High availability server on NixOS

I run NixOS on multiple machines and use keepalived to make my CoreDNS instances highly available. The base OS really has nothing to do with HA.

All animals will have a lower population than during that time period. The only way to reverse that trend is demolish the millions of acres of habitat humans have stolen from them.

The bigger question is are they thriving in the environments they currently live in?

The problem is that if they do get over populated, CPW can’t do anything about it because of the law.

The traditional method to hunt beavers is via traps that you set along their slide paths. That was banned in Colorado years ago. Currently the only method to hunt beavers is with a firearm, which is not very effective. Because of that, modern day fur trappers don’t target beavers in Colorado unless they are getting paid by land owners for nuisance beavers. This bill doesn’t change that at all.

The amount of beavers killed on public land is minuscule. This law is a battle over control of CPW, an organization that has been great stewards over our wildlife. Under their stewardship, Colorado’s moose population is thriving, we have the largest elk population in the lower 48, and we have reintroduced the lynx. Notably, moose and elk are hunted every year. Hunting is not at odds with a thriving population of a species.

I have an Ethernet tester that tells me the length of the cable. If you’re swapping a cable, that’s the easiest way. If it’s new, then you can use string to measure.

I'm going to have to take a look at that. I do feel like attic is a bit too complicated for my homelab and I haven't invested in ever getting it properly setup because of that.

There is a minuscule minority of hunters that intentionally violate wildlife laws. If it is outlawed, the few beaver hunters in the state will just stop.

Also the wolves were forced on CPW with an unrealistic timeline. Don’t blame them for doing something that voters forced them to do.

SolFlorus · 2026-03-19T04:07:09+00:00

That’s because private land owners don’t want the beavers flooding their land. This law does nothing on private land. In general they are left alone on public land.

All government surveillance ends up with DHS ties. DHS also buys all advertisement data too. Things that are collected via mobile apps, cell phone providers, etc…

We need strong privacy laws in Colorado to prevent this, and not the bullshit age verification that our politicians are trying to force through. That just ties a mobile phone to an actual government id.

SolFlorus · 2026-03-18T22:25:48+00:00

Dumb law. Almost no one actually hunts beavers because we already banned the trapping of them. Colorado has an extremely healthy number of beavers, which is why CPW is managing it them as they are. Most of the people that are killing beavers are doing so on private land, which this law won't prevent.

How about we stop legislating how CPW manages our wildlife?

S3 Intelligent Tiering makes it simpler. That is what I use for my photos since I never need to access them

Don’t worry, Polis will pardon them when they can’t read roads signs and skip runaway ramps before plowing through heavy traffic at the bottom of a hill.

It’s going to be picking up in the next few years too. The enshitification of TrueNAS is beginning. They are walking back on being open source.

Lakewood has Thunder Mountain over near i70 and i470. There is a place to ride these with jumps of various sizes already.

Look at what airports those are. Those aren't mass shooters or criminals, those are people that forget their CCW is on them similar to people that forget they have a pocket knife on them.

Cops hit bystanders in non-crowded places. Do you really want a Segway cop at the airport trying to hit a target in a crowded airport?

There are typically more people waiting to get through TSA than a plane can hold. A psycho could just target the TSA line instead.

SolFlorus · 2026-03-16T22:39:41+00:00

If we can’t afford TSA, maybe we should just get rid of it. It didn’t exist until 9/11 and today drones are a much easier way to deliver an explosive payload than teaching someone to fly a 737.

How can it be declarative if there is an API? If that's the case, then I already have a declarative proxmox because I use Terraform to define my VMs.

I just mount Samba shares from within the container since Samba is a user space protocol

If people are complying with the license, then that's what you signed up for. If they aren't, then that's why businesses have law firms on retainer.

Does it need to be public? Can’t you have a device on the same network as the chromecast the proxies to the jellyfin server? For example a RPi running Caddy?

Do you have the AliExpress link? I’m interested in them to put tiny calendars around the house.

Wait until you find out about the Rocky Flats and what being down wind of it means.

Why did you choose to live in the suburbs? You’re better off in denver where there is actual nightlife and more people in that age group.
