I run Proxmox on my router (an Intel NUC) with an OpenWRT VM (though I used to run OPNSense, and might try going back to it later). It makes things more complicated, but I'm familiar enough with Proxmox that I'm okay with that complexity.

Setup right, I don't think you'd experience any performance hit in terms of your network, and your 8th gen i7 is likely better than my Celeron J4025, so I imagine your Web UIs will be fast enough even virtualized.

I virtualized my router because it let me experiment with different router options way more easily (I could switch from OPNSense to OpenWRT and fall back on my old OPNSense VM if I messed anything up, I could setup VLANs in a cloned VM and fallback to my old VM if I couldn't get it working, etc.). I'm a very indecisive person loll. But if there's no reason for you to virtualize it, then I wouldn't bother unless you just want to.

I vaguely remember my Intel NIC gave problems with OPNSense, but running virtualized meant I could use Linux drivers (via Proxmox) and give OPNSense a VirtIO NIC that it would be happy with. Oh, and it's nice being able to run the Unifi Web Server in an LXC on the router so it doesn't go down whenever I mess with my server PC.

Personally, I only run network-specific things on my Proxmox instance on the router (so, OpenWRT/OPNSense, and the Unifi Web Server). My more home-lab stuff is run on a completely separate machine. Like others have said, I don't want my internet to go down when I mess with my server.

If you do end up virtualizing ur router, in my personal experience using VirtIO network devices for the VM seems to work best for me (the E1000 seemed to hamper my upload/download speeds quite a bit, VirtIO made it pretty much line-speed — that could just be OpenWRT quirks or my NIC, idk).

Mostly rock & metal (Examples being: Architects, Beartooth, Chaosbay, While She Sleeps, Dark Tranquillity, Ice Nine Kills, Periphery, Babymetal, & Hanabie.. Though, throw a piano solo in and I'm sold (Corelia's "Treetops", for instance — I need to explore more symphonic metal. Not that Corelia is– anyway).

With that said, I've also got a few outliers that mostly include game & TV OSTs (Hoyo-MiX, Crush 40, kessoku band). Add in a few tracks from LiSA, and "Ghost" by Hoshimachi Suisei & the cover by Rachie to really leave my Spotify Recommended dazed & confused.

TL;DR: The spectrum of rock & metal all the way from Incubus to Lorna Shore, with sprinkles of J-Pop, Electronic, & random OSTs to really hospitalize my Spotify Recommended.

A TV Series can have an IMDB ID set: click the three dots on the series, click edit metadata, scroll down to External IDs, fill in as needed, then click save. (This alone doesn't update the metadata though)

To refresh metadata, click on the 3 dots again, select refresh metadata, and select replace all metadata. It should use the IMDB ID provided to fill in & replace the metadata.

As for subtitles: sorry, dunno anything on that. My subtitles come from DVD rips 😅. I've been too lazy to setup any subtitle downloader.

Sure does, if your motherboard plays nicely with it.

Personally, my acer laptop doesn't; if it goes into sleep mode, I have to hard-reset it to get it working again.

Joplin with sync via Nextcloud. It has other options though, you don't have to spin up Nextcloud just for it.

Y'all remember netbeans?

There's always a ~~bigger~~ worse fish.

Absolutely agree — that entire album is amazing tho

Spotify links cuz I'm lazy — not in any particular order:

• Architects - "Spit the Bone"
• Chaosbay - "New Age" Do take a listen to the whole album if you like this song. It's a concept album and the music really flows quite well from track to track.
• Beartooth - "Below"
• Beartooth - "In Between"
• Ice Nine Kills - "The American Nightmare" This band's interesting, in that their last two albums' tracks are all inspired from/are about various horror movies.
• While She Sleeps - "Sleeps Society"
• Periphery - "Wax Wings"
• Bury Tomorrow - "Begin Again"
• Everture - "Empire"
• Dark Tranquility - "Eyes of the World"
• Countless Skies - "Tempest"
• Shylmagoghnar - "Transience"

You could technically get around that 300 game limit by having emuNANDs on your SD card — but 300 games is an absurd amount anyway, lol.

I've got a 128GB in my 3DS and a 32GB in an Acekard2i that's shared between the 3DS & DSLite.

I don't need either of those cards to be as big as they are, lol. Those cards had just happened to be big enough to fit my roms & not otherwise used in anything, so they're what I used.

I imagine an avid user could still easily get by with just a 32-64GB 3DS SD, and a 4-8GB SD for a NDS flashcard.

Edit: Oh, and my GBA flashcart's SD size is still somehow absurd for the amount of roms it has on it, while still only being 4GB in size.
