  • Week of action planned against license plate readers

    Jump

  • I've read that the last time any consumer privacy laws were enacted at the federal level, it was in the 1980s when a video store clerk sold a politician's embarrassing video rental history to a newspaper.

    I'm wondering if any politician who drives a car past one of these things has gone anywhere that they'd not like the public to know about.

  • Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization”

    Jump

  • Same for me. In addition to deflock.me and haveibeenflocked.com, are there any community resource sites for finding others in the same city that would be willing to start pushing on the city to cancel their contract?

  • How do you manage your home server configuration?

  • How do you decide what's for Terraform and what's for Ansible?

  • Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

    Jump

  • Similar to others, I do this but the reverse direction. I have a Pi with HDD at a friend's house. On a timer, it wakes up at 3am, boots to a VPN and initiates an rsync (pull) with it's twin Pi at my place. When the sync is done, it powers down or the timer cuts power at 9am.

    Other than clock drift due to power outages, I've had no issues.

    I have a directory that i can put scripts into and the remote Pi will execute anything in this directory after the sync and before the shutdown. Logs from the rsync or scripts are pushed back to a different directory on the local Pi.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • I've been trying to learn K8s and more recently the Gateway API. The struggles are that most Helm charts don't know Gateway (most are barely Ingressroute) and I'm trying to find a solution to one service affecting the other gateways.when a service cannot find a pod, the httproute fails and when one route fails, the ingress fails. It's a weird cascading problem.

    Right now, I'm considering adding a secondary service to each gateway that resolves to a static error page. I haven't looked into it yet; it cane to me in the brief moment of clarity before I fell asleep last night.

    Also, I may be doing everything wrong, but I am learning and learning is fun.

  • What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

    Jump

  • I landed on Tandoor. I had a bunch of recipes on one of those web sites and they switched to a subscription model and locked me out of my recipes. I don't remember why I chose Tandoor over Mealie, but having full ownership over my recipes is freeing.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • I am interested in compression. I may give it a try when I swap out my desktop system. I did try btrfs in it's early, post alpha stage, but found that the support was not ready yet. I think I had a VM system that complained. It is older now and more mature and maybe it's worth another look.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • Those are some good points. I guess I was thinking about the hardware. At least where I do RAID, it's on the controller, so that offloads much of the parity checking and such to the controller and not the CPU. It's all probably negligible for the apps that I run, but my hardware is quite old, so maybe trying to squeeze all the performance I can is a worthwhile activity.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • Generally, if a lower level can do a thing, I prefer to have the lower level do it. It's not really a reason, just a rule of thumb. I like to think that the lower level is more efficient to do the thing.

    I use LVM snapshots to do my backups. I don't have any other reason for it.

    That all being said, I'm using btrfs on one system and if I really like it, I may migrate to it. It does seem a whole lot simpler to have one thing to learn than all the layers.

  • Tell me why I shouldn't use btrfs

    Jump

  • I've got raid 6 at the base level and LVM for partitioning and ext4 filesystem for a k8s setup. Based on this, btrfs doesn't provide me with any advantages that I don't already have at a lower level.

    Additionaly, for my system, btrfs uses more bits per file or something such that I was running out of disk space vs ext4. Yeah, I can go buy more disks, but I like to think that I'm running at peak efficiency, using all the bits, with no waste.

  • community hosted backups

  • Perhaps I've been naieve.

  • community hosted backups

    Jump

  • I have local incremental backups and rsync to the remote. Doesn't syncthing have incremental also? You have a good point about syncing a destroyed disk to your offsite backup. I know S3 has some sort of protection, but haven't played with it.

  • You're doing God's work!

    Over my career, it's sad to see how the technical communications groups are the first to get cut because "developers should document their own code". No, most can't. Also, the lack of good documentation leads to churn in other areas. It's difficult to measure it, but for those in the know, it's painfully obvious.
