Apple really doesn't protect your privacy any better than anyone else, tbh. Have you read how draconian their ToS and EULA are?

Im working on a web server (its in a datacenter), but wondering if i should virtualize the hosting os or run bare metal

clever mortar
#

Docker

subtle pasture
#

I usually vote virtualization or containerization for web servers

clever mortar
#

If you can Docker it, Docker it. And use orchestration to manage it

dusky plank
#

Windows Server 2019

subtle pasture
#

Server 2019 supports both Windows and Linux containers ๐Ÿ˜›

clear ferry
#

๐Ÿคข

clever mortar
#

Yeah, but ... Windows and ... Server in the same paragraph...

subtle pasture
#

99% of the servers my company monitors are Windows Server. Linux isn't actually that common in the SMB space...

clever mortar
#

(I know it's come a long way, I'm tainted by the early versions)

late gate
#

I just feel i could control it more as vm and licenses are half the price

subtle pasture
#

If you were curious how many Linux servers the average Sutter hospital runs, it's zero...

#

clear ferry
#

Eh, I would say 30-40% of all VMs I encounter are windows, and probably 40% of bare metal

dusky plank
#

Updates will be installed tonight... If you like it or not!

clear ferry
#

I exclude HPC from those numbers

subtle pasture
#

@dusky plank That's not actually how the server versions work, you know >.>

clear ferry
#

Then it would be screwed

dusky plank
#

I can't hear you over my swag :/

late gate
#

Would you suggest vm even if its just one cpanel host?

clear ferry
#

Bare metal is horrible to maintain, backup and restore

subtle pasture
#

The advantage of virtualization here is that you can easily back up, restore, snapshot, etc. the VM

late gate
#

Thats what im thinking

subtle pasture
#

Any attack on the web server is fairly unlikely to hit the host, so the entire host OS probably won't become inaccessible in the event that the webserver gets popped

late gate
#

Is it possible to migrate without reinstall?

clear ferry
#

P2V ?

#

Yes

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, and once it's a container/VM, it becomes very portable

late gate
#

Whats best practise?

clear ferry
#

Depends on your platform

late gate
#

Its redhat 8 / cloudlinux now

clear ferry
#

To what virtualization platform?

dusky plank
#

qemu

late gate
#

Qemu i guess yes

dusky plank
#

no u don't

late gate
#

Or proxmox

dusky plank
#

kvm please

#

proxmox is kvm, but with shit UI

Does anyone here have a NUC with several VMs, one for HA, one for Plex & SAB etc? Currently have a pi4 for HA and a Lenova ThinkServer for Plex.l running server 2012

  1. Get a real server
  2. USB extension lead

And extension lead won't help. Need to have my Pi on other side of house due to BT connections too

Getting ready to write a statutory request for change of contract ๐ŸŽ‰ Just going to wait until after my next performance review to submit it so they don't screw me over with my rating ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I already know that if I ask nicely, they'll say no. Time for hardball.

#

I love the legislation for it... they can only reject for these reasons:

the burden of additional costs
an inability to reorganise work amongst existing staff
an inability to recruit additional staff
a detrimental impact on quality
a detrimental impact on performance
a detrimental effect on ability to meet customer demand
insufficient work for the periods the employee proposes to work
a planned structural change to your business

The only 2 that could ever be in question would be quality or performance... and I always hit our top performance ratings ๐Ÿ˜‚

I didn't realise the Queen is in favour of WFH too. I'm too young to watch the Queen's Speech, so I didn't know she was planning to put forward a bill making flexible working the default right for all workers that want it.

clever mortar
#

It shouldn't be rocket science... if your role doesn't require you to be physically at a given location, you should be able to work flexibly

Now, I wouldn't want to be WFH 100% of the time, but having the choice, that's key

deft pewter

Shouldn't be

Well, yes, we all know how micro managers are though

I've seen plenty of articles about firms that have gone from WFH is fine to 100% in the office is the only future

#

Thankfully my lot are smarter than that

deft pewter

I can definitely see a trend toward more businesses being more flexible. There aren't many big firms pushing the 100% office-based agenda.

glacial knot

I'm still a bit scared about how we'll handle that in the future

but I can probably just bash my head against my boss's and get the flexibility I need ๐Ÿ˜„

deft pewter

Scared?

Because I know that there's some voices (in relevant positions) that want to get back into the office primarily

deft pewter

So let them.

we'll keep options to work from home, otherwise I'll probably just get another employer that has the option^^, but how much is the question
And how much effort it'll be to use it

deft pewter

Some go in... some don't... some do a mix. No problem.

clever mortar
#

Here I expect that folks will be in the office on average 50% of the time - but that's going to be a spread of folks who're in all the time, folks who're in some of the time, and folks who go in once a month or less ๐Ÿ˜„

deft pewter
#

Exactly. True flexibility. The way my place are talking, they'll be setting a target and applying it to everyone.

#

I'd be happy if they said 50% on average. Someone else can make up my hours if they prefer to be there.

clever mortar

Sadly they don't realise people will just find a better working environment elsewhere

deft pewter

I keep hearing 60% per person... and with the new office location, that means 6 hours a week of sitting in traffic.

dusky plank
#

there's practically no difference when it comes to a physical adapter and mac in the net with a vm

subtle pasture
#

Heck, even Raspberry Pi's can spoof whatever MAC address you want, on both ethernet and WiFi

bitter pawn
#

ive just never been in a position where i needed to, tbh

subtle pasture
#

It's a fun thing to do if you need to bump another client off a network, lol

bitter pawn
#

๐Ÿ˜‰ yeah fun can be had.

