Why are you treating this like it’s transactional?

Your character is a reflection on you and not a ticket to preferential treatment.

I can see the “USA has to stop Ukraine from its attacks on America’s vital gas supply” headlines already.

It’s fun to take mild peril and up the stakes.

I hope you never find out just how much the wilderness doesn’t like humans.

Been there. Never again.

It’s amazing the risk profile of that.

SNMP.

The old engine was nagios. The new engine will be telegraf -> mqtt -> brokerfest -> timescale -> Prometheus.

I guess. Not sure yet. The brokerfest is a series of broker pubsub between sites to both split out data from the stream for off-site CC, or pull its own subscriptions in. Data could go host <- telegraf -> broker -> remote broker -> remote timescale -> remote Prometheus

Like, extra. We don’t blink enough and they get dry.

Is this the “touching grass” activity they spoke of? Seems scary.

Hey, sometimes the phones are hucked into the other room if they’re going off too much. Time out, Daddy’s gotta work.

I still say the algorithm was the flaw. Misinformation can be combated with facts, but only if you see the rebuttals.

You’re gonna get different viewpoints, ranging from “yeah, but it’s popular” to “shut up”.

ZFS promises dedupe and super-simple snap synch to another host.

What I liked it for over e4 is the far greater inode count per file, as my backup setup was doing hardlink(1) and running into the boundary a lot.

Now I like its trivial snapshotting as a periodic rollback target on my file server to recover from occasional oopses; hook the .snaps up to a smbd and people can grab their own files back from the brink.

I still use like 90% e4 though. More stable and reliable than xfs, it’s good for everything you value.

still looks like I am active on Teams/online.

Dude, do we have to have the ethics speech again?

Gen-X represent … if you want.

He should just start sending the “difficult pill” memes.

Dude, I wanna tell you that success is possible.

On this one daily driver of a 6-year-old machine. I installed proxmox. Then a desktop on top of that. Then I made the USB keyboard, mouse, and sound, go into that internal machine with the video card. Then I plugged all that shit into a USB KVM, then a 20ft set of USB and video cables to my desk, where the USB is hubbed to the ends of sanity itself before it comes out to a USB mouse, keyboard, and sound dongle. Video goes to the panels clamped onto this desk.

Works. It defies logic, threatens one spec and probably breaks a low of nature and more than one of decency, but it works.

Your way-better gear should really work like gangbusters. Please keep at it in case the solution is right there.

a […] software

Nope. Software doesn’t get an ‘a’ in front of it; it’s like saying ‘a happy’. ‘Uncountable’ or ‘mass’ nouns are like that.

This bot is missing a line dereferencing ‘comm’, as “community, by people who don’t know what comm has meant for 60 years already”

Docker kills SLSA and ISO27002. Anything post-container?
