I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him "do you want something that sounds good or looks good" and was amazed he actually said "looks good". So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.

The real question is, which color? in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

Peanut butter ones all the way.

The soundtrack is also amazing. Lifeformed did a great job with it, just as they did with Dustforce.

I had to scroll really far to find this, but my LG was so good I bought another when I moved. My wife thought all dishwashers just sucked until she saw how well the LGs can do.

The cell signal at my office is so bad it barely loads anything, so I use work Wi-Fi. But I wireguard VPN all my traffic to my home network so I can make use of my pihole and get to my home server more easily.

I've got this little blue plastic cup I've had for almost 30 years. Use it for my toothbrush. Got it when I was a kid and it's the only toothbrush holder I've ever had since.

I just found two of these in my garage. They'd be cool if they weren't around every time I go to do laundry. They eat cockroaches though so I guess they're still cool.

LG? Mine does the same. Also my washing machine plays the same tune.

Any tips for switching Hypervisor from Hyper-V to Proxmox? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm thinking about making some changes to my home server to make it a little more robust and let me do some cool new things with it (like actually trust it for backing up data to with NextCloud, replicating VMs or data across sites, etc). I'm just looking for any advice people might have for this process to migrate hypervisors.

What I currently have:

Windows 10 Pro OS with Hyper-V
Running some applications on the host OS (Plex/PRTG/Sonarr/Radarr)
Running a few VMs for things I set up after I realized "I should be doing these in VMs..."
4 HDDs for data, each just mounted individually. 2 for TV, 1 for Movies, 1 for Backups

What I'd like to have:

Better OS for running the hypervisor (Proxmox is what I'm reading may be best, but I'm open to suggestions)
Nothing running on the host OS other than a hypervisor
All my services running virtualized, be that via Docker in a LXC or a guest OS.
My Drives all in a RAID 5. Planning to add more drives at some point as well.

My thoughts on the process are that the "easiest" way may be:

Just throw a new OS drive in to install Proxmox on
Export my VMs from Hyper-V and import them into Proxmox
Set up the services I had running on the host OS previously in their own VMs/containers
Make a new RAID either: a. with new disks or b. by combining data from my existing disks so I can get a free few disks to start the RAID with, then moving data into the RAID and clearing out more disks to then add to the RAID, rinse and repeat until done (that's a lot of data moving I'd like to avoid...)

I wasn't sure if it would be a smarter idea to do something more like this though (assuming this is all possible, I'm not even sure that it all is). If this is possible, it might reduce my downtime and make it so I can tackle this in bits at a time instead of having an outage the entire time and feeling like I need to rush to get it all done:

New OS drive for Proxmox
Use Proxmox to boot my Windows 10 drive (this I'm not sure about) so that everything continues as it's currently set up.
Slowly migrate my services out of the Windows 10-hosted VMs and host-installed services
I probably still have to deal with the RAID the way I mentioned above

Is there any other method I'm just totally not thinking of? Any tips/tricks for migrating those Hyper-V VMs? That part seems straightforward enough, but looking for any gotchas.

The reason I haven't done anything yet is because I only have so much time in the day, and I'm not trying to dedicate an entire weekend to this migration all at once. If I could split up the tasks it'd make it easier to do, obviously there are some parts that would be time-consuming.

Thanks in advance!
