I don't believe that there is any charge for Wasabi deletions.

From what I can tell, Wasabi only charges for storage. There are no egress or deletion fees.

Correct, same here. Unless you have the old accounts where they did charge for egress.

We will have new segment called Funding or category or page, where we post stuff we like or interested in, and the end of the month we make vote system to choose which stuff we like the most

No i dont know much about how the money system will work at the of each month, put it may be like one pot we put in it and at the end of month depending on the vote it goes there, think internal projects like Soduim suite, or anything in indiegogo to kickstart that we like

I know were are not rich but dollar here and dollar there from member we can make impact

HCI or disaggregate with Hyper-V and SOFS S2D are they way we're deploying now. So, the whole conversation is essentially moot.

Not really HCI as described with the DataOn. That's just a software RAID version of the non-HC model.

HC has always meant physical convergence.

I believe I referred to the DataON setup as "Converged" or sometimes "Asymmetric" not Hyper-Converged which is what Storage Spaces Direct is when running with both Storage Spaces and Hyper-V on the nodes.

I see. Asymmetric is a decent term. What about it is converged, though? It seems "unconverged", if you will. Other than the software RAID running on the storage nodes.

"Converged" in this case refers to both Hyper-V and Storage Spaces running on the nodes to provide virtual machine and storage cluster based arbitration.

@Emad-R IOPS varies wildly by how it is tested. The question for your Windows tests would be... how was it tested? We know how the Linux was tested, it tells us. Knowing how the Windows was tested is the real need at this point.

@Pete-S said in PFsense hardware ?:

Yes, it makes sense. Ubiquity and pfsense are not really the same thing though. Ubiquity is a router like any consumer Asus or whatever but with a much better OS. Pfsense is a freebsd computer with a web gui. They are good for slightly different things.

You could say the same thing about Cisco or whatever. All router hardware below five figures is kind of the same. Ubiquiti is definitely built better than any consumer gear I've seen, but the basics are the same. I've seen pfSense on the same kind of hardware.

EdgeOS is Vyatta based, though. Purpose built to be a router. pfSense is putting a router on top of something desired for general use. I've never seen a pfSense setup that I'd consider ready for production use. Most I've seen are worse than consumer gear because it's either unsupported consumer gear rebranded, or just old PCs without maintenance.

@bbigford I'll second that

@JaredBusch said in Orchestrate and control many web sites:

@scottalanmiller said in Orchestrate and control many web sites:

@Emad-R Exactly, that's more than running your own. $2.95 PER WEBSITE is quite expensive. Run your own and you can do it for $.35 per site!

No you cannot. Not for a single site or even a dozen.

$5 vultr instance / 12 sites comes in at $0.42

That doesn't count the labor to maintain, patch, make resiliant (excluding content related development, etc).
While certainly not expensive, it is also certainly not $0.35.

Ah, but don't forget, when we did a labour study we found that dealing with your own install had lower labour than when dealing with a shared instance because you don't get raw access. So we lowered labour.

So my numbers were obviously without labour, but so were the shared numbers. If you include labour both go up, but the shared goes up more from what we found in testing.

@Emad-R said in B2 Backup checkup:

Then if you do this how you do you check that the Backups are good or you just the tar archive.

You'd untar them.

That is a full check. But without paying to download the file you just uploaded, you hash the file first and send the hash along with the upload. B2 will hash it when completed and verify that it matches your supplied hash. If it doesn’t, it asks it to reupload.

@warren-stanley

Interesting concept when snaps and flatpacks take over, would it matter to have Fedora or Ubuntu ?

Snaps and Flatpack are already here and are nothing but "yet another packaging format." Fedora vs Ubuntu differences still remain. They aren't separated primarily by their package managers.

The one different with snap on Fedora compare to ubuntu is that SELinux can cause issues with snap apps.

If you don't want that, though, just turn it off. Then you are in the same boat as Ubuntu without it anyway.

Yeah, SELinux is disabled on my Fedora workstation. Too many annoying crashes because of it. I’m all good with keeping in enabled on my server installs.

@Emad-R

Got fixed today. Thanks

@emad-r said in Proxies as VPN?:

@emad-r

They are using reverse proxy squid on a PFsense router as VPN. or to access company resources.

