Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can't get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I'm still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I'd rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Did you check Mint recently? If it's been a while, it could also be dust buildup at the fan.

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

Hmmm you might be able to first install Debian 12 and make sure the fan control works properly, then just install the proxmox application inside of that

Good call. That's plan b now.

Thanks!

I would run Debian from a stick and install Proxmox with the installer and not on top of Debian unless you have to. While the latter works, I found some settings around network interfaces to differ between the installation methods which caused me problems here and there.
