Please wait...
Good to have you here.
Darn, you beat me to it.
Fri Oct 31 2025 20:36:57 UTC from ZoeGraystoneHappy Samhain everyone. See you on the other side of darkness.
I posted what happened somewhere. I gave up. 2016 and after beat me down, and I just quit. I'm trying again. I don't know if I would host again. Maybe I'd bring it back as a hosted site? I could wrap it all up as a VM and send it somewhere. I am missing having my own place to call home and I have a proxmox copy ready to roll somewhere. I dunno. Cit depression? Could that be a thing? ;)
Even hosting somewhere else, while safer, is still a hassle with all the constant attacks upkeep, bla bla.
And as we all know. building a user base from the ground up in this day and age is hard. its not 1984 anymore.

Oh, and ya, PVE is a wonderful thing. Be it for hobby or production.
Back when i did consulting was using free xenserver at clients. ( and of course Linux vms to do 'the stuff' ). But they started stripping out base features and moving them to pay, so you were basically stuck on an old ( and of course in time, insecure ) version. Moved to an open project designed to keep it alive, but they were struggling. ( i hear it got better later, but too late )
Not wanting to risk my clients, I searched around, was about to just do it myself via native KVM and just lose the pretty ( but useful ) GUI, but happened across PVE by accident, as it wasn't a big name that long ago. Instantly swapped it and I never looked back. PVE had some wonderful features even back then, and its only grown from there. I still need to look at their 'high level management' server that will manage disconnected clusters.. I think its in beta now, out of alpha.
Now a days i have no clients as i just didn't have the time to do both them and 'my job' and it wasn't fair to them, but still use it at home exclusively. Tho that may change.. when i leave where im at this spring and depending on what i end up doing and the time involved, i might start up doing some on the side stuff officially again and not just help out friends and small business people that i do business with when i see them struggling ( my help is free, but if they need hardware, the gotta buy that.. i can only be philanthropic to a point, i'm not rich ).. donno yet. Not that far along in planning. ( oh and no, i wont charge friends :) )

I thought that, when it comes to IThobby and production are the same.

Not that it means a damned thing, but i tried it on TOR this
morning just to see... Wondering if it might be regional. But
it worked.
Surprisingly the out-port was in a Russian province. I was NOT
expecting that at all. Figured that would be a dangerous thing
to do there. Using, sure, i can see that happening a lot, but
not being an out-port.

No dice. I am using the Tor Browser and search.citadel.org fails for me more often than not. Mind you, I use Tor Browser from both home, a bar close to $work[1] and the bus station and I keep finding the same issue.
By the way, Russia has an enthusiastic hacking scene going on. Lots of darknet nodes are Russian, not only Tor's.
Oh, ya i figured that, it was just having an exit node running is what surprised me. Good way for them to be "noticed"
