I see the squatty potty recommended alot and just wondering if there's anything else as good or better
Currently not using anything in the past I used a small footstool but I'm 6'1 with long legs and it was comfortable
So I picked up some macadamia nut butter for the amount of fat you get from just a few spoon fulls to help there but Im planning to attempt this next week and would appreciate any advice or steps to take to prepare for it since you have to do multiple days
So in the recent 2 months Ive gone from no meds to Linzess high dose (too strong and caused me to bleed for hours), to lowest dose which still caused diarrhea but only for the first 2 hours
Then to luboprostine, which caused chest tightness and short of breath so swapp to motegrity
Which those side effects were too severe for me, so I went back to Linzess cause it was either that or miralax
But I ran into an issue tonight which happened with during the attempt of high dose Linzess, where the stool is moving so fast and aggressive it opened something up (I assume internal hemorrhoids because last colonoscopy said it appeared to look like I had a few)
But what to I do now cause I got past the diarrhea point, but there's still stool that's too soft or fluid to pass on its own and I can't push without blood just spurting out, idk how to handle both
So I edited the modlist in the From Tech to Magic modpack, for my local server as well as client, the local server ran without issues whoever the client is getting a rendering overlay crash
This is all the mods added to the modpack and the few ones I removed (I know its quite a bit, most is create stuff and bosses):

This is the modpack:

I was wondering if off the mods I added if anyone with mod knowledge would know ones that mess with rendering more that I could remove and see if it fixes
I can add the crash log if needed, I did try deleted the client neoforge tmol but nothing happened same issue
So I currently have a Dell Optiplex with i5 12500 16gb ddr4 3000 and nvme 256gb
I was looking for 32gb because I'm hosting a Minecraft server and that easily eats up 9-10gb then my proxmox, docker, portainer etc. eats up the rest
I found a 32gb ddr4 2400 kit but read that lower speeds may causing issues with it have to lower to those speeds for the whole system, should I worry about that for my current Minecraft server and future processes?
new to docker and game hosting
Was looking to install playit and id rather have it running as a container or stack, is there a known one that currently works? Or should I just build it myself
I also have portainer if there is an easy portainer stack to use
Setup my first VM last night of u Ubuntu with docker, and I want to setup a crafty controller container for a Minecraft server
But when thinking about using something like cockpit, portainer etc. someone mentioned to just use CasaOS since you have access to it and other stuff like Immich etc.
Not sure on which to choose now
So was thinking of adding portioner for docker, but after awhile I wanted a gui for ubunutu in general as well, and saw it said I can do stuff like portainer in cockpit for docker
Should I do both or is cockpit fine for running a few containers? I only play to have 3-5 containers to start with right now
So I am about to install proxmox, and someone mentioned in a previous post that windows if installed scrambles the mac address
The computer currently has windows 11 freshly wiped and waiting to be setup but I havent done anything with it
I have its ip reserved rn on its current mac address but with installing proxmox will it gain a new mac address and I'll have to reserve another new ip for it? Im worried about putting in the current ip for the install, it resets and it wont work because it needs the new one
Im a noob with networking
So this is my first server Im gonna setup in a proxmox VM, running craft controller in docker, and then instead of port forwarding just do playitgg for now
Now when I did minecraft servers in the past I always went through rentals, and had them open another port then just add the prox chat to it
And I wanted to plan this out before hand but how would I do it now through crafty controller if Im going through playit? Would I actually have to do port forwarding for this to work?
Trying to just understand before I start setting it up
So I'm new to linux/proxmox and about to set it up for the first time, a lot of guides helpful but before I do I see a lot talk about LVM and NFS, I'm currently just on a 256gb nvme do I need to worry about these for now or can I just disable/leave them be until I get more storage in the future
Also I think I'm confused on LVM is it better for smaller storage or when you have larger storage
Also about the ip cidr I just set the computer to have a deserved ip so it doesn't change in the future, I just use that exact one I made reserved correct?
Specs: i5 12500, 16gb ram, 256gb nvme
So I was really struggling if I wanted to do Debian/Ubuntu or proxmox as main is but with backups and future upgrades and probably moving to it later I've heavily leaned into proxmox now
But now looking into it and learning about LXC vs VM I'm confused which to use, and still unsure how isolated/secure LXC is to a VM
My first project is going to be an online Minecraft server for me and some friends through crafty controller, followed by adguard/pihole, immich and then probably a few other things later down the line like Jellyfin etc.
When looking into Ubuntu it was clear to just use containers for everything, but now for proxmox would I want to use an LXC for each or just a docker VM with all those things in it
Considering my Minecraft server is online I would like it to be completely isolated from other things, and keep everything separated
This is my first home server, So rn I have a i5 12500, 16gb ram, 256gb nvme (planning to add 1-2tb hdd for file storage/backups), may upgrade the nvme, I wasn't sure if 256 is fine for now or if I should just try find one higher asap
And I kept bouncing around talks about different OS mainly Debian, Ubuntu, proxmox and most recently recommended TrueNAS
I was mostly thinking either proxmox or Ubuntu
I'm just curious what the pros and cons are of something like proxmox vs Ubuntu with docker, had the thought that I could just run a VM in proxmox of Ubuntu that way anything goes wrong I can just have the backup and restore
My needs for it rn my main project will be a minecraft server and have that running and stable, then after that I plan to do adguard or pihole, immich, jellyfin etc.

