  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

  • Go slow. measure 4 times. most rooms don't need a jack so put APs where it is easy to ge wires and that will feed the other rooms.

  • Installed grocy on a server and magic mirror on a pi. Now we can track all the daily tasks of life which makes my wife happy

  • Thank you for git - a lovely version control system https://git-scm.com

  • You come across the Death Note today. What do you do with it?

    Jump

  • Burn it. Sure there are people that need to die but I don't want any risk anyone else gets access to this even at the expense of letting evil people live.

  • I'm done with Ubuntu

    Jump

  • There is a reason I put arch on my latest computer. I will give it a few months to be sure but I'm thinking of swicthing. details matter so when printing doesn't 'just work' in one program with a print dialog I know snap is not ready for ubuntus target.

  • Landing page for all my services

    Jump

  • Static, hand coded html. You can be as pretty as you want to be. A good learning exercise and since it is all static it will be fast and won't have more security issues.

  • As a time traveler I expect to have knowledge of what readers exists. verbatim makes archival grade DVD, blu-ray, and CD media guaranteed to last 100 years. Put copies on a couple different time capsules and I'm good. However I don't have much confidence that media readers for any of this will exist. Even if I put a reader in the time capsule I'm not confident it will survive - the media will be good but the mechanics probably are lost to corrosion, so this is the most important part.

    Does it really need to be all 100tb? Can I find a small subset that matters? We have history of payrus scrolls with the correct ink that have a proven history of lasting thousands of years when left in a desert garbage dump. You can find the recipe for making both the scrolls and the ink in the bible. Copy by hand, leave in the desert, in a location I know archeologists will dig in 100 years. This is very limited amounts of data that can be saved though.

    If the above doesn't work, non-acid paper when laser printed (not inkjet!) should last plenty long. Again I don't think I can get anywhere near your 100tb, but I remain convinced everything we need can be archived on it.

  • Seagate's fraudulent hard drives scandal deepens as clues point at Chinese Chia mining farms

    Jump

  • That means you haven't make them large enough yet.

    Good luck getting people to care, but it is in the end your best counter.

  • Long term boycottes are the best thing - IF you can get large numbers to follow. Large enough that management schools are forced to teach about how ever real reform won't be enough to save you from bad actions.

  • Copyright madness: YouTube seems to doubt whether Shakespeare is in the public domain.

    Jump

  • That is for individuals. Whichever side you are on. No alternative can exist without both creators and users in large enough numbers.

    Asking which is first is a stupid question. Even if you could prove an answer it wouldn't change a thing.

    I'm sorry I can't think of how to write that nicer.

  • how can i make my brain stop deleting whatever i study for an exam

    Jump

  • I'll admit to not being very good about homework, but I didn't wait until the last minute when I did do it. I was an okay student at best. Doing more homework would have helped me more than anything else.

  • That question is likely illegal to ask. Only ask questions relevant to your job. Culture fit is will your form a book club together, it is can you work with this person and then go home. If you are regularly doing such social activities with everyone you work with outside of work hours you need to get a life. (it is okay to make friends with people you work with, but that isn't a goal.)

  • how can i make my brain stop deleting whatever i study for an exam

    Jump

  • Learn the material not study for the exam. That means do the homework. That means attend the lectures. That means read the textbooks. Preferably do all of the above on different days. The key is to see the same material (in different contexts) many times before the exam. The day before the example you do a quick review and that is enough.

  • What do people use for a shelf-stable backup

    Jump

  • ZFS even if only one server is much better than most people have. If your ZFS replication is to a different building you have done pretty good. However as others have pointed out there are limits. Those servers costs you a couple bucks/month in electric (where I live my electric is 100% wind, but most of you should read CO2). You have to buy both servers, and hard drives will crash regularly.

    There are a lot of trade offs, but cold storage backups are often much cheaper in the long run than the backup zfs server. And those cold backups are a lot easier to put into multiple different locations.

  • Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS?

    Jump

  • It is a pain to figure out how to give everyone the same user id. I only have a couple computers at home. I've never figured out how to make LDAP work (including laptops which might not have network access when I'm on the road). Worse some systems start with userid 1000, some 1001. NFS is a real mess - but I use it because I haven't found anything better for unix.

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • on life support thay haven't pulled the plug yet but it is coming. They are not updating anything not urgent and so new hardware support is dead as are jails to do useful things. I'm probably moving to xigmanas in the near future.

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • I know, I like BSD. However because core isn't a supported version of FreeBSD I cannot update the other things I run on my NAS. I'm more worried about an attack on those out of date services than I am about the few issues that have been fixed

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • only the most basic security. It is out of date according to the pkg system and so jails cannot be updated-

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • At least you get updates. I'm running TruNAS core which isn't updated anymore, and I have some jails doing things so I can't migrate to scale easially.

    The good news is this still works despite no updates it does everything it used to. There is almost zero reason to update any working NAS if it is behind a firewall.

    The bad news is those jails are doing useful things and because I'm out of date I can't update what is in them. Some of those services have new versions that add new features that I really really want.

    I have ordered (should arrive tomorrow) a N100 which I'm going to manually migrate the useful services to one at a time. Once that is doing I'll probably switch to XigmaNAS so I can stick with FreeBSD. (I've always preferred FreeBSD). That will leave my NAS as just file storage for a while, though depending on how I like XigmaNAS I might or might not run services on that.
