As someone is very comfortable on Cisco / Arista / juniper

It’s a “verb noun” ui with autocompletion, same as on old procurve switches, same as on most gear.

What is the issue you have with mt CLI?

Uh, the FTC and the SEC aren’t the same thing.

Yes, exactly. Testing storage with game frame rate betrays a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of how modern video games work.

Opnsense is based on FreeBSD, not openbsd. They are different in handling jails, driver and fs support, so it does matter if you’re looking for info.

I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. The blockchain is a good mechanism to maintain a source of truth that is inspectable and verifiable by anyone. It would only serve to certify that official counts can’t be tampered with in certain ways.

But it doesn’t replace the whole democratic voting process. It doesn’t protect against coercive voting, for instance.

My point originally was that blockchain can be of use to us, but tech bros ruined its rep. Same with AI. I’ve been waiting for routers with ai-powered (really, just machine learning) firewalls that can adapt rules to environments. But instead of that, everyone is obsessed with generative stuff that isnt very good.

I appreciate your candor, but do you understand why the backlash happens?

Proposed ideas for block chain to maintain election integrity would only use a block chain ledger to verify counts, not store voter information.

If the power is off, the BMC is still active. That’s the advantage.

Brother… IPMI is a dumpster fire of security, it should be on its own mgmt network alone.

I use IPMI as a demo of how to use tcpdump and jack the ripper to compromise an ipmi login. It’s trivial.

Yes, exactly.

Block chain would have been an amazing solution to most democratic vote validation processes.

Corey Doctorow isn’t speaking to you, he’s speaking to the many, many people who have been fooled by the ai craze.

Is… Is this your first time on the internet?

One thing I wish ai would teach vibe coders is how to use semantic versioning.

Trying to infer state of project from versions in ai-assisted software is an exercise in confusion.

Agree on the Jonsbo. I have an N1 and it is not great for cooling HDD either. Jonsbo seem to design their cases as ideas and never actually test them.

I have found that a combo of Terraform and ansible cover almost everything, if that’s of any use.

Will test, thx. Keep up the good work.

I initially set it up because both sonarr and radarr were making their own api calls to indexers and I would get some “daily max exceeded” for certain sites. The idea was that if one host made the calls instead of 2, I wouldn’t get rate limited as much.

Now I only have my nzb and pb indexers, the first has no such limits because I pay for it, and the second is only used as a second priority, so I don’t really hit limits anymore.

If you have a bunch of arr services, this is useful. But I only have the two, so I don’t think it’s much work to set indexers up individually.

Edit: this ^^ is my suggestion. Add the indexers manually.

To me, it’s a good stack. A lot of ppl have lower numbers than this, but then they set up a VM with docker and just run 12 extra things there. :P

Yeah. I have a dell r430 sitting unused and a supermicro xeon-d board, both have a BMC.

It’s really nice to have, but server stuff is expensive and power hungry.

Plus, I’ve shifted my way of looking at the setup where I’d rather it just default to starting back up properly. Even if I have a failed disk, if I’m away there’s nothing incan do about it until I’m physically back.

I’m almost 30yrs in it/devops/infosec and I’m no longer interested in owning an excavator just because I can.

Incus, all services running in lxc. Ansible and templates to run startup stuff for new containers (ssh keys, etc). My docker setup is primitive, I regressed down to individual containers for each with docker compose. It’s so trivial to restore last night’s lxc backup that k3s/k8s doesn’t really help me. In fact, i’ve been simplifying everything to suit my use case, including hardware.

• wanderer for GPS track mgmt on “big screen”. I track my GPS trails and drives as a hobby. I’d love a self-hosted comaps web client, but I can’t really find one. :(

Plus lots of transient trials that come and go with interest. Rotating 7 day/4 week/3 months backups by NFS with pruning, includes snapshots, but I set expires on these.

This is running on 2x minipcs with 48GB ram each, but they are way overkill. I just received a mini itx i5 board, which will house all of the containers, save VPN and 1x DNS, which I will run on an SBC.

So I’m going down from 2x servers + 1 NFS nas to one 1u server for everything plus one SBC so I can reboot it.

Power consumption is king factor for me now.
