That's the noise for sure, I seem to notice it every time I move my head. I've had the K271 mk II for like 15 years and they've lived in a pelican hard case any time they weren't on my head for the first 13 of those years and a cheaper hardshell case from amazon for the last 2 years or so. Its not like they've been abused at all.

Does the braid cut down on the plasticy squeaks? I've got a pair of K271 mkII and K712 pro and while I love the sound signature and the light feel on the head, the plastic squeaks have me reaching for my senny's instead

Uncle Vanny was Vanilla Ice this whole time?!

Well, thank you for that. That's a great weight off me mind. Now, if you wouldn't mind telling me who the fuck you are, apart from someone who feeds people to pigs of course?

I've been running Pop!_OS for a few years now on my laptop and about a year on my gaming PC. I've been very happy with it. Even microsoft Flight Simulator works perfectly. I've built a win 10 VM in virtual box for the few pieces of software I can't get going on Linux (old garmin GPS software and some ham radio programming software).

I'm using a Jellyfin server with Symonium on android. It's almost as good as plexamp, but sadly not available on other platforms. Symfonium will work with any media player that uses subsonic. My current jellyfin implementation is http with a VPN for external use.

game developers and publishers are hesitant to enable Linux compatibility,

And I am hesitant to spend money on their games.

Haven't tried it myself, but I've heard it's not all that.

I'm running the recognize app on nextcloud which I think requires at least 4-5 GB RAM, so I have 6 dedicated to that VM. I'm pretty sure the recommendation for Ubuntu in general was 2 GB RAM so I gave my pihole half that. Home assistant wanted 4 GB, but I gave it 2. I think my Jellyfin server has like 6 and I have another VM with like 4. So that's a total of like 19gb RAM provisioned. Plus I have a 2 TB zfs pool for my nextcloud VM. When I go into proxmox it tells me I'm using like 29.5 GB.

I suspect if someone was using docker or some other sort of containerization one could expect better performance than what I am getting with VMs.

I recently upgraded my homelab/self-hosting server from an old Dell T410 with dual X5650's (2 - 6 core/12 thread CPU) and 24 GB ram to an old Dell Optiplex (7020 I think) with an i5-4590 (4 core/4 thread) and 32 GB ram. Its barely enough for a proxmox host with 5 VMs; but way faster than the old T410.

If you are offering some sort of self-hosting box, would it be bundled with some sort of software for someone to easily spin up whatever services they want?

Are you going to be able to make money at the $150 mark with all this hardware and configuration? If you are targeting people who are new to self-hosting, it will need to be a complete package (will need to have ram and storage installed).
