@rjt said in Adding remote storage to Proxmox:

@jaredbusch nfs on top of ZFS.
ZFS should be the underlying block/fs for everything whether a single hard drive, block storage like iSCSi, file storage such as NFS or CIFS. I like TrueNAS for this purpose. As you can see, I love ZFS. My problem is I also love CentOS. Need to figure out easy ways to get ZFS on CentOS. We should all write a letter to Larry asking him to open up the license.

Most of us here do not subscribe to The Cult of ZFS. Yes, it has a place, but not nearly like it's made out to be.

I would rather use every other browser before Google Chrome.

We use DNS health checks for this, Route53 and CLoudFlare have this but it comes at a n additional cost.

Today's refresh has me not being signed into the forum. .. (eyeroll)

I suspect there's a link between not closing the tab, and exiting the browser.
Then when loading the browser and the tab, problems.

@siringo said in hot potato workers:

I was thinking about this last night. Is there anything you could do with QR codes or similar. Issue a card per device. They swipe/flash the card to log on and the same to log off.

you know of a windows solution that does that? I don't, though I've never looked for one either.

@obsolesce said in Is this a fake job?:

What kind of role and responsibilities are you seeking? What kind of company / employer? Position?

I'm seeking for an in-house system admin role (windows /vmware/hyper-v/azure environments). A position where I can gain knowledge from senior admins, and where I can gain experience in projects/implementations/planning/etc. I've been working for managed services, and kind of burnt out, and wanting to explore something new/different. Or something like a Projects Engineer position. Something where I can strategically plan/research, and implement.

Good Luck

Sometimes people have to be inconvenienced for security

Don't disagree - but can't stop doing business either.

Managing all these exceptions is an operational nightmare that will create a load of technical debt.

No lie - and no argument there. But resetting the expiry date/time doesn't seem all that different than resetting any password. few clicks and poof.

I can understand your point, but some responsibility for security must fall on the user. Management of course has to buy in on this and/or give full control of IT policies to a CISO/IT manager/generalist (depending on size of business).

Again - no disagreement. Barring this - being able to set a date for the password to expire that isn't to far out of policy seems better and more ideal than some of the options.

Heard about this article on a Crosstalk Solutions video today:

Nice video, but I ran into quite a pet peeve. I would like to point out I wholly disagree with Allen's definition of "cloud" about 15 mins in... that, as he says, "it's just somebody else's server... just means the server is hosted somewhere online over the internet".

I know. He always does the "tee shirt definition" rather than the real one. It's because vet customers can't even begin to understand cloud and all the cloud vendors in the industry aren't using cloud but just using it as a proxy for hosted.

That's a horrible thing to tell customers and in no way whatsoever does anything for the customer except misinformes them and solidifies their misunderstanding of cloud and why it's used. That basically tells the client cloud is if you want something off prem and over the internet. That couldn't be any further from what it is and why it could be beneficial or not to them. Yall are straight up reinforcing myths by saying that.
