  • Most NAS VMs want you to pass them the raw device so they can manage ZFS themselves. For every other VM, I have the VM running on ZFS storage that Proxmox uses and manages, and it will manage the datasets for backup, snapshots, etc.

    It is definitely the way to go. The ability to snapshot a VM or CT before updates alone is worth it.
















  • As someone that’s used a pile of Heltec Lora V3: they’re fragile pieces of overpriced shit. I’ve kept buying them as they’ve kept failing and I think I’ve purchased about a dozen in order to keep 2 devices alive, and the latest two are only a few weeks old. I’ve had a brand new one just stop working as I’ve programmed it for the first time, and I handle these things with an ESD strap on because I think they’re just really poorly protected.

    I’m porting my project (a solar pump with radio linked trough float) to eByte e32s and a standard ESP32 because I’m tired of having these things crater if I look at them sideways.
