  • The only way I see myself ever giving it another go is if I manage to get into my NixOS setup for easy replication or something, too much manual tweaking otherwise.

    The compromise I arrived at after I migrated to Linux was booting windows off a VHD file on a USB SSD when I really need it. That way I get a portable, fully performant install without it wasting any disk space or messing with my partitions.


  • I’m no expert but I see no obvious red flags there, should be good to go!

    My first idea was to buy one PC with two GPUs with passthrough of GPU and USB input (sitting anyway close), but I got the impression, that is at this moment more something to tinker, then to run “in production”.

    I’m under the same impression, I check it every few months but it looks clunky and not worth the trouble. Not something I’d like to rely on right now, that’s for sure.



  • Since space is a major concern, maybe have a look at borg and possibly something like borgmatic on top for easier configuration. Borg does deduplicated backups, so you could do even hourly ones if you wanted without too much extra space depending on how many you want to keep. You’d need to run a borg server wherever you want to store your backups so it’s not a simple rsync over ssh situation but that’s the price you pay for the extra niceties.
