I had similar concerns in the past. I decided to move all of my VPS hosted services to a physical server that I control. I then use a VPS as a portal, set to simply forward traffic without unencrypting the HTTPS. Look up SSL pass through.

Compressed air can spin the fans fast enough to cause damage unfortunately.

Did you use compressed air to clean out the fans?

It’s possible to fry circuitry if you artificially rotate the fans too fast, as this generates an electric field more powerful than the fans and their attached components are rated for.

Probably rare to cause damage with modern computers but an old PC might be more susceptible to this type of damage.

Am I understanding correctly that if users had 2FA, the vulnerability would be prevented from gaining access?

Fixed it. Thanks

I guess what I’m getting at is now instead of them tracing your activity to one browser or device, they can more easily group multiple devices since they’re all using the same VPN IP.

I’ve been toying with this idea but with a mesh network, in my case nebula, after experiencing a similar frustration with limitations on most client devices when trying to connect to multiple VPNs.

One question I’ve been trying to answer is if routing all of these devices to a single vpn endpoint has any negative effects on privacy. Would cycling the IP randomly help to prevent trackers from putting together a profile of activity?

I use Joplin and it works great for this exact thing. Anytime I discover a new command that fixes something I’ll throw it into my Joplin notebook. “New Server Cheatsheet” goes to list in order common operations and commands for setting up SSH, UfW, making a non-root user, configuring wireguard, etc. I have hundreds of notes by now and they’re easily found via search bar.

Yeah I think we’re talking about the same thing. Got any guidance on how you set that up?

I would say pretty secure. Of course, I would ensure all of the proper firewall, app pins, 2FA are in place in case my phone was ever compromised.

I’m already accessing all of the services now over the web with authentication. This new configuration would shift thos services from being public to only devices on my private mesh network with the proper certificates.

Hmm. I’m running a 3090 and 4090. Looks like vgpu is not possible yet for those cards.

Have you tried or do you have any knowledge about utilizing the display ports on the gpu while virtualizing either in lieu or in tandem with streaming displays?

I’m curious in a more in depth breakdown of your setup if you don’t mind. What is latency like and how are you handling switching?

How are you handling displays and keyboard/mouse? Also what VM software?

I’m not the one making wild accusations about somebody wanting to selfhost a gpu server to edit…incest porn or whatever it is you’re on about.

No idea what lie you think I’m telling. 🤷‍♂️

That’s such a weird leap in logic to jump to. Are you okay?

I run a few servers myself with proxmox. FYI there is a script that removes that nag screen as well as configures some other useful things for proxmox self-hosters.

Maybe my situation is just unique, but due to my job I’m able to have a single workstation with multiple high VRAM GPUs. I wouldn’t be able to justify the cost of buying new GPUs and an entire rig just for gaming or AI image/video. I wouldn’t foresee more than 2 VMs using the GPU in high priority at any single time.

When I’m not working this system sits idle or is running renders. Why not utilize the amazing resources I have to serve my other needs?

I have a workstation I use for video editing/vfx as well as gaming. Because of my work, I’m fortunate to have the latest high end GPUs and a 160" projector screen. I also have a few TVs in various rooms around the house.

Traditionally, if I want to watch something or play a video game, I have to go to the room with the jellyfin/plex/roku box to watch something and am limited to the work/gaming rig to play games. I can’t run renders and game at the same time. Buying an entire new pc so I can do both is a massive waste of money. If I want to do a test screening of a video I’m working on to see how it displays on various devices, I have to transfer the file around to these devices. This is limiting and inefficient to me.

I want to be able to go to any screen in my house: my living room TV, my large projector in my studio room, my tablet, or even my phone and switch between:

• my workstation display running on a Window 10 VM
• my linux VM with youtube or jellyfin player I use as a daily driver
• a fedora or Windows VM dedicated to gaming, maybe SteamOS
• maybe a friend comes over for a LAN party and we both can game without having to set up a 2nd rig
• I want to host an LLM or stablediffusion server without having to buy a new GPU with enough VRAM to run SDXL
