Proxmox backup server on HyperV

Saves me an extra device basically.

Occasionally WSL for AI stuff but it’s annoyingly fragile frankly.

Expecting a minor revolution on the intersection of /r/selfhosted /r/LocalLLaMA and /r/homeassistant

The self-hosted AI tech is slowly but surely getting to a stage where it could pull all of this together.

What required siri/alexa last year will soon be on /r/selfhosted turf

Worth noting that mx renewals honor BF pricing.

I'm still cruising on my 2019 era BF deal lol...

I was looking at their policies, and I am worried about the "Forbidden Services"

Bulk email providers need pretty tight and aggressively worded ToS by necessity because they're a target for spammers & abuse. The owner of mxroute has been around on various forum for years & consistently strikes me as a very reasonable bloke that won't cause you problems if you don't cause him problems.

I have 5 domains... Any idea what "massive numbers" means?

Maybe I'm imagining this so please don't quote me on this but I vaguely recall hearing them answering a question around what constitutes reasonable in the context of unlimited domains as "if you needed a script/automation to create them then you're probably over the line".

[Note that this is purely my impression as long term customer & I have no special insight/connection to them. Legally they can enforce the ToS]

Not much - it's been a pretty organic learning journey.

Very much a crawl > walk > run thing. Can't necessarily jump straight to the end.

Managed to buy a really sweet domain so using that for both mail and local domain

currently I have names for my machines in my /etc/hosts files across some of my machines

A better way is to set the DHCP server to resolve local too via DNS.

So in my case proxmox.mydomain.com and proxmox both resolve to a local IP...without any need to configure IPs manually anywhere.

On opnsense it's under Unbound >> Register DHCP Leases

Opted for loki since it allows using the same interface for multiple purposes
