so tl;dr
im safe

#

i think

#

whitelisting would be a pain for them.. i hope

#

@unborn sluice i think they'd struggle a bit

#

for reference they had a wireless printer at work for months and none has figured out how to print wirelessly

unborn sluice
#

They should probably use AD for wifi auth

#

my school does that

#

the last policy was, 1device/student

unborn sluice
peak cloak
#

to be fair, printers are a pain

dim rover
#

they couldnt

unborn sluice
#

I don't know much about printer security

#

but consumer wireless printers should be fine

#

I dunno about the "enterprise" printers where there's more control about when to print

#

our old office printer ,I think have AD or something

little schooner
#

@peak cloak the printers my school went with is cloud connected and they can print from any room. The only times that it gives us trouble is when everyone goes on vacation. The printer goes on vacation too because it stops collecting print jobs when everyone returns. A reboot fixed the issue in 8 scenarios, with the last printer having DNS issues

#

Now I love the printers. But the old school way of doing them, no.

peak cloak
#

cloud connected printer just seems, eh

little schooner
#

it works with local ad too. But if staff wants to put print jobs from home to then print, they can

#

I don't think anyone used the cloud feature of it yet

#

It uses Id cards for print access or direct login with osk

#

I like it so far and deployment was easier than expected

#

I only had to push the printer connection and driver to all the pcs

#

3 lines in script. Very fast

peak cloak
#

ah

#

I have 2 printers at home, 1 is just a pain as it's a cheap inkjet that probably costs more to make then what it was sold for

#

The other one is an HP LaserJet P2055dn that my dad got from work and it's pretty nice and simple

#

Well, effective or not... That's debatable. I would consider the Visual Studio solution attack as a "standard" phishing example. You trick someone into running your malicious binary and what not

#

The second stage though, that chrome zero-day (or n-day, whatever people call it)

#

Yeah, that's kind of un-preventable pepoJuice . Getting popped just by visiting a webpage. Can't do much to combat that.

I am running OVPN on my vps in Toronto for past 6 months, whole family uses it, extreamly usefull since most of the sites are blocked for me.

But i am running pihole on my localnetwork, and to be exact 2 piholes, i am now thinking that i should install pihole on that server running the vpn service. Anyone got something i should reference by doing so, also i will be reinstalling the whole server with a fresh image, since i want to move from debian to ubuntu. So if there is a ground up tutorial i would like to know.

I had a class on uni regarding networking and debian so i mostly know what i am doing

unborn sluice
#

but why would you want pihole on the vpn server

rich oracle
#

simply bc i dont want ads?

#

i know how to do it manualy

#

but explaing it to others who are not techincal enough is a hussle i dont want

#

and i want to have pi hole on the go too

peak cloak
#

should be simple

#

install pihole locally then ovpn

#

set that as ovpn's dns server

thick minnow
#

alright, setting up freenas and so far i only have 1 question, how do i get to the dashboard? does it just show up when i enter the static ip?

thick minnow
#

thank you

peak cloak
#

I forgot if it's default http port or a different one

thick minnow
#

i havnt gotten that far yet, just a part of the video that didnt make sense/wasnt explained

#

trying to turn a retired laptop into a NAS because the USB ports on my routers are slow

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

and its taking forever for the install drive to load, so the anxiety begins

thick minnow
#

guess ima try truenas then cuz it aint booting

#

or somehow find an older version of freenas

peak cloak
#

how old is the system?

#

because it should have at least support for uefi

thick minnow
#

omg wait, uefi might not be enabled

#

core i7 640M, 6GB ram, etc, its on the old side of things but not like the worst thing ever

#

no dice

#

enabled the uefi thing in the boot options, same deal

#

maybe if i burn a DVD

#

@peak cloak didnt workon dvd, however, something actually came up this time

peak cloak
#

yeah usb should work

#

you were able to access the usb installer?

thick minnow
#

Gets stuck like this

peak cloak
#

hmm idk

thick minnow
#

Progress made, with uefi enabled, and just letting it do its own thing instead of going into boot options, it loaded

peak cloak
#

yeah

#

now I think the usb actually booted from uefi

thick minnow
#

It did

#

Drive light turns off and curser stops blinking

#

Same on dvd

peak cloak
#

maybe run a memtest?

#

do other OS's work?

thick minnow
#

Yes they do

unborn sluice
#

Nice

sweet flame
#

FreeNAS has an 8 gb memory minumum

thick minnow
#

and thats hard coded?

sweet flame
#

not sure thyats just what they list for hardware requirements

#

It says These specifications are the bare minimum requirements to run a small FreeNAS system with baseline performance for 1-4 users.. So it might boot off that but just have bad performance. im not sure ive never tried to install freenas on anything with that low amount of memory before.

#

Hi all, does someone has a solution for the slow downloadspeed of MSFS?

