Reading? What's that?
Im working on a web server (its in a datacenter), but wondering if i should virtualize the hosting os or run bare metal
Docker
I usually vote virtualization or containerization for web servers
If you can Docker it, Docker it. And use orchestration to manage it
Windows Server 2019
Server 2019 supports both Windows and Linux containers ๐
๐คข
Yeah, but ... Windows and ... Server in the same paragraph...
99% of the servers my company monitors are Windows Server. Linux isn't actually that common in the SMB space...
(I know it's come a long way, I'm tainted by the early versions)
I just feel i could control it more as vm and licenses are half the price
If you were curious how many Linux servers the average Sutter hospital runs, it's zero...
.>
Eh, I would say 30-40% of all VMs I encounter are windows, and probably 40% of bare metal
Updates will be installed tonight... If you like it or not!
I exclude HPC from those numbers
@dusky plank That's not actually how the server versions work, you know >.>
Then it would be screwed
I can't hear you over my swag :/
Would you suggest vm even if its just one cpanel host?
Bare metal is horrible to maintain, backup and restore
The advantage of virtualization here is that you can easily back up, restore, snapshot, etc. the VM
Thats what im thinking
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
Is it possible to migrate without reinstall?
Yeah, and once it's a container/VM, it becomes very portable
Whats best practise?
Depends on your platform
Its redhat 8 / cloudlinux now
To what virtualization platform?
qemu
Qemu i guess yes
no u don't
Or proxmox
Vs no ui
Then virt-p2v and none of that proxmox nonsense
I might do that
Then i can easily snapshot etc
If this fails im coming after you atx

anyone had an issue where in ubuntu u cant connect to ur main wifi but can to phone hotspot?
i just installed it on a mac and have no idea why such weird anomaly would happen
Did you set a static IP?
lolz
That thing is never ever coming near my household
lol
welcome to the future
Thatโll be $10, and for the love of god please put on some clothes
lol i remember when the ps4 came out and had that camera and app that allowed people to stream themselves while they played. the sheer amount of porn and just people butt ass naked on the feeds was insane. they even had to bring the app down a few times cause it was so bad

Hey, we just got a new reason to learn about how the internet works in Germany...
https://cuii.info/ueber-uns/ and those idiots donโt even have an English about page it seems. Great, letโs ignore net neutrality and open internet access. And make sure people canโt even shit talk internationally
My coral doing its best
I found a thing. Look! Look!
isn't coral also suposed to describe what it sees?
so I take it that this bird is a special breed of "Eirikzhass"
Yes
Well, that is just the last image processed from frigate
I would probably need to tell it to send me the ID picture, instead
I looked at the different categories in frigate that I have asked it to look for
I selected "Cell phone"
and it showed me a video of my asscrack picking something up from the front porch

sure it didn't label that as "Mountains"?
My favourite tidbit from that link is the regulator for the interwebz in Germany, Bundesnetzagentur fรผr Elektrizitรคt, Gas, Telekommunikation, Post undย Eisenbahnen . They're in charge of the electric grid, gas, telecommunication and the railways.
Must have just kept accumulating responsibilities since the 1800s
Oh, and postal services
Mustn't forget
well, the Telekom we all know and love is the bastard child of our post office and privitization (and a large part of why internet sucks in Germany)
And yea, BNA is mostly everything infrastructure
They must have lots of interest in prioritising the needs of the citizenry over industry lobbyists
BNA and BSI do seem to be OK. Sometimes a bit weird, but not nefarious
That's a relief then
Then again, I need to check if the recent stupidity passed
Since that made the BSI a bit more difficult
Bought some more 8TB shuckables
Then I'll have 6 x 8TB in a RAIDZ2 config. All I'd ever need for the foreseeable future
..three months later..
Haha
To be fair I've been running on ~8TB of usable for 6 years now
And I don't download 4K since the upscaling on my tv is so good
And I prune stuff I don't need anymore
Just build a ceph fs node at home (for learinig, and why not use it then anyway)
already 4x 12TB deliverd. still waiting for the other 2 drives EC4+2
Where did you purchase them?
Nice. Might have a look
I need to expand my pools soon

