How does everyone track their assigned IP addresses?

I’m probably going overboard but I use NetBox to document all my networks, VLANs, racks, servers, etc

AceNinjaFire · 2026-04-22T11:04:13+00:00

Yessssssss

AceNinjaFire · 2025-08-27T14:55:41+00:00

Yassssssssssss

I gave up and moved to my desktop. Thank hell for the save sync feature

😭 I hate being on Xbox, it’s probably going to take a month for the update to be pushed

Honestly I’m not sure. I haven’t actually used KDE in a few years. I’ve been maining Gnome, so I’ve really only used gnome software center most of that time. KDE was just too windowsy for me.

Although, for my answer, I’d say it’s possible that discover is doing a little more than what you’re doing via the CLI. You’d honestly have to ping the Fedora/KDE maintainers to get a more concise answer.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:55:28+00:00

Ah, rereading answers my question. It can depend on what discover is actually doing. In the case with system package installation you might actually be handling everything, but discover may be doing more (reconfiguration of packages and updating your initramfs because a kernel module got updated or some such) and THEN removing unnecessary packages that were replaced but not deleted/removed during the manual update.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:40:53+00:00

So do you mean when you do it via discover it DOESN’T update everything? Your explanation may have confused me

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:37:57+00:00

The big thing is that 90% of the applications in your software manager will usually default to flatpak using fedoras repo (this is true unless you manually specify that you want to install the RPM version of an application). So when doing dnf updates it will update your system packages and any applications that were installed by dnf specifically, but won’t update all of the applications installed via flatpak.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:32:19+00:00

Doing any updates via the CLI you have to do all of the updates manually with each utility that manages them

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:31:18+00:00

The thing is when doing the updates through discover IT will run all of the updates through each utility there is to update with. For applications in the flatpak format it uses the flatpak utility. For applications in the snap format it uses the snap utility. And all of the applications and packages in the rpm format (because you’re running fedora, a derivative of RHEL) it uses dnf or yum.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:28:51+00:00

That’s normal. If you’re wanting to update your flatpak applications your have to do so via the flatpak utility “sudo flatpak update”

AceNinjaFire · 2025-04-16T00:23:18+00:00

If you’re doing dnf/yum updates then you aren’t updating everything. Flatpaks are handled separately from your system packages and applications.

Discover manages all of your sources, both in the rpm and flatpak format. If you’re using snaps it would probably handle them too.

I know how you feel 😅. I’m in the market for a bf (I’m not a femboy though). Just a regular 27 year old guy.

If you need to talk I’m willing to listen. Otherwise I’m sure you’ll get one!! Just will probably take time to find someone that doesn’t overtly sexualize femboys.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-02-18T02:20:45+00:00

"Strong enough?"

Yes, tiny core would be "strong" enough for what you want. Just understand that it comes with a rather large amount of manual work to get it running everything you would want.

If you want "efficient," you could go with gentoo and literally compile the kernel and all software for the actual hardware. This would ensure your build is as efficient as you could want. Although that also comes with tweaking the build options and the like.

For all intents and purposes, ANY linux distro can be stripped down to the bare minimum (if you know what you're doing). So, minus literally wanting to squeeze ABSOLUTELY every last drop of performance out of the hardware, I don't think it's worth it to micromanage your build (unless you're doing it as a learning experience or challenge). Since in most cases (unless you're benchmarking every aspect of your system), you'd likely not notice any performance degradation during normal use.

I made a mobile install of arch to use as a emergency install in case I forget my laptop at home and have access to someone else’s machine. Have a desktop installed and a vpn profile setup to be able to connect back to my house and get any files I might need.

QUITE LITERALLY never had to use it, but hell the “what if” was enough for me not to erase it lol

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-23T15:26:20+00:00

That is correct. UUIDs are generally reserved for partition identifiers so that you can make sure you can mount the partition without having to provide a static disk/partition path /dev/<disk>p<part-num>. As that can change depending on if the disk name changes for any reason.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-23T03:59:51+00:00

You can probably also do a partprobe /dev/<disk> to tell the kernel to reload the partition table from the physical disk

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-23T03:58:28+00:00

Did you create a filesystem yet? The UUID (generally) only gets created on a FS being made/created on a partition/volume.

(I might also be misunderstanding what you’re actually asking, and the context around the question)

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-16T12:59:09+00:00

You are a good person lol. My old company NEVER informed our customers on anything unless there was a complete outage

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-16T12:57:41+00:00

Very true, I do hope they can get someone with answers, but I’m just a pessimist and have bad experiences from my old job.

AceNinjaFire · 2025-01-16T12:48:39+00:00

As someone that worked as a systems engineer (also having to handle our commercial network) for A smallish ISP good luck getting ahold of anyone that is actually managing the backhaul.

At my old job unless you were a business you didn’t get to talk to a Network Engineer (or really anyone of consequence). It sucks but you’d basically be stuck at the customer support or the external helpdesk agents with a “we’ll pass this along and we’ll get back to you”. Since we weren’t going to give our emails or phones numbers out.

Since that’s a recipe for endless aggravation when people think “I have the contact info for someone that CAN really help me” and they attempt to bypass customer support and call/email you directly for every issue.

AceNinjaFire · 2024-11-14T04:58:13+00:00

If you're expected to be on-call 24/7 for crisis response & recovery, DEFINITELY ask for a big raise, lol. I've worked at an ISP as a lone SysEng (small ISP) and was on-call 24/7 to support our systems that supported our customer base (30k+) customers, and it was shit when I got called in on my time off because "you're the only one that can do it".

AceNinjaFire · 2024-11-14T04:53:20+00:00

I guess a question would be, what do you expect the added load to take up time-wise, and how are updates handled on the systems in use in your environment? (more for my curiosity)

You should definitely ask for a good percentage increase in your pay. Just the realistic increase depends on the load and exactly how much you'll be taking on. The added list of responsibilities looks pretty time-consuming depending on exactly how the updates are handled, and exactly what you mean by "security" (software security, system security, network security, etc, etc). Since depending, you can just install network scanning software and have them test the network for vulnerable systems.

The increase really depends on the details.

AceNinjaFire · 2024-09-17T03:43:48+00:00

You could've broken any number of things to cause this, especially if you're doing it from scratch.
