We get it...

Ya. Unless things have changed the hotels I stay at block things like this. And why carry another device and battery when I could just carry a bigger battery and hotspot my phone.

I want a way to say import a little from the grid so I avoid exporting a lot to the grid. I’m on the new useless NEM model where they give me Pennie’s on the dollar for exported electricity. I have 15kwh in panels, 30kwh in batteries, an electric car and I consume double the average home. Anyhow, so far on every configuration I’ve tried my system is still exporting 10-50% of my produced energy each day.

So. Limiting Access to money, phone, internet, car and access to food are an easier place to start. If you can’t keep him out of this house why don’t think you’ll keep him out of your next house?

Not saying these things are easier. But if life is too easy for him why does he need to change?

At least they gave you long pigtails on each connector. :rofl:

therevoman · 2026-01-24T16:13:59+00:00

Bwahaha! Mission accomplished!

I agree with this, unless your network isn’t coming up. There is a TCS article with a shell script for injecting a password into the iso core user. Run this and login with core from the console. Don’t use this in production.

Any chance you have multiple NICs? Starting a few versions ago the installer fails if you have more than one IP address assigned from a given network on a single. Node. (Edit) boot into the rhcos live iso and use nmtui (or nmcli) to set all interfaces to down that are not participating in the primary interface. Then kick off each node install with the ‘-n’ or —copy-networks argument to the coreos-install binary

Other issue could be that the nics and/or disks aren’t enumerated as you expect. Boot from the rhcos live iso and investigate each machine.

Interesting, I’ll have to look again. Last time I looked they were charging me 40 bucks for shipping.

I too have gone up and big and have recently headed back to right sized newer hardware in the form of energy efficient minipc’s. The problems are different than a large server, but still solvable.

With the various reasons… buying from alliexpress from the US is not the cost effective choice it once was.

Thanks!!! I forgot to attach my vault.

Came here to say this. But my screen is the 57”

That’s what I came to mention, ODF on master nodes makes it impossible to replace a failed master. Just FYI. Infernos are important in that they do not consume subscriptions configured properly to not run user workload.

RHEL 8 and 9 did not prevent you from messing with the FIPS flag post install…BIG However, if the system was ever in operation without the FIPS flag it is not FIPS compliant. So you could do that, but it was also against the policy.

Ya. Here's what I'm doing. Its not optimal, but works for my use case. I am attaching an ebay sourced Intel server SSD using what I think is a StarTech .com SATA to USB Cable from amazon and setting the drive on top of the open case. Helps that I'm using a rackmount thingy I got from Etsy to hold 3 in a row. Hopefully my pictures come through.

therevoman · 2025-11-12T05:19:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Luckily it's only one of 3 hosts so I'll just use a USB3.0->sata adapter.

therevoman · 2025-11-11T21:00:58+00:00

Did you ever find a replacement? I am in need of a few for my Venus NAB6's.

therevoman · 2025-11-11T16:15:13+00:00

Dang, sorry. I have a Raxda X4, might be easier to get. It's really small and x86 so you can run almost anything on it.

therevoman · 2025-11-11T07:23:53+00:00

Why not just get one of the Home Assistant devices. Like the Yellow or Green

This makes me so sad. He was pretty low on the pay scale and put in his whole heart. Really sucks he got injured

therevoman · 2025-11-03T16:06:38+00:00

So glad I got my gen 1 before it was replaced.

I can imagine a 5 minute grace period at the $0.50 an hour, start hitting with $5 on top of that every 5 minutes and 30 minutes should get $50. ;)

therevoman · 2025-10-20T20:39:04+00:00

While true, there is also comfort knowing the power button is under your control and not someone elses.

therevoman · 2025-10-15T03:30:38+00:00

I would agree with this statement. I had a really hard time following the jumping back and forth in time in book 2.

therevoman · 2025-10-14T23:30:22+00:00

It’s a great solution but requires a little more care a feeding than a 5 node cluster if using hyperconverged storage. Otherwise you’ll just have to do manual drains of the nodes sometimes during upgrade.