is an intel nuc8i5bek with 16gb ram reasonably priced at 275 euros?
2nd hand but only used for 2 months
so still 2 years warranty
it is โฌ345 new here atleast
so pretty reasonable then i guess
true, but when we leave that out of the discussion
๐
they cost here already 290 for the nuc alone
as they arent produced anymore
I hate doing math on paper that I could have done in seconds when I was in school. And now I stare at it and just see questionmarks
electricity comes from the socket and internet from the sky, nothing to calculate ๐
oh, you have starlink?
not yet but over the air anyways (where does the "sky" start?)
i did notice yesterday when checking out that one operator has scheduled improvements to our site for next month, possibly adding capacity and 5G. Its the one i use least but those are pretty easily changed with couple of clicks
With DNS lookup we don't care about the IP if the DHCP server propegates to the DNS server ๐
I have opnsense as my dhcp, use adguard as dns for every client (dhcp option 6). how do I set this up? @clear ferry
Pretty sure Unbound by default has DHCP Registration Register DHCP leases enabled
And also DHCP Static Mappings Register DHCP static mappings

I have these set.
but my clients use adguard ๐คทโโ๏ธ I have to direct adguard to opnsense then I believe
no idea for adguard
I do pihole
and tell it to override mydomain.tld to opnsense
I should try out adguard
wooo it works!
now my HA is in two vlans and dns returns the address for the second one, figuring out how to change that to the first one
These are the stl files required to motorize my (and I guess a few similar) dobsonian telescope. I decided to use only 3D printed parts and parts that came from my old 3D printer. So if you have a spare 3D printer and a spare telescope - why not have a go? I provided STL, as well as STEP files.
Hardware
Arduino Mega or Due
RAMPS 1.4 (for the Meg...
I love it
a long time ago I had always wanted one of those camera/telescopes that had the built in digital output so you could pipe the feed to a tv and they usually had remotes so you could sit on the couch and just pan around and zoom in and such. course I knew it would eventually get used for perv type scenarios so thought best not waste the money
Raccoon in chimney. I have a raccoon in our chimney, there might be babies not sure!! Does anyone know how to get rid of them, or anyone who can get it out without costing hundreds of dollars!!
posted to nextdoor 10 mins ago. should I give them your number @last cedar ?
I am omw
Should probably be doing something more useful but since math was mentioned earlier i just found myself puzzling with multi-axle all-wheel-steering stuff..
i do absolutely nothing with this knowledge (which i don't yet even have) but.. Maybe i can build a robot or a device to haul my trees from the forest..
starting to cut down a tree from very next to the house tomorrow so would be nice to have something to move those heavy logs, maybe even split them on the same go, dry and stack and all..
sci-fi - "sai-fai"
Meh. It's an abbreviation, it's allowed to sound different to the actual words ๐
HiFi too... it's not 'fai', it's 'fi' (short for fidelity)
But 'sai-fi' and 'hai-fi' would sound ridiculous ๐
just repeating what they say on natgeo ๐
we say everything as its written, hence the rally-english ๐คฃ

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
Nucs seem pretty great, but not sure how you'd handle media storage? Also, how to get ZigBee signal to NUC as media cabinet doesn't have great signal
- Get a real server
- USB extension lead
Real server?
And extension lead won't help. Need to have my Pi on other side of house due to BT connections too
Well you're apparently worried that an NUC can't do everything because it doesn't have all the disks... get a real server than you can add extra disks to.
And #zigbee-archived for support with Zigbee.
Getting ready to write a statutory request for change of contract ๐ Just going to wait until after my next performance review to submit it so they don't screw me over with my rating ๐
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 ๐
Making sure to read up on the ACAS guidance too ๐
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.
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
Shouldn't be
Well, yes, we all know how micro managers are though
In my case, it's not even my direct manager. He trusts me to just get shit done.
Frigging middle management.
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
I can definitely see a trend toward more businesses being more flexible. There aren't many big firms pushing the 100% office-based agenda.
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 ๐
Scared?
Because I know that there's some voices (in relevant positions) that want to get back into the office primarily
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
Some go in... some don't... some do a mix. No problem.
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 ๐
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.
Sadly they don't realise people will just find a better working environment elsewhere
I keep hearing 60% per person... and with the new office location, that means 6 hours a week of sitting in traffic.
This guy's posted a good thread of his findings: https://twitter.com/chris_herd/status/1377955491981197323
I've spoken to 2,500+ companies over the last 12 months about their plans for remote work going forward
Here are a few things I've learned

