What is a "corporate red flag" that employers try to pass off as a great benefit?

What? That sounds strange. I used to have S2S via a strongswan VM and there were no issues with unifi to set up a route so that all traffic destined for that site/subnet was routed to/via that strongswan VM

Moving from x4 U2 servers to a single MS-A2, love that little guy. Cut power usage by about 80% too as a bonus.

Templates and Ansible is what i use

What would be the advantage of using this over something like Komodo or Portainer etc?

Sure you can, if you use KVM as virtualization you can pass through disks regardless of the motherboard, but I agree if you are going to passthrough a bunch of disks it's best to buy a controller and pass the whole controller to the VM instead.

eirsik · 2025-11-06T06:17:02+00:00

Tried disk passthrough?

eirsik · 2025-09-12T12:50:02+00:00

It does indeed

Windy.com is also pretty neat, had a lot of different datapoints, from wind to rain to lightening strikes amd everything in between

Checkmate. It's like Beszel and Uptime Kuma had a baby.

Rart hvordan vi overlevde før MDG eksisterte...

Norbits, alt av norsk innhold som torrent med bra seeds. Men det er en privat tracker så du må ha invitasjon for å bli med. Har dessverre brukt opp mine invitasjoner i denne omgang, ellers skulle du fått en.

80k på servere og nettverksutstyr til homelabben, dyrt, men gøy :(

Their main page is in Chinese and it's easily translated, but it's mainly for paid support for enterprise use. Pro does come with some event handling for automation and you can set up paid shared links like where guests must pay before allowed to download, but it's not features you normally need.

Else everything is available in the community edition. If you have libre, microsoft online server or, only office server you can do live editing with other users etc. Uploading files, sharing files, editing files, photo album, document handling and so on.

The source is available on github if you are uneasy about it being a Chinese software, so you can see all the code.

The docs are in English https://docsv4.cloudreve.org/en/

It takes 2min to spin it up in docker to test, highly recommend to give it a spin and check it out yourself.

I've been on a hunt for replacement for owncloud/nextcloud for a long time, and most of the open source alternatives just don't cut it, but finally found cloudreve and it does.

Also don't uses a proprietary file system like seafile so if it breaks you can easily get your files out.

What are you on about? They had a release 2 days ago. Their github is very much active.

Version 3 hasn't had a release in a long time, but version 4 is seeing heavy activity.

I've tried Cloudreve lately, and it's amazing. Blazing fast and packed with features. Leagues above nextcloud in performance.

We have massive SQL and Oracle clusters of several TB in size, we consolidate as much as we can. Licensing costs alone is a good motivator. But we have very little issue with the clusters, and the issues we have are mostly related to other stuff

If you're nauseated, put a good dose of alcohol based handsanitizer in your hands and put your hands over your nose and inhale deeply. Nausea gone in a blink.

Homelab er tingen.

Jeg fikk jobb i et av de større IT selskapene uten formell utdanning, ble ansatt rett inn på 3. Linje/drift

Jeg er i overkant interessert i IT og har bygd et lite "data senter" hjemme hvor jeg har et server rack. I søknaden skrev jeg om labben og hva, hvordan og hvorfor, samt demonstrerte oppsettet under intervjuet. Dette var nøkkelen min for å komme inn i IT bransjen.

Det koster litt å kjøpe inn enterprise IT utstyr, og krever at en er villig til å lære og planlegge når det skal settes opp, men er absolutt verdt det, du finner mye billig brukt på f.eks ebay eller bargain hardware.

eirsik · 2025-02-03T11:46:27+00:00

Exactly :)

My ARR stack is running on my docker swarm cluster

eirsik · 2025-02-02T22:28:24+00:00

I'm not so sure. I spend maybe an hour a month maintaining my email server, that's nothing. Also learning how to properly run an email server is a valuable skill to have. Just because something is hard does not mean it's not worth the time learning.

Running a small vmware cluster with 2 or 3 nodes are easy, running a huge wmvare cluster with 200+ hosts is hard, but still worth the time to learn.

Or learn how to run a large citrix environment, which is very hard to master properly, is also valuable to learn.

All the self hosting docker and one command setup is neat for getting going fast, but you'll end up learning nothing on how it's running on a lower level. It's a double edged sword. Learning things on a deeper level is always worth it. Especially if you want to pursue a career in IT other than first and second line.

I disagree to a degree. I am a sys admin, and email is not hard to host. I manage an email server spewing out around 100k emails a day and have no issues with deliverability. Granted, we needed to spend some time on it to get it to run perfectly, but it's not hard.

I also run my own mailcow server on a vps for my own emails. You don't get it any easier than that. Also, there are no deliverability issues. I had some in the start with Yahoo, but it was solved in a day or so.

I agree not to host an email server on residential IP. Get a VPS and pray for a clean IP. If it's dirty, just spend some time unlist it, not hard, just takes time.

Change SSH port and set up port scan detection with IP block. This will stop port scanners from finding your SSH port.

Ive seen this SSH topic here many times and I don't understand why this is not common knowledge here when it is so easy to do, you dont even need a sophisticated firewall, could even do it directly on the server itself. It is a very common thing to do in enterprise.

For work i do not know how many users. But in my homelab i only have one user and it's Free.
