  • I think I am going to be one of the people buying into Zen 5 but mainly for the longevity of the platform aspect. I’m in the preplanning stage of my next ProxMox server that will be my NAS (unRAID VM), local infrastructure (Samba AD, Adguard, etc.) & Gaming PC via Parsec/Moonlight or plugged directly into the PC with GPU/NVME passthrough to a VM for gaming.

    Firewall is on a separate ProxMox host so if the ProxMox host needs a reboot internet will be fine.


  • I’ve been running OPNsense as a VM in Proxmox for a year on an AliExpress box that doesn’t have ECC. If I might ask, why do you have a requirement for ECC?

    Before this box, I ran a Dell R230 with pfSense but got tired of the noise and 40 watt power draw.

    I’ve had zero issues without ECC, so I’m just curious about your need for it.







  • This happened on a decent spec’d HP laptop I bought my mom a couple years back. No easy way to repair without ordering new hinges that were impossible to find and the PC repair shop quoted over $500 repair on a $700 laptop when it was new.

    Now she just leaves the laptop open in the 180 degree position with the laptop being held into a stand & bungie cord strapped to it to prevent it from falling foward. It is now a desktop PC and no longer a laptop.