And an interesting poll: https://twitter.com/chris_herd/status/1379446706736140292?s=20
Your employer demands you return to the office full-time
Their biggest competitor offers you a remote job
What do you do?
Target in-office over all is the dumbest option though
Unless you need to justify the building cost to some CFO, that just adds dumb rules to keep in mind
Over 90% of respondents say they'll leave their in-office job for a remote offer. Any business that thinks they won't lose their talent over this is retarded.
They'll be left with the scraps ๐
Time-off: To prevent burnout many will introduce 'wellness days' where they order time off without prior warning
Most companies will do 1 day every 2 months
๐คฃ
Funny you should say that. They signed a lease on a new office just before the pandemic...
They want to get 'value' out of the new building. Muppets.
Eh... that's more than we've been offered so far but I'll still take it. It's extra holiday with no loss in earnings.
I suspect that we'll not shrink much office space, but I'd not be shocked to see the interiors reworked to make them more suited to the new way
yea. We are thinking way more in terms of communication and team-building
So a grand sweeping rule would provide nothing. But it's also a very hard topic to get right and have a benefit of shared space for everyone, while keeping people happy
And not being hypocrit on the values we are supposed to reflect
Yeah, better breakout areas for meetings/gatherings would be a good thing. I just hate the cramped, open-plan layout most offices have.
cramped open? D:
We're not quite Office Space levels of boring but it's not far off. And I can't stand hearing everyone else's conversations and phone calls while I'm trying to focus on tricky code.
do you work in cubicles?
No dividers between desks but they're practically organised as pods, yes.
Can't roll your chair back too far or you'll hit the next person...
They actually showed us a sample of the furnishings for the new office a while back, complete with examples of how the desks will be set up. Single monitor, just enough elbow room that you won't be constantly hitting your neighbour when you type... perfect working conditions for a developer.
Yea, no. I'd be out of there in no time
our offices are 4 to 5 people in large-ish rooms
Everyone got 2 desks and enough space around them. So (outside missing AC) it's pretty good work environment
Our old layout wasn't awful. L-shaped desks with a cupboard and drawers for storage. New place is going to be rows of desks with no drawers ๐ค
oh, I mostly use 1 Display + my Laptop. One 38" 21:9 display ๐
Similar setup at home for me. Ultrawide and laptop. I wouldn't be getting that if I go back.
I'd put my money on 21" and no space to put my laptop alongside it...
And yea, I need better displays at home
the 25" 2560x1440 is a bit constrained ๐
34", 3440x1440 here. I could've spend more for more pixels but this is plenty for what I do.
I usually have two thirds dedicated to an IDE and the other third for Teams/email/docs/whatever.
You can never have enough pixels...
Wouldn't want much bigger or I'd actually have to turn my head ๐
Can you even see all the pixels at your age?
I can see the difference between a 4K display and an HD display on a laptop without any issue
Pisses off my opticians ๐
I'd always mock the wife about her inability to tell the difference between HD movies and older 480/720 stuff. That all changed a month ago when she had laser eye surgery... now she wants a 4K TV ๐
๐
She's even pointing out stuff I have to focus to see... might be a sign that I need my eyes done soon.
Hers were bad enough that she had to have the one where they actually open up your eye and reshape your cornea. I could probably get away with the basic laser one.
I have no depth perception, that is how bad my eyesight is, in one eye, it is like a led TV with half of the pixels off and showing 360p content
Hah. Not as scary as it sounds. The procedure only took something like 15 minutes. First day, she couldn't see much other than colours. Within a week, she was pointing out tits in the trees (she just doesn't know what they are, since she's never been able to spot them before ๐ )
Yeah, my FIL had it done, and he doesn't need glasses any more.
take care of your clothes to not have pieces of hair of another colour
Since the wife had it done, both the MIL and FIL are curious now ๐
I'm not sure they'll get as many years of use out of it but they probably need it more. Neither can drive without glasses and they even need them to read (large print...)
I think they reckon you're good for decades once you have it done, as long as you wait until your eyes have settled.
3840x1600 at work. And good quality panel
To run more Pis on?
have the same with 32", sometimes too small fonts - browser set to 110%
but I like to keep the monitor quite far away from me, have lots of tools on my desk
nah, virtual machines with a 10th of a core time, and 256MB ram. To make them suffer
๐คข
my monitor can do pip, I like that!
you monitor got python running? ๐
It's supposed to be at least arm's length away anyway, right? I always ditch the stand and put my monitors on arms to set it further away and reclaim some desk space.
setup synergy, it's perfect when I have my work pc in use
Especially with the beast of a stand this came with.
it's at least 2 arms for me
I'm confused by the emptyness and the cable mess combination
yep, I still have the protective foil on my monitor... the one around the border
sorry, we can't be friends
They are scared about intangible things they canโt measure โquality of communicationโ && โcollaboration in personโ && โwater cooler chatโ
Actually, I've found that I miss the "in person" bits - there's things that being there in person sparks. That and it's a lot easier to get a read for people in person, easier to tell when they're struggling. That's not enough to tempt me into the office 5 days a week though ๐
