I think he means the cat

Already done that. This is the only one that supports working with sonarr and radarr afaik.

Trying to get a real debrid client to work right. It seems the internal downloader doesn’t work, and it supported using aria2.

AMBA/AXI-bus in the case of the Pi. GPUs existed long before PCIe did lol.

One some x86 systems the CPU and GPU aren’t connected with PCIe either. AMD has infinity fabric that they use for things like the Instinct MI300 and some of their other APUs

Edit: Oh yeah also ARM isn’t just low power anymore. It’s used in data centers and super computers these days. Even if it was there is lots of stuff you can do with a low power node, including running file servers, DNS or Pi hole, web servers, torrent/usenet downloaders, image and music servers, etc. I have also seen them used to maintain cluster quorum after loss of one more powerful node. A two node cluster won’t have quorum if one fails, so adding a pi as a third node makes sense.

Not all of them. Have a look at a Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon devices. In fact most ARM SoCs I am fairly sure don’t use PCIe for their iGPUs. This makes sense when you think about the unified memory architecture some of these devices use. Just in case you aren’t aware Proxmox does indeed run on a raspberry pi, and I am sure they will gain support for more ARM devices in the future. Though I believe an x86 device with unified memory could also have problems here.

My point is it’s not actually much (or potentially any) simpler to use PCIe passthrough than using an LXC. Yet it comes with more resource usage and more restrictions. Some hardware is more difficult to pass through, especially with iGPUs. I don’t even think all iGPUs even use PCIe.

You miss the part about XDG dirs?

2-3 clicks? That’s hilarious!

These are the steps it actually takes: https://3os.org/infrastructure/proxmox/gpu-passthrough/igpu-passthrough-to-vm/

That’s the best case scenario where it actually works without significant issues, which I am told is rarely the case with iGPUs.

In my case it was considerably more complicated as I have two GPUs from Nvidia (one used for host display outout), so I needed to block specific IDs rather than whole kernel modules.

Plus you lose display access to the Proxmox server which is important if anything goes wrong. You can also only passthrough to one VM at a time. Compared to using LXC you can passthrough to almost unlimited containers, and still have display output for the host system. It almost never makes sense to use PCIe passthrough on an iGPU.

The reason to do passthrough is for gaming on Windows VMs. Another reason is because Nvidia support on Proxmox is poor.

This is a guide to do passthrough with LXC: https://blog.kye.dev/proxmox-gpu-passthrough

It’s actually a bit less complicated for privileged LXC, as they are having to work around the restrictions of unprivileged LXC containers.

That’s going to be almost impossible to do with an iGPU. Makes way more sense to pass through to LXC.

Where would I find a device that could run DDWRT or OpenWRT? WiFi 6 is basically a minimum requirement at this point given I already have a WiFi 6 router and WiFi 6 devices. It would be silly downgrading just for the sake of using WRT.

I already have a router from another house. Not helpful given it doesn’t have 5G. Also walmart? I am not an American lol.

So what this would actually mean, is cancelling a 24 month contract, buying two devices, one a 5G modem, and another to run OpenWRT, for well over £300. Shipping the other device back to the ISP. All with no guarantee any of it will work, given my experience with buying cellular modems previously. This would take probably 1 week plus, and cause more disruption to my parents after having already moved house and one of them being in hospital. That’s not taking into account anything that goes wrong with using OpenWRT, which is any number of things given it’s unofficial firmware that I have no previous experience with.

Yeah no that’s not going to happen. They aren’t going to go for that and honestly I don’t blame them that’s a horrible deal, even if I pay for half the equipment.

Not an option. Costs too much, and my family have already agreed to this provider. It would mean sending their device back. Then there is the risk we get a device and it doesn’t work, which already happened once.

You’ve never looked up the cost of a 5G MFND from a reputable brand.

Yeah, I did try and find out from them what the DHCP range is. Unfortunately didn’t have any luck.

They do? I had no idea. This seems like the correct route to go down then.

Few computers use CoreBoot, and CoreBoot still uses proprietary blobs typically. Normally only libreboot has zero blobs, and they are very rare indeed.

Normally you use a separate AP to do that. BSDs don’t normally have good support for WiFi cards. Consumer WiFi cards aren’t really meant for use as APs anyway.

You don’t use VLANs to separate traffic?

It’s not a lack of settings on the router. It’s that I can’t login to the router because only they have the password. I will double check but it’s not in the normal place on the router, and it wasn’t included in the paperwork.

I did the research on the company, and both routers seem to have roughly the same capability. They are selected seemingly at random for the package I am on.

Triple NAT? Would that cause any problems?
