Thst seems like a good option. Ive got some test beds to try it out on
Yes of course. So BSD Truenas is dead? That is a True shame, as BSD is rock steady reliable and runs on truly ancient hardware just fine.
Even if the virtualized router is down, I’ll still have access to the physical server over the network until the DHCP lease expires. The switch does the work of delivering my packets on the LAN, not the router.
Yes, of course it depends on your network topology. If you have a link in the same subnet you’re good (and can configure a static IP if need be). But if you’re using vlans you can get in a pickle if the router is down. In my setup everything on the user side is segregated so if the router goes down I have to take a dedicated management laptop and plug into the host management network directly on the management switch where i keep a port empty. This maintains segregation and in practices means I take my ancient Acer Aspire One used for nothing else into the server room that looks strangely like a laundry room and plug it in.
It works great as long as you have a method to access the server directly when the router machine is down. A laptop set to a static IP on the same subnet will let you access the host when you b0rk something. Keep a backup config on that machine It’s pretty great though. Just remember pfsense won’t support more than 7 external interfaces when you start getting crazy with vlans
Super lame. BSD is very preferable for core systems like this.
They were Openstack since the beginning. When did they go to VMWare?
Core is still getting updates?i got one last week.
Second Hamstudy app. Also it isnt super trivial but I heard there was a six year old that passed so YMMV I found it a decent amount of work but nothing crazy. Join your local amateur radio club and they are usually awesome.
…the fingers :o
Proliant N40L. Find one with caddies, swap the CD drive out for a SSD on that connection and put four fat drives in and install Truenas (the BSD based one).Super cheap, low power, fast enough to stream from files stored there, and extremely quiet.
Also I’ve found some games that work fine in Wine under X11 and not in Wayland
Yep I have a Seagate array and a HGST array and a WD array, and they’ve got 50k hours and are all fine (he said knocking on wood)
Also it isnt crazy hard to actually get the basic ham license. Try the hamstudy app and find the local radio club that offers testing.
Moving pallets of copier paper. Sometimes I’d miss the pallet and spear a box with a forklift tine. Those ended up being sold byloose reams minus the mangled ream.
Sooo Google is getting a taste of all MMS pics now?
Work so hard on the weekend you’re glad to go back to a job on Monday
Used HGST and Seagate all running about 50k hours
Well heck, I hadn’t really figured that outm . also I need to learn containers so proxmox might still be the thing
Fsil2ban piped to pfblocker works great. Plus snort
