Purpose The main Proxmox host has 64 GB of RAM, about 62.6 GiB usable. In October 2026 it crashed three times in three days, and last -x showed the boots of 2026-10-21, 10-22 and 10-23 all ending ...
Purpose ntfy is a small self-hosted push notification server. In the lab it carries alerts from the Hermes agents to a phone. The email transport of the ops digest wasn’t finished, and the agents ...
Purpose The camera recordings dataset had to move from a QLC SSD pool on the Proxmox host to an encrypted NVMe pool in a TrueNAS VM. It held about 1.69 T of live data plus 73.6 G in 13 snapshots, ...
Purpose The Intel GPU Docker host now runs a second inference runtime beside Ollama: llama.cpp’s own llama-server. Both use the same Intel Arc B60. The reason is long prompts. Reading a long promp...

Purpose The two Proxmox hosts described in the Proxmox post now share a direct 25 GbE fibre cable with no switch in between. The main host holds the media pool and the TrueNAS VM (see the TrueNAS ...

Purpose Once a dozen agents and timers run on one box, “what ran, did it need a model, which one, and what did it cost” has no obvious answer. The question came up as four parts: how many times an...
Purpose I moved datasets from the Proxmox host to a TrueNAS VM with zfs send and zfs recv. The first one, a small SMB share, copied cleanly and passed every check. About an hour and a half later T...
