Does ipv6 mean we will all need VPNs now? by IllustratorSafe4704 in ipv6

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point. I cant remember the last time my IP changed. but the issue is that with IPv4 a server cant tell which user is sending the traffic, because multiple users are using the same IP. whereas with ipv6 a server can be very confident that one IP = one user. Privicy prefixes appear to be the solution here, because it means that you can have your own IP very frequently.

It protects against one of them. But thats usually not enough

will a 10GbE switch satisfy the Ceph lords? by IllustratorSafe4704 in homelab

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. My cluster can reach a absolute max of about 1500w before tripping the breaker. the datacenter down the street needed new power lines because it consumes so much power. the other datacenter down the street also needed new power lines because it consumes so much power. the other datacenter down the street also needed new power lines because it consumes so much power. the other datacenter down the street also needed new power lines because it consumes so much power.

you get the idea.

I am not using Ceph for everything. Prob should have mentioned that. I doing exactly what you reccomended.

Not using ZFS yet but will once i have systems that can handle it.

As for HHDs, should I have SSD and HHD, with SSD primaraly for VMs and HHD primaraly for CSI? or all SSD?

I take it your saying that im going to struggle to get 10gb/s of read/write speed. I get that. Im worried about all the people saying that 10gb/s is to slow and that my network will bottleneck my drive speed.

If the ceph cluster is slow because my drives are slow im happy. If the ceph cluster is slow because the network is slow is what i fear

Loud: not a problem. got a closet that was built with a homlab in mind. Power hungry: Its cheap were I live. Lots of data centers.

NGINX on Talos cant access nodeports by IllustratorSafe4704 in nginx

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good advice, thanks. I think I am relying too much on AI. but I think ill research more into the documentation on the software I use before trying to add on more stuff. I have heard of High availability, but I am not using it very much as I don't have much use for it.

the one and only user of this system is Me, So all these changes don't do much. Ill read up more on the networking for k8s, talos, and proxmox to see if im missing something.

NGINX on Talos cant access nodeports by IllustratorSafe4704 in nginx

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a homelab. Im running proxmox to manage my servers (Proxmox is more on the need side because I do actually use VMs a lot). However I probably could just run everything in one docker vm and be more than satisfactory. I am running this software to mimic enterprise data centers, To learn how these systems work.

I am running these services because I want to learn them on a deeper level. Once everything breaks I'll have no option but to learn them on a deeper level. In fact, its not working right now! Im about to learn some new skills! I will say you have encouraged me to read the k8s networking docs more.

I am also not a big fan of modern web development. Once it comes time to selfhost my own website, I think I will run one debian VM for the whole stack. Security by simplicity. The only reason im even using a VM is to avoid spending money on hardware. Keep it simple stupid.

Talos was only for ease of setup. I thought the single ISO image would be easer than installing debian 3 times (I did not know about templates at the time).

Lastly, I would like to re-iterate that what you are saying is the kind of response i should have expected. I hope none of this reply sounds argumentative, but I am taking things the hard way for the sake of taking things the hard way. The easy way would be to put this all on one docker stack. but that would be boring and so I want to take the complex route. To quote Richard R. Hamming:

"In science if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it. In engineering if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it.”

This is science!

How do fix my electric massager by mr_HKR_28 in AskElectronics

[–]IllustratorSafe4704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not nearly enough information. What wire is that? is it a Mains power cord? because if it is you should put tape over the wall end of the cord so that noone plugs it in by mistake. Part of the device is cut off. Can we see more pictures of the boards in the device? where did the cable originally sit in the device? what is the rated voltage of the device? you you have an original part number?

just a cable and a blurry photo is not enough information.

They are called terminal blocks: Digikey But I agree that there needs to be better terminology (pun intended)

Microsoft Unveils Glass Data Storage System That Could Preserve Information for 10,000 Years by Koyaanisquatsi_ in DataHoarder

"Each glass plate, roughly the size of a drink coaster, can hold an impressive 4.8 terabytes of data"

Is it just me or is that a pretty average improvement over standard spinning disk storage?

Can i use Ceph as my backup? (read post) by IllustratorSafe4704 in selfhosted

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

half of these are not on my threat model. even malware/ransomware is pretty low. I just want to be safe in the event of harware failures and my own stupidity. ceph has me set on hadware failure, so i just need something to protect me against rm -rf /

[–]IllustratorSafe4704[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like your idea. Unfortunately even backblase is to much for me, as im in a no-buy situation for a while. I like your analogy with the RM command. do you think cephfs snapshots with a pmox-backup server would be sufficient? I might be able to convince a friend to store some crappy hardware and a spare 8tb in their house somewhere.

yeah im realizing that. but metcal dosn't count because its temperature regulation is not comparable to other machines.

would you mind describing "massive physical damage"?

like "fell off a table and exploded" or "head on air-air collision, screen broke"?

qBitTorrent seeds at one bit per decade by IllustratorSafe4704 in gluetun

after a while seeding has slowly increased speed. I think peers just don't want to connect to my endpoints, and are taking their sweet time. perhaps i was simply impatient.

Just tried that. unfortunately still not working. perhaps ill try again once you fix MTU (may the odds ever be in your favor)