But it's not from China, delivery tomorrow
not from china ? does it matter? is the same device
There's a couple of juniors in my area that could definitely do with a bit of visibility ๐ Most of us can be trusted to speak up when we're struggling.
The missus works at the same place on another product. They have a guy that would've been sacked months ago for his productivity levels if the management had noticed that he's never even at his PC... ๐
Oh, and he's currently crying that he's not getting promoted ๐ค
at least he was will
told my managers that i play very well world of tanks in office...they didn't promote me ๐ฆ
is basically a new software in portfolio
I sometimes have lazy days. I never do anything I shouldn't while I'm on the clock (no games, movies, etc), just some slow days. But I always deliver everything I agreed I would, and I rarely deliver anything late. Usually, I deliver early and do extra work to help the team.
No-one can give 100% every day. They'd burn out.
I'd rather measure somebody by results, than hours on the clock
Hell, we all have slow days, and fast days. Days when you get little done, and days when you get a week of work done in a morning
Lets face it though, getting the bean counters to accept that is going to take a long time
days when you get a week of work done in a morning
These are my favourite days, especially when they happen on a Monday and set me up nicely for the week ๐
Also, lets not forget that the 8-hour workday is too damn long, and was not the original goal of the labor unions who were pushing for reasonable hours
They wanted a 4 hour workday. 8 was a compromise vs. the 12+ hour days some people were working
I'd be okay with 8-hour days if they weren't sandwiched by an unreasonable commute.
Hah. 4 hours would be awesome but I doubt we'll see that in our lifetime.
Not until the robots replace us...
The shitty part is that a lot of industries should already have a 4-hour workday, going by the increase in efficiency vs. the lack of wage increases
Yeah, I only have to drive 30 minutes (each way) to get to the office and I already find that to be too much
Especially for time that I'm not being compensated for
Yeah, except now some employers are talking about pay cuts for permanent work-from-home employees, which is just peak hypocrisy
"We don't pay for your travel time to/from the office"
"Oh, you aren't traveling to/from the office? Guess you don't need to be paid as much"
Indeed. More work due to less commuting and fewer showers
You guys work 8 hours a day? ๐คฃ
atx is here to tell us how he never showers
Also, you aren't paid for travel time? ๐คฃ
I just did 
Most people aren't paid for travel to their usual place of work ๐คทโโ๏ธ
You don't have a usual place of work... so you're paid for travel.
Why would you have 9 or 10 babies kicking your face?
I used to wake up at 12 sometimes, but that was back when I did 600h overtime per year
I mean, I don't think most people with office jobs actually work 8 hours a day, but they're present for 8 hours a day
micro-breaks are a thing. People check their phone, scroll reddit for a minute, talk with coworkers, etc.
You'd go nuts if you didn't
I guess it depends on what you do. There is no breaks at my office job. Iโm sure in a more IT job they get breaks.
We get at least two 10 minutes breaks (in addition to a lunch break, which can be no shorter than 30 minutes) as mandated by law
Sales or marketing maybe. But then again a lot of them get to work from home now
But people scrolling reddit for a minute between tasks is super common, and I'd call that a micro-break
I've had jobs where being on your phone is a sackable offence ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Not just them being dicks, more for security audits.
I'm talking to y'all because I just had a meeting run short, and my next task is another meeting, so this is just dead time in my calendar ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Breaks are mandated in most union type jobs. If you are at will you do what you like and it better be a lot or good luck in your next job
Someone a CTemplar user and got a invite code for me?
I have to pop up my phone constantly throughout the day just to enter MFA codes. lol
Yeah, that job wasn't one of those ๐
They literally can't ban us from using our phones at work
We couldn't log into anything
Given up on TOTP codes now that atx converted me to to security keys.
Yeah, we're trying out Yubikeys now, because the owners realized that California labor laws require them to pay a cellphone stipend if they require the use of a personal phone for MFA apps
To what!?
Cell Phones are not allowed in my office. Federal laws
Anyone who's made a fuss has gotten a Yubikey. lol
we have separate wifi for our phones, you can only access company stuff with company devices. NAC is ๐
$40 one-time fee, done
Yubikeys are great
Yeah, this is why Yubikey / SmartCard for MFA is a thing
It's a hardware token
They make a bunch of versions with varying security protocols and connectivity.
When you'd normally be asked for a password and TOTP, you just plug that in and touch the button.
Ah. No we canโt have phones because itโs a distraction and people can die
Ah, you control the drone strikes. Noice.
people die. it's a people thing
๐
Guns don't kill people. People just die. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Also, I think Yubico is missing a beat by not selling EM-hardened Yubikey safes
It's super common to have a second hardware token as a backup, in a safe or bank safety deposit box
We have something like that for our laptops in the field.
Having a case that protects it from an EMP seems like a good idea, especially for one that sits in storage...
When out of the office in the field our company phones provide a key for the laptops.
Yeah, same. We have everything locked down with Duo MFA
Obviously Iโm on vacation or I would not be on my phone. The plus side of 13 hour days. A weeks vacation is 12 days off

