The stale mount that ate half the backup windows

The PBS datastore on the external drive was shared into the VM over a PVE virtiofs mount. Backups failed roughly half the time, always with the same error, os error 23 — ENFILE, too many open files. Half the 03:00 UTC vzdump window was going to waste, and the failure looked random.

It wasn't random, and the fix wasn't a better mount.

Frameo with ImmichFrame, an amazing gift

When giving the gift of a digital frame, we want to make sure we are retaining our privacy by using our own self hosted Immich server to serve up the photos for that digital frame. If you aren't currently self-hosting, I would stick with a digital frame that at least gives you the ability to use a local usb storage, but of course this is not as flexible as fetching photos from the internet.
