Who the hell reneges where their CD keys are? That was 20 years ago

I just bought aan IP KVM switch for a hundo, now heading to the store foir a case of frosty’s and re-rack my servers to make room.

The one factor that no one seems to have mentioned yet that is key for many of us is LEARNING …

It’s a great way to learn virtualization and containerization

I use it exclusively to run Linux containers, it makes it very convenient to backup and restore as well as replicate environments.

We are now migrating our lab at work away from VMW

Hey! You can’t do that. That’s MY strategy for beating “Plague INC”

That’s exactly what I have, and that’s exactly what I wanted … DARN … oh well. I guess it’s nice to have the document sync as well

Works for me

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don’t have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)

Is it better than NC?

Switch implies I only have one computer … I have many, including several servers.

Ever since I have memory I’ve been a tinkerer and linux being OS enables you to do amazing things … along with open source software.

I (dont) use arch BTW … Windows on my gaming PC (because of antichieat amongst other compatibility foes) Mint on my personal tablet and Proxmox on my servers

Can we skip forward to the part where orange Mussolini offs himself sad and alone in a bunker?

Someone likes sugar …

Forgive me … for I am an engineer and we tend to be obnoxiously objective … but coffee is coffee … I tend to just make my own, and on a pinch. I prefer gas station’s for the convenience

This is bad news … I also host my Pangolin ingress node on Ionos … Can you let me know what you pick?

Watch them try to ban raspberry pi now … like they did with the flipper

That’s fucking awesome!

I feel like this woman is about to give a bomb ass obituary so fucking powerful that it’s going to start a revolution https://youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ?t=4

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.

I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD

Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.

Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

I don’t trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they’re free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn’t reclaim your box)

I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that’s routing traffic for my “media” box
