scratch for you to import into proxmox

I have 8 bare-metal servers and I do everything automated with NixOS, I rarely ever access the servers directly.
Here are the nixos configs for my DHCP server and kubernetes servers that you can use as a base.

For what it's worth, Ive been using Ansible off and on at work for 8 years, and I think it's pretty outdated and clunky these days, there are much smarter ways to manage workloads such as kubernetes, cloud-init, terraform, and NixOS. If you don't want to get into Kubernetes then definitely learn NixOS.
Deaf people drive just fine
Yeah one nice thing about nixos is that their package search website is really good. You can also search for config options with examples.
I mean the Arch wiki mostly works on NixOS too. The problem with NixOS documentation is that there aren't many examples for the Nix language itself.
The nice thing is that NixOS will keep your setup and all your tweaks if you ever need to reinstall. It's designed to solve that exact problem.
One way of switching over would be to carry over your homedir and just starting with migrating packages and config as a first step.
Yeah, it's a distro of kubernetes.
Most apps run best as a container, but for appliances and legacy apps they have Openshift virtualization which runs VMs in the cluster by running KVM inside of docker.
The open source tech there is called Kubevirt. All VMs are 1st class citizens in the kubernetes API, so it is actually easier to run than VMware/Proxmox if you already have a Kubernetes cluster and you're not doing complex stuff with qcow images or VM migrations.
I use both containers and VMs a lot with Kubernetes at work.
Super reasonable. We had a 2004 Honda Pilot at the time, which still had a tape deck.
I swear, even ebikes are starting to get all these GPS tracking features 😅 such a dystopia.