computer gods high and low, i have a question. are there motherboards out there that support spoofing mac addresses prior to the OS being loaded?
I can't get over the awesome fact that DEC would ship faulty systems, or slowed down servers to European customers if they suspected they would be reshipped to the Soviets ๐คฃ
i want to say yes. but cant find any as of right now
first HA Version:

I used to rewrite Mac addresses via floppy in the late 90s, so I'll say yes @bitter pawn
I can tell you on many radii I boards you code in the Mac
In 3com cards
even some bios allow it
in this application, needs to be in the bios.
Arduino. The channel donโt like arduinos I guess
not sure an add-on card would work
i like arduinos.
So application tied to mac address ?
pretty sure i'd run into another roadblock with attempting that.
OS is locked down tighter than a dolphin's booty
it's not if only a MAC is preventing you to penetrate
If itโs tied to Mac why stop there
im confident virtualization is not an option in this instance.
but thanks for the glimmers of hope. ill be searching for a mobo with mac-spoofing
there's practically no difference when it comes to a physical adapter and mac in the net with a vm
I feel like more support it than not, these days
Heck, even Raspberry Pi's can spoof whatever MAC address you want, on both ethernet and WiFi
ive just never been in a position where i needed to, tbh
It's a fun thing to do if you need to bump another client off a network, lol
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
so one thing,
ive enabled loopback protection on zyxel L2/L3 switches
and it never works.
loopback protection, or spanning tree?
every damn time the network goes down when the wrong cable is plugged into the wrong place
They both can actually detect and stop network loops, but they're massively different
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?
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
ive literally seen no difference with loopback protection turned on/off
It'll just blow up the ARP tables and crash, even with Spanning Tree enabled
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
Yeah, spanning tree should support that configuration automagically
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.
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
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
Looks like they make the same distinction, at least
/startrant god damn you tripplite and your double edged tape /endrant
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
we have a mixture of old and new zyxel.
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
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.
i did it. i killed the chat
@forest edge found your other ride ๐
@tidal bronze So I finally got a structured networking box
Turns out that particular wall is somehow only 2.5" thick ๐คฃ
Do any of you have any opinions on IaC source control branching methods/release patterns
way too clean for me
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
Andโฆ Iโm fully ipv6 ready, question is was it worth it?
almost certainly not
Probably :/
you'll probably feel cool and get all the chicks. I'd expect no difference in functionality at best, a less stable network at worst
I did the same and eventually got tired of it messing with connectivity of the KVM running HA, so I turned it off
Network is just as stable, running my own ipv6 dns
I did the same. It just proved less impressive in the long run
I got network level Adblock with docker container at host level networking
Now I can access that 1 ipv6 only irc server
it's possible that I was doing something wrong, but I could pass all the online tests
it just seemed to add no value, so when I started having unexplained connectivity issues when my KVM would restart, I decided it wasn't worth it
I hope your experience is better
I should look at IPv6 more again at some point
Still very few actual users
Even 21 years after I started using it
I don't care about IPv6 when my provider Altibox refuse to give anything else than ip6rd that is not supported by my system. Not real IPv6

