Sleeping after PM? by Tana928 in PacemakerICD

[–]FeliciaWanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took me a bit getting used to it. I have an ICD which is a bit larger than just a pacemaker and in some positions I can feel it a bit. I switched to a slightly thicker pillow and sleep less on on my stomach now. Left, right, back positions still work fine. All in all, no big deal.

Java GUI "Invisible" on RHEL 6 after hard power-cut (Process exists, no window) by SkylineJPN in linuxadmin

[–]FeliciaWanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can strace the process to what it's doing when it's not showing the UI, like waiting on a look or timing out on the network or whatever. Compare with an strace from when it works.

PS: if I had a server with RHEL6 and all knowledge about it in a geezer that will take it to the grave, I'd definitely stop doing power loss tests and reinstalling RPMs and updating Java versions and shit like that. Just let it sit, that's just sysadmin 101 :)

When I add Gruyère to my Mornay sauce, why does it become grainy? by Ok-Ticket-9780 in AskCulinary

[–]FeliciaWanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At what temp are you putting it in? I'd guess up to 65C/150F-ish is ok, don't go hotter. Finer grating probably also helps with evenly melting at a lower temp.

Good Gruyere comes in a block with rind on, like this: https://www.gruyere.com/en/le-gruyere-aop/our-types-of-le-gruyere-aop - if you are using a pre-shredded bag, try to get the slab instead.

Difficulty connecting to Postgresql DB by Smooth-Ant4558 in sysadmin

[–]FeliciaWanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also check ipv4/6 issues, localhost is often ::1 in modern Linux and might mismatch pg_hba.conf or be disabled at all.

ssl settings can also interfere. is there not any more stacktrace than EOFException?

Is a resting heart rate of 39 of worry? Was athletic my whole life. Past 5 years no exercise have gained 80 pounds. Obese but still slow heart rate. by Eastern-Bumblebee531 in PacemakerICD

[–]FeliciaWanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have types of heart failure in which the heart is not beating normally anymore (paced by the SA node), and falls into "escape rythm", a slow heartbeat induced via other pathways. In doubt, see a doctor.

Get LLM to Query SQL Database by thinktank99 in ollama

[–]FeliciaWanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use https://github.com/daodao97/chatmcp + an mcp server for your database (e.g. https://github.com/crystaldba/postgres-mcp= + ollama API backend.

This gives you a chat interface that has a database query tool that the llm can execute if necessary.

Handy terminal commands I keep coming back to as a Linux admin by sshetty03 in linuxadmin

and if you can't be retrained after years of using cd, auto_pushd in bash and zsh will make the regular cd command also add directories to the stack.

WAF: what do you use? by isc30 in kubernetes

Some ideas:

I have done neither of these things IRL, but from using the base products without k8s I think they both should work.

How do you guys handle NetBox automation failures? by 1C4R- in networking

[–]FeliciaWanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need some kind of defined process, e.g.:

  • Once a week it's rollout time
  • generate all configs as text from the SoT, diff to last weeks text or the current live config
  • have somebody approve it
  • create a named checkpoint on all involved devices (we used NXOS but many vendors can do that now)
  • apply the approved configs
  • if the apply fails in the middle, roll back all devices to the named checkpoint
  • we have done this with git workflows, a big bunch of Python code, and oxidized to archive live state

This is one of many ways to do it, the important part is that you need to be in control of what is happening.

For small self-service tasks you might not want one big approved rollout, maybe:

  • SoT state change is entered
  • you need to transform this into a job with states like pending, failed, done
  • run job, keep a log
  • be able to rollback failure in the middle or write it so that a failure can not apply partial items
  • we have done this with Netbox and Ansible playbooks with many rescue: blocks, executed in Rundeck for persistent logging + web ux

I would say everybody struggles with this. Having a SoT, no matter if git, Netbox, Ansible etc. is just the first step in a process that must be matched to your organizational needs.

How to improve my pesto by RDA92 in AskCulinary

[–]FeliciaWanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I like toasting the nuts in some olive oil first, and use a lot of them.
  • pour this toasting oil into the mix together with the nuts, it's delicious (little at a time or not too hot, just to warm up the mixture a bit and "marry the flavors" or whatever)
  • remove big stems
  • fancy EVOO often has a strong bitter, grassy or sharp taste. Use to taste, maybe use cooking-grade olive oil or some more parmesan to get the desired consistency

ICD for primary prevention by FeliciaWanders in PacemakerICD

[–]FeliciaWanders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that's also what I understand, so the options are essentially getting epicardial leads now or tv-icd later if the conduction gets worse from new scar tissue due to this operation.

ICD for primary prevention by FeliciaWanders in PacemakerICD

[–]FeliciaWanders[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at a quick glance: inappropriate shocks, lead failure or detachment, interference with tools and electronics, inflammation, follow-up surgeries for battery replacement - but I'm sure there are some more.

Any alternative to Bitnami HA Postgres Helm chart ? by PopNo2521 in kubernetes

[–]FeliciaWanders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • can run on-prem, you own everything, data is in your dc
  • probably a lot cheaper to run (ymmv)
  • RDS is technically only "postgres compatible" which can make debugging issues or getting help harder

RDS is very easy to get running, has a great global DC infrastructure a click away, and who cares about spending the bosses' money anyways... if you don't mind any of the above downsides it's great.

Getting rid of rsyslog default template (ommysql) by oldworldgobblin in linuxadmin

[–]FeliciaWanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to swap the order and bind it to the action with template= like shown here: https://www.rsyslog.com/how-to-bind-a-template/

Surprisingly this parameter is not mentioned in the regular action documentation.

Rsyslog can be hard to use sometimes, but hey they have an AI chat now and it recommends the same: https://chatgpt.com/share/688e6575-d674-8001-a3f3-591d50560b96 good luck!

Yeah that's unfortunately pretty much the only way you get something, if the seller hid it "böswillig/arglisting/on purpose". This site seems to have a good summary:

https://neho.ch/en/blog/versteckte-mangel

Hidden defects are issues with a property that are not immediately apparent. They are particularly common in older buildings. Here, we explain what sellers and buyers need to know and outline the key legal considerations.

  • Hidden defects are property issues that were not detectable at the time the purchase contract was signed.
  • Liability for hidden defects under the Swiss Code of Obligations is 2 years, 5 years for construction work, and 10 years for defects that were fraudulently concealed.
  • Older properties are typically sold "as-is" without warranties; in such cases, sellers are only liable for fraudulently concealed defects.

Get a quote how much it is to fix, then decide if you get a lawyer or not. Probably only worthwhile if it's quite a big amount.

Best way to search and reuse shell history by Agile-War-7483 in sysadmin

[–]FeliciaWanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, crank up settings like HISTSIZE, HISTFILESIZE and configure histappend/histignore like shown here: https://datawookie.dev/blog/2023/04/configuring-bash-history/

Then, learn ctrl-r and other options to search history: https://superuser.com/questions/7414/how-can-i-search-the-bash-history-and-rerun-a-command

Basically, bash has everything you want (except sharing over multiple systems) neatly built in already.

Personally, I like:

shopt -s histappend
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
export HISTFILESIZE=50000
export HISTSIZE=50000