#

Hope this is the correct channel.

sweet flame
#

Flight sim?

raw belfry
#

Indeed

sweet flame
#

Whats your internet speed

raw belfry
#

300Mbit/s

sweet flame
#

What speed is it downloading at

raw belfry
#

25Mbit ๐Ÿ˜’

sweet flame
#

Is it megabytes or megabits per second

raw belfry
#

bits

sweet flame
#

damn thats potato speed

raw belfry
#

Lol, it is

sweet flame
#

Can you get 300mbps on the computer you are on?

raw belfry
#

270-280 real life

sweet flame
#

How fast are file transfers on that disk

raw belfry
#

its on a NVMe evo 970

#

should be fast enough right?

sweet flame
#

LOl so thats njot your ptoblem. Theres a download tab in the steam client settings panel

raw belfry
#

Downloading it from MS it self

sweet flame
#

There should be a download limit speed there

#

oh damn

raw belfry
#

Hahaha, that explains alot

sweet flame
#

does anything else download this slow

#

might be a limit on the server youire downloading from

raw belfry
#

Via steam for example, everything goes fast

dry shoal
sweet flame
#

Yeah because 25 MB/s is pretty good on a 300 mbps connection

raw belfry
#

From in game. Atleast the startup part if you know what i mean

#

25Mb

peak cloak
raw belfry
#

not MB

sweet flame
#

So thats not the problem with that

raw belfry
sweet flame
#

junk

peak cloak
# raw belfry

could be your cpu bottleneck from uppacking files?

#

the msfs installer sucks

raw belfry
#

r9 3900x... Don't think thats a bottleneck

peak cloak
#

I didn't buy the game, but I was in the beta program. I really like flight sims. It was alright, but it's way too buggy

peak cloak
sweet flame
#

are you trying uefi or bios for the freenas

raw belfry
sweet flame
#

Are you on 100 megabit ethernet?

#

nah theres no way lol

raw belfry
#

1000mbit LAN

sweet flame
#

Do you know download server location

raw belfry
#

No I don't. Know how the figure that out?

#

to*

sweet flame
#

Well i have a pretty good router with packet logging so i just see what IP its coming from and look it up

#

good chance its proxied though

#

You can do the same thing with netstat

raw belfry
#

Can you guide me a bit please?

sweet flame
#

Looks like an external issue to me... Slow proxy, overseas connection, downoad throttling sum like that

raw belfry
#

So out of my reach?

sweet flame
#

yeah open up your command prompt and ping the download url see what comes up

raw belfry
#

But how do I know the download url

sweet flame
#

Oh yeah thats an integrated thing isnt it

raw belfry
#

guess so

sweet flame
#

I mean you could try netstat but theres alot of shit in there

thick minnow
#

chucked 8GB of ram in, no dice, might have to try my other hp elite book

raw belfry
#

Not that much, have a look

sweet flame
#

I ususally just use my router lol, maybe netstat | find "ESTABLISHED"

raw belfry
sweet flame
#

Also are you using uefi or bios boot @thick minnow

#

yeah thats just too much shit

thick minnow
#

uefi

sweet flame
#

try bios

thick minnow
#

it wouldnt load at all

sweet flame
#

oh damn tf

thick minnow
#

ikr

raw belfry
sweet flame
#

latest mobo formware?

thick minnow
#

should be

sweet flame
#

nah talking to sdm

raw belfry
#

srry

sweet flame
#

shit im guessing youve already checked forums

#

Use new boot device with fresh install?

thick minnow
#

working on it soon

sweet flame
#

yeah @raw belfry you might have to let it sit for a little while lol

peak cloak
#

I ran it (truenas) on an ancient core 2 duo computer with 2 gb ram

#

not very well, but it worked

#

so specs shouldn't be an issue

#

I was just experimenting

raw belfry
sweet flame
#

Lol no problem

#

That thing has a mobile i7 in it right

#

What are youy trying to install it on

thick minnow
#

to ANYTHING, it freezes at the image above^

#

same thing for 8GB of ram

sweet flame
#

Like you arent trying on a laptop right

thick minnow
#

doesmt matter if the desire boot flash drive or HDD is in or out, same thing

#

i am

sweet flame
#

That might not be a good idea

thick minnow
#

so far i agree lol

sweet flame
#

If you are planning on usb drives

thick minnow
#

true nas aint working either

sweet flame
#

get ready for data loss

#

you would me soo much better off with a $150 ebay server with a butt load od ECC

thick minnow
#

the flash drive would just be to boot freenas, the internal HDD would be the NAS storage

#

just like how many many poeple set it up

sweet flame
#

I wish i knew more about freenas on weird hardware lol i havent ever installed it on anything but enterprise hardware

thick minnow
#

fair enough

sweet flame
#

Idk how much you can spend (well if you are tryna user a laptop probably no much) but keep your eye out for some deals on there

peak cloak
#

and loud

sweet flame
#

Yeah that can be true lol

#

Try an old optiplex or something

peak cloak
#

I use an optiplex as a server

#

nice machines

sweet flame
#

yeah theyre reliable, cheap quiet easy to find

#

Expandable

thick minnow
#

i wish i has one, i do have a server machine but its hosting 2 minecraft server and folding at home so its very busy, and doesnt have the power for a VM aswell

