The Happy thread!

Seasonal tires swapped.... happy to see that the winter tires still look like they're good for at least another season, but I'll have to grab some new all season's come the spring.
I got the new All Terrain, snow rated Nexen Roadian ATX tires on the truck this week. Very happy with them!
 
So jelly fin was a bit of a struggle to get working but home lab now does GPU passthrough of both the Tesla P4 and the DG1 I picked up recently to a couple LXC containers, including the new jellyfin instance I spun up.

The DG1 is very much not officially supported on my dual xeon 2697v4 server (it is only supported officially on 9th/10th gen intels with iGPUs). So having it working at all is a bonus.
At one point I was ambitious and was trying to do GPU pass through from proxmox -> docker lxc -> docker container and had that working... but then I needed the USB Blu-Ray burner to also do pass thorugh and I could never get the docker container to pick it up the disks in the drive. Its one of the reasons why i recently ordered a cheap matx-x99 board so i can just have a dedicated baremetal ripping machine and pull the blu-ray drive out of the enclosure. It can just do it's thing until I backup all the disks I have... then maybe I'll sell it or something.
So I celebrated a bit to early "nvidia-sdi" worked inside the lxc container but when I finally let jellyfin scan the files on the NAS and tried to play them it failed. Couple hours of mucking around over the weekend re-started and tried a different approach and only tried to pass through the P4 instead of both (thought to swap between them for testing) and actually have playback and transcoding working. It is working now which is nice.

Was a little slow to build the library though... 2x10G aggregate connections for the server and nas network isn't the bottle neck, but I didn't check the CPU/HDD usage on the NAS while it was building the library only the server. Previously the NAS cache drives not having heatsinks (mirrored raid1 m.2 sata drives) was a bottle neck but they are no longer thermal throttling.

Tempted to configure a ram drive and transcode storage... (have ram to spare)
 
Decided to give VLANs another go. I'm going to be adding cameras in the near future and want all access blocked besides through Home Assistant. First had trouble w/ the Ubiquiti AP. And then secondly had trouble getting OPNSense setup properly so all traffic are on VLANs to prevent leakage between VLANs. Took all damn day but I think I finally got it working. :cool:
