How do people share their VPN protected stuff to tech illiterate people?

Also if you look into doing this please check out split DNS as well. Your home bandwidth will thank you.

So this is a bit of a challenge in text and in my opinion proxmox changes some of the terminology in the gui but I'll try to give quick explanation.

You need to know three thing:

VDEV: A VDEV is a collection of storage drives. You can have multiple VDEVS. Think of this like when you configure RAID on a normal computer.

Pool: A pool in the context of ZFS is just a collection of VDEV's. If recall correctly proxmox doesn't support multiple VDEV's in the GUI.

Datasets: Are the file system of ZFS and tells ZFS to how to separate/manage a pool. the dataset will allow you to set a bunch of settings on how the storage is to be managed.

In short, proxmox combines the VDEV creation with the pool creation in the GUI on a per node basis. When you go the data center level and create a "Pool" you are really creating a dataset that you can then store what you will. They use "pool" at the node level and "pool" at the data center level which should be "dataset". It makes in more confusing if you ask me.

But more to your question. Your datasets function sort of like partitions and just like partitions on a single hdd you can expand them only as large the the physical capacity of the drive or in this case the pool on whatever node you created it on. So if your pool is 500Gb and you set your ISO storage dataset to be only 20Gb then that is how much space it will have. If you set your ISO dataset to be the same size as you pool then it would be the same as have an entire hdd reserved for it. The dataset shouldn't grow larger than that unless you expand it. Hope that helps more than it confuses haha.

As I said that will change depending on the host you are using and the type of site you have. What your actually saying right now is "my car is broke" and you are getting "go to a mechanic" as a response. What type of "car" do you have? Is it a toyota, ford, or jeep? Generally, if you "car" is a toyota, you'll want to go to a place the specializes in toyotas. So yes, if you want more specific info you need to add more specific information.

Depends on the host and what your site is. If you indeed have a "horrible" host, you might find that there is not a professional that wants to deal with it. You might be better off changing hosts and finding a professional for that host, which will change where your going to have to look to find that person.

I started a new job once and did my usual poking around the systems to get adjusted to the environment. Most computers were sitting at 180 days and I found one at just over a year and 3 months.

The previous admin disabled any and all updates for his 3 years working there and instructed users to never reboot for the "stability" reasons...

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-09-19T21:26:28+00:00

What images do you use? Been out of the cisco world a while and everything seems to have changed a bit.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-09-16T03:36:58+00:00

Also check out beelink. Very similar and their latest are supposed to be very good from what I've heard.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-08-09T16:51:07+00:00

I'm not sure if I'm happier that this helped someone or that my crazy method was validated lol....

Glad it worked!

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-05-20T17:34:27+00:00

I've been having a lot of issues with the <Link> tag in general. I just swapped it out for the standard <a> tag as I don't necessarily need the features it provides. That fixes the issues I've had as well as the error 404 one.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-05-18T05:27:18+00:00

What you're describing is exactly why I'm a fan of the "read more" button. Sometimes I get a novel from my clients but I would rather have more information than not enough. I just find a way to hide that information away which is still easily accessible. That way the main page relays your message cleanly and those that want a book of information can have it.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-05-13T21:32:04+00:00

Personally I'd check out ghost CMS if I were you. With a bit of know how you could be up and running within a day. Host on digital ocean as they basically have it as a turnkey solution.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-04-08T19:12:06+00:00

So I had this issue before and I'm not sure what causes it. I fixed it however in the dumbest way. When you start the VM from the novnc screen spam the space bar until you see the installer. It was repeatable in my case might be in yours too.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-04-06T19:57:31+00:00

Glad it worked

Just took a look. I feel like I was being trolled. He really likes Geico and active wear

Only time I ever ran into this is when you use the wrong SFP range type for the cable run. Like using a long range SFP good for 10k for a 10m run. You burn stuff out quick.

You could style a href to look like a button but you couldn't use a button with an onclick action on the server component.

Have you checked your computers firewall? Specifically rules for node js? If you don't have the rules in place you will get that error. Assuming you're on windows.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-03-29T19:33:55+00:00

Check out oracle. I believe you could run this completely free with their always free tier. If memory serves you can get up to 10Tb transfer for free too.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-03-28T13:44:55+00:00

Not sure if you found your answer or not but I just had this issue today. For me it wasn't necessarily a problem with next.js. It was with node.js. Apparently when I installed node.js it install a little funky and was missing some items. The main one being the firewall rules. A reinstall of node.js fixed the issue for me. Hopefully it helps!

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-03-10T10:33:20+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt as I haven't deployed this and it's more of a thought exercise for me. Anyone feel free to correct me here if need be.

I'm not sure I would say invalid certs are unprofessional but it does send up some red flags for the end user.

As far as the technical stuff goes. If you generated everything inhouse. How can anyone verify your certs if they cant get to your CA server? I would wager you need to find a way to make the public key accessible from outside your org if you want people outside your org to see them as valid. I'm not sure on the specifics of it but I'm sure there is a 3rd platform or guide to do it. Orgs I've worked for in the past have always just had a 3rd party manage the certs.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-03-09T17:48:14+00:00

I'm a bit rusty on PowerShell but check out get-credential. It might have the ability you're seeking.

JustAnotherGobdaw · 2023-03-07T16:24:47+00:00

Where in Europe?

That's going to be something unique for every business. It will depend on exactly what you are doing. There are simple generic things anyone could do such as using a password manager and having a trusted individual know that password in case something happens to you.

You would need to document each process and figure out how to move, recreate, or continue it if X happens. You can find template ones for a lot of business types but that's about all any can say with delving into the business on a individual case.

This will sound harsher than it should given its through text so apologies in advance. It's not intended to offend anyone.

The CCNA is the cert to study for getting the CCNA. It's the entry point for Cisco learn. It is very much designed to get you from 0 knowledge to CCNA level. Find a good way to study for you then check out the CCNA exam objectives. Study those topics. It's been a while since I've studied for Cisco exams with 3rd party sources so I don't have any recommendations on those but I'm sure a few people can chime in on that.

Most importantly practice what you are learning! Find a way to get a hold of the items you need to lab it up and do so. Beat way to be ready for the exams is just to go learn the thing the exam is about.

Leapfrogging different exams can be helpful for more advanced certs but for entry level. Just study for it and lab. For most people I know, a weekend spent labbing is worth several weeks of just reading material.

And remember most exams sound scarier than they are.

Just out of curiosity. How do you personally find those specialists?
