I like the community around OPN more than that around PFS, but functionally they're very similar. PFS acquiesced on dropping support for non-AES-NI CPUs. ERX is cheap and functional as fw but not terribly powerful as a router, as others have said.…

At least with ZXHost, Ashley had some initial communication about his recovery efforts. He just didn't have sufficient spare capacity to rebalance lost OSDs. Since that time, ceph best practices and reference implementations have increased recomme…

I've been using single-device btrfs for many years without issue. Config management (ansible) makes it very easy to blow away and recreate root, so I no longer worry about drive failure for root. Application data are either on single disks with auto…

Keepass on Nextcloud for me. I do want pass to succeed, but it's not yet as featureful as KP or BW. It makes sense to think of encrypted storage as one thing, sync as another, browser autofill as yet another, etc.

I'd think the root issue is systemd-networkd-wait-online finishing too early. VM networking using bridge mode? DHCP enabled in /etc/network/interfaces in the VM? If so, networking.service is the unit that reads that and brings up the interface; it …

Welcome Mason and mikho as our new admin team! And thanks Ant for giving this place a solid footing in atmosphere and parameters. Regarding the financial side of LES, my 2c is to maybe consider alternatives to runcloud and CF (bunny, perhaps?), as…

I assume the client and server can ping each other over the VPN. Firewall on the server? smb.conf / [global] / interfaces? How are clients to login to the samba server?

All the best with Syno; I can empathise with wanting set-and-forget usability, especially for your NAS. SHR is basically just btrfs on mdadm. I second the Unraid suggestion; there's a free trial, and it really is very easy to use. Complete flexibil…

Congrats Ant on preparing for IH's long-term future and gaining flexibility for your own future endeavours. I can empathise with not wanting to feel stuck in a rut!

Catching up here; it seems to me that all these wonderful ideas to lower operating costs of LES would be great topics for a paid admin or paid dev (i.e., someone with more availability than Ant) to investigate. Any takers?
-
Thanks, Ant, for the memoir. Except for the idea to expand NAT LES to help third-world users (which would have been really interesting!), everything else was not a surprise to those of us who've been around LEB/LET for a while. I'd be in favour of …

What do you want from your storage? Web interface and WebDAV? Nextcloud. Windows remote mount? Samba over Wireguard / OpenVPN. Fancy distributed fault-tolerant stuff? Gluster, minio, Tahoe, Moose, etc.

(Quote) @freerangecloud has regularly-priced VMWare in Vancouver (Harbour Centre, I think?). DC space in western Canada isn't cheap. If Seattle works for you, that may be an alternative.

I've had an 0.5TB biennial plan with them since very early days, grandfathered 1Gbps and (slightly) higher iops, still OVZ6 to this day. Only used them for last-resort DR with a remote-dmcrypted loopback device. It's slow and has had short downtime,…

I'm running k3s 1.19 on my home lab, yes. I haven't gotten to the point of building a cluster of VPSes yet (but I plan to). On home lab I have 128GB of RAM per node and plenty of disk, and so haven't paid much attention to install size.
-
K3s 1.19 has now reverted to using etcd just like upstream kubernetes. For a long while they didn't have HA, then they tried dqlite, then just gave in to using etcd. You can still use external DB if you like.
-
I agree that k8s is the way forward instead of swarm, but there are still a lot of swarm installations out there. Just a small correction: no pod without a matching tolerance is scheduled on nodes with a given taint. The terminology is super confus…

Thanks Tom, I love chatting about editors; I think the UX of software dev is so important! All those little quality-of-life improvements help smooth over the tedious busywork and reduce interruptions to the flow of thought. I was pretty heavily int…
-
Probably best way to do that is via CPU request
-
Excellent pricing for storage!
-
I agree that doing things incrementally and planning on a long-term relationship has the best chance of a positive outcome for the front-line folks that'll be using the system. Baby steps, low-lying fruit, and easy wins. As with most such projects,…

2FA via PAM should work just fine in combination with pubkey auth for ssh
-
I think LES is doing well as it is. I don't think there's a need to chase after more traffic, just let it continue to grow organically. Deals will naturally bring in folks. I'm also undecided about more newbie tutorials; DO, Linode, etc have that pr…

There's always buster-backports, too. My laptop is running buster but with the backports kernel, in-tree wireguard, managed by systemd-networkd.
-
Debian bullseye also uses kernel 5.7, which includes wireguard in-tree (as of 5.6), so no dkms needed.
-
IIRC they had a similar deal before for .ink, which is another TLD they own.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Open-Frame-Server-Rack/dp/B00P1RJ9LS How much depth do you have to work with? R210ii, CSE-512, and similar are around 16" rack depth, but most full servers need 26-30" for the rails. Network and A/V rac…
