The majority of the Internet's routing and switching architecture is BSD based. Historically it had the most stable and performant network stack of all the OSs.

I used it extensively at one job in a previous life when I was a network appliance developer. It was rock solid and lightning fast. Tried it as a desktop at home and had a terrible experience.

The little differences in the Unix commands used to drive me nuts as well...

It's harder to freeze salt water then fresh water, do it's not economical.

The most energy efficient method of desalination i believe uses a membrane and pressure to get the fresh water to one side.

But these aren't even the biggest issue. The real question is what do you do with the left over brine? Desalination is not 100% perfect. You're left with fresh water and a salty sludge called brine. It's extremely difficult to dispose of without causing environmental impact

This pod cast is about someone who went through something similar, and ended up prosecuting.

See how negatively it affected their lives and decide if involving the police is best for you. I hope you agree that it is.

You may be preventing future crimes by stopping the behaviour early, even though it can be socially awkward to navigate this with a friend.

As good as eating.

Most are like junk food Few are like fine dining And a few are like eating food you hate at a friend's house but you're trying to be polite.

Overall I'd recommend experiencing it, but if you don't or can't no biggy.

Those are rubber grommets. They'll protect cables from wearing on metal that pass through the case.

Likely for things with hard wired controllers, like fan controllers or led lighting. You can hang the controller outside of the case in the back where nobody will see it.

I have a blue light filter on my glasses. I opted in because I sometimes use screens close to bed time for work.

I'm not going to tell you they work better then a placebo, but they work as good as one, and that's all I need.

They are 100% yellow tinted. Anyone who tells you they don't block blue light is a liar.

It's a buzz word.

Web 1.0 is just websites. They envisioned everyone had their own web site to blog on. Geocities, ISP hosting, web rings, link aggregators, and simple human curated search engines. That kind of thing.

Web 2.0 basically meant APIs. You could stitch a weather API with a map API and make a weather map app. This kind of came true, but it wasn't as free and open as people hoped for.

Web 3.0 is supposed the intersection of the web and distributed apps. Think games on the block chain like crypto kitties. It's mostly been a flop since blockchain based decentralization is slow, expensive, and difficult for users. That being said there are successful use cases like online wallet management and distributed exchanges (defi).

Doubt. You probably need to set the file owners in your volume to the same user running in the container.

Pass can't do this.

It's a cli tool, so you can call it within another call using dollar sign syntax

terraform apply --var "myvalue=$(pass path/to/value)"

I'm using pass at home, but I've used hashicorp vault at a few jobs with great success.

IBM just forked it to openBao as well to get around the business license, if that's a concern for your. But honestly I'd trust hashicorp more than IBM at this point.

It can take years of practice. Keep at it, everyone feels this way, and the ones that don't break through are the ones that give up

 

So I posted not too long ago that I had a drive failure in my RaidZ pool. Ordered a replacement disk (WD RED, purpose built for NAS), and tried resilvering only to see this after a short while...

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10214 https://www.truenas.com/docs/hardware/notices/componentarticles/wdsmr/ https://blog.westerndigital.com/wd-red-nas-drives/

Turns out WD started pushing out a new disk technology called SMR, that's slower, and fails when rebuilding RAIDs due to heavy write operations, and specifically marketed it towards NAS users? WTF Western Digital?!

Anyway, disk RMAd, and a replacement CMR disk is on the way. I'll never buy WD drives again... Lesson learned the hard way.

 

Recently rebuilt my homelab using proxmox and k3s. I like it a lot! Also loving dashy over the old heimdall dashboard.

If you have any suggestions for workloads, let me know!

 

Recently rebuilt my homelab. While restoring files to the new zpools, one of them had a few faults and ended up in a degraded state.

Replacement disk on the way, Hopefully resilvering the pool after disk replacement doesn't cause any more issues. Luckily, all the data is backed up as I recently rebuilt it, so no worries if it explodes.

 

Continuation of a post earlier in the week. I ordered pass through patch panels and premade cables due to bad connections, and everything is working great!

Getting rancher harvester installed now, then rancher, then setting up a small cluster to play with.

I may grab some OCI freetier and vpn to add another node.

 

A little update on the racking the basement lab.

New patch panel and cables made my life much easier. All the packets are flowing! Working out some KVM issues while I get rancher harvester deployed.

Patch panel was second hand, and unfortunately you get what you pay for. Fewer than half the ports are functional. I ordered some premade cat6 and a rj45 through connector patch panel to fix it.

 

Rack is wired (patch cables ordered). Unfortunately the second hand patch panel is a bad idea, less than half the ports are functional...

I ordered a rj45 cat6 through panel and a bunch of premade cables. Should be here at the end of the month!

 

Trying to cross post, not sure if I'm doing it right. Apologies if I'm breaking any rules!

Finally got around to racking up my lab! (Still needs wiring up, but that's tomorrows problem)

Top to bottom:

  • 1u PDU
  • 1u cable management
  • 1u custom super micro pfsense build
  • 1u tplink jetstream. 24x1Gbe 4x SFP
  • 1u cable management
  • 2u patch panel
  • 4u custom super micro server
  • A shelf with a UPS and a gaming rig (ryzen with a 1070ti)

Going to run rancher harvester + rancher vm + k8s cluster. Usual media stack, nextcloud, pihole, etc etc.

Mostly just want a cluster to play with and harvester seems fun!

It's started (reddark.untone.uk)
 

Some of my favorite subs have started going private already. I moved RiF out of the tray and replaced it with Jerboa.

I started my aggregated news with slashdot and fark. Moved to Digg after Kevin Rose announced it on TTV. went to Reddit at digg v2 because Reddit looked like diggv1. Went to rif when mobile usage passed my computer usage, now I'm here!

What's your story?
