  • No Microslop for me

    Jump

  • Not really. My employer provides win11 too, but I do over 60% of my job on debian machines running in hyper-v. (the other 40% are administrative tasks and work restricted environments)

  • Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting

  • waterfox a better balance between firefox & LibreWolf

  • Dashboard for my servers

  • There is also remmina (linux) or mobaxterm (win).

  • this is the main pointer

    On every device (but the central syslogserver or you create a loop that fills the drive in mere seconds)

    /etc/rsyslog.d/99-centralsyslog.conf 

     
        
$PreserveFQDN on
*.*  @192.168.1.66

    then on the central syslog server 192.168.1.66

    /etc/rsyslog.d/01-syslog_receiver.conf

     
        
# provides UDP syslog reception
module(load="imudp")
input(type="imudp" port="514")

# provides TCP syslog reception
module(load="imtcp")
input(type="imtcp" port="514")

    and also

    /etc/rsyslog.d/20-save2postgresql.conf

     
        
# Load the PostgreSQL output module
module(load="ompgsql")

# Template for inserting logs
template(name="pgsql-template" option.sql="on" type="string" string="INSERT INTO system_events (hostname, facility, priority, tag, message) VALUES ('%HOSTNAME%', %syslogfacility%, %syslogpriority%, '%syslogtag%', '%msg%' )")

    Make sure you install postgres, the rsyslog-psql module and create the database and tables.

    Grafana can run on the same or any other server.

  • Suggestions for log aggregation for proxmox containers

  • I use syslog on everything that can send it. All forward to a centralized rsyslog which stores directly into postgres. Grafana nativly can read from that. Super lightweight, super flexible. (I use 1 cpu and 2G mem and it works better than graylog which needed 4 cpu's and 16 G ram)

  • What is the point of Linux updates?

    Jump

  • That's what release-notes are for. Usualy bugfixes and new functions/features/hw-support.

    It's a free choice to follow them or not. If you don't need the new features. If the bugs don't hit/bother you ............

  • YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable

    Jump

  • You guys get ads ?

    you guys go to YT ? I wonder how and why it's still out there. They make it so obvious they don't want people to watch video's there

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • Every now and then I try something else (usually live usb from ventoy) just to see how others evolve. I like endevour, but I always en up with debian minimal install. Only on mylaptop I add xfce4. It's just rock solid. For my wife's laptop it's elementary, only because of the looks just to make her move from windows to linux painlessly

  • Fox News uses old clip of Trump after he wore hat while saluting slain US soldiers

    Jump

  • The real question is, did he show up? Last time he had more urgent matters than honoring fallen soldiers (aka playing golf)

  • I'm using my home server and coding to rebuild my brain after a stroke.

    Jump

  • Been there done that. It's much harder than it seems from this post. Your brain suffered severe damage, getting it to work again as good as possible takes huge amounts of energy and will power. Good job bro! (Watch yourself, don't over do it)

  • US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry

    Jump

  • And what if you say I don't have 'social' media, and you really don't haven any. Then what? I doubt the believe you.

  • US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry

  • you can't even pay me to go there

  • Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • Well...yes and no. If I recall well, little over 60% voted. Slightly more than half for trump. So a bit over 30% of the american voters voted for this shit. Those 40% that not voted.... They could have made a difference but did not bother

  • Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • True. Side effect is probably that the usa sinks faster with each good person leaving. Still it's hard to blame them for leaving.

  • 'Totally Illegal,' Says Senate Dem as Trump Pledges $10 Billion in US Funds for His Board of Peace

    Jump

  • trump & illegal in one sentence .... i'm shocked ! /s

  • Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

    Jump

  • No idea. Built-in in the Imm firmware. Just partial screenshot from imm web gui

  • Am I doing this (networking) safely?

    Jump

  • Fail2ban does not listen on any port for it has no user interface. No interface at all actually. It's just a process that monitors your logfiles and changes firewall rules and writes to syslog if you tell it to.

    I run it on internet facing servers so I use a 'regular' install and never docker. I see no advantage for docker in this case, but one huge disadvantage: Docker changes a lot on the network side. It creates bridges, and picks IP's all by itself. I hate that. (I know you can put in a lot of effort to manage it, but no thanks keep your 'hands' of my network config thank you)

  • Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

    Jump

  • I fired it up for you ...... Powered down 12 Watt which is just the PSU and the IMM (I had one power supply connected) Then when powered up 100 Watt

    The IMM info, one PSU with 230 Volt feed:

    Bear in mind I had no VM's running....

  • Thoughts about my (potential) first server?

    Jump

  • I have an x3500m4 but found it using way too much energy for my requirements. A regular pc does the job for less than 25% of the electricity.

    So, i'd say check your needs and the footprint. Electricity bill comes every month and something runnin 24/7 adds up real quick.
