  • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?

    Jump

  • Yeah. And it's a huge problem in the developing world.

    A gynaecologist I used to work with from time to time dedicated her whole retirement to it - she operated hundred of cases per year until she physically could not do it anymore,then she spent another two years teaching in various places until she could no longer do that anymore as well. (By then she was well into her 80ies). She was a saint basically, but without the whole Christian stuff (she had a massive hatred for the church and especially mother Theresa)

  • Yeah. Very good way to know when your SO is soon getting PMS as well.

  • And both boys and girls often have a redish discolouration in their nappies initially - aka brickdust deposit. Totally benign almost all of the times, but a lot of parents are shocked.

  • In a town where 76% backed Trump, locals are outraged as his new bill shuts down their only hospital

    Jump

  • Well, if only the US federal goverment would provide adequate care for people in that facility,that would very likely create enough additional business for the hospital to survive.

    If only....

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • Thanks a lot. I expanded it a little bit.

  • Backups of Backups

    Jump

  • Basically:

    • Small proxmox node (Zimablade) that basically does only operate a Proxmox Backup Server for local clients and fast backup.
    • Offsite ZFS send to a VPS I operate for that purpose. As well as Proxmox Backup Server for VMs,etc. Basically meant as a fast recovery option. (Layer7)
    • Offsite S3 storage backup to a different provider from above. Meant for a medium term backup. (Hetzner and IONOS)
    • Portable HD: I have two different portable HDs. One is hooked up to the Backup server, the other one is in a lock box in my banks safe. The "connected one" does a weekly backup (and is switched off in between). Once in a while (around 6 to 12 weeks, with 12 weeks being the hard maximum) I take the active one to the bank and both drives switch places. That provides a full backup. (WD My Book and Seagate Expansion - the differrnt manufacturers are intentional)
    • Last line of defence: The real real important things (photos of life events-weddings,etc.- important documents,Password DBs) etc.) get burned on a M-disc Archive blue ray. They are also in the bank safe and at a secure third location. They are more meant for "shit hit the fan and I might not be there anymore,but maybe the kids want these". Additionally they provide a defence against encryption viruses - write once reas many (WORM) has it's advantages here.

    This is another thing to consider: Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens. I operate a private wiki (on an external server) that also gets saved into the M-Discs that has step by step instructions, as they might need to be followed by someone not that tech adept. (Like my In-Laws in case both my wife and I perish.), have notes in my password DB (Vaultwarden, which has a digital heritage/emergency access function and is also exported), in the vault, and a note in my will notifying people about this.

    Edit: And: Test your recovery. Almost every data loss I have witnessed in the last years was a recovery problem. Missing encryption keys, data structure issues, etc. I have seen them all. Personally I try to recover a random file (as in: A script tells me which one) twice a year from every method and try a full recovery of each method at least once six month after introduction. Thst being said: It's nice to have encrypted backups,but that doesn't help if you can't find the keys/the software does no longer exist,etc. Currently a LOT of my clients have the same problem: They use Tandberg RDX for backup, including WORM. Now, Tandberg has gone bust and it's not that unlikely that yhey won't be able get another RDX drive in 5 or 10 years. Or 20. Which is the legal requirement for some official files here. Well,fuck. They needed to get additional drives asap when the bankruptcy became official.

    Friends have used ancient LTOs and now face the same issues - LTOs are not downwards compatible. (That's why I use "common" technology. It's extremely likely that I will be able to find a spare BD drive in 20 years,etc.)

  • Removed

    UPS recommendation?

    Jump

  • Cyberpower OR600ERM1U or similar are nice - or the OL1000ERTXL2U if you want a online usv.

    Not that the Eatons are bad,they are a little bit nicer in a few things, but often also more expensive.

  • US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router

    Jump

  • Yeah,does not reflect the actual situation.

    Currently especially their SDN capable stuff (Omada) is far better than e.g. the Ubiquiti stuff - we are relatively surprised by the build quality for the bucks you pay,tbh. (And unlike Ubiquiti they can be run stand alone and SDN).

    Not defending their China-issues btw, we absolutely recommend to all our clients that they put a OPNsense in front of it. But it does it job and has it's place in small businesses. (And tbh,their Wifi gear is good enough that I have seen it in fairly large deployments)

    Sadly there's not too much alternative for that sector atm.

  • US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router

    Jump

  • Yeah, especially router wise I tend not to recommend them as well, but we widely use OPNsense as FWs now. Switching wise they are good and tbh, their track record got much better. (And everyone elses got worse, looking at you,Forti)

    We tend to recommend Omada for smaller clients that would otherwise use ubiquiti (their track record is...far worse) and simply put a OPNsense in front of it. These are small healthcare establishments - the alternative is often far worse (cousin John doing the network or some antique Zyxel the local IT shithead service sold them as new) and with the OPN we can do due dilligence IT security wise.

    Jump

  • Considering they recently also complained about Mikrotik I would,well, not give to much merit on that shit.

  • US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router

    Jump

  • Bullshit.

    It depends on what you buy from them and always has been. Their Omada line is on par with Ubiquiti, some other gear is similar to other commercial grade gear.

    If you buy their cheap shit, yeah,it's cheap. But they,as most manufacturers, have a broad spectrum..

  • I had a password retrieval this week that asked me to enter my old password to set a new password.

    And now this.

    Oh well. We are all doomed.

  • Affinity Studio is now free

    Jump

  • Sadly Affinity Studio isn't one of them - it runs barely, if at all in emulators and believe me we tried. Especially for larger files it's still unusable.

  • At this point I need a shrine saying "hail to the GDPR" soon.

  • How to keep track of system temps and hardware health indicators via dashboard with a proxmox installation?

    Jump

  • Tbh, I have given up on Proxmox Helper Scripts for more demanding things recently as I had similar issues.

    You can use the fully packed VM appliance or iso as well. Or Docker.

    Or,tbh,try the manual install,it's somewhat straight forward. If you need help let me know.

    Jump

  • Another option: Zabbix.

    Sounds like overkill initially, but works fine and can be automated fairly well. Once installed (as a LXC/VM or on a seperats device if you want independent monitoring), you can setup a API acess for monitoring Proxmox (which will monitor all LXCs,etc. automatically) and then add the agent on top to monitor the underlying machine. There are dozens of ways to monitor Zabbix hosts temps, HDDs,etc. available online.

    In theory you could also let a zabbixproxy collect all your hosts data (e.g. your Proxmox Host, your switch,etc.) in your network and then send it to a VPS outside your network so you monitor offsite and can be alerted when not at home.
