As I said, there are certain types of traffic that are supposed to get sent to all ports of a switch. I did not list them all (for example, certain Microsoft protocols). If you think something is broken or misconfigured you will have to be more specific about what traffic you think is being...

Yes, very much so. Linux kernel developers do not care about keeping stable internal interfaces for proprietary drivers (as opposed to regular programs where they work very hard to maintain compatibility). They prefer that vendors work with them to include drivers in the kernel package where the...

How did you determine this? Are you really seeing ALL traffic, or just some? It is not true that switches isolate all traffic. Some things will appear on all ports even with a switched network. For example, switches will forward broadcasts to all ports always so you will see things like ARP...

Did you try "apt install ipmitool"? That should install the dependencies too (there are more than just that library).

There are (at least) three possibilities: DisplayPort - Works over any USB port but needs special drivers that you'll probably have to compile yourself. USB Alt-Mode - Should "just work" on Linux Thunderbolt - Should "just work" on Linux, but you might need to install the "bolt" package. A...

Reminds me of the time I came to work and went into the lab to see that someone had stacked up about 6 adapters to connect a radio to a signal generator. After studying the setup for a few minutes, I removed all but two of the adapters and it worked fine with much less loss and strain on the...

I have a Debian VM running on Hyper-V under Windows 10 that I use for embedded development. I have to say that the dynamic memory thing is not really all that great. While it might be useful for some use-cases, for me it was just too slow to allocate more RAM when needed. It was on the other...

Windows uses "unused" RAM for caching. That memory is not returned to the host. So it is "in use" even though Windows lies and tells you it is free (it is kind of a "white lie" because Windows can make some of it available instantly when needed). The "true ram" is the amount you allocated. The...

The date in the thread title is what you get when you boot Linux with a dead CMOS (Unix time of zero). If chronyd or systemd-timedatectl are running they will fix the time after the boot is complete. Perhaps the web service gets started before that is done.

Nope. That would be one huge kernel. Usually they are loaded from the initramfs. If the driver you need doesn't happen to be in the initramfs after you transplant the VM you would need to rebuild it. That's what the dracut command does in the above post, but that's for Red Hat based distros. The...

217% is half of the total CPU available. If you hit "1" in top you can see the individual core usage.

Containers are not remotely virtual machines. They are basically just namespaces. Even today not everything in the Linux kernel is namespace-aware (NFS probably being the most well-known example). And because the kernel is shared with the host there are more restrictions on the system calls that...

Your host and the VM are on entirely different networks (10.111.92.23/24 and 192.168.1.10/24). Assuming that the rest of your network uses 10.111.92.23.xxx/24, you would change the VM to be on that same network. I do not know anything about "amazon linux 2" so I can't tell you how to change the...

That error message means what it says. There is no route to the VM from the Host. It is a network problem. Maybe your VM is on a different subnet than the host, or you have VLAN's set up, or you turned on the PVE firewall, or something else you are not mentioning. To start, please post the...

The IP you or our DHCP server assigned to it. And you have to install an SSH server in the guest as well. This works exactly the same as on a real machine and isn't specific to Proxmox.
