  • 100% agree with you re: Proxmox. I’ve recently migrated my gaming PC to a Proxmox setup with a Win10 gaming / VR VM, and a Debian 12 VM solely dedicated to serving, quantizing, and optimizing LLM (with full 3090FE vfio passthrough 😁). The other one I have is a super old mini-ITX tiny box with an i3-4130 in it, and I use it for a Plex LXC b/c my NAS has a CPU that doesn’t support hardware transcoding (even though I’ve literally showed all my clients how to disable transcoding completely so they all get direct streams / direct plays at original quality to their devices), just in case some transcoding needs to be done.

    So I decided to set up the Cluster/Node bit a few days ago, and it is SO awesome to have instant access to both servers at one URL and interface to manage all my VMs/LXCs. I’ve only had one problem with Proxmox since I started using it a couple years ago, and I’ve loved everything else about it!

    In the spirit of “why not right?”, here’s one of my favorite random services I run: https://github.com/jordan-dalby/ByteStash I love being able to save little snippets that I know in the moment I will hit myself later if I have to look it up again.











  • Documents from the Israel Ministry of Justice released April 2024 by Anonymous For Justice. The dataset contains 800,000 emails in HTML format, over 700,000 image files, 200,000 documents and thousands of spreadsheets and presentations. The breach was investigated by the Israeli National Cyber Directorate, who told Haaretz: “After the dissemination of the materials relating to the Justice Ministry, an investigation was opened, and in this context, a gag order was imposed on details of the investigation as well as on the information that was taken.” Telegram channels sharing the data have been shut down.

    245GB of data to download. This would actually be a good job for an LLM to summarize, but not sure how you’d index all that data.


  • I’ll describe most of these in more detail below but my main takeaways from the last few weeks are:

    1. Have faith (always run it with ‘dangerously skip permissions’, even on important resources like your production server and your main dev machine. If you’re from infosec, you might want to stop reading now—the rest of this article isn’t going to make you any happier. Keep your medication close at hand if you decide to continue).

    Cool, I’m out.
