High Memory Usage in Proxmox

I have only one vm and I just ran "htop" in it. It's using less than 3 GB RAM. But proxmox shows 11 GB. Why?

              Thanks to SeaweedFS, I've set up two replicas of the BSD Cafe's media. One is on a backup server (for disaster recovery purposes only, also containing the hourly zfs-autobackup backups), and the other is on a Raspberry Pi 4 running FreeBSD, which is one of my home backup servers - just one meter away from my desk.
              I've also configured Nginx in a jail, so when I'm at home, the BSD Cafe's media is served directly from the local replica.
              The performance is lightning fast.

                          I'm considering setting up a home lab and truly self-hosting my own services. Unfortunately, my budget is limited to around $100-$150. I'm wondering if the HP Elitedesk mini PC is suitable for this purpose. I'm particularly looking at the HP Elitedesk 800 G3 or G5 models. Unfortunately, finding these devices in Dhaka has been challenging. So far, I've found a G3 on bikroy.com, but it comes with a 6th gen i7 CPU.

                                    I had a realisation. All this self-hosting and pain and learning I put myself through:

                                    It is the equivalent of someone who works in IT doing a bunch of stuff to their car themself, modifying things so they are just so, and doing their own maintenance.

                                    I look at those people and go WHY! THERE ARE FAR BETTER USES OF YOUR TIME!

                                    So yeah, presumably IT folks look at people like me battling after-hours with self-hosting things… basically like that. :neofox_thinking:

                                      What have been peep's experiences with building RAID arrays with 16TB, 20TB, etc. hard drives?

                                      Too big and slow to pivot when a drive breaks? Lower reliability per spindle compared to smaller units? No differences of note?

                                      Context: I have multiple 6 disk draid2 configs with 8TB spindles. The drives are aging out and could use an excuse to to reduce the number of spindles (less heat, noise, power, weight). Thinking about 3-4 way raidz[1|2] — or maybe something different.

                                        Making the most out of a small LLM

                                        Yesterday i finally built my own . I had a spare RTX 2070 with 8GB of laying around and wanted to do this for a long time.

                                        The problem is that most need a lot of VRAM and i don't want to buy another just to host my own AI. Then i came across and . Both of these are amazing models with stunning reasoning given that they need so less resources.

                                        I chose huihui_ai/qwen3-abliterated:14b since it supports , and is pretty unrestricted. After some testing i noticed that the 8b model performs even better than the 14b variant with drastically better performance. I can't make out any quality loss there to be honest. The 14b model sneaked in chinese characters into the response very often. The 8b model on the other hand doesn't.

                                        Now i've got a very fast model with amazing reasoning (even in German) and tool calling support. The only thing left to improve is knowledge. is a great tool for and as soon as i implemented websearching, the setup was complete. At least i thought it was.

                                        I want to make the most out of this LLM and therefore my next step is to implement a basic that exposes the same as so that everywhere ollama is supported, i can point it to my python script instead. This way it feels like the model is way more capable than it actually is. I can use these advanced features everywhere without being bound to it's actual knowledge.

                                        To improve this setup even more i will likely switch to a architecture soon. This project is a lot of fun and i can't wait to integrate it into my homelab.

                                          pero no me va ni de una forma, ni otra
                                          antes tenia cicd.lab apuntando a npm, y un proxy host a 192.168.236.105:8000,

                                          y para hacerlo mas "sencillo" he probado tambien ui.ci.cd apuntando a ese proxy host, y cicd.lab apuntando al host directamente (sin reverse proxy)

                                          en ambos casos, me sale:

                                                    Question for those of you who are your / instance with a very small number of users (max 5, let’s say): how many other instances are you federated with?

                                                    No reason, I’m just curious.

                                                    FYI my little instance that hosts @logistics
                                                    (with ~150 followers at present) is federated to ~6,500 other instances.
