  • It gets better: he also refused to restore power to the shed the cousin of the electricians son wired, because the line was buried without a conduit, and uh, was not rated for the absolutely massive drill press he had in there.

    Not sure how he didnt trip the main breaker trying to use it, I have been told every electronic in the house lost power when it was on (house had a 60? amp service when I moved in).




  • To anyone that may want an update:

    • Turns out I only had 3 ddr4 sticks (1x16, 2,8), so I am only running 2/3 of the systems I intended
    • I had to modify the fuck out of a Vostro’s case, as the M720’s can only hold 1 HDD, 1 SSD and 1 NVME drive
    • I had to jumper a PSU to power my 2x10 _12_gb drives as I found out the M720 uses a 10pin power connection, and the 10pin PSU I had doesn’t have a single sata power connection (and is only 280W). I didn’t trust using the 4pin mobo to sata power for 2 12tb HDD’s, especially on a 280W PSU.
    • Proxmox is confusing
    • Seriously, a lot of (honestly probably AI generated) articles talk about not bothering with a NAS VM, and just using an LXC container, but after spending hours wondering why it wouldn’t work, I found out that unprivileged LXC containers can’t do NFS, at all, and I could not figure out how to make the Samba share read/write, which is a hard requirement.
    • The convert to template button is dangerous, and broke my unbound pihole setups for a bit, as using that fancy new template broke things within the lxc container somehow
    • I am learning, which is important, right?






  • I was definitely debating doing something like that, I would just need to actually learn how.

    The cluster would definitely only have 3 systems, one of which having actual storage space and the other 2 having at most 1TB (but would be on SSD/NVME drives).

    My biggest concern is if I can migrate my current docker stack without much issue, or if I would have to start from scratch.




  • Yeah, I agree with Authelia feeling brittle. I have seen a lot of people switch from traefik to caddy, and I am definitely considering it at this point - I am a bit worried about the lack of GUI as it is definitely easier to see if something is wrong by opening that up (when it actually works) than reading logs, but i also heard caddy has a plugin for a GUI?

    I have considered looking at proxmox, but i don’t think i do enough vm’s to justify it, and I dont have any dedicated WAP’s so OPNSense just isnt worth it for me, though if that ever changes I would definitely consider it.


  • honestly too poor for backup storage atm, I have a manual backup of my important shit, but definitely not a robust setup.

    A few people have recommended kanidm, definitely going to look at it - not the biggest fan of Authelia at this point. No real defaults, a ton of configuration steps you need to follow, and SSO was a pain to setup last time I looked.

    I have been considering caddy, as traefik has a few weird issues - for example, returning ‘I’m a teapot’ instead of its web frontend for no reason sometimes. Also, its near impossible to get useable certs to share with other services - it stores them in its own format, and the conversion tools dont really work.





  • There’s too many that would benefit Canada immensely.

    Since most of my first thoughts were already said, maybe criminalising corporate involvement in politics? Or price fixing. Hell, even nationalising necessities would be good (food, housing, utilities - including phone/internet).

    Another thought would be requiring a total compensation disparity of no more than 7x - as in, if any employee is being paid $17.85 (current BC minimum), the total compensation for the highest can be, at most $124.95, including stocks and other benefits that can be considered compensation. Its still a fucking insane difference, but much more sane than not having a cap at all.
