We just built a new Samba file server here

Question, what authentication method are you using? I'm debating this at a client now.

Good way to make me not care about answering you.

@JaredBusch said in Slack? What is it?:

I do not use postcards, but making a direct to slack SMS connection is flaky at best.

This is exactly what I am planning to do. They make it so easy.

Except that it does not consistently work.

@gjacobse said in E-Fax with page-by-page verification:

Have him link to specific regulation, then verify.

@JasGot Do this ^
Because this request is not something that is not required per the ITU T.30. There is a function for a PPS (partial page signal), but it is optional in the standard. That means there is no way to know if any one manufacturer built their unit to use that bit of the standard or not.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab:

Neither ZFS nor Ceph are compatible with a hardware RAID controller.

This is bullshit. Yes, a RAID controller defeats the purpose of most of the features of ZFS, but it works just fine.

Proxmox requires ZFS if you are going to use the built in replication. So I simply setup ZFS on top of my RAID controller.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab:

I would like to install on it: Nextcloud, Meshcentral, maybe Photoprism, maybe Kodi, some Docker apps...

@Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab:

Edit: Size of storage is not so important now - 2TB in RAID10 is enough for now, I think

I think these two statements are at odds with each other. 2TB is not as much as your think once you add images and docker creep (oh it is jsut one more app).....

@Mario-Jakovina said in Recommended storage setup for Proxmox VE homelab:

with 4 non-hotplug 1TB HDD drives on HPE's B120i RAID controller

This means you need to just use the controller. Why waste it? I mean I am not as familiar with HP's lineup as I am with Dell, but as long as that is a real RAID controller, just use it.

From what I can gather B120i is not a real RAID controller. It just a SATA HBA with LSI chipset. It needs OS software drivers to do RAID.

Okay, if this is not real RAID on the controller, then I would pass the disk through and use ZFS. I have no issues with ZFS itself. I have issues with the Cult of ZFS asshats.

@Pete-S said in Anyone using yubikey, smart card or other hardware device for MFA?:

I did some research now and one obvious difference is that yubikey can't be phished.

I am sure they can. All the attacker needs is to be MitM to get the approved session information. It is not like your Yubikey is communication non stop with the website you used it to authenticate.

I don't know if any of you try to use Proxmox with a user other than root, but it is a pain in the ass.

First they do not make it easy to even add users and grant them permissions.

Then even if once you do, there are so many things that do not work.

Here is one I found today. Adding a USB passthrough device.

@JasGot said in What to use for new Windows network domain:

No need for split DNS this way.

That is a huge reason.

I did go with ad.domian.com. Just been so long sent I set one up new, I figured I would run it by everyone.

Thanks for the feedback.

@scottalanmiller said in Fedora 33 SSH Access Denied But Webmin Works Fine:

Root is disabled by default in SSH configs most of the time.

Not until the last couple years. Sure we always disabled it, but it was not default that way until recently.

@Obsolesce said in How to use different accounts on the same website/service with profiles:

Similar to Chrome...

Because it is basically chrome.

@wirestyle22 I’ve never used a gpg key without a password/passphrase.

@AdamF said in Unifi cloud controller going the way of home office?:

I was looking at the Omada line recently too. I still have not found a direct replacement for the EdgeRouter lineup. Which is a real shame, because they are such great devices. Then I found Omada on a blog somewhere but haven't pulled the trigger on getting a unit to try. I might have to though, as I have been waiting for an EdgeRouter 4 for over a year or more.

I don't have a good replacement for the EdgeRouter line either.

The Omada/TP_Link switches and wifi are fine replacements for Ubiquiti gear.

@AdamF said in Unifi cloud controller going the way of home office?:

In reading through the UI forums, specifically this gentlemen's post, it does not look promising.

https://community.ui.com/questions/Edgemax-availability-update/ce4d56ad-5e22-424e-90fb-473b671e5438#answer/b274b1b2-5c4b-4cc1-b361-85ca148d6ed7

UniFi and EdgeMax are completely different things and always have been.

In the spirit of the exception to prove the rule, the first USG was just a ERL with different firmware/OS. But again, the exception.

I am doing cleanup/consolidation of my home setup.

My primary home virtualization platform was KVM on Fedora, managed mostly with Virtual Machine Manager from my desktop.

I have 2 other systems running Proxmox, but they are super old and crappy.

I am going to convert my main system to Proxmox, but I need to migrate of course. Everything migrated and works fine except for the two old CentOS 7 systems I have on it. They migrated and the VM will power on, but they lock up on boot.

One locks up right at the start

The other actually boots a bit before locking up.

Sure, I plan on getting the workloads migrated to new virtual machines or something, but before that, I simply want them migrated.

Any clues? It is only these two CentOS 7 VMs.

@Eric-Ross said in CentOS 7 VM won't boot after migration to Proxmox:

@JaredBusch Just a guess since I haven't used Proxmox for years. I just saw a post elsewhere about a problem running AlmaLinux 9.1 where the CPU had to be changed from Default (kvm64) to Host.

Did not think to try "host" I left it on kvm64 or I used the model that matched the old server. Let me kick it and see.

@Eric-Ross said in CentOS 7 VM won't boot after migration to Proxmox:

@JaredBusch Ah, too bad that wasn't the fix.

I didn't bother at the dracut point. I likely could have recovered the system. I simply decided to stop putting off the migration of those workloads.

They were still running CentOS 7 after all.
