  • Lines F and E don’t exists in your diagram, all your VMs inside of Proxmox are accessible and sharing port eth3. Except Opensense, as its not bridged to eth3, but instead is assigned to the NIC card you have.

    OPNSense inside Proxmox is the only VM that will see the NIC card and be the only VM that uses that NIC with those interfaces.

    One interface would be for WAN in like you drew, and the other is the LAN port like on any other router. This LAN port needs to connect to a switch as this is where your OPENsence will communication with the rest of the home network and handout DHCP addresses. It’s also how you would reach your OPENsense GUI through a browser. (Outside of managing it within Proxmoxs GUI, accessible on eth3)

    If your OpenSense VM goes down your home network won’t have a router which means no PCs would be able to communicate as they would have no DHCP addresses, so even if all your communication is “inside of Proxmox” your VM still would not get a DHCP addresses.


  • What you may want to do is use something like Tailscale (or a VPN) to connect the two sites (homes) together.

    Run your Tailscale setup in home A, and then in home B connected to your tailnet. You can install Tailscale on the home router of home B, or install it on any device that needs to connect to home A.

    Then in home B you just connect to your Jellyfin server like you normally would if you were in home A. This could be a android box or smart tv for example or accessing it through a browser on a pc. (If those devices have Tailscale installed and are connected to your tailnet in home A)

    Using a VPN like Tailscale would also mean you don’t expose your Jellyfin to the internet.






  • I have been running PfSense on Proxmox for ages now.

    What I do is the following.

    1. Pass the NIC card through to PfSense.
    2. Your motherboards ethernet port is plugged into your network switch (think of proxmox as just another pc on your network)
    3. In PfSense your NIC can now be seen and all ports can be assigned as needed. Assign one as WAN and the others as LAN.

    Set your pfSense /OPNsense to start at boot when you power on proxmox.

    FYI, you might occasionally run into issues where the NIC “GUID” changes so your VM won’t be able to start.

    When this happens your pfSense/OPNsense VM won’t start so your network will be in a “down state”. This means DHCP won’t be working either, and any PC that were not assigned a static IP won’t be able to access the Proxmox GUI to quickly fix the issue.

    You might occasionally need to hook up a temporary router between a PC and your Proxmox host to access the web GUI as a result. At least this is what I do when my outrage is longer then a hour.







  • Well that’s a weird way to phrase it.

    When a car or appliance is no longer in production commercial by a company generally a person can still find third party suppliers or manufacturers that provide replacement parts, or someone might step in and manufacture a specific part if demand is heigh enough.

    Why cannot the same apply here? Game developers/publishers should be archiving the game servers and making sure anyone can spin up their own servers, or choose to allow the game to run without the servers.

    I dont think anyone here is asking that the company that developed the game needs to continuously support the product after its end of life, but allow others to be able to freely support it themselves.

    The way I see it now, corporations are going to keep producing games, applications, appliances, cars, machinery that requires servers to operate and a active subscription. Once those servers are shut off your cars heated seats for example will stop to function.

    I know this was just about games, but these politicians are so short sighted they basically are allowing all the above.


  • Reading the article AMD pushed a update and that update removed a feature that was once supported. There was also no mention that the update would remove said feature.

    I dont know, but to me its like buying a car with heated seats. Then getting a update pushed, and those seats being disabled with no way to activate them. Or like having your old iphone performance artificially slowed through updates.

    The big question is was this accidental in disabling this feature, or was it calculated. And if it was calculated why was there no announcement. The whole thing smells IMO.

    Long story short, the hardware supports it, but the software disabled it.



  • The issue is most of our roadways are designed like strodes.

    We should design streets as streets, and design roads as roads.

    Roads have no cut curbs or driveways, no parking is allowed on a road. Traffic lights and intersections are minimized and roundabouts are preferred. Roads are like low capacity highways in a sense. Trails run beside roads as opposed to sidewalks to minimize conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles.

    Streets are narrow and lower capacity, sidewalks and pedestrians are common. Street parking is allowed. Curbs and driveways are common. Speeds are low and intersections are other signalized or stop signs are used.
