I love Affinity, moreso than anything Adobe makes. I also work in the creative suite all day as a designer. If Affinity would expand to linux, I’d suggest the switch whinin our department immediately.

At least Affinity doesn’t screw around with Pantone support. They have that figured out.

Please someone think of the designers!

Agreed, first one has my vote.

I would go smaller with lower power hardware. I currently have Proxmox running on an r530 for my VMs, plus an external NAS for all my storage. I feel like I could run a few 7050 micro's together with proxmox and downsize my NAS to use less but higher density disks.

Also, having a 42U rack makes me want to fill it up with UPS's and lots of backup options that could be simplified if I took the time to not frankenstein my solutions in there. But, here we are...

This sounds exactly like the poweredge r530 I have in my homelab. Managed to snag it on eBay with those specs, minus drives, for $350.

lemmy.in would have been fun.

That’s what the compressor compressor is for!

I have everything in its own VM, and Proxmox has a pretty awesome built in backup feature. Three different backups (one night is to my NAS, next night to an on-site external, next night to an external that's swapped out with one at work - weekly). I don't backup the Proxmox host because reinstalling it should it die completely is not a big deal. The VM's are the important part.

I have a mini PC I use to spot check VM backups once a month (full restore on its own network, check its working, delete the VM after).

My Plex NAS only backs up the movies I really care about (everything else I can "re-rip from my DVD collection").

I’ve been using Swiftfin on my Apple TV with zero problems. Its a lot more simple than Plex.

Back in vanilla we didn’t call them DDoS attacks. We called them “patch days.”
