Well I’m already a bad programmer, at least I save time /j

And clean the kitchen while you sleep!

linux is easy… to break things. But look at all the amazing things you’ll learn recovering from that!

The pain will pass and the endorphines will be amazing. I should know, I’ve been in similar shit way too many times.

Seems to me the whole argument boils down to “they (the passkeys) are generally saved in proprietary non-communicating stores”, which is fair. But then the problem is not the passkey, it’s the fact that we (as usual) give all our stuff to corps. It’s the eternal struggle of easy of use vs. better security.

I host my own vaultwarden btw 😊

Linux is the family, you’re just meeting different people at the different spots of the buffet

Maybe ask your friends as well, could be a team effort!

There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed “clickOps”, but documentation never updated.

When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I’ve seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

Or they say “oh we need a new VM quickly, we’ll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud”. And guess what, it never happens.

deep breath So I’m not the most star trek nerd by any measure, but I grew up watching the next generation (TNG), but also some of the original star trek series. And then deep space 9 (DS9) and enterprise. Also the one with the one which is not the enterprise and they got lost (forgot the name). But I’ve lost interest with the recent series. So not a uber nerd but I’ve watched quite a bit.

I think starting with the MOVIES of the first series is good. But also starting with the series of TNG is ok.

First questio is: can you ask your home internet provider for ipv6?

Otherwise sign up to tailscale and connect your vps server (and your pc/devices) to it.

Uh interesting. That’s even fancier than I need, I don’t have the space for more than 48" or 50" I think. Thank you a lot for the tip!

The problem is that usually picture quality is not the same.

If there were big monitors with the same color quality and in the same price range I’d do it. But usually large monitors are for signage.

At least that’s what I’ve found.

Yeah you don’t need btrfs, I’ve always done with ext2/3/4

You can do it even after installation https://linuxconfig.org/linux-software-raid-1-setup

You can configure the software raid during installation of Linux, when you define partitions/disks configuration.

And for the love of Linus use punctuation please, makes reading what you write quite hard otherwise!

That article is SO wrong. You don’t run one instance of a tier1 application. And they are on separate DCs, on separate networks, and the firewall rules allow only for application traffic. Management (rdp/ssh) is from another network, through bastion servers. At the very least you have daily/monthly/yearly (yes, yearly) backups. And you take snapshots before patching/app upgrades. Or you even move to containers, with bare hypervisors deployed in minutes via netinstall, configured via ansible. You got infected? Too bad, reinstall and redeploy. There will be downtime but not horrible. The DBs/storage are another matter of course, but that’s why you have synchronous and asynchronous replicas, read only replicas, offsites, etc. But for the love of what you have dear, don’t run stuff on bare metal because “what if the hypervisor gets infected”. Consider the attack vector and work around that.

Incidentally, the European court for human rights said that that law violated the ECHR convention.

The UK said “yeah, so what?”, which since they’ve left the EC it’s legally right, but it’s not a great outlook when you’re told your laws violate human rights.

Good luck https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-25745989

That’s funny, I’ve always thought that it was the guy making the standwich.

Because I’m a guy and I’d totally do it.