#

or if you want to kill the network

subtle pasture
#

If your switches have loopback protection enabled, and the same MAC shows up on two ports, the switch will often kill one of the two ports

#

So you have a 50/50 shot of locking yourself out, or your target out

bitter pawn
#

so one thing,

#

ive enabled loopback protection on zyxel L2/L3 switches

#

and it never works.

subtle pasture
#

loopback protection, or spanning tree?

bitter pawn
#

every damn time the network goes down when the wrong cable is plugged into the wrong place

subtle pasture
#

They both can actually detect and stop network loops, but they're massively different

bitter pawn
#

loopback protection

#

lets just say my on site technicians are not the brightest crayons in the box

#

not a yellow, but more like a forrest green? navy blue?

subtle pasture
#

lol

#

I've had spanning tree fail if the loop is more than 1 switch deep

#

Like, if you connect a switch, to a switch, to a switch, in a chain... then connect switch 1 to 3

bitter pawn
#

ive literally seen no difference with loopback protection turned on/off

subtle pasture
#

It'll just blow up the ARP tables and crash, even with Spanning Tree enabled

bitter pawn
#

but i know people be saying zyxel is trash

#

but see thats where im confused

#

the zyxel tech rep was like "we've designed it so you can chain 9 or so deep and then reconnect switch 1 with switch 10 and it will not give loopback issues with loopback protection enabled. this way if switch xyz goes offline, you can interconnect and keep the network up"

#

sounds great in theory

#

never works in practice

subtle pasture
#

Yeah, spanning tree should support that configuration automagically

bitter pawn
#

kk so it is a feature most switches can do and do well

#

its just zyxel sucks

#

ill say this much tho, their poe reliability is top notch.

subtle pasture
#

I mean, the real question here is what form of loopback detection are they doing?

#

STP, RSTP, LBD, other?

#

And you can use more than one of those simultaneously

bitter pawn
#

iirc its just a tickbox

#

so for the details, idk

subtle pasture
#

If they follow the Cisco / HP definition, then "Loopback detection" isn't Spanning Tree (STP/RSTP), and serves a bit of a different function

#

Loopback detection is handy for, say, wall ports that are end-user facing, where you might wind up with a dumb, unmanaged switch on a conference room table, that accidentally gets plugged into itself. Loopback detection will shut down that entire wall port, even if the devices causing the loop don't support STP

bitter pawn
#

hmm now you getting me all curious

#

why you gotta go and get me curious? lolz

subtle pasture
#

Looks like they make the same distinction, at least

bitter pawn
#

/startrant god damn you tripplite and your double edged tape /endrant

subtle pasture
#

Spanning tree works by mapping the entire network, and them programatically determining the best ports to disable to prevent loops. It takes link speed and number of hops into account while doing this calculation.

#

But if you have a switch in the mix that's configured to DROP spanning tree packets, loops can go undetected

bitter pawn
#

we have a mixture of old and new zyxel.

subtle pasture
#

Which is why they say it doesn't offer you much protection at the edge of your network, because who knows what devices end-users are plugging in

bitter pawn
#

most of them are these zyxel gs2210-24hp

#

but the backbone switch and other fiber distribution point switches are a bit older generation due to the cost.

Do any of you have any opinions on IaC source control branching methods/release patterns

forest edge
hushed basalt
#

I was thinking 2+ repositories. One repository is the manifest of the actual infrastructure you want, declarative with a single main branch with ideally a 1:1 representation of what's actually deployed

#

And other repositories contain modules which you use to build infrastructure in the main repository. And these modules are released as immutable versioned artifacts

#

So you can say have v1 of a module in production, and v2 in staging environments. Then when you're ready to bump production up you define it with v2

Windows Home Server was Microsoft's first (released) stab at disk pooling

Windows Home Server (code-named Quattro, Q, and Vail) is a home server operating system from Microsoft. It was announced on 7 January 2007 at the Consumer Electronics Show by Bill Gates, released to manufacturing on 16 July 2007 and officially released on 4 November 2007.Windows Home Server was based on Windows Server 2003 R2 and was intended to...

ME is the one version of Windows 9x that can still (just barely) hop onto a modern Windows network

Because it actually supports SMB 1.0

I think the real issue with ME is that is launched with a pre-release version of Internet Explorer bundled on the disk, and the shell used web integration... which called pre-release IE libraries constantly

You actually see the same behavior on Windows 98 SE with the same pre-release version of IE installed

Thankfully that exercise predates me, though I have had to retype code into a classic computer before, because there was no other way to get the program into the computer (couldn't write the required floppy format from a modern machine)

#

The program I retyped by hand was a barebones terminal emulator, written in Amiga Basic, so that I could transfer a fully featured terminal-emulator over serial to the system

#

Which then made it possible to send files back and forth from a modern machine easily, over a serial cable

Basic was the only language I learned

then I and IT went out separate ways

analytics data is interesting. like how uncommon integrations are after about the top 5.

lilac ether
#

this might be a basic question, but I just added an integration that discovered a new device and that device generates like 10 different sensors, all of the form sensor.<UUID>_thingy. Is there a way to assign a name to the device so all its sensors derive its name from it?

fading hedge

I would think on the device end that would be accomplished but thatโ€™s more on a topic than off a topic.

yes .... HA is fine, no problem. and safari through nginx is fine too. but safari through relayd as a reverse proxy works in other browsers but not safari.

brisk glen

relayd?

molten osprey

@dusky plank The web console in Safari did moan about something websocket related not happening.

brisk glen

i guess its doing something not exactly standard and safari is not happy

Yeah, I found that post too just now. After the dev console search.

brisk glen

im seeing a lot of websocket issues with this software...

@brisk glen Normally, I'm all on the side of Safari being the most standards-compliant. I'm not convinced that is the case here. Could be, just not convinced.

why not nginx?