#

well, an old HP prebuilt

#

that i turned into a "server machine"

sweet flame
#

My hypervisor is pretty full too lol

peak cloak
#

yeah, anything can be a server

sweet flame
#

its all fun and games until you run out of cores

peak cloak
#

I host a MC server for my friends, it's pretty dead now

#

I may call it quits one day

sweet flame
#

I have a bungee server going for a few people on this dicsord for some youtuber lol

thick minnow
#

it has a core i7 2600s so 4 power efficient cores with 8 threads, its doing decent for what im throwing at it

sweet flame
#

takes alot of resources

peak cloak
#

so I can focus on experimenting with my own things

sweet flame
#

yeah having your homelab resources taken up by a block game sucks

peak cloak
#

currently working on a competition project

sweet flame
#

At least yoiu arent paying for hosting

thick minnow
#

^ thats why i did it, had the parts laying around

#

granted i have upgrade it from 1 crappy HDD and 8GB of ram and a USB wireless adapter, to an ssd, decent HDD, 16GB of ram and a PCIE wifi card (the router is on the other side of the house and we dont have Ethernet jacks in our house, and i dont feeling like going into my dads office everytime i wanna mess with it/when remote access mess' up, dont even bring it up lol)

sweet flame
#

Wifi??

#

Rip lol

thick minnow
#

ik

#

it sucks

sweet flame
#

Right after i learend what wired internet was i put like 15 drops in my parents house

#

I hate wifi with a passion

thick minnow
#

got my own private ethernet setup between my computers though

#

i wish i could do that

#

damn double wide trailer home

sweet flame
#

Oh shit just get some outdoor rated and run it underneath

#

Trailers are easy to wire

thick minnow
#

they wont let me

sweet flame
#

Bruh

#

Do it in secret

#

sn sn bad idea

thick minnow
#

lol

sweet flame
#

Not even one wire?

stone kite
#

Wifi? What's wifi? XD

thick minnow
#

nope

sweet flame
#

For real

thick minnow
#

i did get a wifi 6 card though so that helped a bit

stone kite
#

Is wifi that boomer technology that lags all the time? Lol

thick minnow
#

y e s

stone kite
#

Lamo

sweet flame
#

Parents: Is the internet down?

Me on my wired connection: LowDefKEK

thick minnow
#

i have even thought about trying to get Ethernet to go thought the old phone lines

#

but that might be slower than what im getting now

#

plus i dont have an rj11 jack in my room

sweet flame
#

If its not 4 pair will be slower

#

But at the same time more reliable

stone kite
#

I think it was in the drake and Josh movie, someone asked about wifi on the plane and the stewardess responded "we don't have wifi but we have wireless internet".

Still holds up as a good joke

thick minnow
#

that was on victorious

#

but i know what you mean

stone kite
#

Classic!

sweet flame
#

So anybody here do networking as a job?

#

need help with a cisco sg300

stone kite
#

One end goes in the router and the other goes in the computer. XD

I'm just being silly. What you need help with?

sweet flame
#

So i have a pfsense box and i paid for all 6 ports so i wann ause all 6 ports

#

So i want a ling aggregation with vlans going over it for all my interfaces

#

I can get a link agg show active state, but i cant get any traffic over it with my current vlan setup

#

How should i get them to communicate? i bever figured out how to make these fucks communicate with vlans

stone kite
#

I was hoping it was something simple. Idk anything about pfsense.

thick minnow
#

i should read this chat more often, this stuff interests me so much however i also feel so dumb reading all the words i half understand

sweet flame
#

Lol well if i can figure it out quick with google i wouldnt be asking here

peak cloak
#

what are you googling?

#

maybe wrong search terms

stone kite
#

Google is useless when it comes to specific stuff.

peak cloak
#

well depends

sweet flame
#

yeah it really is

peak cloak
#

you need to know what to google

sweet flame
#

sg300 vlans with pfsense, pfsense vlans, etc

peak cloak
#

what's the OS cisco uses?

sweet flame
#

idk big stupid webui cusco switch OS version 10000000

#

let me look

stone kite
#

I at one point wanted documentation to see if I could run a dusl shock 2 controller over ethernet as an extension and all the results gave me were usb to ethernet dongles.

thick minnow
#

if anyone has an older freenas ISO file please DM so so i have give you my email so you can send it to me, that would be wonderful

sweet flame
#

Lol i can get vlans working fine on the switch but i havent ever gottn anything working on pfsense

stone kite
#

So I ordered a stock ps2 controller extender, busted open the end and connected the wires myself. Turns out you CAN run DS2 over ethernet

#

It has a ton of issues tho

sweet flame
#

Lmao

stone kite
#

I successfully played a level on socom II on real hardware using an ethernet extended controller. It was glorious

peak cloak
sweet flame
#

Well pfsense works pretty good for me. Ive cinsidered VyOS but im a total noob and i have servers running behind it that people access to downtime is kina important

#

The web UI works pretty good if youre a noob

peak cloak
#

yeah

#

I used vyos as an edgerouter for my server

#

in a vm

sweet flame
#

Oof how did that go

peak cloak
#

was experimenting with kubernetes

#

pretty good

#

vyos is very similar to edgemax

sweet flame
#

I heard router OS virtualized can get buggy

peak cloak
#

vyos is pretty good for being virtuialized

sweet flame
#

Does it have virtualization support?

