I wondered why channel 1 was so flooded and the kindergarden next door installed...
That seems excessive, unless they're doing per-room meshing
In which case, ideally, you wouldn't be able to see that many APs from next-door because their transmit power would be super low
late gate
the kindergarden is 20m from the house

why would they need 13 ap points?
subtle pasture
Some mesh wifi systems deploy one AP per room. You see them in a lot of schools, hospitals, and hotels.
However, if you crank the transmit power on all of them, they just interfere with one another... it has to be tuned
It almost looks like they installed a mesh and maxed the transmit power >_>

@cedar chasm Same. The CODE 104 is actually a special edition of keyboard from WASD, so any WASD parts will fit on it.
I liked the design and lack of need for any additional management software. It actually has a set of DIP switches on the back to set up the keyboard

One of the funniest cases I ever troubleshot was a case where video streams never got written to disk, or the files were corrupted
Turns out windows was caching 10 IP cameras to ram, before flushing them to disk, but since the cache battery was defective the write performance was shite

But... It couldn't flush it fast enough to disk
So it just dropped all the streams

I wrote some vsphere automation software at a gig I was at a while ago
you could pick what type of stuff you wanted on a box and it would spin up a VM on demand, PXE install it, then throw Saltstack stuff at it to configure whatever you had chosen earlier
lapis cipher
Nice. My approach was foreman+puppet, the role was configured and then it created a pxe-config for the vm to be provisioned and rest handles puppet once the vm is booted up
On another project a bit similar approach for fully automated openstack deployments. It used vmware for non-compute nodes and hw for computes, it installed all the pieces required for the cloud (and its plenty) and of course configured as well. The manual part on the deployment was the need to define the mac addresses for the hw boxes, possibly that could have been somehow automated as well (like, recognize vendor-prefix for mac and make assumptions based on that)

That sounds miserable... how'd they even get that setup up in the first place? (And why?)

ESXi doesn't really intend for you to use local storage, and has no built-in software RAID of its own
So you usually deploy it with a hardware RAID controller, or network-attached storage (like a SAN)

Never mind that keeping ZFS running at the speeds required for virtualization workloads took up about half of the host's resources

ZFS could work fine in that context if optimized, often people just leave default blocksizes and don't tune for workflows
subtle pasture
My reverse proxy for ESXi/vCenter runs in a VM as well, but all it's doing for those is SSL offloading for LetsEncrypt
So I can still hop on my management VLAN and access vCenter by IP address
I'll just get a SSL warning, because there's no reverse proxy to slap my LetsEncrypt cert on it
rare condor
I have a werid setup, all my instances are SSL encrypted but non have internet access and the proxy is just a stream passthrough
It's like that due to legacy decisions from 5 years ago
subtle pasture
I mean, you can always define an additional management IP/interface, and put a better solution on that
rare condor
I'm lazy though 😉
subtle pasture
That's the lazy way to fix it 😛
Because it's really going to suck if that VM fails to become available for any reason...
rare condor
I might just put everything on the default vlan and remove all passwords for increased lazy access.
subtle pasture
Reminds me of the old Hyper-V problem where you couldn't virtualize your last domain controller, because otherwise your cluster couldn't come up
They fixed that pretty early on, though
What we usually do for clients with flat networks is create a new VLAN for workstations (potentially one per department), move a few ports into the new VLAN, and the test to see what routes and ACLs are required for them to operate
Because having SalesBro on the same VLAN/subnet as the servers is... not a great setup

Have a similar fault on an old alarm. School disarms at 4am and there is a fault that comes at the same time. Low voltage on data bus
It shouldn't, but I really need to sit inside and measure it as it disarms

school disarms sounds dangerous for the kids
last cedar
I think it is a false message and the board is slightly over loaded
But can't be sure without measuring current output as it disarms
Disarming is much better for the kids than arming 🤣
Problem is, system was built well over 10 years ago, and not by us. Documentation is sparse and the site is huge, I think there are around 15 of these psus dotted around. So not easy to follow cable routes etc

Looking to upgrade to a Raspberry Pi 4 as my fileserver ... wondering what the benefits are for getting 8GB vs the 4GB model. Anybody have thoughts on this?

More memory
dusky plank
with a lot of fiddling you might be able to make a ramdisk as initial transfer cache, but that might be it
clear ferry
Also 8gb 🤏
hushed basalt
Just get a second hand SFF desktop
last cedar
Also 8gb 🤏
Not everyone has 27TB RAM in their toilet computer
Says me with 16GB in my router
molten osprey
i think the price difference is like 20 euro
last cedar
I would absolutely spend the 20 euro if I knew I was buying it for prod
dusky plank
having the ethernet interface decoupled from usb bus is a major + so go with pi4, does not matter if 4gb or 8gb
last cedar
But it would be my 20 euro, not yours
molten osprey
i am getting the pi4 ... just not sure why more ram is a good thing for a fileserver
last cedar
So I shouldn't make the call for you
dusky plank
I never managed to fill the 4gb ram, even with >25 containers... I think without scientific use case it's just overkill
molten osprey
so one of the differences between the current use case (just a simple file server) and the experiment i wish to run ..... is to have my HA pi mount rootfs over NFS from this to-be-purchased pi
because ... why keep it simple with a local SSD, when you can complicate the shit out of your setup!
dusky plank
nfs boot is great, as long as you run container...
molten osprey
i dont follow. run the server in a container?
i had my HA SSD die (it was a shitty brand with a dubious history!) and it annoys the shit out of me that i have to keep buying 128GB SSD drives and use 8GB of that.
buddy suggested NFS approach ... and i thought "FUN!"
lapis cipher
So yes, the council has decided for you to go with the extra memory, your use case for the device might change in the future so it opens up more possibilities
molten osprey
hehe

you will run into trouble with the docker daemon at first, if you run supervised you will also run into trouble with the pulseaudio socket... so just stay with the single container solution 😉 or go venv if you dare

just a tad annoying/stupid to make that so.. a "regular" power connector would have been so much better
lapis cipher
poor choice for those pi's either imho, world is full of people with power issues with those. Ok, its just a connector and the psu is wrong but.. I have ton of powering options here but just about none for microusb

well to be fair, your talking about a device that was made to be dirt cheap, they would sell it for lower than the original $35 if they could
lapis cipher
that's a fair point, however and even more a regular 5.5mm jack would have been better, even my grandma has those powers laying around but none suitable for raspi
dusky plank
2.5a is usb a max (acc to standard)
so it might get harder to find 3A psus
you can however find ones that have 2 ports and both deliver 2.5, then those cables do wonders
lapis cipher
i just cancelled my order for 3A power since they've been "processing" my order since january :/ it also contained some useful other power-related items around these tiny/small computers
there was 1 or 2 cables missing from a large'ish order which i would have liked to have already "yesterday".. I know it takes time to ship from China but doing 1,5+ months of just "processing" was too much, heck send them in few batches then. But that's what you get when you get cheap, i know
