How I, a non-developer, read the tutorial you, a developer, wrote for me, a beginner - annie's blog in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

To be honest I skimmed just of this, but the way my phone screen resolution caused line breaks I got to see the words "sususudododo baby" and that alone made me giggle.

I haven't really used adguard or nextdns before so I can't compare apples to apples. I can say that Rethink is a FOSS local-VPN-based adblocker that doesn't need root. I used to use a different VPN based one before that I forgot the name of, but because it was a VPN I couldn't also connect to my home Wireguard VPN at the same time, so I was swapping VPNs all the time. I like it because I can be connected to my home VPN, and then if that connection fails it automatically uses the on-device DNS blocklists, which can be customized which lists to use. It can also set different DNS rules / bypass filtering on a per-app basis instead of being forced to being system wide. It's been useful to allowlist certain domains for specific apps only to let them work.

Using RethinkDNS for on-device blocking, but also let it make a wireguard tunnel to my house so I can make use of my PiHole at home.

Thank you for making me not feel crazy for thinking that exact same thing.

Does anyone here prefer instrumental music over *songs*? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] shadshack@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I do prefer instrumental music, but for completely different reasons. Mostly for me it's because I get earworms extremely easily, and can have a song stuck in my head for days at a time. 99% of the time it's the lyrics that are stuck, so it's a much lower chance to get an instrumental song stuck in my head.

Yeah yeah. Just saying it's definitely more than the "zero support" you credit them for.

Steam Survey For July Shows Linux Use Approaching 3% in c/linux@programming.dev

Same. I actually had the prompt recently when I had rebooted into my Windows disk to play a game that doesn't when on Linux (damn kernel level anti cheat), and declined the survey because I didn't want to help the Windows numbers. Only ever gonna take it on the Linux side of my PC from now on.

What about without line of sight? If I get one of these is it going to work while it's sitting on my desk, or am I going to have to mount some antennas on the roof to actually make it usable? The maps only show like three other people in my city with one, so I'm not sure how useful this will actually be for me.

I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him "do you want something that sounds good or looks good" and was amazed he actually said "looks good". So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.

The real question is, which color? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Peanut butter ones all the way.

Tunic is awesome and I wish more people talked about it in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

The soundtrack is also amazing. Lifeformed did a great job with it, just as they did with Dustforce.

Any tips for switching Hypervisor from Hyper-V to Proxmox? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm thinking about making some changes to my home server to make it a little more robust and let me do some cool new things with it (like actually trust it for backing up data to with NextCloud, replicating VMs or data across sites, etc). I'm just looking for any advice people might have for this process to migrate hypervisors.

What I currently have:

  • Windows 10 Pro OS with Hyper-V
  • Running some applications on the host OS (Plex/PRTG/Sonarr/Radarr)
  • Running a few VMs for things I set up after I realized "I should be doing these in VMs..."
  • 4 HDDs for data, each just mounted individually. 2 for TV, 1 for Movies, 1 for Backups

What I'd like to have:

  • Better OS for running the hypervisor (Proxmox is what I'm reading may be best, but I'm open to suggestions)
  • Nothing running on the host OS other than a hypervisor
  • All my services running virtualized, be that via Docker in a LXC or a guest OS.
  • My Drives all in a RAID 5. Planning to add more drives at some point as well.

My thoughts on the process are that the "easiest" way may be:

  1. Just throw a new OS drive in to install Proxmox on
  2. Export my VMs from Hyper-V and import them into Proxmox
  3. Set up the services I had running on the host OS previously in their own VMs/containers
  4. Make a new RAID either: a. with new disks or b. by combining data from my existing disks so I can get a free few disks to start the RAID with, then moving data into the RAID and clearing out more disks to then add to the RAID, rinse and repeat until done (that's a lot of data moving I'd like to avoid...)

I wasn't sure if it would be a smarter idea to do something more like this though (assuming this is all possible, I'm not even sure that it all is). If this is possible, it might reduce my downtime and make it so I can tackle this in bits at a time instead of having an outage the entire time and feeling like I need to rush to get it all done:

  1. New OS drive for Proxmox
  2. Use Proxmox to boot my Windows 10 drive (this I'm not sure about) so that everything continues as it's currently set up.
  3. Slowly migrate my services out of the Windows 10-hosted VMs and host-installed services
  4. I probably still have to deal with the RAID the way I mentioned above

Is there any other method I'm just totally not thinking of? Any tips/tricks for migrating those Hyper-V VMs? That part seems straightforward enough, but looking for any gotchas.

The reason I haven't done anything yet is because I only have so much time in the day, and I'm not trying to dedicate an entire weekend to this migration all at once. If I could split up the tasks it'd make it easier to do, obviously there are some parts that would be time-consuming.

Thanks in advance!
