@jospoortvliet I see there is a git repo with the makings for an RPM. but I cannot find the clean RPM linked anywhere.

https://github.com/nextcloud/server-packages/tree/master/centos

I found the RPM from the other guy in that linked thread, but I do not want their customizations.

@IRJ not that amazing. What is really amazing is that South Korean cigarettes aren't brighter than North Korea.

Can't you get a fiber circuit from someone? We were able to get WindScream fiber in our one dsl branch office. Yes I know Windstream ranks right up there with comcrap but the speed made the difference and we got them to waive construction costs.

Fiber circuit, sure, if we pay to run it 30 miles. A T1 would only be ~5 miles. Both would be a lot more expensive as well.

We used to have a WISP around, but they were bought out and filed chapter 13 bankruptcy 4 years ago.

I'd like to run window/door with temp motion and glass in each room.

But - Sometimes I don't get what I want...

So human body tracking / detection or do I get you wrong?

LOL - nothing that serious. Temp is for just how the house is heated / cooled. Motion and glass for entry detetction, as a option to the windows.

Ah ok 😛

There are (ultra)sonic based sensors avaliable. They are able to detect a breaking window. For many sensors, mh, why not go for a meshed solution? Like a few cheap Arduino Nano ($1-1.5 via Ali) and maybe Bluetooth LE or Zigbee for reporting to a central instance.

Yup - that would do it. Hardware isn't so much the issue.... save the need to be as small as possible so it didn't stand out and a huge item hung on the wall. It's the programming... I'm clueless on programming.

@JaredBusch said in Actually scrolling the scroll bars, tiny hitbox.:

@travisdh1 it seems normal to me.

Hrm, may be my web browser, my scroll bars seem to be about a single pixel tall/wide 😞

@travisdh1 said in I never knew I did so much...:

Every github project I look at seems to have a travis.yml file, I never knew I did so much work on open source coding!

That's like cheating, my dear Travis 😉

Because, you know, NY gets Montezuma's Revenge. Can't be too careful. 😉

Not everyplace has good water.

I can't be bothered researching water!

Plus, growing up in Trenton, the city water tasted like crap.

Because they got bought out by LMI(Log Me In), I think... and in some circles, LMI has a horrid reputation.

That and they are not free. But mostly the LMI buy out.

For the cloud auto sync options, I'm totally fine paying $12/yr. But the LMI thing does bug me.

Yeah, call this a preemptive action on my part. I don't want LMI getting any $$ from me.

Or my passwords.

@JaredBusch said in ISS Tech:

@travisdh1 no they are users. This means they push whatever menu option they were told to push. It does not mean they "know" Linux

They're a lot more trusting than I would be then. Of course I'm the crazy guy that would insist on learning that odd OS they use for satellites and rovers as well 😛

@travisdh1 said in Backblaze latest publicly released numbers.:

@Dashrender Yep, exactly.

I kinda wish they'd just use pure erasure coding instead of layering it on top of RAID6 arrays. I mean, if you're doing erasure coding correctly, wouldn't an additional RAID array be additional complexity that's not needed?

Quoted from the linked article:

Note: Our stand-alone Storage Pods use RAID-6, our Backblaze Vaults use our own open-sourced implementation of Reed-Solomon erasure coding instead.

Disclaimer: I'm a Backblaze sysadmin, blah, blah, etc, etc 🙂

I missed that bit. Much better than what I thought.

Hi!

Thanks for the hint, will do 🙂

@travisdh1 I just went through all of this last night in order to expand space on a CentOS 7 VM.

All of the guides and info seemed really bad. Nothing was consolidated or concise.

I ended up with this guide working to get what I needed done except for the last step. The guide said to use resize2fs and that does not work. I had to use xfs_growfs as pointed out in an answer to this post.

I just had to do this again.. Time to make a write up here because the original article is no longer online. Had to use the wayback machine to verify my notes.

It be a lot more easier now using Cockpit?

CentOS 7

You can do it on CentOS.

Also a quick tip is if you do an lvextend -r it will auto resize the filesystem.

Missing my wife right now, how she would describe me made most people blush.

Assembly programs give me nightmares, lol.

I had an assembly language class in college. While I don't really enjoy it, I very much appreciate someone who does. Just... not.... this. It's a itty bitty little package of evil.

This isn't meant to be offensive, but I've never met anyone who liked Assembly who was not at least border-line autistic. I think it's because it takes a certain type of mind or memory in order to deal with in an extended way and enjoy it. I can deal with it, but I don't really enjoy it. For smaller programs I'd rather use C and strip everything down... still won't be as small, but certainly better than any extra high level language.

My tax rate (counting healthcare) is something like 35% when I looked at my last paystub for 2015. Refund this will be about $3k because I forgot to change the amounts last fall like I generally do once I have paid in enough to cover my taxes.

That's weird - why would you pay in early? In fact, why not do the opposite, short them as much as possible, bank the cash and send them a check?

It's the world's worst savings plan! I've known people who used taxes like a savings account before, not such a great way to go about things. Personally I've got it to the point where it's as close to zero at tax time as possible (normally $40 or so either way.)

Because I forgot to adjust my W4 amounts last year. I normally do that about September once I have a solid grip on my expected tax for the year. I have long aimed for a ~$100 owe/refund amount.

If it wasn't for possible penalties, I'd pay zero all year and just write a check every year on April 15, get the interest myself.

Since April 15 is my birthday, feel free to write me a check too.

@gjacobse The point is that forcing people to change their password even just 4 times a year means they will forget them, and be forced into using poor choices and/or patterns. Like @aaron I only have 2 memorized anymore.

Using patterns of added or changing special checerters would be better. Either one still prevents the likely hood of a brute force (along with lock outs).

that's the worst. That's what creates the security weaknesses that we commonly see today.

Far better to have one long, never changing passphrase than many short, regularly changing ones.

Monday morning and back at it. Anyway, ifcfg-eth2

cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2 DEVICE=eth2 TYPE="Ethernet" ONBOOT="yes" USERCTL="no" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" PEERDNS="yes"

I wonder if it could be a missing hardware address, gonna go lookup the MAC and add that in.

Steve specifically mentioned CloudFlare during his podcast and made mention that he didn't think it would work for him.

What kind of site is he running? ML cant work behind it because of Websockets. Is his site a blog or what?

This is completely not true. You can use Websockets with CloudFlare, you just have to pay for it. It has been that way since August of 2014.

Your statement is a complete lie.

Okay yes, with the enterprise level support which is $11K a month, I've been told, then CF will do this.