#

thats kinda mint

sweet flame
#

shit that might be something imma mess around with then

#

Since my switch is layer 3 i could just vlan everything and say bye to the dedicated router

peak cloak
#

vyos is more of a router, pfsense is really more of a firewall

primal ice
#

on the pfsense box/vm make sure you have firewall rules for the vlans / ports.

sweet flame
#

yeah it doesnt even grab an IP but yeah i tried that

peak cloak
sweet flame
#

oh maybe lol

#

still gonna mess around with it

peak cloak
#

L3 switches are more for moving from vlan to vlan

#

without traffic having to go back to the router and congesting that switch <-> router link

sweet flame
#

Oh shit thats large brain

#

I should take a networking class lol

#

My solution to that was more bandwidth to the router. But shit i cant even get lagg working right

primal ice
#

what I did on my pfsense box because I didn't want to mess with vlans or port firewall rules was bridge all the ports together and have all the traffic on the bridge.

sweet flame
#

My $1000 switch i got for free sitting here in l2 mode begging for something to do

#

I might try that

primal ice
#

still have to set up a basic pass all firewall rule on each port though otherwise it defaults to deny all if no rules are set up.

#

thats the bridge but lan opt1-7 have the same rule. opt8 is my gif ipv6 tunnel.

rocky badge
#

tech_jesus pls name your interfaces

primal ice
#

they are - default .

rocky badge
#

yeah, pls name them ๐Ÿ˜‚

lean pebble
#

Too much vlans

#

Pfsense?

peak cloak
lean pebble
#

Ya I noticed from the style of the page

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

Any js ppl here?

rocky badge
#

too many vlans

#

never too many vlans

lean pebble
#

Lol

#

Too many but you need more

peak cloak
#

why?

#

actually doing js rn

lean pebble
#

You're missing some numbers @rocky badge

rocky badge
#

?

lean pebble
#

I'm looking for a fast and efficient way to create login and register pages.
I thought about using nodejs to it @PresentMonkey#8352

peak cloak
#

lol, that's just what I'm working on

lean pebble
#

Huh lol

rocky badge
#

What? lol

lean pebble
#

I need it for my studies project

peak cloak
#

kinda, I's pretty bad, but it will never be true prod, just for a competition project

#

using mongodb as packend and passport.js

lean pebble
rocky badge
#

and?

lean pebble
#

You missed 1 to 666

#

You need more vlans

#

๐Ÿ˜†

rocky badge
#

you don't need to go incrementally

peak cloak
#

this is what I have rn

#

it's really bad

rocky badge
#

And I have 10, 20, 30, 40, 200, 666

peak cloak
#

it's the first time doing something like this

lean pebble
#

Good job present

peak cloak
#

I found one really big flaw in how I present the index.ejs, but eh I don't care that much to fix it

#

it's not like it will ever be public

lean pebble
#

I wish I could copy my login and register pages from my python site

#

To html js and css project

peak cloak
#

I'm not bothering about looks rn

#

just want it to work first

lean pebble
#

Oh shit I need to fix it

lean pebble
#

First step make it work

#

Then break it with styling

#

And fix again

peak cloak
#

basically

#

we are using an arduino connected to the browser via WebUSB which will then be connected to the server via socket.io. The basis of this idea is that teachers would be able to give rewards to students over the internet by operating basically a mini "vending" machine. So the teacher can click on "give reward to <student>" and it will dispense the reward to the student with the machine on his desk

#

@lean pebble

#

kinda dumb idea

#

but lots of these design competitions are won with kinda dumb ideas

#

I'm doing web software

#

another kid is doing arduino software

#

another is doing the actual physical design

#

tbh I'm the only one who knows how to code descently

#

the one doing arduino will just put everything in one file with no organization or documentation

frigid prism
#

Does anyone know What could be worng

#

So my wifi is Down at Home and it is a bit of problem when my Hole Family is sendt Home

#

We have tryed the normal things like reststarting the routers (we have a mest setup) and we have tryed restarting the modoem but nothing works

solemn nymph
#

maybe it's a problem with your ISP

#

call your ISP

frigid prism
#

Well we are getting a new provider new mouth but we should still get wifi for the rest of this mouth

frigid prism
#

Figured it out

thick minnow
#

im looking for an Ethernet over coaxial adaptor. Any one know any good ones? I dont want it to be expensive either

tame carbon
#

gah. its 28th, wheres me update :/

#

@thick minnow MoCA is rather expensive

#

but it is one standard for coaxial data

tame carbon
#

patch your devices people

#

if you use sudo, you have to patch.