We had that yesterday
We had that an hour ago ๐
Was given a free Wii and like 50 games for it. It had stopped reading discs, and they were going to throw all of it in the trash...
So, I spent the afternoon disassembling, cleaning, reassembling, and soft-modding it for homebrew
I am pleased to report that the disc drive still works, and rips games to USB flash drive beautifully. Lol
Oh, and it runs Doom now, of course
Priorities ๐
that facebook data leak is... pretty complete
Was it a real leak and not just publicly accessible stuff?
I don't use Facebook so I haven't looked into it
it includes phone numbers, work info, birthdates, relationship status, etc..
It's the same dataset that was gathered back in 2019 or something, just it wasn't readily available for free until now.
Nothing secret, it was all basically scraped from the public API's before they locked them down.
Everyone's making such a big fuss out of it and calling it a breach - it's literally only the information people chose to share publicly. It's their own faults.
Troy Hunt updated haveibeenpwned to allow for phone number searches given the size of this dataset and the fact that email addresses weren't as common as phone numbers. I checked for my number and it's not in there - I've had the same number (and so have FB) for 10+ years.
People are just dumb
and sharing that stuff...
If you don't already follow him, Troy's pretty good at sharing his findings for this stuff on Twitter.
FB have issued a statement now too (they were a bit slow in responding...): https://about.fb.com/news/2021/04/facts-on-news-reports-about-facebook-data/
My actual phone numbers have never been associated with any social media account ... SIP FTW
It wouldn't be that big a deal if my phone number were leaked... I'd have to change it and update the 3 people that call me each year.
I wouldn't worry about a phone number and an e-mail address tbh, but passwords can be a pain
Bitwarden FTW
I wouldn't want my email account to be breached but it doesn't really matter if spammers know the email address itself... most providers do a decent job of filtering out spam.
Can't remember the last time a spam email landed in my inbox.
Loss of my email account would be bad, but that's why MFA exists
Yup
Even just stuff like a secondary email address is handy. The chances of someone compromising multiple accounts to lock me out are slim ๐
Hi
Hey
Do you need a server to host bitwarden? (I have one, just wondering)
you can use their free cloud service, but cloud ๐คฎ
Well, you can't host anything without something to host it on
So the question is.. interesting
/sigh - do you need to host bitwarden on a server to use it to it's full potential, and while I'm spoon feeding you the questions, does it work with docker too? ๐
one needs to remember we are people and not computers, it's a bad habit programmers get - thinking that processing information in the same literal sense as a machine is the way we should process information too.
now thatis ... interesting!
what is a full potential of a password manager? to manage passwords? it's the same with own hosted and cloud service
BitwardenRS runs in docker yes, which usually runs on a server, somewhere
lol cool. I'll try it on docker, thanks.
lol.. runs in docker... if it runs on linux, it runs in docker

