    APC is cheap garbage.

    If you are concerned about the power quality causing damage, you want an online or double-conversion UPS. Those ones don’t even bother trying to condition power, they run off the battery all the time.

    I don’t have a whole lot of experience, but Eaton has been reliable. People also recommend Tripp-Lite and Cyberpower but they’ve always seemed cheap to me.









  • I have one VM for running Docker stuff (i.e. the arr stack, jellyfin, etc.). Unless your hypervisor supports docker containers natively, separating them is just going to make it more difficult for you for no good reason.

    I don’t run anything else in Docker right now, but if I did, I’d probably stick it in the same VM for now to save on overhead. If it was enough to be its own stack, I’d separate it.

    ClamAV is great for exactly one thing: checking the “has antivirus” checkbox on company security audits.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a real AV product, but there’s no real need for it. You’ll get much better results just being careful about what you run and having a system and network firewall. And not running everything as root.



  • No. I’m no chip engineer, but I know that certain functions can put a processor into certain states, and if there’s a bug in the driver or firmware, or ESD micro-damage to hardware, it can manifest in unpredictable ways.

    Also, I don’t think GPUs typically need firmware updates, but worth a check.
