So you’re running Proxmox and you have storage for the node on an NFS share somewhere. When you get a container or VM from somewhere else and upload it, lazy style like me, it might end up with the wrong ownership if you do it like this: The result is the Proxmox backup utility will…

Torgrun’s Journal, Day 6
Dad, Who the hell does magical experiments on cats to turn them into snake jawed attack cats? This shit was unreal already working for MOOK, but now i’m trapped in this magical manor in the middle of purple swirly space and the cats are attacking and the furniture is attacking and there’s nothing in the…
Torgrun’s Journal, Day Five
Dad…I’m eating books. And gems. And magical things. And for some reason, that’s normal now? Like, it seems normal when I’m doing it, and suddenly it’s unnatural and I can’t believe I’ve done it and people are yelling at me about eating rare valuable tomes and I don’t know what the hell is going on….
Torgrun’s Journal, Day Two
Whitestone City, Day Two Dad, things aren’t great here. I was in the healer’s room getting repaired, I guess, and there was this huge crash and a guy named Gillian was in the foyer obviously fighting some monster that had broken out of the prison. That monster ended up being my old boss Gregory Faust,…

<The following letter is written in clearly drunken handwriting> hey shortass– I Have News You were right and when you’re right you’re right and like your dad always said the only good knowledge is deep dwarf knowledge and I shouldn’t have left for the city I found work for some old batty artifisser and all…
Torgrun’s Journal, Day One
Whitestone City, Day…I don’t know, a month maybe? fuck it So the artifissers and healers both say I need to keep a journal. I guess it’s because if I don’t I might lose track of who I am and what is me. And what isn’t me. I never thought I’d have to write that. They…
Renaming GoPros the manual way
So you have a GoPro camera, probably an older one, and for some reason you can’t rename them when connecting them to the Quik app anymore. Don’t fret, here’s the precise way on how to get it done.(Credit to https://github.com/KonradIT/gpauto but his instructions aren’t complete) Go to your Connect screen on your GoPro, and get…
Finding orphaned Proxmox disks
So let’s say you’re running Proxmox and you have a bunch of containers and VMs, and you’ve been moving them around. Or you’ve been making/deleting a bunch of VMs so you end up reusing guest ID numbers. You might end up with orphaned disks in your LVM-Thin volumes, or elsewhere, that aren’t attached to anything…
Uploading the correct ACME keys to your SFTP upload client
So you’ve got OPNsense as a router, and you’re trying to shove certificates around using the ACME client automations, and it’s not going well. You try to test the connection and all you get is Permission Denied (publickey, password) errors. The fix is to upload the correct key to the correct place. The issue is,…
A quick strategy to get Proxmox to let you upload disk images to Thin-LVM volumes
So, a little background: In Proxmox you have local mounted storage on each of your nodes. You also have Thin-LVM volumes, which are an abstraction layer sitting on top of physical hardware; so like /dev/sdb isn’t the actual volume, it’s just the block storage for the thinly provisioned LVM volume. You can put images there,…
