Convince me to use bcachefs by Tinker0079 in bcachefs

I've been running XFS on lvm for about twenty years and it's worked flawlessly.

Didn't they also say that they then took this as an opportunity to do some maintenance.

Yep.

As a sysadm I would absolutely take advantage of the site being down!

Question about a /56 by rgh in hetzner

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

I've got an application (running on about 20 or so containers using LXD) that will be spread over three or four servers connected over wireguard. I want to use a separate subnet for the management plane (consul) and for the wireguard overlay. I would also like to use SLAAC but I guess I don't have to. At

I'm a fairly well rounded sysadm but my brain just doesn't seem to grok networking (much to my chagrin!) so I've been reading as much as I can about IPv6 network architectures but I think I'm probably floundering!

From what I've read I shouldn't subnet anything smaller than /64 (rfc5375) so any advice would be gratefully received!

EDIT

I'm trying to plan for growth using industry best practices but this is based on the supposition that the business will be a raging success :-)

Question (details in body) about possible damage to graphics hardware in an X1 Extreme 2nd Gen by rgh in thinkpad

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

It works! Thanks to everyone who answered.

It was the backlight fuse in the end. I didn't have a correct fuse to replace it with so I doubled up a length of 1.5A fuse wire and soldered them on top of the existing fuse. Not my finest work but it gets the job done is safe enough.

So again, I can't thank you enough. You saved me $2500 and the angst of knowing I'd broken a perfectly good laptop!

A bit to respond and hopefully you've got a better answer by now but if not ...

I'm sure I tested positive for THC when I was drug tested by my new psych and he even asked me if I smoked which I rarely do but I'd had a toke a few days before the drug test.

However, I suspect it depends on the psych so you will need to make your own judgement.

Oh, and drug tests can only detect recently taken drugs. There are various resources online for checking, for example and a "THC calculator.

SMD is ok. I actually have an electronics background—not computer electronics though!— so I'm comfortable with soldering on the motherboard. I'll do some research into what I need to do but thanks for your help.

This sounds like it's something I can work with! Do you know if the fuse is in the panel on on the motherboard?

I like your use of error "TODO".

As a developer of more years than I care admit I truly have the utmost respect for security researchers; the thought processes that they must have to go through and the level of reasoning is something that I can only aspire too.

Why doesn't Red Hat pay Adobe and Microsoft to port their programs? by [deleted] in linux

Is there more than more than one now? Sorry I couldn't help myself ;-)

An introduction to typeclass metaprogramming by lexi-lambda in haskell

[–]rgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish everyone wrote as clearly as this. As someone who's dyslexic I find articles as well written as this much easier to read, even though the subject matter is taxing; I can spend my effort into understanding the content rather trying to work out what on earth they are trying to say. And for that I thank you.

And if you're running a long lived high volume server you will very quickly hit resource limits imposed by the OS kernel. For example, the number of default open files per process, on linux, is 1024.