#

even if just installed, its a free rootkit for anyone

peak cloak
#

oof

#

my router probobly doesn't have a patch

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak not every device has sudo

#

debian by default doesnt include it

peak cloak
#

let me check

peak cloak
#

unless I did once when I was a noob

#

idk

tame carbon
#

yeah well they need patching

peak cloak
hollow marlin
#

allow attackers to reach any device within the internal network and simply requires a victim to click on a malicious link.
Meh, its just pinholing the FW and creating a NAT translation.

#

I don't consider this an attack, its not uncommon for some to send bogus keepalives to keep the pinhole open in some NAT scenarios

thick minnow
#

yo guys i want a nas for 5 2.5inch hard drives which is so cheap it might set on fire

peak cloak
#

just get an older computer

thick minnow
#

how do i use it as a nas

little schooner
#

Our vendor is setting the college on fire with their test-on-production rollouts

thick minnow
#

also is there some way i can mount these hard drives so that they dont catch on fire

little schooner
#

Hard drives don't catch fire

thick minnow
#

i currently have a stack on top of a water cooler blowing hot air at them.

#

oh ok thats fine then

peak cloak
#

freenas is nice

thick minnow
#

download torrents from my main computer, download the files onto the nas (seed from that freenas computer), and play the files from that nas on a 3rd computer.

hollow marlin
thick minnow
#

are hackers even a thing?

little schooner
#

Yes

thick minnow
#

ive turned firewall off for years now and no antivirus

little schooner
#

Your not a big target for hackers

thick minnow
#

maybe i should get some sort of security if i get a nas

#

good point

hollow marlin
little schooner
#

My "NAS" is server 2016 with smb and nfs enabled

thick minnow
#

everywhere

#

it was messing with ports with astroneer a few years ago so i just clicked off on every single security related thing everywhere

peak cloak
#

why tho

thick minnow
#

idk ive never had a virus or been hacked

little schooner
#

That doesn't mean you go and turn everything off

hollow marlin
#

Turning off your FW in your router is asking for trouble

thick minnow
#

why tho whos gonna try hack me

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

i mean i seed a lot

#

maybe they can see my ip? maybe they cant

#

so what should i do, just have a firewall on my router?

hollow marlin
#

You realizes viruses are not like the 90s and are meant to be as silent as possible

thick minnow
#

i have a second router plugged into my router tho and even if i turn it on my main router idk how to do it on the second one.

peak cloak
#

torrent is p2p they can see your ip

#

@thick minnow

thick minnow
#

i trust the romanians

#

they are good guys

peak cloak
unborn sluice
#

That sounds complicated

unborn sluice
#

The only loud (not silent?) Malware nowadays are ransomware

#

Though ransomware is the hype right now

#

Cause it's easy, just need to scare and force the victim to pay

thick minnow
#

u gotta download the virus to get it

unborn sluice
#

Do you think like you download it manually?

thick minnow
#

dont go on sketch sites

unborn sluice
thick minnow
#

idk ive never had any issues

hollow marlin
#

Yep, the name of the game is to stay low and grab all the information you can.

thick minnow
#

haven;t used realtime antivirus in ... ever?

unborn sluice
thick minnow
#

thats the trick

hollow marlin
thick minnow
#

well if i dont know about it, its not an issue

unborn sluice
#

@hollow marlin lol, what if this guy is now part of a botnet

thick minnow
#

also freenas wont work

#

who recommended that to me

hollow marlin
#

So keyboard logging isn't an issue? credit cards, logins, SSN, etc? The more you know

thick minnow
#

all my drives are different sizes

#

so apparently freenas will mark them all at the lowest capacity

unborn sluice
thick minnow
#

i got like 2 250gb, 1 360, 2 1tb, 1 50gb

#

loads of random ones

unborn sluice
#

And?

thick minnow
#

and apparently freenas wont work

unborn sluice
#

I feel like you don't know raid

peak cloak
#

oh zfs

#

yeah

thick minnow
#

i dont know raid at all

#

all i know is i have a lot of drives with usb connection and i need to plug them into a computer and access them from far away

peak cloak
#

freenasn uses zfs, its very specific

#

zfs is great tbh

unborn sluice
thick minnow
#

no, but i want to

peak cloak
#

you can

thick minnow
#

i got old laptops lying around

#

so internal is out of q

unborn sluice
#

Add more q

peak cloak
#

you can use any linux as a nas

unborn sluice
#

I recommend DVL for nas

peak cloak
#

freenas just makes it kinda simple

unborn sluice
#

Except freenas isn't linux

peak cloak
#

freebsd

thick minnow
#

im so lost

#

i have laptops with windows

unborn sluice
#

And?

thick minnow
#

am i gucci?

peak cloak
#

windows sucks

thick minnow
#

idc

#

if it works its fine

#

how?

peak cloak
#

idk

thick minnow
#

what do i search and what do i read

peak cloak
#

i use linux

thick minnow
#

ok, i use windows.

unborn sluice
thick minnow
#

whats this guy talking about

#

do i ignore it

peak cloak
#

research zfs

unborn sluice
#

Have you tried sending it again to us

peak cloak
#

you'll understand

thick minnow
#

what is zfs

#

more software?