Seeing KDE in Docker would be fun...

what is this perverse madness
it's quite useful some times
Streaming media files on my raspberry pi zero w via NFS share and omxplayer
interesting
works surprisingly well
Yeah, CPU isn't very busy
if I just could get it to be a plex casting reciever
now I'm just opening media files, and that works fine, but it is zzz
https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe#recommended-docker-image-linux-64-bit
should do, I don't use plex so ๐คท
That is tv signals \ iptv -> plex ๐ค
I've used that in the past
I want to be able to cast plex video from the plex app -> rpi
casting in streaming from device to device or device passing a m3u8 to device?
well, whatever the plex app does when you tell it to stream to another device
which works fine to chromecast (audio and video) or sonos devices (audio only)
afaik chromecast is closed source, so no github fun for it
streaming with airplay is fairly easy and works fine:
https://github.com/FD-/RPiPlay
but it's iOS only

raspicast is just a homebrew solution to generic casting, no chromecast protocol implementation I believe
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-android-tv-lineageos/
this might be a solution, rpi4 is minimum though
Yay, again...
did you drop it? ๐ฎ
no it was like that when I turned it on

yeah I bought them back in time when I was going to run some POE cameras, but it run POE regardless of client, so you will fry everything non POE
so its a distater waiting to happen
but that monitor is pissing me off. second time now
those ultra wide is crap quality
maybe some heat deformation could break it too but seems a bit unlikely
Not dropped
I dont move around the monitors
It started in the corner and died more and more
I had issues with that monitor from day one. Had to unplug it cause of static snow
is there a reason you're hesitant to just get an actual chromecast or similar instead of fighting with the pi?
You can see the stress pattern from the corner. It's an impact ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Anyway... if it's under warranty, take it up with the manufacturer.
It may have been dropped before you first got it
That might be

Trying to not make the same mistake twice. I was eager to upgrade HA remotely while out of town and crashed my house. The spouse factor went in the dumps when only 2 lights worked in the house. Think Iโll save this update for when Iโm home
Remove upgrades are for the brave, or the well prepared (and also brave)
Your lights depend on HA running? ๐คข
Yes
There's your first mistake,
Welll every switch in my house was trying to connect to mqtt and then went to device recovery mode. Iโve since fixed that
But you donโt know what you donโt know until your realize you didnโt know it
Or you could learn from other people's mistakes and plan ahead. I bought switches that will work as long as there's electricity 
Yeah, I think you could have seen that one coming!
Me too but a brownout outage during the upgrade set all the tasmota switches to recovery
I've been quite carefull to make sure all the important stuff has some kind of manual fallback cos I KNOW that WHEN it breaks it will be the one time that the misus is in on her own and she wont be shy about shouting at me down the phone !
Well Iโll use my own code on all new switches going forward. Tasmota is great but
Last crash her only complaint was the touch panels would turn on the leds on the porch
HaHa - Who thought a few years back you would have to DR test your house ๐

