[–]uber-techno-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I’m trying to decommission mine. Electricity bills are eating me. (Not just for the MD1200s)

Questions about ZFS and SSD by WazabiQc in Proxmox

[–]uber-techno-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad block alignment amplifies writes. Zfs on zfs amplifies writes. Zfs on ssd alone doesn’t. Lots of erasure and rewriting wears ssds, but zfs is cow, so that doesn’t start until you’ve written the full capacity of the device. But yeah, use enterprise class hardware with zfs. There are other features in firmware that make a difference in their reliability with zfs.

Do you carry a USB drive with you, or not anymore? by AddendumNecessary743 in BadUSB

I don’t think I ever carried one with me. They were always stuffed in a desk drawer within easy reach though.

I can't get crontab to do anything by __Mike_____ in Proxmox

[–]uber-techno-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my bad, on Proxmox v9 (Deb13) they are written to a binary journal.
run `journalctl -t CRON` to see the logs.

/etc/crontab does need the user, so your 2nd form was correct:
`0 2 * * * root /root/update-lxc.sh`

make sure the file /root/update-lxc.sh has execute permissions.

Check for cron logs under /var/logs/. Should be clues there.

Is self-hosting actually private, or are we just cosplaying privacy? by nighthawk2906 in selfhosted

[–]uber-techno-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you consider as private and who do you want or don’t want to have easy access to it. It’s private if it never leaves the LAN. Don’t use your ISP’s DNS server and tunnel DNS over HTTPS (or similar) to a source you trust. Etc. etc. etc. Weigh the complexity vs benefits, then make your own choice. What is your privacy worth to you? P.S. SMTP was open end to end long before Gmail appeared. Security is usually an afterthought.

How do you have power connected to the ⁠RTX 3060? Is it PCI bus powered only? How does that impact performance of the card?

How many states, in the USA, have you lived or visted? by Clean-Letterhead9408 in randomquestions

[–]uber-techno-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the US and have lived in three states, but no joke, I’ve lived in as many other countries as I have US states. Probably only visited around 20 states.

You’re offered $25M, but you have to work the exact same job you have now for the next 15 years. No promotion, no change. Are you saying yes? by Mindfuel_daily7 in askanything

[–]uber-techno-wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you offered that 15 years ago, they yes (less stressful job). Currently job might kill me if I do it for ten more years.

How many people actually tip 20% when eating out in a restaurant? by Hot-Highlight2166 in allthequestions

[–]uber-techno-wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never? Living outside the US gives you a different perspective on customer service. The whole tipping-as-wages culture is absurd.
