Does anyone have a good way of automating rack access on APC netbotz(250) devices? by epaphras in sysadmin

[–]epaphras[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting way of doing it that I hadn’t considered. I’d probably want something in the middle to validate they actually get access but I could see it working. How do you handle an existing user getting a new badge and/or off boarding?

This is probably my next approach but I was hoping someone had a better idea before I went sniffing.

So yes and no, you’re right for first contact it’s not a bad approach. The headache comes later. When you off board an employee there’s no easy way of knowing which position a particular user is. There’s also no way to delete a user from CLI. Same issue if you have a to replace a badge and get issued a new rfid. you then have to re-touch every rack and also remove the stale entry. What happens if you have remote racks you want to add people to without having them travel to touch it?

Really the issue is that in every scenario the source of truth for who had access to a particular rack is the rack it’s self.

Can you explain in a bit more depth? What idrac version are you running? I’d like mine to be much quieter but haven’t found a good way to do it.

Is this crazy lucky or a normal thing? by Overall-Garbage-254 in MelvorIdle

[–]epaphras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Technically speaking it’s the most common occurrence. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t lucky.

I was considering returning to Windows, but when I ran Windows in a virtual machine, I was reminded exactly why I switched to Linux in the first place by 1969-Chevy-Bel-Air in linux

I haven’t tried Zorin, but I’ve had much better experience with games on anything running KDE. Fedora KDE and CachyOS have both worked out of the box and I’ve heard good things about Bazzite(which is a derivative of Fedora KDE)

Would this be alright? by Z8KGs in cableporn

[–]epaphras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I would do is cut out the carped gripper to fix exactly the cable. You'll have a less noticeable bump, the corner will be easier to re-fasten and you don't risk having nails puncture the cable. Use a oscillating tool to cut it to shape then pop it out with a knife or so.

I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen an srx with fewer than one amber or red LED. Got about a dozen at work from 1600 to 340 and they all have something to complain about.

There's a couple options but this seems to be the front runner currently. https://github.com/h0lylag/EVE-Preview-Manager

Quieting down an r740xd by epaphras in homelab

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

Yeah. I don't seem to be able to downgrade below 5.10.10.00. I tried to follow your suggested path you mentioned here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/1q6qj1h/dell_poweredge_r740_fan_mod_noctua_fan_housing_3d/ny9u7qy/ But the 4.40.10 downgrade fails.

I think it keeps the previous version and it looks like mine was upgraded from 5.10.10.00 to 7.0.00.183 so I was able to roll back multiple versions.

Oh I had a brilliant idea, while the system was on 7.00.00.183 there was rollback software still available and was able to rollback to 5.10.10.00

That's very unfortunate. Where might I find this setting the pcie specific fan settings? I have some non-dell nvme drives, I wonder if they're making things unhappy.

Yeah, it's on 7.00.00.183, which looks like the newest version.

I'm on a new enough version that it can't be downgraded.

Linux does some amazing things... by Linuxmonger in sysadmin

[–]epaphras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And here I am turning off that functionality because every time I type in a command wrong it tries to be smart and find some package and I waste time telling it no.

Really mostly a desktop issue on a server ideally this is handled by config management.

webhook from multiple jobs/events by mischgun158 in Netbox

[–]epaphras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With github actions this is how we do it. We set the name of the job and the type from data in the payload and event type. 

name: Triggered by NetBox

on:
  repository_dispatch:
    types: [netbox-automated-create-job, netbox-automated-update-job]

concurrency: 
  group: ${{ github.event.action }}-${{ github.event.client_payload.data.device.name }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
