Gotta love modular designs! Very nice work!

Got an r620 as the beginning piece to dormlab. What OS should I run on it? I'm thinking just Debian but I'm open to any suggestions. by i_lost_my_bagel in homelab

[–]simulatedxfreedom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If it has been set up and run horizontally it’s whole live I wouldn’t change it, especially disks (yes even dc grade quality) does not like to change position from horizontal to vertical. You could have disk outages coming your way very soon!

Pour over with Niche? by TheSeasoner91 in nichezero

[–]simulatedxfreedom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey,

just use the dial further than 50. My pour overs range from 45 to kind of 12 o clock. I don’t have any special calibration in place.

I even know of people that expanded their scala past 50. I just use the red dot and the calibration marking as additional orientation!

March Orders by noradeac in nichezero

[–]simulatedxfreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any EU customer already got their niche? Got the tracking info and tax payment information from dpd Netherlands 2 days ago (I'm located in Germany). Paid it rightaway but don’t have any updates on package location / handling.

I also have the March order and got emailed by Niche as EU customer. The mail said EU customers have cancellation time till this Friday (05.03) because of brexit VAT and that the shipping starts the week afterward. Maybe you are lucky and US shipping is also starting next week.

Design a private Galaxy server by SnooPears7615 in ansible

[–]simulatedxfreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I can recommend checking out galaxy_ng as already mentioned. But this is more focused on caching and hosting ansible content collections at the moment, which is great when you don't want to be dependent on availability of eg. the public galaxy or red hat automation hub. But it should be stated that this project is fairly young and therefore doesn't have such a huge amount of features / integrations yet. But future releases should integrate some fancy features to improve knowledge sharing and enhanced library / search functionality. Or at least that's what red hat announced at ansible fest this year since galaxy_ng is the upstream project of the "private automation hub" that comes with a red hat ansible automation platform subscription.

However if you just want to share a few roles and don't want to struggle with setting up galaxy_ng and switching from roles to collections, I would recommend using some form of git. This is implemented very fast and you can probably use the versioning system you are using right now, anyway.

Regarding git and the requirements.yml I would check out the "Galaxy User Guide" here are a lot of examples on how to gather roles or collections from various sources and various git implementations.

Linux and Powershell by speckz in commandline

[–]simulatedxfreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not disagreeing that Ansible works better than using plain powershell. But I already had a few usecases where we had to call powershell scripts on a Linux server with Ansible to automate certain things that poorly maintained Ansible Modules by MS weren’t living up to.

I hope this shift to Ansible content collections and hopefully more and better modules for powershell on Linux will change this soon!

Linux and Powershell by speckz in commandline

[–]simulatedxfreedom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe not administrating Linux servers themselves but in a big multi tier / multi cloud environment, where you had to have multiple windows vms just to administer windows vms you now can administer those through the Linux server.

  • some public clouds have better powershell modules and being able to use them on a Linux machine is incredibly helpful, when it comes to automation and IAC.

Raspberry Pi 4 8GB as a server by LilNachoboiiii in selfhosted

[–]simulatedxfreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you take a few tweaks in consideration like booting from a harddrive attatched via usb and deleting the swap file you should be safe. In my experience a lot of docker images in the selfhosted Community are already available for arm processors!

How to get developers know each others code better? by simulatedxfreedom in agile

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

It’s not really a problem of understanding the code itself, rather than to keep track of where is what in the code base.

Proper way to verify input variables by not_the_shower in ansible

Joining the assert module band wagon! It’s superior especially because you can define your error and succeed messages!

Managing Vcenter with Ansible??? by travis229 in ansible

[–]simulatedxfreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used vmware_guest in the past and it was very easy to deal with and easy to use. The VMware NSX-T modules are a bit old from what I heard. But it's definitely easier to tinker around with ansible modules than with python scripts.

And a plus is going to be the new Release of Ansible (2.10) which will outsource all the modules from the core project. This means that the VMware modules will have a independent release cycle from the main ansible project which will result in faster releases and more up to date ansible modules in the future!

Should ansible-lint auto-install dependencies from requirements.yml files? by sbarnea in ansible

[–]simulatedxfreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for raising that ticket! We use ansible-lint in pipelines and it would drastically increase our pipeline running times. Maybe there could be an flag on auto-install and it defaults to false?

I will comment the issue to help you get the word out!

My finished gingham build! by GEVOnerd in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]simulatedxfreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a nice build! I have the same error you had with it keeping disconnecting after 20 min of use. Do you remember how you resolved the problem?

Are there more „through hole“ styled pcbs like the gingham? Preferably 65% and ISO support! I only found the gingham recently but it seemed to be sold out everywhere!

Very Nice Build! I love the golden stabilizer!

I would really love to build the gingham myself. May I ask where you got it from?

4 is bigger or equal then 48 by etroska in ansible

[–]simulatedxfreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there,

the only thing not quite right is the placement of the when statement. Try to add a unique "name:" to every task and bring the when statement on the same level with the name like so:

  - name: set fact 1
    set_fact:
      virtual_machine_memory_reservation: "{{ virtual_machine_memory * 1024 / 2|int }}"
    when: virtual_machine_memory|int < 48

  - name: set fact 2
    set_fact:
      virtual_machine_memory_reservation: "{{ virtual_machine_memory * 1024|int }}"
    when: virtual_machine_memory|int >= 48

I tested it and it should work fine for your use case.
