  • LE only certify your domain name, you may want to put more (like company name) to cert and it is where classic certs providers come to help.

  • ZFS ZIL will not help in this case.

  • Usually it can be solved by talking to hotel stuff. you are paying for that service and can expect it be suitable for any legal use.

  • AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose'

    Jump

  • Nope. You do not need physical access for it, just root access. and you HW is compromised with only means to recover it is SPI flashing of CPU.

  • 3600 was released in 2019. And it they was making it for at least 2 years.

  • You need to be a root to exploit it, but if it get exploited any way to get rid of it is to throw MB to trash.

  • Suggestion for buying drive

    Jump

  • Why use SSD OS (unless he is using windows ). System can do to USB stick and rest od data to disk, and SSD may be a good option.

  • Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording

    Jump

  • Does not really matter what wording they will put in. It is clear that project will go to pay or get nothing way. So just start working on decommissioning it. Free software really need better ways to pay developers, that will allow to avoid crap like that.

  • Server build for Family

  • I would add LVM to the list of software raids, and remove btrfs as poorly engineered.

  • couple of old 2.5 HDD + usb to SATA converter. But Pi5 is hardly suitable to host anything. May just get old PC (which gives you HDD too). There are plenty for < $100 or even free. But you are going to pay more for power.

  • Using disc spanning for RAID array

    Jump

  • I do not see why it will cause any problems with exception of stacking mapping layer. I wonder can LVM do it natively without adding intermediate block device of 2 x 2G?

  • Networking Gear Recommendations? (starting from scratch)

    Jump

  • Stay with TP-Link. Ubiquity done some strange things recently.

  • Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

    Jump

  • Many sells, some just wipe them, some just contains encrypted data. If you happy with just used drive eBay is full of surprises.

  • VLAN question

    Jump

  • Some diagram would help. Are you trying to use your server as a switch?

  • Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

    Jump

  • Why create yourself a headache and still get substandard and no-warranty drive. If you want cheaper drives go for reconditioned/refurbished/used drives. Same risks, better product. Old enterprise SAS drives are cheap and many still have plenty of heath in them.

  • Transparent compression layer on Linux?

    Jump

  • Do you plan to compress video ( which generally already compressed format) when saving to remote location? I do not see use case for it, as you ether use lossless compression and not compressing it in any meaningful way, or just re-encode to different format and loose quality. Second option is simpler to achieve by re-encoding before sending out.

  • How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

    Jump

  • Yes, it will. Will it make any difference for you, depends of what are you doing. I would not use surveillance drive in to server, they are way too specific. Outside of that prices is pretty much same per TB/(Warranty Year) accross the board.

    I done some excessive research couple of years back on the topic. you can find it here https://blog.holms.place/2022/05/01/hdd-storage-cost-comparation-may-2022.html. I do not think situation have changed match since than. Price per TB/Year is nearly constant past 8GB size.

    Also consider looking to re-certified drives, or even refurbished drives. you may save hips on them. But it depends on how much you value your data, how much redundancy in you storage pool and how good your backup strategy.

  • Syncthing ... where are the users?

    Jump

  • Syncthing sync files, it is all does.

  • Is ansible worth learning to automate setting up servers?

    Jump

  • Look to other orchestrations solution too, like SALT. If you need to manage a lot of servers it is live saver. Setting up is only first step.
