  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

    Jump

  • I'm far from an expert sorry, but my experience is so far so good (literally wizard configured in proxmox set and forget) even during a single disk lost. Performance for vm disks was great.

    I can't see why regular file would be any different.

    I have 3 disks, one on each host, with ceph handling 2 copies (tolerant to 1 disk loss) distributed across them. That's practically what I think you're after.

    I'm not sure about seeing the file system while all the hosts are all offline, but if you've got any one system with a valid copy online you should be able to see. I do. But my emphasis is generally get the host back online.

    I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do but a mix of ceph as storage remote plus something like syncthing on a endpoint to send stuff to it might work? Syncthing might just work without ceph.

    I also run zfs on an 8 disk nas that's my primary storage with shares for my docker to send stuff, and media server to get it off. That's just truenas scale. That way it handles data similarly. Zfs is also very good, but until scale came out, it wasn't really possible to have the "add a compute node to expand your storage pool" which is how I want my vm hosts. Zfs scale looks way harder than ceph.

    Not sure if any of that is helpful for your case but I recommend trying something if you've got spare hardware, and see how it goes on dummy data, then blow it away try something else. See how it acts when you take a machine offline. When you know what you want, do a final blow away and implement it with the way you learned to do it best.

  • 3x Intel NUC 6th gen i5 (2 cores) 32gb RAM. Proxmox cluster with ceph.

    I just ignored the limitation and tried with a single sodim of 32gb once (out of a laptop) and it worked fine, but just backed to 2x16gb dimms since the limit was still 2core of CPU. Lol.

    Running that cluster 7 or so years now since I bought them new.

    I suggest only running off shit tier since three nodes gives redundancy and enough performance. I've run entire proof of concepts for clients off them. Dual domain controllers and FC Rd gateway broker session hosts fxlogic etc. Back when Ms only just bought that tech. Meanwhile my home "ARR" just plugs on in docker containers. Even my opnsense router is virtual running on them. Just get a proper managed switch and take in the internet onto a vlan into the guest vm on a separate virtual NIC.

    Point is, it's still capable today.

  • I'm in Australia, generally, we have cooking instructions and microwaves that talk about wattage and time. Never duty cycle.

    Eg a sauce packet says 600w 30sec. Press power button until 600w and put it in 30 seconds.

    I know there's duty cycles, you can hear them. I don't know if that's how it's converted as a fraction of the 1500 watt maximum (40% duty cycle = 600w) but you hear it turn on and off most on the defrosting preconfigured buttons.

    Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if it's all just the same underneath with regional translations.

  • New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games

  • I like people doing challenge runs and speed runs, and occasionally letsgameitout who spends 1000 hours committing to the bit that I might have considered as a passing funny joke. I'd rather watch that then some evening ad riddled free to air.

    I'm well over 30, not far from 40. Hobbies can be entertaining like watching someone else race a car. I ain't gonna be able to do that. But I appreciate those who can.

  • New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games

  • I watch games about the game in gaming, but I also watch games about my game when I'm not gaming. Therefore by definition my gaming will be less than my watching gaming.

  • Balatro has made almost $4.4m from its mobile release alone

  • Hey I don't know your technical capability, but Steve Gibson pointed out the lowest knowledge way to get an isolated network just by buying two more cheap NAT routers. Your current router stays routing internet, but in LAN1 you plug in one of the new routers, let's call it your home network, and LAN2 of your internet router plug in the other router and call it insecure. Plug in your WiFi access points into home and your devices. Plug in work laptop and other IoT to insecure. Home won't be able to talk to insecure, and insecure can't talk to home. This is all because of NAT. Just make sure the home network range is a different range to the insecure.

    Otherwise it's just a vlan on router and switches and access points with no firewall rules that allow INSECURE to HOME.

    You might already know all this in which case never mind!

  • By your definition I should be called a footballer because I play football once a week casually. Ignore the 50 plus hour weeks of my actual job. I got $50 from football as season champions (it's a gift card, for the bar, at the place I play). I better go update my linkedin!

  • This sounds unbelievable, like the turning of a ship to avoid an iceberg. It's an unbelievably light sentencing, showcasing the country's lack of interest in protecting women's rights while declaring the intent to do so in the ruling.

    If my partner was attacked, lost her hearing and had to attend court multiple times to defend her rights to safety, and the perpetrator got 3 years? I'd be furious.

    I know she'd be devastated. The times she felt unsafe already leave such a big impact, let alone a realised attack.

    Anyway. I do hope it's just a positive sign, that all it will take is a bit more time. I want to believe it's positive. But it's wild to compare what I'd like to believe as obvious human rights; to not be attacked to the point of disability from an unprovoked human, then believe in the justice system in arrears to punish and (theoretically) prevent.

    Anyway, long rant. Processing it because I probably believed Korea was better than that. Not all the humans, just at least the culture and law.

  • It's solving a real problem in a niche case. Someone called it gimmicky, but it's actually just a good tool currently produced by an unknown quantity. Hopefully it'll be sorted or someone else takes up the reigns and creates an alternative that works perfectly for all my different isos.

    For the average home punter maybe even up to home lab enthusiast, probably not saving much time. For me it's on my keyring and I use it to reload proxmox hosts, Nutanix hosts, individual Ubuntu vms running ROS Noetic and not to mention reimaging for test devices. Probably a thrice weekly thing.

    So yeah, cumulatively it's saving me a lot of time and just in trivialising a process.

    If this was a spanner I'd just go Sidchrome or kingchrome instead of my Stanley. But it's a bit niche so I don't know what else allows for such simple multi iso boot. Always open to options.

  • Don't waste time on pandering to proof of ability when actions speak louder than words. The release of your research is personally something I'm looking forward to regardless of your history or experience. I will interpret your research and evaluation with my own bias and sceptical stance. I'd rather question you afterwards if your article left questions unanswered or unclear.

    Jumping the gun now and questioning you before we start just wastes both our time.

    Good luck with your research!

  • I think you probably don't realise you hate standards and certifications. No IT person wants yet another system generating more calls and complexity. but here is iso, or a cyber insurance policy, or NIST, or acsc asking minimums with checklists and a cyber review answering them with controls.

    Crazy that there's so little understanding about why it's there, that you just think it's the "IT guy" wanting those.
