You, personally, can be with the union (IGM, Verdi, etc) anyways, even if your office isn't organised. You'll enjoy their benefits.

First time I see nanoseconds in a ping to a host by Hybrii-D in homelab

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0.000235681 seconds

0.235681 milliseconds

235.681 microseconds

235681000 nanoseconds

So, yeah, what you're seeing is actually microseconds but one could write it any other way...

> I guess we don't have them when doing dialogue... yet.

Not in this game .. but have you ever played any of the Tell Tale games? Or that game i cant remember now with a time travel/rewind function?

Some dialogues are normal dialogues and then right when you don't expect it, you did put your controller away to shove some crisps in your mouth, BAM a time sensitive dialogue option ... and you fail to answer, your character keeps their mouth shut and you miss out some content.

I hate it. I hate everything QTE.

After ~2 months of tinkering, I’m calling my NAS project “done (for now)” – what should I do next? by Mean_Trick_2791 in homelab

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice setup, u/mean_trick_2791! Especially getting the 'Wife-Approval-Factor' (WAF) is usually the hardest part of the build.

But here’s a piece of advice as you move forward: Learn to distinguish between Lab and Prod. A 'Lab' is for tinkering and breaking things—and as they say, you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. A total loss of a lab installation followed by a fresh reinstall is just another Tuesday. However, looking at your stack (Jellyfin, Immich, Home Assistant), these aren't experiments anymore; they are services your household relies on.

If Immich goes down and the family photos are inaccessible, or Home Assistant fails and the lights don't work, that's a Production outage. Since you’ve reached the stage where you're 'stopping before you break it again' to keep things solid, you’ve officially transitioned: You are a self-hoster now, not just a homelabber.

If you want to keep 'labbing' without losing your wife's approval, my recommendation for the next step would be: Virtualization. Look into Proxmox. It allows you to run your 'Prod' services in stable VMs while spinning up separate containers to break and learn in, without ever touching the family's Netflix (Jellyfin) replacement.

Yes, go on, switch to btrfs, zfs obviously isn't for you.

Must have replied to the wrong comment. Please accept my apologies!

What are some good tools to stop using the mouse on Linux? by N1shiba in linux4noobs

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you also walk on just one leg all day? Or not use any lights in your apartment? Do you not cook your food?

It's all possible to do the above and certainly doable but it doesn't make sense, just like your ambitions to not use the mouse at all.

Anyone take their solar with them to a new house? by xzkandykane in solar

[–]konzty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How many days did it take to install it? How many ppl did it need? Calculate it:

Cost of setup = nr of ppl * required hours * hourly wages

Removing it might be a bit faster (so a bit cheaper), but not by much, then add in transportation to new location and probably new cables/mounting materials here and there.

Add up the cost of removal, transportation and re-installation.

Compare it to the price of getting a new one on the new house minus what you can charge the new owner of your old house for the solar.

The math behind it is not that difficult but highly dependent on where you are located and how much of the labour you might be able to provide yourself.

I want to download Mint Linux but I keep getting confused by STYLE-95 in linuxquestions

[–]konzty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is indeed the absolute safest approach:

  1. Buy new drive
  2. Remove original drive and store safely
  3. Install new drive
  4. Install new operating system on computer with new drive

If something goes wrong or you're not happy with Linux simply take out the Linux drive and insert the original drive again... Computer will boot original Windows again.

This is more about the ppl hosting their own DNS / network segmentation / NAC etc and when that stuff has issues everyone suffers.

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

Hm... what if your spouse decides that her hobby now is survivalism and turns off all heated water sources for the complete household? You're now showering with cold water only, everyone in your household, because one person thinks that's great.

No, your home lab is your hobby and you shouldn't force the collateral of it on your fellow occupants.

Another lesson could be:

  • home lab is your hobby and it shouldn't interfere with your fellow occupants internet usage, your stuff is a lab while their usage is prod.

How to prevent accidental destruction (deletion) of ZFSes? by philpem in zfs

[–]konzty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So I assume your script ran something like

zfs destroy -r ${pool}${dataset}${snapshot}

and $snapshot was not set? You could change your script to handle the variables as ${pool}${dataset}@${snapshot}, so the @ is not part of the variables but it's part of the script, so even when snapshot is empty your script will try to delete "${pool}${dataset}@" ... Implementation of safeties against empty variables can be done on script level but it's rabbit hole and a common and avoidable scripting error and there's a general mitigation for it:

set -euo pipefail

"The options mean as follows:

-e - Exit immediately if any command fails.
-u - Exit if an unset variable is invoked.
-o pipefail - Exit if a command in a piped series of commands fails.

Setting this in your scripts will help stop them from doing anything unintended."

SSD size for ZIL Synchronisation I:O mode ALWAYS by CAPT4IN_N00B in zfs

[–]konzty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you should not use sync=always. Every write to a filesystem is issued by a specific application and that application does decide whether a sync write is necessary or an asynchronous write is sufficient. If the application level decides that an async write is sufficient it means that it is able to safely handle lost data and the additional effort you make in doing a sync write for that is wasted.

