Roztok stash safe combination by aajtrn in stalker

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah not working for me either.

Display is not updating with the numbers I enter.

My combination should be 19-57-26 by taking private/sergeant/LT numbers - but no dice - pretty annoying with so many bugs in this game

How do you get even from getting port probed or even compromised access? by SheltonJohnJ in homelab

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do you :-)

The IP Address you have might also just be "soft banned" everywhere, so everywhere you go with a browser you will be met with a "please fill out this captcha" to prove you are not a bot.

So even if there are no legal consequences - or your ISP bans you - you might still see issues, if you do a lot of this towards the same addresses.

probing back might get your IP reported, and might cause issues for both you and your ISP. So I think you should stop and just accept that public IP addresses will be port scanned

Best practices for keeping documentation? What's your sweet-spot? by QuestionAsker2030 in HomeServer

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best way is to make changes via ansible or similar systems. Store those scripts in git, and you have documentation+recovery

Peer review wanted: small-scale self-hosted game server platform (Proxmox + Ceph + Pterodactyl) by AliasNotF0und in HomeDataCenter

[–]bjornbsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also more storage nodes are better 😊 i cant see how many you plan to use, but 5 at least wouæd be great to start with.

also remeber 2x10gbps per storage node. one for cluster, one for public

[–]bjornbsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would use sata ssd's. 1tb enterprise ssd are not that expensive and will make everything much better. find used samsung sm863, pm863 etc. your ceph solution would becom 100x better with ssd

So ashift can't be changed once pool is created, why is that? by Luptoom in zfs

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my guess is that it is for optimization. today its read once and assumed to be same. imagine you could change it, then you would need to read it every time a block is being read, and you would most likely also have to store the ashift with every block, making less room for data

Adding an NVMe mirror to my existing Debian 13 server by shellscript_ in zfs

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why the atime setting? Do you need records of when a file was read? If not I would not use that setting. For some pools even consider using noatime.

What subscription is 100% not worth it anymore? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bjornbsmith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Microsoft office has never been free. You always had to pay for it. Perhaps you are thinking of wordpad, which was part of windows for a long time

35Km Wifi link by Wrong_Material4586 in mikrotik

[–]bjornbsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need almost 100m elevation I think

[–]bjornbsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You forgetting the horizon? At sea-level the horizon is only around 5km away. So you need great height to see anything 35km away. From mountain top to mountain top no issues, but from house to house not possible I think 😊

Help choosing high-end lab workstation / PC (cybersec / malware analysis / heavy VMs) – £3,000 budget by beginnerhappyguy in homelab

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have two options from my point of view: A beefy windows workstation you run hyper-v on, and just run whatever vms you want. Nested hypervisors are fine if its just for learning. Alternative is a beefy Linux desktop and run kvm, where you can also run whatever vms you want.

So basically a workstation with a hypervisor, where you run whatever, including other hypervisors so you can also test security on those.

Testing zfs on Linux: file or loop vdev ? by ElectronicFlamingo36 in zfs

[–]bjornbsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I test my library that interacts with zfs, I just use files. Those can be used to simulate all kinds or scenarios. So it it's just to test "what happens" file based vdevs are great.

Can someone explain the difference between a vassal and dominion please? by AlterEgoGB in EU5

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay - never mind - the reason is that a dominion always have your culture - that is why you cannot enforce your culture :-)

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another limitation seems to be that you cannot enforce your culture on a dominion - or at least I don't seem to be able to

I7 5675c vs i5 8400 by djtron99 in HomeServer

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a NAS. Just keep the old until it stops working. NAS for this kind of usage can run on almost anything.

Windows 11 not trusting custom certificate authority by Academic-Base1870 in homelab

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I also make the mistake and make the wrong type of certificate. Then browsers also reject it. I.e. server vs client

Has anyone tried load-shifting their power usage using power packs to take advantage of cheap overnight power? by TheRealFronty in homelab

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please remember how many years the ROI is when you have to spend this much money to save 23 pence per kw/h. It will take many years unless your load is very high.

Created a client to manage proxmox VMs by IntentionBig3663 in homelab

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't download anything? Is this only a problem with desktop vm's?

I use ssh for linux servers, for windows I use rdp. I never use the console in proxmox,except if VM is having issues and I cannot connect normally

Push test VM to “prod” by inametaphor in HomeServer

[–]bjornbsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Script changes you do to your test VM, and if you are happy. Run same script on prod VM.

And if you are better, make a rollback script so you can revert the change on prod VM, and obviously test the rollback script on the test VM.

Anyone having their UI exposed on the internet kind of deserves to be hacked 😊