#

wait some guy said use windows as nas

peak cloak
#

filesystem

thick minnow
#

then do i need zfs?

peak cloak
#

if you value your data you should

thick minnow
#

not really

#

its just about 10tb of films

#

whats the cheapest and most simple way to do this

unborn sluice
#

Buy terrabytes of external drives

#

Then drag drop, profit

thick minnow
#

no

#

m0ney

#

wait

#

im confused

#

rn

#

tell me what to do

#

and i do

#

cheapest, simplest way.

unborn sluice
#

Pay for Google drive or dropboz

peak cloak
#

there is no best cheapest way

thick minnow
#

That means all the ways are infinitely expensive or free

#

If free then tell me simplest way

peak cloak
#

there are drawbacks and benifits to each

thick minnow
#

Can't use google drive or dropbox

#

Already told u I need to seed to it local

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

Some sort?

#

Any specific method I can search

#

I don't have time to learn everything unfortunately

unborn sluice
#

"how to Nas"

thick minnow
#

Benefits of doing it in Linux not windows?

unborn sluice
#

Sanity

peak cloak
#

like samba i think, and you an use some sort of raid

thick minnow
#

And will Linux and windows bypass the raid 0 issueswith the diff sized drives I would have with freenas?

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

I have to download Linux rho

peak cloak
#

and?

thick minnow
#

Ok well whatever the issue was

#

Will it bypass that?

unborn sluice
peak cloak
unborn sluice
#

It's not bypass

#

When you don't implement it in the first place

peak cloak
#

this is the purpose of zfs, it has stripping and data integrity checking. This means if a drive fails you can recover the data from the stripe

#

@thick minnow

#

raid0 is like the worst way to do this

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

all iirc

thick minnow
#

i would rather lose it from that 1 drive than a little from all drives (because remember these are deffo notfilm torrents)

peak cloak
#

in zfs if cofigured correctly, you will loose no data

#

you loose some capacity though

thick minnow
#

i wouldn't mind losing data tho from that 1 drive if it fails in return for more capacity

peak cloak
#

then raid0 is not your solution

#

what you want are individual mounted drives

#

not a raid

thick minnow
#

how do i do that

peak cloak
#

you can use LVM?

thick minnow
#

any windows equivalent?

peak cloak
#

idk

#

see, most of these things are linux only

#

because everyone in enterprise used some sort of unix

thick minnow
#

what was the advantage of doing windows over freenas?

#

is there no way freenas will work cuz zfs

peak cloak
#

idk if there is any easy way to setup LVM without cli

thick minnow
#

is there no way freenas will work cuz zfs

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

what if i dump my 50gb drive?

peak cloak
#

wdym

thick minnow
#

and smallest cap is 250gb, largest 1tb

#

5 drives

#

will freenas work? lets say i do decide to use zfs

peak cloak
#

@thick minnow windows also has storage spaces

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

so 5 x 250, as long as i dont get a 2tb drive or anything it should work fine.

#

ill check out that link in 10 minutes.

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow for large arrays, 5 and up, I would stay away from traditional raid

#

ZFS offers scaling capabilities for much larger quantities of storage

thick minnow
#

how much capacity will it use?

#

and do i need to leave it overhead?

tame carbon
#

depends, with ZFS there are calculators you can use

#

ZFS uses something called parity, which is checksums used to make sure integrity on the data disks is present

#

so its not a direct mirror

#

ZFS just works if you have very large quantities of data and need to make sure you have fault tolerance

#

so that if you have individual bit failures on the disks, that those are picked up and corrected automagically

#

so here you can see

#

77.22% useable storage

thick minnow
#

ouch thats quite a bit

#

is it possible to use a few drives zfs and a few not?

tame carbon
#

its not economic to run this on less than 5

#

if you just have two 4TB drives and want to make sure your data is safe

#

you can just btrfs raid1 or zfs raid1

#

since those mirror

#

you have 50% useable storage of total

#

btrfs has some magic

#

its a CoW filesystem

#

copy on write

#

duplicate files and such are able to be stored once

#

saving space

#

this is nice for archival storage, because you can have copies of your archive, without taking up more space

#

so monthly copy takes up almost no space, only whatever changed

thick minnow
#

raid 1 halfs ur capacity

#

thats a certian no

tame carbon
#

like ZFS, btrfs can also do self healing

#

yeah, and then there's raid0

#

that just stripes the volumes together into a single block of storage

#

doubles the risk of failures, but doubles storage and access speed

#

there are combinations of this

#

like with RAID10

#

two RAID 1 volumes striped together

#

but the problem with classical raid, is that unless you have a specific drive & specific controller, it wont protect you from filesystem corruptions

#

thats why ZFS and btrfs are so interesting, because they store checksums and verify if one disk has a bit failure

#

it can then use the checksum to figure out what that bit would have been, if it wasnt faulty

#

and rebuild itself

#

so in a ZFS raid5, I think there's like a 1 disk failure at the most

#

@peak cloak what was it again?