@subtle pasture you around?
Yo
so im looking at a video surveillance server that is being repurposed
you play around with microsoft storage pools?
Little bit, but not in a while. Moved over to managed NAS's/SANs
It actually replaced the horribly hacky solution they used to use in Windows Home Server...
you mean the software raid arrays in disk management?
Nope...
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...
it was horrible
Drive Extender, that was it
sent you a dm
that looks very vista-ish
im assuming this is microsoft's way of countering ZFS and BTRFS storage pools
where you can just throw any drive you want in there
That's because Windows Home Server was based on Server 2008 / 2008 R2
what was the first win server? 2003?
Oh, apparently the very first version of Home Server was actually based on 2003 R2...
@dusky plank Nah, Windows Server goes back to NT 2.x
yeah but was called NT, not server
Nope, Windows NT was also divided into "Workstation" and "Server" editions
oh, never seen that
Windows 2000 Server was almost released as "Windows NT 5.0 Server"
The swap from NT 5 to 2000 was pretty last-minute
windows me was beuatiful, in every way
There was also supposed to be a DEC Alpha version of 2000, but it was canceled last-minute as well
Windows ME was interesting... Windows 98 SE DOS/driver compatibility, with Windows 2000's network stack.
I took a dive in these updates with those longhorn leaks, everything else I used was rc
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
Once IE is patched, things smooth out
98 se was ๐
Windows 95C with IE4 or gtfo, pls
mosaic intensifies
xp was meh, but you could configure the crap out of it.
I had a dual-socket Pentium 3 workstation as my primary rig for a while, so I was basically forced to run Windows 2000 on it
9x has no support for multi-core or multi-socket
9x would boot, but not see an entire CPU
i bet that was fun
It was pretty sweet for 1999, yeah XD
Dual 1 GHz Pentium 3's, 512mb of RAM, and a TNT2 (later upgraded to a GeForce 2)
torrents were the hottest shiat back then
Bitorrent wouldn't exist for another 2 years mate >.>
We were all still on Napster
hm was it limewire / kazaa then
Kazaa, now that was where you'd go looking for your OS install files
1999 predated Limeware, Kazaa, and Bitorrent
Napster was pretty much it at the time...
Napster ๐ฅ
Oh, and edonky, I think
eeedonkey and bockwurst
Wait, no, 1999 also predated edonky XD
directconnect had chat and rooms. twas awesome. you could ask what you were downloading before starting the download.
Goddamn 1999 was a long-ass time ago
that is if people were at their pc.
it was like discord with sharing. man i miss those days
we talk 2000
@dusky plank Yeah, I distinctly remember upgrading that system from a TNT2 to a GeForce 2 a few years after getting it. lol
then the normies had to come in and ruin everything
Who had Voodoo 2 graphics?
so yeah, edonkey, kazaa and limewire
Kazaa Light/lite, to be on the safe side
That's the toolbar with Stephen Hawking's voice, right?

I think hitman 2 was one of the first games I encountered securom
I doubt the real early ones had any
clonecd was the only one cracking that, it was easy AF though

Loom was cool and the kings quest games. I think you used a floppy and cd for some
never got my hands on those

Itโs better than typing in code from a magazine and leaving the computer on overnight just to find you mom shut it off while you were in bed at 8p
I was typing codes from magazines too ๐
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
I learned a bunch of useless ones then went to work on the railroad. Sadly a RR job paid 4 times a programmer in the day. I remember be pissed when my college taught pascal instead of C and I had to self teach that.

analytics data is interesting. like how uncommon integrations are after about the top 5.
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?
I would think on the device end that would be accomplished but thatโs more on a topic than off a topic.
sounds like #integrations-archived topic, no support here, or some more targeted channel depending on what was discovered or via what means

@dusky plank The web console in Safari did moan about something websocket related not happening.
seems to be a known issue https://deftly.net/posts/2019-10-23-websockets-with-relayd.html
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.
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?

There's a flaw in the way GitHub works that allows anyone to add to your history, so someone took the piss by adding it to DMCA.
They can't remove that code from the internet without taking down their own repo.
Wasn't that done using a bug (or "unintended use-case") that github has still failed to resolve?
They refuse to fix it. I don't think they even acknowledge it.
but it doesn't have a gui, does it?
I see you already covered that above. lol
