What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server?

I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge R730 at a killer price, and intend it to be the cornerstone of my home lab. I plan to use it as both a NAS and a container server so I can set up whatever I want with it. I'm a bit unsure of what a good setup here looks like, so I'm hoping for a bit of guidance....

catloaf ,

How do you want to access the files? Browser, SMB, NFS, iSCSI, app like syncthing?

If it were mine, I'd put all the drives in RAID 10, install Proxmox, and either use its containers or create a VM to run docker and give it a big virtual disk.

But the dell controllers aren't very flexible with resizing the RAID. If you want flexibility, consider flashing it to IT mode if possible and then doing zfs, software raid, or LVM groups.

Anyone want to take odds on someone stealing and smoking it, then blaming rats as an excuse for why it's gone?

catloaf ,

This. I feel like watching Das Boot. Okay, it streams on Fubo. Maybe I'll watch K-19. No, that one is on Peacock. The Hunt for Red October? No, it's on HBO Max.

Do they really expect me to subscribe to all those different services when I could just put it into Radarr and have it a few minutes later?

catloaf ,

To successfully do that, it takes a couple years of groundwork. And it's harder in a parliamentary system, because you don't really pick a leader, you pick parties, and the party picks a leader from their own members.

Not that the CIA would want to. I'd bet they share a lot of intelligence about common adversaries.

US intelligence report states Netanyahu’s viability to lead Israel is in jeopardy | CNN Politics ( www.cnn.com )

The US intelligence community assesses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “viability as a leader” to be “in jeopardy,” according to its annual report on the national security threats facing the United States that was presented to Congress on Monday....

Directly, no. Indirectly, he and his party absolutely created the conditions that lead to the current situation.

After all, why start a war, when you can get your target to start one for you so you can play the victim?

catloaf ,

If it doesn't already, that's probably going to put you in the high-risk group with other car modders.

catloaf ,

Can you put the second SSID on a different subnet and block the traffic between them on your router?

catloaf ,

Have you looked at the debug log? Or even what you pasted? It tells you what it's missing (though this part doesn't go into the whys).

catloaf ,

Does the debug log not have more info?

catloaf ,

Did you replace your domain with mydomain.duckdns.org in the logs, or did you just not configure the client with your domain? I'm not sure how it would have ever worked if that was the case, though. Either way, it tells you the DNS challenge record is missing.

supermarket club cards

Hey I'm sure you all know how sketchy club cards are for collecting your data. But I do begrudge paying slightly higher prices just for valuing my privacy. I was wondering if there was any way to sign up to these things whilst limiting the data they have access to. Would it be enough to sign up with fake details and never use...

catloaf ,

The whole point of giving you the discount is how they pay for the data. It wouldn't make sense for them to give you a discount without getting the data.

catloaf ,

I would script this yourself with ffmpeg or something.

But I would expect that the different versions wouldn't have audio in sync.

catloaf ,

It might get pretty close. But even assuming both versions use the same movie cut, any differences in encoding along the chain between the rip and you can result in desync. It might be subtle at the beginning, but one frame every few seconds adds up over two hours. For example, the difference between 30fps and 29.97fps after two hours is a very noticeable 7.2 seconds.

Study finds American trust in scientific expertise survived polarization and previous administration's attack on science ( phys.org )

A new analysis shows that trust in scientific expertise among the American public remained high during the last six decades and that the Trump administration attacks on scientific expertise did not modify the basic confidence of Americans in science and scientific expertise....

Okay, but are we talking real science or Dr. Oz science?

Well, Israel already did, back in the six-day war...

Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles ( www.polygon.com )

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim...

catloaf ,

I don't think any games have been completely removed from Steam. In cases like this, they stop new purchases, but anyone who already has it keeps it.

catloaf ,

Any game that uses Steamworks or other DRM will not be playable offline (without first putting Steam into offline mode, for Steamworks games, maybe others).

Lewiston, Maine mass shooter had traumatic brain injuries, new scan finds ( www.nbcnews.com )

I don't think there's a specific kind. All of them are not good for the brain.

The job applicants shut out by AI: ‘The interviewer sounded like Siri’ ( www.theguardian.com )

When Ty landed an introductory phone interview with a finance and banking company last month, they assumed it would be a quick chat with a recruiter. And when they got on the phone, Ty assumed the recruiter, who introduced herself as Jaime, was human. But things got robotic....

