“Can you please do it right this time? Pretty please?”

Why not just use what you have until you can afford to and/or need to upgrade? SAS drives are more expensive because they typically offer higher performance and reliability. Hardware raid may be “old” but it’s still very common. The main risk with it is that if your raid card fails, you’ll have to replace it with the same model if you don’t want to rebuild your server from scratch.

I’ve been running an old Dell PowerEdge for several years with no issues.

Ok. There’s clearly been some instances corruption and that warrants concern. On the other hand, this article seems to lack …uh… situational awareness. Foreign countries trying to micromanage the aid they’re providing Ukraine while the country is fighting a full scale war is assinine.

That’s like having to deal with FEMA (which is a huge pain in the ass) while a tornado is ripping through your living room and you’re just trying to not die.

The guy literally only remembers the last conversation he had.

Every photo of him that I’ve seen lately looks like a man who sold his sold his soul to the devil without reading the fine print first. Not that he had much of a soul to begin with. Sorry “little Marco.” Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

US Farmers having the day they voted for:

Self hosting is a great opportunity to learn about some popular technologies and even acquire a few sysadmin skills. Required knowledge of a self-hosted solutions tech stack is not gatekeeping any more than required knowledge of tools and building materials is gatekeeping when it comes to renovating your bathroom. In either scenario, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to be a much more difficult job.

That said, you should not be exposing any of your services to the public if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s a quick way to a bad time.

Land.

He’s just mad that John Tyson hasn’t shown up at the White House with a box of steaks yet.

Trinkets and a little ass kissing are all it takes to passify the toddler in chief.

One time I got written up for stating that “failing to take cyber security seriously creates a massive potential liability” for the company. Apparently that was “out of line.”

Well you know what else is out of line? Critical infrastructure organizations (i.e. utilities) that don’t take security seriously.

I do not miss that dumpster fire.

Imagine being a white Evangelical in Texas of all places and somehow believing that YOU are the one being “discriminated” against.

Orthodox Jesus is willing to overlook the sixth commandment as long as the person you’re murdering is Ukranian.

I use Proxmox for Work and Hyper-V at home. Looking forward to retiring my old Hyper-V host and replace it with Proxmox because Hyper-V is a pain.

Virtualization really helps with reliability. In particular, by allowing you to quickly take snapshots before doing anything destructive and by streamlining backup and recovery.

A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.

I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.

Buying dirt cheap garbage made by slave labor has consequences. Who knew.

With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.

🎶Baddum. Ts.🎶

And here I am running an old Dell Poweredge that probably consumes 10 watts when it’s powered off.
