FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.

Observium is an easy starting point for network gear, without going down the Zabbix rabbit hole.

Personally I just roll Victoriametrics and Grafana.

Mind empowering my laziness and sharing that query?

I was also planning on bulk locking all their communities, to avoid any isolated islands of people that don’t realize the community is gone.

You could do something like nextcloud to solve a lot of issues, but I’d still hesitate to recommend on-prem hardware and managing hardware yourself. It really comes down to the business tolerance for outages though, maybe the computers being down for a day or two doesn’t matter.

Are you providing a support contract long term? Are you backed by multiple people in case you’re away and their business is down? I say this more figuratively than specifically you, this could also apply to their internal IT guy who wants to do this.

I’d strongly suggest deferring to a local business IT services company, unless you’re an active partner in the business. They should find a company they are comfortable with and trust, then use the products they recommend and are comfortable with.

Aka the compliment sandwich. A technique I personally dislike. Be honest and open with your feedback in a positive way, don’t try to hide it between compliments. If your feedback is simply negative, keep it to yourself.

Salt water.

I yoloed from a year old version up to the latest, it was fine.

Oh look, another spike in lemmy registrations.

I am the source.

Bro. Not everything is a conspiracy.

We saw a spike of users for the papaya snark community when they were banned off reddit, I think it’s that.

Lemmy.ca signups per day if we go back to the start of the first exodus:

<Canadian>Sorry</Canadian> I think your browser cached a bad redirect that was up briefly =(

Valid, but it’s run by a group in the UK that runs several of the popular ones. It’s prooooobably not going anywhere.

Sh for shell scripts.

This. Go pick up something like a used Lenovo Tiny. You’ll get way more power and flexibility
