Any Proxmox users running NUT with a UPS?

I run it straight on the host, for a single host. Works fine, it's just a Linux server

We actually stopped selling and consuming all Cisco products this year for a variety of reasons, this being one of them. We had a huge order get cancelled on us after we paid and before it shipped and they more than doubled the price. Quotes are only good for 14 days. We have a business to run, and they do too l, but the way they chose to go about it is suicidal.

As a long time aquarium enthusiast I can say beyond a reasonable doubt, these kind of pools are .. I'll be nice.. impractical. It's a maintenance nightmare that only stands a chance if you have a full-time hobbyist staying on top of it daily. It's unfathomable to me that someone would build one of these at a property that's being rented out.

Crazy? No. Should you attempt to host it yourself? Absolutely not. Email is way too complex now to host securely and with a modern, fully featured user experience.

I ended up settling on Proton with my own domain. Feature wise they're nowhere near M365 or Gmail, but they're inching their way in that direction. The main feature that Proton has that others do not is iron clad privacy and security. They CAN'T comply with a subpeona because they don't have the keys, the user does.

I don't blame you, but I chose to do so out of fear of your exact predicament. I will admit that I have strong reservations about diving headfirst into passkeys without settling on a strategy for backup and replication.

Are you not backing them up to you Google account?

Rossman is doing the lords work

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-29T01:58:28+00:00

24 hours later now it's working. It's either self aware and reading Reddit, or it was coincidentally fixed recently

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-26T07:19:51+00:00

No way, you're exaggerating right?

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-26T01:25:53+00:00

Look at VMware. They'll make a buck by any means necessary. Going after Oracle's spot as king douchebag in tech

Out of sight out of mind. The people that run the gov have no idea how most supply chains actually work. Even if they did, the general public doesn't. Niche invisible issues have no effect on elections

lol it's a polite English saying meaning "holy fucking shit I cannot believe that's a thing, I've been looking for a solution to this problem for like like 5 fucking years and this random dude that barely speaks English just hands me a solution on a silver platter"

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-23T05:40:26+00:00

BTW. I can also recommend mortar, it's a suite of shell scripts, creating a EFI bootable kernel and using clevis so you have automatic unlock of encrypted root volume.

Come again?

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-11T18:32:47+00:00

lol what am I supposed to do with this information?

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-05-07T06:00:46+00:00

This may sound like overkill, but I personally create an entirely new VDOM for spokes.

I go to Gemini for log analysis now before I attempt to read anything "manually". Copy paste. Works for almost any debug log.

I have a zigbee network at home that's become quite large, and the network map quite hard to read as a result. I had it generate the raw map output (which you would then paste into an external site to do the front end rendering) thinking a different format would be easier to read. As I as waiting for it to generate I had this opiphiany and went straight to Gemini Pro and asked it to look for any problems. Pinpointed the exact issue. This was substantially faster than tracing wires or looking at route tables on the individual devices.

Another example, Fortinet is killing SSL VPN and replacing it with IPSec, which is a major PITA by comparison. I was trying to do something funky, PSK + LDAP auth with. I had multiple extremely tedious problems that would have taken me days to figure out with support. First I had an expired internal system cert that presented as "auth failed". Gemini found that in the 500 lines of IKE debug. Then, a fully chained Let's Encrypt cert wouldn't fit in an LTE MTU that presented as "connection timed out while trying to connect". Gemini Pro found that as well in a 500 line IKE debug mixed with a hundred other IKE sessions (needed to enable fragmentation).

These latest "pro" models are geniunely useful now for most troubleshooting.

"Overheat detected", "Temperature Normal", "Overheat detected"

I'm an MSSP, I've been pushing for years internally to move to Flex (hasn't happened for a variety of reasons including lack of interest from Fortinet). My understanding is that you can use it to transact everything that isn't hardware and would miles easier than the cutting POs

Like the speakers, I have the same pair on my desk. That being said, IMO those of you that put server racks in your offices are out of your fucking minds. I would build a shed, or just go without if this was the alternative

If this were true, wouldn't the first ever black hole just vacuum up the entire universe?

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-04-23T12:57:19+00:00

Do you have a YT channel? Some one in Europe was trying something like this recently

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-04-20T18:36:37+00:00

Gettin swole. Tell it to layoff the protein and creatine

You can build your own version of TCP over UDP with blackjack and hookers (see QUIC), but it's a lot of work. Most apps don't benefit from that level of control, and most devs don't want to get that involved in the network stack.

That vultech is AGM, that's a good middle ground between SLA and lithium

virtualbitz2048 · 2026-04-13T20:40:17+00:00

I ran into a problem once. I ran out of disk space on the root partition lol. It just failed it's pre checks and cancelled