#

or two?

thick minnow
#

doubles storage? as in 100% of drive capacity?

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow raid0 yeah

#

'A' is a storage pool

thick minnow
#

benefit of that over induvidually mounted drives?

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow data corruption

#

harddrives die.

#

and most important thing with a storage array

#

is that it stores bits perfectly.

peak cloak
#

in raid 0, does all data corrupt if one drive fails

tame carbon
#

if one disk fails on a raid 0

#

all your data is gone

peak cloak
#

that's why I suggested a LVM

peak cloak
#

because @thick minnow said he wouldn't mind if data on one drive was lost

tame carbon
#

this protects you from drive failures

#

but cannot protect you from filesystem corruptions

#

this is RAID with parity

#

4 data disks, striped together

#

and then three parity disks

#

I think in this configuration, you can loose like 2 drives before you have data loss

peak cloak
#

still ZFS or other systems similar are better

#

than RAID

tame carbon
#

yeah

#

ZFS spreads this party across the disks

#

and can do some smart stuff with that

#

RAID6 attempts to do this

peak cloak
#

yeah on unraid all the parity is on 1 or 2 drives?

tame carbon
#

but the whole concept of ZFS is that its built into the filesystem, not just the block device handler

#

@peak cloak LVM is kinda jank

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

after you have it in service for a while

#

it can become a huge mess

#

if you don't do it cleanly

thick minnow
#

i heard you guys could help me setup my discord server

tame carbon
#

rtfm

peak cloak
#

oh discord server no

#

an actual server yes

thick minnow
#

hqhqhq

#

how do i plug more drives into a crappy laptop?

#

well than nvm

#

is there anyway i can access direct sata tracks?

#

because 10 drives plugged into 1 usb port is gonna limit bandwith a lot

tame carbon
#

oh what.

#

raid on a usb controller

#

errrrrrr

#

I uhm

#

shiver at the idea

thick minnow
#

uh oh

#

why?

#

thats what im planning

tame carbon
#

because usb is not reliable at all

thick minnow
#

i mean i have a stack of 10 drives ontop of my pc for months now

peak cloak
#

use pcie if you can

thick minnow
#

how to use pcie on laptop?

peak cloak
#

some laptops have an m.2 slot

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow pull out the wifi adapter

peak cloak
#

yep

tame carbon
#

has miniPCIe

thick minnow
#

is there like mini pcie to sata?

tame carbon
#

you can buy flexcables

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

they are limited in bandwidth though, since its only a 8x link

thick minnow
#

also how do i get power to them?

tame carbon
#

why are you trying to do this with a laptop

#

lol

peak cloak
#

yeah a laptop isn't ideal for this

thick minnow
#

i doint have spare desktop

#

i have a powermac G5

#

would that work?

tame carbon
#

any ol $50 used computer can work for this

clear igloo
#

Well your laptop isn't going to be a laptop after you do this, it's going to be a desktop

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow if all you need is some sata and PCIe slots for some more storage card

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

if you have large volumes, you need a lot more memory and CPU

thick minnow
#

lets say 10tb

peak cloak
#

pretty old though

#

don't expect good R and W perf

peak cloak
#

idk

peak cloak
#

maybe

thick minnow
vestal smelt
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow that's a hat for a raspberry pi

#

you need to provide external power to it

carmine moss
#

just buy a cheap used desktop as your nas the torrent can't be that bad if you find a good deal

tame carbon
#

like old computers from 6 years ago

#

still do fine as a NAS server

#

you dont need graphics cus its headless

#

all you need is a network interface, and sata

peak cloak
#

I found this near me

vestal smelt
tame carbon
#

$150 bucks server

peak cloak
#

pretty nice as it has remote out-of-band management

tame carbon
#

nice

#

the nice thing about a full PC

#

is you have PCIe slots

vestal smelt
tame carbon
#

so you can add faster network cards, more storage cards

peak cloak
#

and it's more standard

tame carbon
#

dumped about 1k on this rig

#

used PC is much cheaper

carmine moss
#

yeah the only reason to get a used server is if you need the compute but it also uses more power then an old pc

peak cloak
#

yeah

#

those old servers are hungry and loud

tame carbon
#

I needed a little compute too

#

there's a ryzen 2600 in there

#

with a 10G network card and like 8 sata drives

#

and 16GB ECC DDR4 @ 2400Mhz

#

but for 1G NAS with like 8TB storage

#

you can use a 50-100 buck PC

#

DDR3 is much cheaper if used

thick minnow
#

im suprised u even need power for a server

#

i was just gonna torrent not films to it.

tame carbon
#

the one in the picture has a 250watt supply

thick minnow
#

im mean like so much performance power.