I've definitely used chatgpt to sketch a cover letter. I wouldn't waste my time applying to a job that required one otherwise.

Natural selection at work! (Because the ones that were vulnerable to radiation are already dead.)

Don't. Just fucking don't. Keep your personal stuff off your work equipment and vice versa. I don't know why people keep wanting to do this, because it only leads to trouble.

At least 413 Palestinians killed in the same way that I had at least one spoonful of ice cream last night

Install docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/centos/

Then running a container is just same as installing an RPM, except you don't have to download it first. You just docker run the container.

You can probably get regular old packages for a lot of stuff, but a lot of stuff is packaged as containers because it makes everything easier for both the maintainer and the user.

In-line context functionality [Feature Request]

Kind of like how you can do [in-line links](to link people to a website), allow the user to use the same syntax to create contextual information that appears when the [user mouses over](Similar to alt-text on an image). This way users who know the context won't have to slog through a tedious wall of text while those who don't...

Sounds like something the collapsible spoiler can do.

LVM, mdraid, dm-crypt? LVM will let you make volumes and pools of basically any shape or size.

Just curl a bunch of sites at random times? Under https, everything in the URL except the domain is encrypted, so it'll look roughly like a regular user requesting a page.

Israeli tank in 'likely scenario' fired machine gun at reporters after deadly shelling, report finds ( www.reuters.com )

BEIRUT/THE HAGUE, March 7 (Reuters) - An Israeli tank crew killed a Reuters reporter in Lebanon in October by firing two shells at a clearly identified group of journalists and then "likely" opened fire on them with a heavy machine gun in an attack that lasted 1 minute and 45 seconds, according to a report into the incident...

Sometimes they kill them anyway.

They haven't gotten the money yet, and they probably never will get the full amount.

They probably won't even be taking anyone else to court, either. Ryujinx will probably make major changes or shut down entirely to avoid getting sued in the first place.

The Trump administration was well known for its chaotic, often-erratic approach to policymaking — and for its atmosphere of paranoia, where staffers regularly spilled their colleagues’ secrets and bureaucratic factions often spent as much energy attacking one another as addressing matters of state. It’s impossible to know how much of that was fueled by the widespread availability of drugs like Xanax and Provigil.

That reminds me of another government known for paranoia, backstabbing, and drug abuse.

Treats?

The cynic in me says that's perfectly human behavior, though

Google is a data and advertising company. What did you expect?

They would be quite happy to get that information from you, yes.

A lot of stuff on there isn't worth buying either, like anything from APC. If you want good stuff, just get Eaton.

But also you have to understand that UPSes aren't set and forget. The batteries need replacement every 3-5 years. And they're not for extended outages, they're mostly to bridge the gap between mains power going out and a generator starting up.

Personally I just have everything running from docker-compose, so I run one command and everything not running gets started. I don't worry about stuff being down for a bit.

catloaf ,

Yes. An online/double-conversion UPS will be the most effective, because it actually runs off the battery the whole time, so it's disconnected from any line quality issues.

A line-interactive UPS is cheaper, but doesn't do full power conditioning.

An offline UPS doesn't do any at all, only comes online when power drops.

US says Israel has agreed to the framework for a Gaza cease-fire. Hamas must now decide ( apnews.com )

International mediators have been working for weeks to broker a deal to pause the fighting before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins around March 10. A deal would likely allow aid to reach hundreds of thousands of desperate Palestinians in northern Gaza who aid officials worry are under threat of famine....

catloaf ,

Does it say that Israel will stop oppressing Palestine? No? Then I don't think Hamas will agree.

What file, what format, what codecs? Web interface do the same? Does it show up in a screenshot? During transcoding or direct play? What if you play the file with another program?

I'd guess something about HDR.

Any program can be a screensaver if it changes the screen when the computer is idle.

Android Microphone Snooping ( lemmy.world )

So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root...

catloaf ,

This. It's a form of cognitive bias. You notice when you see ads for something you've been thinking about, but you don't notice the dozens of other times you get ads for things that are completely irrelevant to you. If they were actually doing it, you'd notice it happening all the time.

catloaf ,

Because human observations are notoriously unreliable. Show me data.

catloaf ,

*harkens, but perhaps you wanted "yearns", because harken means listen.

States can make state law that is more restrictive than federal law.
