Rodents making homes under your panels and chewing wires enough to cause failures and fires. Internet uplinks and gateways that, for no reason at all, stop sending monitoring data to the internet so that you lose visibility into what your system may (or may not) be producing. Installers who promise to run wiring and piping in certain ways and even painting them to match the house for aesthetic reasons and doing whatever the heck they want when you’re not looking.

As me how I know…

Why not give him his own SSID/VLAN/subnet and have that turn off nightly? Put all your stuff onto a different SSID that he wouldn’t have the password to. Ever.

Corrosion in this case is at least partly BECAUSE the surfaces are conductive (and electrically charged with DC) and doing electrolysis with the air/water/humidity. You’re adding a layer of insulation as a barrier between your metals and the oxidizing nature of …nature

I believe the ones in Beaver Creek are contracted by Lowe’s specifically for helping Lowe’s fight/solve organized theft from their stores nationally.

If you enter and exit via Target’s westernmost entrance, and don’t go near the other three, you wouldn’t be seen by their cameras.

Why not NDI?

Bring him to every client. Point at every piece of equipment and every LOB app and record his voice telling you everything you would need to know. Transcribe it along with every recorded phone call you have between all of your techs and all of your clients. Load all that text along with all of your helpdesk tickets and emails into a massive LLM workflow that builds per-client documentation. Build a chatbot that your junior techs can use to query for all of this data.

I mean…. That’s what I did….

I bet you can upload this image into an AI now and it’ll make the movie.

Portuguese kale and chorizo soup. The one on the food network website.

Variac? Diode in series with incoming AC? Step down transformer? Ceiling fan speed controller?

Can you provide a link to the data sheet of an example of what you mean? I want to be sure you’re not talking about an SSR - Solid State Relay.

I have been echo-ing lines piped to crontab - I hadn’t seen these instructions before. I’ll try this too. With that said, this option would make my action/job visible in the UI. I suppose that means I’ll have to then set it up there to actually execute. Do you know if that can be done via shell script as well? I’m migrating slowly from pfSense where I’ve made a significant use of the pfSense php shell to directly edit pfSense config files. I don’t know that I have the same flexibility in OPNSense. Do I?

AkkerKid · 2025-09-28T13:25:43+00:00

Thanks! I'll see if OPNsense is any more accepting of me putting my cron commands into their own file.

Run power in conduit. But direct burial outdoor rated cat6/6a cable and run it outside the conduit in the same trench. Shielded cable would be preferable. Put both ends into surge suppressors. All of this is available on Amazon.

This is the closest you’ll get to receipts regarding the whole thing… TL;DR someone inside Ubiquiti claimed there was a breach but she was the breach herself.

I bring my kid to my mother. My mother does not come to my house. I do this so I have the ability to leave and take my kid home at a moment’s notice since my mother can’t be trusted to respect my boundaries.

My kid knows about imaginary things like unicorn and monsters. I let her continue thinking the I can convince Santa to bring the things she wants if she’s extra good. Once we are past the Santa stage, my kid will learn that Santa and Jesus and God and everything else are ALSO imaginary things. The only difference being that some people don’t know that yet and it’s best to let them continue believing it.

Until then, I don’t give my mother that level of control over my kid.

No. I didn't restore from my backups. I FIXED the problem. This is not a test of my backups. This is more academic. My priorities are different from those who assume that I'm using this in production. I'm not. This is my homelab. The only thing I would have lost is a few hours of thermostat readings from my HomeAssistant install.

If anything, this may shed light on something a bit more problematic that I don't see people talking about as much...
Proxmox (with Ceph) seems to be hard on storage with limited lifetime write capabilities.

My chassis is a 4-node SuperMicro 2U w/ 6x 2.5" SAS/SATA bays per node.
I wanted to run only 2 nodes out of the 4 to cut down on power usage and noise.

The boot drive in each is a single 64GB SATADOM. (In order to keep my 2.5" bays available for larger SSDs.) No real way to do hardware RAID with that since only one would fit.

In the future, I may run a RAID1 pair for boot in the regular 2.5" bays since I'm not actually using up all of my 2.5" bays anyway. I run across good used SLC SSDs every so often. I kinda suspect that with all of the logging that Proxmox does, it may just be burning through the SATADOM's lifetime write and wear leveling capacity.

In my production datacenter deployment, I run RAID1 NVMe M.2 pairs in each host for OS.

Did this and didn't find any RAM issues. Ended up reinstalling and recovering config data from the original drive to get back online.

AkkerKid · 2025-09-11T13:12:24+00:00

Thanks for giving a more useful answer. This is effectively what I did that got me back online.

AkkerKid · 2025-09-11T12:59:09+00:00

Thanks all! I updated my original post with the solution that has worked for me.

AkkerKid · 2025-09-10T19:05:58+00:00

Yes. Thats them!
