  • Maybe reddit does that thing that Apple does where they have multiple siloed teams work on the same or similar things and just use the one that comes up with the best solution. So they have 80 independent devs each working on their own app and the current app is the least shitty out of all of them. Either that or they have like 50 shitty apps, 20 decent apps, 9 brilliant apps, and the one that they went with which was done by spez’s nephew who took a coding bootcamp one summer and is really good at mobile dev.

    I think it’s a healthy part of the growth of the Fediverse. Maybe it ends up being a good idea, maybe not. Hopefully everyone can keep an open mind and learn some lessons along the way both with successes and failures. Let’s be real, if this is what kills the Fediverse then the Fediverse was doomed from the start.

    This is all early days and I’m just enjoying the ride. It’s really just refreshing that it’s not some VC backed mega corp making these decision.

    Running the hypervisors built in to unraid or truenas are certainly options but proxmox/VMware are just easier. If you’re learning about virtualization, you’re going to find a lot more resources for proxmox/VMware. Conversely the storage capabilities of proxmox/VMware are either severely limited in the case of VMware or just not particularly user friendly for proxmox. By virtualizing your storage OS you can get the best of both worlds for some situations. Sure, there are situations where it’s a bad idea but if you’ve only got one machine and it has plenty of resources it can be very effective.

    Heck even if the main function for the NAS is just windows shares, that full blown storage OS is going to give you redundancy, snapshots, and replication. I’d say those are pretty important even for Windows shares.

    Another vote for virtualized router! I keep set a core VMs on that host where uptime is the highest priority. I’ve upgraded RAM, downgraded CPU, and eventually switched to an entirely new host with 0 downtime over the past few months. I’d rather not have to wait until everyone else on the network is sleeping before doing any tinkering on the hardware. It’s pretty neat to be streaming some video and then live migrate the router to another physical host with 0 interruption.