So basically Ive been trying o decide what to build my first server on and while looking into both, no one really talks in posts I've found like, whats the pros vs cons of just running an Ubuntu VM in proxmox for added security and organization?
Vs just running ubuntu with docker
So I was able to get a pc with an I5 12500, 8gb ram (swapping for my own 16gb) and a 256gb nvme
My main goal is doing a heavy or plentiful modpack (probably around 300-400 mods) on Java for 5 friends max on at the same time, that I can have running 24/7 for whenever we wanna play
This is my first server hosting anything myself, I've been doing a lot of research before hand and still had some topics like OS, docker, amp/crafty, etc. I wanted advice on so I can do more research and then start getting to work
First was should 256gb nvme be fine for starting out? Or look for a 500gb-1tb nvme/ just get a hard drive for more storage for backing it up and other applications in the future, not familiar with server size usually
Second, I had recommendations for Debian or Ubuntu previously and after looking into both I was planning to do it on Ubuntu server for my OS but looking more into guides and reading, would it be worth me doing Proxmox instead and setting up a VM of Ubuntu, since I plan on possibly adding other applications like immich, or jellyfin?
Or would Ubuntu with docker be a better option, I've read that security wise Proxmox is great and since it's vms if you mess up you can just kill and start over
(I saw some stuff about casaOS or zimaOS too but unsure about them at all)
Seeing all these different posts and guides about which way to go just makes me unsure what fits my needs best
And then there's amp vs crafty, Ive read that crafty is better for heavy modpacks and overall just more up to date than amp for Minecraft now days so was leaning more towards crafty
And had planned to use playit for external connection, I am not familiar enough or confident for port forwarding and tailscale seemed overkill for 1 small friends server
So new to Linux but want to use Ubuntu server for my setup I got for mainly hosting Minecraft servers, and in the future immich, etc.
I'm not tech illiterate so can learn as I go but visuals do help me more than just text so I was wondering what GUI or dashboard to use
I see a lot recommend and don't know the differences or which one would fit for my needs currently
I've seen suggestions like cockpit, webmin, landscape, grafana, Prometheus
So trying to get a hold on a i5-12400f, and trying to determine if I buy the whole pc or get smaller mini pc to be able to use it, as I'm using this for minecraft server hosting, media storage etc.
Does anyone know of some motherboards in lets say lenovo thinkstations, or other smaller pcs that could work? I'm decent with tech but don't know my motherboards at all
Doesn't need to be new, would rather get something cheap off ebay if I can

So before I was looking towards a i5 9th or 10th series for a heavy modpack of 200-400 mods server with my 5-7 friends (obviously not on max settings, but running smooth with preloaded chunks)
After reading I see some recommend i3 10th gen over 8-9th i5 cpus
And new to server hosting/self hosting so I'm unsure which is better for my needs vs typical gaming