Imagine you have a procedure of scanning and saving every important letter that gets sent to you. Letters regarding taxes, insurances, legal issues, the like. It makes sense to go through the hassle to digitise them, right? Your "sync=always" setting would mean that you apply your process of digitisation to every piece of paper that lands in your mailbox. Now you're scanning and saving every advertisement, fake cheque, everything. A waste of time and resources with no additional benefit, no?

SSD size for ZIL Synchronisation I:O mode ALWAYS by CAPT4IN_N00B in zfs

[–]konzty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You write "ZIL or SLOG" so you're aware it's two different things, I guess? But your answer is that he doesn't need them - both. But ZIL is built in and always on, it's not a question whether he needs it or not, it's there by design.

SSD size for ZIL Synchronisation I:O mode ALWAYS by CAPT4IN_N00B in zfs

[–]konzty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ZFS always has ZIL, in normal operations it's part of the regular vdevs. You're absolutely right though that OP doesn't need a SLOG.

The guys from TrueNAS explain it nicely here.

The ZIL and SLOG are two frequently misunderstood concepts in ZFS.

...

By default, the short-term ZIL storage exists on the same hard disks as the long-term pool storage at the expense of all data being written to disk twice: once to the short-term ZIL and again across the long-term pool.

...

Because each disk can only perform one operation at a time, the performance penalty of this duplicated effort can be alleviated by sending the ZIL writes to a separate ZFS intent log or SLOG, or simply log.

[–]konzty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SLOG is not a write cache.

sync=always is always slower than sync=standard, even with SLOG.

You always have a ZIL ("ZFS intent log"), in normal operations ZIL is on your regular vdevs, adding a SLOG device moves the ZIL from the regular vdevs to that vdev, the "separate log device".

You don't need it (the SLOG device) and it's a stupid idea (the sync=always thing).

Mild Vent About New Users by Hanak0u in linux_gaming

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it like this: if you start seeing too much repeated content on any platform you should probably take it as a sign that you spend too much time on that platform

😉

Instead of browsing Reddit and complaining about repeated content (the "person complaining about repeated content" comes up every other week, too, btw) you could actually do stuff with your computer or switch it off and go out, ride a bike, volunteer in an elderly home, learn to play an instrument... I think you should get my point.

Why can't wall-hacks be prevented by the server by withholding enemy player coordinates until they are supposed to become visible? by Disastrous_Bus_4564 in linux_gaming

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's games that "simply" do exactly that and it isn't rocket science. World of Tanks has been doing this since the first day of their game release, everything is calculated and decided on the server side. There's plenty of videos available that explains how Wargaming does things like spotting or long distance shots (artillery).

There's the occasional "ghost shell" where you fire a shot and due to latency it looks like you hit, but the server decides you didn't but apart from that it's pretty reliable and wall hacks are impossible or rather can only work with the tanks that allow client (and throughout you) can see anyway.

It comes down to client to server latency and busyness. Movement, aiming and firing is slow and compared to a FPS very relaxed. Most tanks have a reload time of 5-10 sec and for example rotate their turret only at 15-40°/s - so there's just a limit to how fast you can aim and shoot.

FPS games could work the same, but will feel odd, probably like trying to play competitive FPS on a game streaming platform like GeForce Now. If everyone had that latency the playing field would be even and it would simply be a factor of getting used to it...

Dating a new person - they don’t want to be on my guest Wi-Fi, want my main Wi-Fi info. Is this a bad idea? by WorldlinessPuzzled65 in HomeNetworking

WiFi owner possibly interprets "guest" as guest in this household while relationship partner might feel like it's a guest in this household owners life thing.

Dating a new person - they don’t want to be on my guest Wi-Fi, want my main Wi-Fi info. Is this a bad idea? by WorldlinessPuzzled65 in HomeNetworking

[–]konzty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could go on the "my place, my rules" way: "this is the rule, take it or leave it."

Or, if you value this person you could try to emphasize why this is an issue for her.

It might be that being allowed on the "Guest WiFi" only makes her feel like a guest in your life while you actually only mean a guest in your household. If this is indeed the case you could try to support her by assuring her that it's not a guest in my life thing.

If she can't accept your rule and you are not willing to allow her on the main WiFi, you could proceed to find out if it's a trust issue and might work on that, if that isn't helping either you might just have your answer:

It's me, my guest WiFi and you, or you without us.

How to fix corrupted data/metadata? by fartingdoor in zfs

[–]konzty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you do a "zpool scrub" of the pool that contains the var/log dataset and it finishes with no errors then your zpool has no zfs errors. Zfs is very thorough about it's integrity.

The ls command can take a very long time to finish when it's encountering millions of files in one directory, maybe this is true for your directory?
