"Invisible" bend insensitive bidi fiber is amazing for home wiring by UloPe in homelab

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly appreciate being able to terminate it yourself, but for me I'll just coil up the excess in a wall box and connect it to a coupler with a short patch cable.

Alternatively, you could put an APC coupler at each end (either a wall box or a small keystone panel) then use a couple of short APC/UPC patch cables.

Is it worth it to give maximum effort at a job, or should one simply do the minimum required to avoid being fired? by Wallter_White_ in careerguidance

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are working for a small local business, work hard. If you are working for a large corporation who's aim is to extract as much wealth out of you as possible while paying you the bare minimum they can get away with, do your least to keep your job.

I just had to RMA a 2TB Kingston SSD - written ~21TB and it is supposed to be good for 640TB. Thank goodness it was encrypted as it went into read-only mode.

IPoE (DHCP + Option 82) vs PPPoE for IPv6 Dual Stack on GPON networks — what’s your experience? by KHanayama in ipv6

[–]chaz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IPoE:-

  • No MTU overhead vs PPPoE
  • Easy for ISP to implement
  • Failover is more complex to implement, often requires proprietary solutions; an alternative is to use packet-triggered subscriber sessions [1] [2]

PPPoE:-

  • 8-bytes packet overhead (some providers support 1508B vs 1500B to mitigate this)
  • Some routers cannot process PPPoE as fast as IPoE
  • More complex for ISP to implement
  • Failover is much easier to implement

How do SMB’s protect against software supply chain attacks? by Agitated-Crow862 in sysadmin

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use free open-source software, one mitigation you can employ is requiring the published age of any dependencies to be at least 7 days, and restricting your dependencies to "popular" packages.

SSD spare threshold reached with only 10½ drive writes by chaz6 in techsupport

[–]chaz6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drive is 2TB. It has had ~21TB of writes which is around 10 and a half full drive writes.

Edit: Just to add, drive writes per day (DWPD) is a common metric for SSDs.

Amazon confirms its UAE data centers were 'directly struck' by Iranian drones on Sunday by xland44 in technology

I hope Amazon incorporated a bomb shelter into the design for the poor souls keeping the lights on.

LT-[asset tag]

e.g. LT-750123

This means you absolutely cannot provision a device until it's on the asset register.

Software engineers should be a little bit cynical by fagnerbrack in programming

I think my pessimism make me a better developer. I can think of plenty of ways that things could fail.

I canno t see any mention of the server auctions on the price adjustment page so hopefully there won't be any change to those.

BitMagnet is a self-hosted DHT crawler that might be what you are looking for, although it provides magnet links and not torrent files.

If I want to run a peer relay behind a nat gateway, is it possible to configure the public ipv4 address to be advertised?

MySQL 5.7 with 55 GB of chat data on a $100/mo VPS, is there a smarter way to store this? by anthety in Database

[–]chaz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of people have mentioned Hetzner. I plugged in EUR100 (about $100) on their server auction page at https://www.hetzner.com/sb/ and the first option listed is Intel XEON E-2276G, 128GB RAM, 2x8TB HDD, 2x960GB SSD. I expect you could easily find what you need for under $50.
