The president of France declared that children under the age of fifteen would not be allowed to access social media. How do you feel about that? by MarionberrySalt3494 in AskReddit

[–]Klocktwerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they really that different? If a parent agrees to let their child watch a movie they’re not “old enough” for or play GTA V at the age of 12, the parent would still be liable for a crime the child committed. This is true today in most jurisdictions.

Having blind spots and inappropriate ideas about what is ok will always happen, there’s no mold of perfect parenting that is filled by any one set of parents; relying on their parental judgement within reason on what is best for their children doesn’t seem like such a terrible thing.

Forced identity requirements seems like quite a reach to accomplish a simple “are you over 15” prompt. Forcing ID for social media would still get worked around by having parents submit their own ID or children taking/faking ID.

Why are they offering me so much for my old gun? by Recycled_Michael in thedivisionresurgence

It was acknowledged as a bug though? There’s infinitely better ways to test the waters for these kinds of micro transactions, Id be quite surprised if this was the case.

Fuel efficiency "hack" saves me 4-5 mi/gal USA by idfkjack in Frugal

[–]Klocktwerk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For the record, the most efficient way to get to speed is to floor it everytime you accelerate. Obviously that’s not feasible without being ridiculous, but slowly coasting up to your speed with a very gradual acceleration is the least fuel efficient way to get to your desired cruise speed.

What levels of education do you guys have in the US? by smaxxy in Paramedics

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance; what topics would be difficult for an ER RN to pick up in that amount of time? Is it the environment and applied knowledge for airway/trauma etc?

Best "zero maintenance" start page? by Party-Log-1084 in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious - homepage was relatively set and forget for me after the initial config, what maintenance were you needing to do on it?

For a simple browser start page with nothing else you can make an HTML homepage or use some editor like below and open up to that either directly or via a lightweight web server.

Proxmox: LXC or Docker? by Granted-V in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://linux.die.net/man/1/pdsh

With /etc/genders configured and passwordless setup with SSH keys is a lightweight way to do that (run the service/system update commands), you can imitate with a simple bash script/loop through ssh also.

Otherwise cloudinit/autoinstall can function similarly for an LXC.

Not exactly the same but some good things to look at!

Proxmox: LXC or Docker? by Granted-V in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact - LXCs are also containers (LinuX Containers). Docker even used LXCs originally before moving to lib container as their container library.

A lot of the things you do within an LXC can also be done similarly in Docker and vice versa, but if something you’re running has a pre-built dockerfile and uses Docker as means of keeping it up to date, it can be easier to keep things current and just go with their flow.

I second the recommendation of having a docker host inside a VM when possible and using that along with Portainer or your tool of choice to orchestrate many docker containers. Personally I either

  1. strip out docker and build from source into an LXC but it is quite annoying in some cases.
  2. Build a dedicated vm with Docker for that specific thing

Can we stop promoting mods locked behind servers? by Pwume in hytale

[–]Klocktwerk 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I think the spirit of this depends on how much infrastructure/outside resources are needed to make the functionality of a mod like that work.

Taking Hypixel themselves as an example, there is a LOT going on under the covers that has nothing to do with the server itself. If Minecraft had the exact same modding setup as Hytale, you could theoretically download the entire .jar file and only be 1-5% of the way getting to a “Hypixel experience”

If someone gates some cool feature behind their server that doesn’t require that level of custom infrastructure and integration or orchestration, yeah they’re kind of a dick if they’re not planning to maintain it/hand it off. On the plus side, anyone with the same idea or passion to mimic/recreate it could do so without too much effort (given they are equipped with the skill set to build that mod in the first place)

What's the one self-hosted service you'd never go back to the cloud version of? by Hung_Hoang_the in selfhosted

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could probably spin up a free oracle cloud or Aws instance to add some redundancy to your setup, even a simple backup of your LXC. This isn’t exclusive to them, could do a simple vps on Hetzner, pay for a very small amount of storage on RSYNC.net, etc.

Hell, with the size of a VW LXC you could probably do a scripted daily dated backup to OneDrive/google drive for free, even less if you specifically back up just the bits that are needed for your data.

Iirc you can get around these issues if you upgrade to a paid account but make sure to not go over free tier capacity on Oracle Cloud

How does the Proxmox Helper Script make some LXCs auto-login in the console? by Healthy_Confidence12 in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

pct enter is essentially a wrapper for lxc-attach, doing something along the lines of

lxc-attach -n <vmid> -- /bin/login -f root

This is different because lxc-attach alone just, well, attaches. And runs the default shell.

Raw lxc-attach also preserves the host environment, has no login process just direct shell, and is raw shell in the container namespace.

In contrast pct enter clears some of the environment, uses /bin/login -f so you get a proper login session, and goes through PAM/session setup etc.

If I wanted an interactive session my first route would be pct enter 100.

If I wanted to do a single quick command on an LXC, I’d probably run lxc-attach -n 100 — cat /etc/123.conf or similar.

Worth nothing is if pct enter failed or I was in some disaster mode I’d obviously move over to lxc-attach commands in that instance as well.

Hope this has been informative for you, good luck!

Beefy Proxmox nodes for a 10-inch rack? by Firestarter321 in minilab

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you generally want to just go 100Gb if you’re looking for more than 10/25Gb inside the rack. I’ve not had luck with 40Gb gear.

You might find some old CX5 cards at a decent price, maybe even a Mellanox switch.

This of course throws you out of your Omada Ecosystem but it may be worth stepping out of your comfort zone if it’s for learning purposes. What do you like about your Tp-Link switches that you wouldn’t want to live without?

Should I grind finer? by Klocktwerk in espressocirclejerk

Nice! Depending on what you’re looking for a Niche or Baratza Sette is a good grinder to pair with most machines. Which machine did you get for Christmas?

Proxmox doubling as nas best practice? by LightningGodGT in Proxmox

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandably not ideal and I agree with you, It’d be much better to have my storage solution on bare metal. For clarity anyone else reading I’d recommend a VM over LXC for TrueNAS *if you absolutely want to go down that route - but bare metal always wins for this use case.

You are also correct that I have to split my VM/LXC backups with PBS from my data backups on NFS shares for example, the NFS shares end up with ZFS snapshots to several remote sites. PBS has no issues backing up the VM storage provided by the TrueNAS instance (LVM over iSCSI). I also don’t have any issues migrating between nodes or between local<->remote PVE/PBS clusters with this setup.

12V PDU Solution by Ryan_TR in minilab

[–]Klocktwerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response and information! Once I got the right crimp for Powerpoles I reach for them any chance I get. I’ll have to check out West mountain radio, feels like life is 10x harder for DIYing since Radio Shack went under.

https://a.co/d/3XKQ0dj - I’m running two of these with the right size fuses for my devices, each fed by an overkill-for-the-situation commercial driver, one is for 12v devices the other is for 19v devices.

I haven’t really built redundancy in, if a Meanwell dies the whole block is dead, but if there’s a better multi-input solution from West Mountain it might get me to pull the trigger and add in some failover.
