Do people (#SysOps & #NetOps)) still care about the country assignment of their #IPv4 & #IPv6 networks used on their servers? Or don’t you mind about it anymore…?
Example: Coming from .de and using a French IP is ok for you?
@gyptazy Yes. If you have IPs that are assigned under RIPE and you are announcing them under ARIN's jurisdiction it's a sort of red flag. At least to my net admin friends that I know since there's a lot of prop up VPS companies that buy cheap blocks on RIPE and don't bother "porting" (I don't remember the right term for transferring allocations between RIRs...).
Puh, after almost 20 years (when version 1.1 got released in 2005) I switched from #ezjail to #cbsd. Feels strange because I always refused to use any other jail manager. But I guess it's time to move on... Btw, also like the TUI if #cbsd.
Have a nice weekend #FreeBSD fans (and of course also everyone else).
Wow, that was fast. People may remember my idea behind #BoxyBSD? Temporary jails for testing and debugging? It got immediately abused for spamming etc.!
Now, I’m running a friendly beta test within the #BSD Community (primary #BSDCafe & BSD fans) for free small sized hosted #VMs / #Jails (IPv6 only).
The first system is already full. Let’s see how this will be (ab)used?! Maybe, the next stack will start after Easter.
Puh, I haven’t used any #Linux for personal use since 2008 anymore and have just set up my firsts Linux based server after years. It’s the first time I’m cheating on #BSD (#FreeBSD)) after more than 15 years. That feels somehow crazy…
Everyone tells me about „infinity“ scaling and resources in the #cloud. What if I tell you that I can scale pretty well #onprem? I think 1,72TB RAM / Memory is pretty cool…
Guess, I can finally run a single Java app without running oom (hopefully) 😉
I want to get away from iCloud Photos, but a must have is that I can access my photos in an easy way on iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Next to it, I must find photos by given text like „summer beach wife high heels red dress“ or „yellow motorbike nordschleife“. Therefore, it needs not only face & object recognition but also usable apps for mobile devices. Clicking 10 minutes through a web ui is no solution. I gave nextcloud and immich a try and unfortunately both failed. Nextcloud tooks ages for previewing thumbnails even this features are only available in the web ui, immich looks pretty good but could only handle a subset of photos for testing because it takes long time to import and scan everything. So, immich looks promising before taking the efforts, maybe someone can give some insights with bigger libraries.
I need to process more than 8TB of photos and additional TBs of videos…
@jrollans I can fully see the struggles. Immich comes close to it, but it’s slow - especially when you initially need to index your database, can’t use Neural Engine from the iOS to speed it up. Then it’s all „alpha“… I think photos will keep me forever in the iCloud.
@gyptazy I was just reading up on setting up Immich yesterday and ended up getting defeated because I knew how much speed I would be losing. And knowing the the Neural Engine is “going to waste” would be pretty lame!
To all who are hosting their own #dns#authoritive server with #dnssec - what do you use in 2024?
#Ed25519 or #ECDSA-P256 or still on some #RSA algorithms? Shorter key length is especially in DNS a benefit but still not all resolvers may be able to support this in 2024?!
@gyptazy@cnx it ought to be fixed 5V since otherwise it'd be completely unusable.
If you use a multi voltage power supply the VF2 and the power supply decide together what voltage the box runs on (hence it can be either 5V or 12V and you wouldn't know unless the PSU shows it), however the voltage being output to the peripherals on the board are always the same, if they weren't you'd fry a fair bit of conductors on there 😅
Serious questions for this Friday… Are we now at a point of time where we can safely drop legacy #IPv4 and can even use #IPv6 only for servers.
Sure, technically everything works fine on operating systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Debian, #Fedora etc. and all my monitoring, backup and admin infrastructure is #IPv6 only for years. But dealing with clients is something different. I think most clients already support #DualStack, especially within my circle but it could still be annoying for people that are forced to use #IPv4 only.
I'm not that into hardware details but when I can build in a #RISCV QEMU cross compile environment, but on native hardware it fails reproducible with exactly the same versions with:
gcc: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault signal terminated program cc1
@gyptazy look at the address at which the fault occurs. if it's close to zero, it is almost guaranteed to be a program error. otherwise if it's reproducible, it almost certainly is not a hardware error either.
Do we see here the first ever #RISCV based #TOR node running? I just provided a TOR node for the #onion network on one of my #VisionFive boards. This one currently runs on #Debian#Linux (will be switched to #FreeBSD soon).
