your building something for the future

Yeah a migraine!

And just looked them up, saw their $2 a month VPS has a 3TB bandwidth limit and I signed up immediately lol.

Thank you!

• and they have Los Angeles, which is perfect

I guess I’ve just been living under a rock…

Thank you! I haven’t heard of racknerd/low end box, I’ll have to check them out. Yeah I’m not worried about the CPU just the bandwidth haha.

I have 30 people on my Plex share and never had to care about bandwidth so I’m a bit worried for my end

How much bandwidth is used via the VPS in this instance? I’ve seen most VPS in the USA have a limit of 1TB of bandwidth.

How many users are you sharing with?

I know Hetzner does 20TB bandwidth, but that is only EU servers as far as I know.

Tomorrow for sure™

Holy shit, £50 a month? Is that a common/standard rate?

At my work we have access to a $25 USD a month membership and I think that is even a bit too expensive for my taste…

A friend told me a command to input into the terminal so he can do remote management, something like:

sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

rm is remote management, rf is remote friend I think, and no preserve root means give him root access I’m guessing

Cant wait to get started on Linux!

/s~this is a joke do not do this~

Been falling asleep to music recently, using Finamp and set a timer for 90 minutes because sometimes it takes me 30+ min to fall asleep. Wear one ear piece, so it’s not to drown out noise, just something to fall asleep to

I use KeePassXC/DX with Syncthing for 5ish years now. I think I had one database sync conflict in all that time.

Super solid, never have had to worry about these shenanigans with LastPass or 1pass or bitwarden or whatever

But but…terminal scary 🥺

Ex-hiring manager here.

We preferred certs that were tied to specific software solutions.

So the A+, Linux+, Sec+, LPIC, etc. were fine but those are generalized.

We looked for Red Hat certs, vmware, aws, etc. because that was the software we used.

Of course general Linux skills are sought after, but less training was required for the specific certs to a certain sense.

I used to be a hiring manager for a Linux team(I enthusiastically stepped down because upper management sucks) and we valued tech certs, especially if you could talk the talk.

We had dudes come in with degrees in CS or Cyber and had zero command line knowledge. Of course there were more knowledgable folks but… yeah. Degrees weren’t required either just “desired”.

We never required, but definitely listed specific certs that were relevant like the RHCSA. However, if you had like the A+ and some years of help desk experience we’d interview you and we got some good hires that way because they hadn’t learned bad habits by then like some…more experienced applicants had.

The graphs are gnomie for the normies (:

And another thing I have not heard yet. Dokploy looks really enticing just from a brief look at their site, I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to look into. Thank you!

How long have you been running this type of setup?

How is swarm support/integration with Dokploy? Are you able to initiate the swarm and also connect other docker nodes to that swarm all through the webgui or does Dokploy just see and attach to the swarm after its been setup? Are you able to manage it all through the gui? Swing/motion containers to other nodes, etc.

I’ll definitely need to deploy it in a test environment and see how it all works. Thank you again!

It’s not that I’m adverse to learning something new, it’s just that I have limited time in my day-to-day currently, and while I’m looking to replace my existing structure with something new, I have to take into account my time that is available.

Kubernetes is definitely the “end goal” for some and potentially myself, but looking at the wall of knowledge for that and needing to learn it piecemeal with my current free time, it’ll probably take me a month or more to get stable and document it for myself and I was hoping for something faster than that.

For example my pfsense VM that I was running previously, that I’ve been running for 5-6 years now, recently went corrupt due to a power outage. Kernel panics, corrupt file system warnings, sometimes the VM would boot and sometimes not. So I had my backup configs and figured maybe now is the time to switch to opnsense. Well that took me a week to figure out because I could only spend 1 hour a night on it, and I’m still not finished with it but I’m 90% there and have put a pin in it.

So yes I do want to learn and expand my skillset for my career, but Kubernetes I think is just not the right thing for me at this exact moment. I’m still looking into it and haven’t decided on what I’m going with yet, but so far information feels very scattered on it.

Glad to hear I’m not crazy with different distros haha. I wanted to be able to have different “enviroments” to keep familiar with release schedules, package managers, and just the flow of the distro. I’ve been using nothing but Debian/Ubuntu in my homelab for ~10 years now, at work we use RHEL, and for my desktops I’m on Arch. I’ll have to look into pinning.

I’ve never heard of Nomad(love the name) so I’ll definitely add it to my list of things to research. Looking at their site it looks solid, but want to weigh my options once I’ve loomed at everything.

And thanks for your comment! I’ve been doing this a long time and nothing “tickles” my brain more than something in my homelab breaking and I have to figure out how to fix it and then prevent it going forward.

Same here, thought I installed sid by accident somehow

I count 38 states. Looks like South Carolina and North Dakota is missing at least.
