When you’ve built a powerful Proxmox rig outfitted with your favorite virtual machines and containers, the last thing you’d want is a botched experiment to render everything unusable. While there are plenty of ways to safeguard your tinkering workstation, deploying a Proxmox Backup Server is by far the most efficient method of saving all your virtual guests. So, I’ve created this guide to help you integrate Proxmox Backup Server with your home lab.

Like any industry that's been around as long as the gaming industry has, games have had their share of scandals and controversies. There have been things that went horribly wrong, some that are still going badly, but there's so much happening in gaming (and the rest of the world) that it wouldn't be surprising if you forgot about them. But it's good to remember the scandals and the controversies, if only to be better equipped when history inevitably repeats itself.

Remote access software makes everything on your computer available from anywhere. More importantly, it lets you take control of someone else’s computer, making it incredibly useful for troubleshooting friends’ and family members’ devices or providing IT support.

RSS feeds have been my go-to for staying informed, from Google Reader to Feedly and Inoreader. But Google Reader’s shutdown, ever more bloated interfaces, rising subscription costs, and privacy concerns have made third-party services less appealing. Rather than relying on platforms that could change overnight, I turned towards self-hosting. With a NAS at home already running other services, adding an RSS reader made sense. After testing a few options, I settled on FreshRSS — an open-source, self-hosted feed aggregator that offers the perfect balance of simplicity, power, and control.

The Retroid Pocket Mini has an unfixable issue that’s causing certain graphical effects for emulated games not to work properly. Retroid, the China-based company that makes the Pocket Mini, announced on Discord that it will accept returns of the device but only during a limited March 8th to March 14th window — and capped at just 200 returns from owners who live outside of China, as RetroHandhelds reports.Earlier in the week, the outlet says Retroid acknowledged it couldn’t fix the issue, which affects how the screen shows scanline and pixel grid shaders used to give classic emulated games the appearance of being played on the CRT displays they were designed for. The effects can show up as “misplaced scanlines, uneven pixels, or a slightly distorted image,” RetroHandhelds writes.In this morning’s message, Retroid says carrying out this return campaign is a “large and costly endeavor,” and that it expects “a lot of return requests outside of screen-related issues.” Retroid also mentions it is asking customers to pay to ship their returns, which it promises to reimburse. Finally, the company added that it will offer all Pocket Mini owners “a $10 stackable coupon” for two of its future handhelds.As Russ from the Retro Game Corps YouTube channel notes in a post on Reddit asking for recommendations to pass along to the company for dealing with the situation, Retroid is in a hard situation as a small company that now faces having to pay for very expensive shipping on returns. But that doesn’t change the fact that many gamers who bought the $199 handheld specifically to play retro games are left with a device whose otherwise impressive display does a bad job with some of the oldest tricks in the emulation book.

PC storage drives used to be pretty expensive if you wanted higher capacities, and the same was true for SSDs when they first came out. Over time, the price per GB of storage leveled out, so that both HDDs and SSDs are roughly the same price for up to 1TB of storage, which is the average amount in laptops or prebuilt PCs. Those lower prices mean you can have more storage drives in your PC relatively easily, as long as you have physical space and a free port to plug them in to, but it wasn't always like that.

You might have one of the best SSDs in your PC, but you can still fall victim to some common SSD myths. Generated in online forums and circulated around the internet for decades, there are some old wives' tales about SSDs, how they work, and how to best optimize your performance with them, and we're here to put some of the most common misunderstandings to rest.

When you're using a GPU as powerful as the RTX 5090, it's inevitable that it's going to get a little toasty. However, someone discovered that the GPU's power connector perhaps gets a little too hot for comfort. Using a heat sensor, someone watched as their RTX 5090's power cable hit a toasty 300F (150C) during use.

Warner Bros. Discovery just released a new trailer for the second (and maybe last) season of The Last of Us, offering an action-packed view of the fraught world Pedro Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal) and his daughter Ellie (Bella Ramsey) are facing. Things look bleak for both of them, and the show’s fungal-based zombies don’t seem to have become any less dangerous. The trailer’s centerpiece is a snowy human settlement that, at one point, is assaulted by a zombie horde. There are lots of explosions and at one point, a monstrous zombie being blasted by a flamethrower. There are also brief clips of characters fleeing in the woods and an ominous close-up of a sickle just before a shot of someone being hanged.Interspersed with shots of them are flashbacks of Joel and Ellie, the latter of whom is intense in shots of her sprinting and firing a handgun or running over the top of an underground train. There are brief clips of other characters, including a man and his daughter who seem to be fleeing something — or someone — in the woods. The trailer closes on Ellie saying to what looks like a guilt-stricken Joel, “You swore.”The Last of Us season two also stars Jeffrey Wright as Isaac Dixon, Isabela Merced as Dina, and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby. It debuts April 13th on Max.

Well, it has been a wild month or so for GPU fans. We had Nvidia's first salvo of RTX 50 releases hit the market, for better or for worse. Then, we saw AMD take to the market with its own hardware. And now, just when we thought we could take a rest from all the GPU news, we hear rumors of a potential RTX Pro 6000 releasing, and it's a beast of a card.

Home security is more accessible than ever, with cloud-based cameras offering remote monitoring and AI features. However, these services come with subscription fees, privacy risks, and limited control over your data. A self-hosted surveillance system eliminates these drawbacks, giving you full control, better security, and greater customization. Here’s why it’s the smarter choice.

If you're like most people, you probably buy one graphics card and use it for a few years at a time. As of recent times, NVIDIA has commanded a very large portion of the consumer GPU market, so chances are, you probably own an NVIDIA GPU. But what if you wanted to switch manufacturers? There are many reasons one might make the switch to AMD, whether that is perceived value, features, or otherwise. Once you've purchased your shiny new GPU from the Red Team, you should consider these 5 things when installing and using your new graphics card.
