I was in your position recently and decided to install PVE from scratch and restore VMs from backup.
I had a fairly complex PVE config so it took some additional work to get everything up and running. But it was absolutely worth it.

Same. It works great.
I don’t want to be too specific for opsec reasons. But windows 10 is the OS. OFX aka OpenFX.
I’m familiar with Proxmox, virtualbox, and KVM/KVM manager.
If I want to set up a PC to virtualize multiple operating systems, but with the feel of a multiboot system, what virtualization software would you suggest?
My goal is for the closest I can get to a multiboot system (windows, Debian, fedora) but virtualized so I can make snapshots. It should feel like I’m on baremetal when inside the VM.
Virtualbox is clunky with lots of pesky UI cluttering the screen and Proxmox doesn’t seem great for this use case.
Most important term to research regarding arr apps is “hardlinking”. Make sure you have your apps configur ed with hardlinks. Everything else is pretty easy and self explanatory.
I replaced the drives, installed the newest version of PVE, then restored all of my VMs from local USB backup. I had to reconfigure a number of things such as HDD pass through and other network settings, but in the end the migration was a success.
I don’t work in IT at all. My self hosting journey started when I got sick of feeling powerless in the face of big tech companies who are increasingly ripping off customers or violating their right to privacy. There’s also the general mistrust that comes from my data being repeatedly breached or leaked because share holder profits are more important than investing in basic security.
When I say local I mean automated PVE backups the same as it would be through PBS. If that makes any difference.
I have a remote pbs but the backups aren’t current because there was a connection error. I have Proxmox backups locally to a USB thumbdrive. That’s what I was going to restore from.
So I use Fusion360 for the technical building of components; framing, drywall, cabinets.
I export this to 3dsmax and flesh it out for archviz. Rendering with V-ray.
Unfortunately there aren’t any good options for pirating either of these softwares.
3dsmax and vray also have very steep learning curves.
There are also better alternatives than Fusion360 which include BIM features, but they’re insanely expensive unless you own a profitable architecture firm.
This is the way. Frigate just had a major update and the UI is now amazing.
I had a few episodes saved offline in my apple podcast app but it appears you are correct. Surely there’s an archive somewhere?
Appreciate the thorough reply. Mind sharing which service you used to download your Spotify tracks?
I feel you but I’ve already got curated playlists of over 3,000 songs me and friends have spent a few years putting together. I actually don’t mind the idea of pulling each artists whole disco as lidarr does. My current roadblock is the lack of good resources/tools that automate the process.
I operate an invidious instance. Google has really cracked down the past two weeks on YouTube front ends. Its extremely frustrating.
Invidious devs are finalizing a workaround so hopefully things will be working again in the next week or two.
Is there a way to automate downloads? As mentioned in my original post I’m hoping to essentially mirror a few Spotify playlists and have my server automatically download either all of the songs on the playlist or all of the songs by the artists appearing on the playlists.
Damn. You’re correct. My brain saw instance and ignored the rest.
Looking in the NewPipe settings I found a place to enter instances and there is one already configured. I guess I was proxied the whole time without realizing. Thanks for the clarification btw.
I often wish all services could provide an opt out “I’m aware no 2fa is risky but I really don’t give a damn about this account so fuck off with the constant email verifications”. Or if companies insist on forcing 2fa, at least support hardware keys. Don’t even get me started about banks…
I’m in the same boat as you in that I need Instagram for work. My approach is to create a separate work profile in GrapheneOS. I handle all of my mobile work apps in that profile using a separate VPN from all other profiles. I don’t expect to be completely free from tracking in this profile, but for my threat model I don’t mind too much. Any web queries I make in this profile I keep strictly work related.
People arguing you just shouldn’t use Instagram need to remember Instagram is a tool just like Windows, Adobe, etc. Sometimes you need a specific tool to do your job and I believe as long as you containerize that aspect of your life then you’ll be fine.
Just don’t use your work Instagram for personal stuff, not even browsing memes.
