Ntsync got rid of performance degradation that can occur with some games under esync and fsync

This explains SO MUCH! I was getting frustrated when games start out perfectly fine than 30 minutes in frames would drop significantly.

9 times out of 10 the software you’re looking will typically land in your Distribution’s repository, before it lands in the main repository it’ll be vetted for stability and security in a testing repository.

For example Steam-Installer is located in the Debian main repository for Debian 12 (Bookworm) they also have a copy in their Debian 13 (Trixie) repository for testing the next generation of Debian..

If you want to install software outside your distributions repository you will need to vet the software yourself and make sure it’s compatible with your distro.

Hope that explains it a little easier.

Why not just host the stack at home and VPN in? Jellyfin is pretty snappy I don’t think you’ll struggle much network wise.

Just bricked my Proxmox install an hour ago and I had the pleasure to learn their recovery process sucks. (At least for my case)

Think of them as a simplified mimic to the windows file system, they create this fake C: drive & user directory with basic windows paths (user, app data, program files, etc) an you can choose what firmware gets installed to prefixes (like .Net frameworks) an all this is how people can run .exe executables on Linux.

When you run wine ./something.exe a prefix is automatically created and the application uses that prefix to make it think it’s using the windows fs.

I picked myself up a Asus NUC 13th gen I7, chose Proxmox VE as the OS (headless Debian 12 for the main VM) and have about 35 services running via Docker Compose essentially 24/7.

Is it the most elegant setup? No, but everything runs beautifully.

Just make sure your Linux kernel supports the Intel chipset as they are relatively new.

spin up a second pihole docker and upgrade them separately so they can failover to the other one while upgrading.

Think I’m going to take this advice and put it in action! Thank you!

I think something else may be wrong if it breaks for 20 minutes.

When I originally setup my PiHole many, many, many months ago when I was still learning the Docker engine I had little to no issue.

I don’t know what caused it either being a power-outage or network loss but ever since I’ve been experiencing DNS related issues (I suspect it’s NTP not syncing), some days I’ll wake up before work realizing “oh shit I have no internet access” frantically trying to fix the issue.

I think i might take the advice of other commenters here and host two PiHole servers on separate devices/stacks, just got to hope my router supports it.

I could be wrong but I feel like I’ve seen

AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE

Before,

Now take what I say with a grain of salt because in my experience 9 times out of 10 drives not mounting properly stop the system from booting, if you have multiple drives connected to your pc that automatically mount and you’re familiar with your /etc/fstab I would suggest disabling auto-mount to any drive that isn’t your boot drive and try again.