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow I have like 6 virtual machiens running on this lol

#

with a couple games, some websites

thick minnow
#

why?

tame carbon
#

and other programs

#

cus I have a fast internet connection and like to have these things at home?

#

I have like 8 public IP addresses on this network :P

thick minnow
#

why the vm's?

#

what u running on them?

#

i wanna find a reason to get stuff like that in the future lol

peak cloak
#

vm's for each program

tame carbon
#

each environment has its own VM

#

its own public IP

peak cloak
#

much easier to manage

thick minnow
#

oh so u just use them to connect to when ur out e.g music.

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow I host services for the internet

#

not exactly going to say what, since I don't want to dox myself lol

#

most of public endpoints here are in the cloud

thick minnow
#

if u host ur own website, is that a doable thing to do?

tame carbon
#

definetly

thick minnow
#

and is it easy to get a security certificate.

tame carbon
#

Yep

thick minnow
#

oh really

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

you can use letsencrypt, if you have a domainname

peak cloak
#

just need to prove you own the server

tame carbon
#

Its free

#

just need to have a static IP

thick minnow
#

how do u protect against ddos etc?

tame carbon
#

and a valid domain pointing to that IP

peak cloak
#

either a DNS challenge, or HTTP challenge

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow thats what the tunnel to my vps in the cloud is for

#

that is a public endpoint for my services

#

it just gets routed to my local network

#

other things like my home VPN has its own IP as well

peak cloak
#

I run a MC server for my friends, it has no ddos protection

thick minnow
#

how much does all that cost? monthly costs? except power

tame carbon
#

yeah if its just for friends you dont need anti ddos

#

but once oyu have an active playerbase, and one guy gets mad with his booters

peak cloak
#

yep

tame carbon
#

he just knocks you offline and ruins the fun

thick minnow
#

i mean im paying 30 quid a month + 6 for certificate for a website

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow KEKW

thick minnow
#

whats payback time if i host my own server?

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow vps in the cloud is cheaper

#

but self managed can also be a lot of fun

#

and having it at home, means super fast access for yourself

thick minnow
#

idc about super fast access for myself, what are vps?

tame carbon
#

like I have a 10G backbone in my home for no good reason

#

@thick minnow virtual private server

peak cloak
#

it's not the most cost effective, but you own it yourself, you are not at mercy of your vps provider

tame carbon
#

like a virtual server in the cloud

#

you rent a cpu core and some memory

#

and get a public IP with some bandwidth

thick minnow
carmine moss
#

also depends on what exactly you want to run on it if home vs in a datacenter is needed

thick minnow
#

for an idea

peak cloak
thick minnow
#

selfhosted

peak cloak
#

depends alot

thick minnow
tame carbon
peak cloak
#

are you running a little pi

tame carbon
#

Yes

peak cloak
#

or a huge power hungry old server

tame carbon
#

The smallest plan has 1GB ram, 2 cores, 25GB storage and 1TB transfer

#

with 1G upload and 40G download

peak cloak
#

new servers are more expensive but less power hungry

tame carbon
thick minnow
#

can i use letsencrypt if im not hosting?

tame carbon
#

@thick minnow they are just a certificate authority

carmine moss
#

also you can rent a dedicated box in place of a vm on a server if needed dedicated box with 64gb ram an an i7-6700 and 512gb nvme drives are 50 usd depending on hosting provider

tame carbon
#

they have a little linux tool called certbot which is a program that you use to sign the certificate

peak cloak
carmine moss
#

but that is 50 usd every month to use the box and has more costs for data sent

peak cloak
tame carbon
#

@thick minnow benefit of a little box at home as a NAS with some horsepowers, is that you can also host other services on it

#

and if you have a fast home internet connection, you can just set it up at home

#

so you dont have to pay someone every month

#

vroom vroom

#

who needs a VPS kek

#

:3

#

I have a fiber straight to that datacenter

#

Peering is expensive though, if I want 800mbit I need to pay like 60% more

#

already paying 74, I think 800mbit plan was like 170bucks

#

benefit with this ISP is that I have a small VPS in their datacenter, to which I have fast access

#

@thick minnow upload is you care about when hosting services

#

and problem with most residential connections is that they aren't symetric

thick minnow
#

considering it seems more expensive ill think ill just stick to my website hoster.

#

considering doing this on a smaller scale to access my music library tho

thick minnow
#

Is there any way I can use a computer running free nas also as a printer server?

peak cloak
#

well for one that's a reserved IP address not your public IP

#

you are behind NAT, and 192.168.x.x is reserved for that purpose

#

lookup on google my ip

#

or

#

if you can on your router check your WAN interface IP

#

for example

#

this is my WAN interface

elfin meteor
#

got that in response

peak cloak
# elfin meteor

yes, you put in local IP for you what machine you are port forwarding

#

but to check it on a port checker you use public IP

#

also fyi bad idea to expose FTP

elfin meteor
#

local ip is 192?

peak cloak

yes

#

the one from ipconfig