For example, I think they made LAN 7.7.7.* and put company resource like http://web/company
and only 7.7.7.* can access it in the config on PFsense.

It does not work 100% of course. As you can bypass it if you do http://web/company?32141 and access it from WAN

That works only if the resources are web only. In which case, a VPN was never appropriate in the first place. So in this case, a VPN would actually allow you to access unpublished web resources. But the reverse proxy will publish them.

Now the presumed difference to most people is that the VPN will add a layer or protection in the form of authentication, and the proxy will not. This is not correct, however, because you can add that to the proxy, too.

So, in reality, you are correct, in this specific case, the reverse proxy is actually making a VPN for just those specific web resources. It's a special case VPN, assuming you are using it as an SSL point.

I disable IPv6 as a matter of defaults on my home network... I'd like to do it at work too, but I never have any issues like that there.

Mee neither. It was weird thing I rebooted everything from the router side and it got fixed, so disregard.

that is definitely a great UI, very nice.

I just added 3 nodes cluster in 2 mins, very easy too.

Bumping up my capacity

Definitely worth more research.

The only real pitfall currently is no admin tool GUI to manage it and create DB with it, all third party and all with errors when connecting.

You can only use there native cli which works for developers, that wish to create new apps with it, but not existing users.

What you're talking about is one aspect of part of implementing DevOps that is often misinterpreted to mean the whole of it. And yes, it is stupid to call that DevOps. That's just Ops using different tools.

I see it as the opposite. Patrick's core DevOps...

"Thanks to the devopsdays conference, the idea of devops seems to live on. While talking with other people about it, I realize that it is difficult to frame it within the current IT landscape. At lot of the ideas are coming from different kinds of emerging technologies (T) and process management (P) approaches.

For me the two most important observations are:

there is a increase in feedback loops between business, all parts of the delivery process and operations thanks to this feedback loops we increase the quality and speed up the flow"

This is the core of DevOps, not well described, but pretty clearly about IT, not development. This is the core. Very, very loosely defined to the point of useless, sure.

Then things like DevOps talking dev itself is the extra, the tack on later. It's not "part of" devops, any more than it is of any operations. And just how operations doesn't cease to exist without developers, neither does DevOps.

I believe everything on that page is all meant to be within the context of companies doing development. But I agree, the core of DevOps is about Ops and Business practices. However, I firmly believe the name DevOps comes from Ops and Development working together, and thus the reason why discussions of DevOps implementation specifics centre around companies doing software development. Though just based on that page, I could see why someone could still take a different view. However, I consider The DevOps Handbook to be the definitive source, rather than notes on the initial discussions.

I think doing that makes DevOps a pointless, useless concept. Hopefully that's not what he intended. As an ops practice, it has tremendous value. As a merger of dev and ops, it's just bluster.

I put a regular 2.5" SSD in an USB3 enclosure years ago to get several hundreds MB/sec.

Today maybe a portable SSD drive would a great thing to buy instead of inventing the wheel. Like Samsung T5 below.

For IT, or for Developers? I'm not sure where to start in either case, it is so case by case.

I mean... management needs to force it. That's about the only standard step.

... and blacklight isn't black! It's invisible (to human eyes).

You don't see black light? I do. I think most people do. It's just dim.

Blacklight = ultraviolet light = shorter wavelength (10-400 nm) than visible light (400 - 700 nm)

Blacklight isn't actually ultraviolet. You can't see UV, but you can see blacklight. At least everyone I know can. It's right on the edge of being UV, hence why it is a deep purple rather than invisible. But it's still visible. They just always call it UV to make it sound cooler than it is. Not that it isn't cool, but I can certainly see it. That's why lots of places light with it, even when not triggering the effect that people want, it's still enough to see by.

The violet glow of a black light is not the UV light itself, but visible light that escapes being filtered out by the filter material in the glass envelope.

It depends on what you refer to as "black light".

If you define a blacklight to be the device itself that emits UV light, then yes, you are seeing the visible light that escapes as mentioned above.

And FFS, to finally readdress my original point, the light isn't black.

@emad-r yes, yes we can complain.

It's why NN is so damn important! (even though it's dead now. . .)
