I got this Alder Lake unit from AliExpress. The issue I'm having is that I can't get Proxmox, Ubuntu, pfSense on it. It came with Windows by default. It's really dead simple hardware so I don't understand why Ubuntu doesn't work. It'll start the boot, but then just turn off after try or...

I just saw the switch review. It looks really late. @Patrick what's goin' on?

These look like they're both used, but they've also got power loss protection caps onboard. They're only gen3 x4 so not the fastest, but there's many available. https://www.ebay.com/itm/195408527450?epid=19031089884

I saw this on Amazon today. Sabrent Rocket Q 2TB $249 but there's a $50 coupon. 2TB M.2 SSD for $200 new. It's PCIe Gen3 not Gen4 but cheap is also good. Here's the STH review: https://www.servethehome.com/sabrent-rocket-q-2tb-review-large-inexpensive-nvme/ Looks like QLC NAND so it isn't the...

There's a new link on the Forums view just below "Post thread..." that says "STH Merch Shop." It goes to some site called "TeeSpring" Is that legit? Is it something you're testing @Patrick and @William ? The stuff on that site is using the STH logo so if not you should ask them to take it down.

Does anyone have a recommended way to run netdata on Proxomox? From what I can see you can: Run netdata on base system --- this doesn't seem like a great idea since you're installing an application on the base hypervisor level. Maybe Proxmox already has built-in monitoring so you could say this...

I've got a Proxmox VM that says "io-error" and it's got a yellow triangle. The VM is unresponsive. Storage is the same SSD pool that all the other VMs that are fine are running on with no faults in the local ZFS pool or hardware. Menu options were to start, I tried and it says VM already...
