No shit.

just_another_person ,

Good luck convincing the taxpayers of that fact. It should be regulated and made available as such, but made to run for free by government agencies...I think that will piss absolutely everybody off for a number of reasons.

just_another_person ,

Way different than a federally funded ISP. Note the comment OP is making.

SMB, FTP, or NFS for NAS + server?

I am running a NAS that needs to connect to a server (the NAS isn't powerful enough). I also need to connect my NAS to a Windows, Mac, and Linux device (Linux being the most important, then Mac, then Windows). Out of SMB, FTP, and NFS, which one would be the best, quickest, and most secure for my situation? My NAS supports...

just_another_person ,

SMB works fine on everything. Whatever NAS they are running will be using the same Samba implementation anyway.

just_another_person ,

It's going to be SMB just because you want things to work, and user perms synced to the host. It's the same Samba implementation anyway.

just_another_person ,

Because SMB is slower than NFS. OP isn't concerned about that, but rather ease of use, and persisting perms and ownership.

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

If you're just running home automation, you do not need an Epyc 🤣

Get a low power anything to just run what you need.

just_another_person ,

Some unsolicited advice then: don't go LOOKING for reasons to use the absolute max of what your hardware is capable of just because you can. You just end up spending more money 🤑

For real though, just get an N100 or something that does what you need. You don't need to waste money and power on an Epyc if it just sits idle 99% of the time.

just_another_person ,

What in the world...

Dafuq you doing over there?

just_another_person ,

Man, today has had so many WTF moments. WTF.

just_another_person ,

It is.

just_another_person ,

"The Year Of Linux on Desktops". Been hearing this for decades, but it might actually be happening. What I'm feeling now is the same thing I felt when Mozilla originally split Firefox out, and made the first real competition to corporate browsers as a free product. People don't want all this bullshit, and want to retain control over the machines they are working on. Seems a lot more people are interested in FOSS environments now just to avoid all the other BS they hate getting shoveled at them.

just_another_person ,

Most things MOST people work on these days aren't heavily tied to Windows as an OS in a way that would prevent it running via emulation. Worst-case, in a VM. Lots of the everyday things people use is in the browser now.

You have an example?

just_another_person ,

All the larger PC manufacturers do offer Ubuntu at least. There was a time when Best Buy was selling them from Dell and Lenovo, but I'm sure the staff couldn't sufficiently explain the "why", and it was also at a time when more technology illiterate folks were the purchasers. That's not the case anymore, but I guess we will see how/if it shifts at all.

just_another_person ,

It's not about the total share, it's about the premise.

just_another_person ,

Nope

What tips or resources would you recommend to someone who knows about Linux and wants to self-host, but has no experience self-hosting?

I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don't know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I...

just_another_person ,

Learn about zero trust, least privilege, reliability, and basic security for each service you want to expose to the Internet, then just try it out.

just_another_person ,

If you're learning in any kind of professional capacity, you may want to get familiar with running things on k8s. I would never deploy Compose in any kind of production environment.

just_another_person ,

Aside from the myriad issues it has on its own, the easiest answer is: it doesn't scale on multiple machines and instances.

Example: I have 10 services in a compose file, and I need each service to scale independently across multiple servers. Which is easier, more reproducible, and reliable: controlling the docker compose state across many instances, or communicating with a central management service with one command to do it all for me?

just_another_person ,

No, then you're just orchestrating the service level stuff, and nothing else. Docker's tools will never compare to cluster scaling efforts where the entire horizontal layer to be scaled can be orchestrated from the instance up to containers.

just_another_person , (edited )

N number of EXISTING nodes. Proper container orchestration platforms handle all the provisioning of instances, scaling of services, IAM...etc.

Docker Swarm (and all Docker tools) only handle...Docker.

Swarm is another thing I would never recommend in production.

just_another_person ,

K8s isn't the only container orchestration platform out there, it's just what is the widely used flavor right now. Any of the micro clusters would still be better than the Docker tools, for a multitude of reasons, and if someone is learning about this right now, they might as well put the effort forth to get familiar.

I've never seen a large scale Compose or Swarm cluster, and wouldn't be working for a team who ran such things. Alternatives would also be: ECS (if on AWS), Openshift, Rancher, and most other cloud platforms have some form of their own that handles provisioning, as well is IAM/RBAC seamless integrations, and other networking integrations for whatever platform.

just_another_person ,

No, it's container orchestration. As-in "I orchestrate all the scaling needed to run and scale the containers".

just_another_person ,

Yes.

just_another_person ,

AMD

just_another_person ,

There was a documentary about this awhile ago which was pretty terrifying. They basically go into how you can essentially "grow" computers to augment reality and human perception. Pretty crazy. "eXistenz" was the name I think. I believe Jude Law was the narrator or something, I don't remember.

just_another_person ,

Stellar work.

just_another_person ,

They've been pulling this shit since the early days. Similar tricks were employed in the 486 days to swap out chips, and again in the Celeron days. I think they switched to the slot style intentionally to keep selling chips to a point lol

just_another_person ,

AMD followed suit for the memory bandwidth part from the K62 architecture. Intel had no reason to do so.

just_another_person ,

You don't need Windows as your driving OS to use Office. Use the web version if needed, or run it on a VM. Same difference.

just_another_person ,

It's Wireguard, so you'd just change the Wireguard profile to use a specific interface. The routing between the two networks is handled at the routing table, and all will be available to route to.

just_another_person ,

Don't give the Foo Fighters a pass for doing corporate gigs for these assholes either. They knew exactly what they were doing.

just_another_person ,

AKSHUALLY (not sticking up for Russia here), it's mostly dependent on how much energy they want to waste. They could make massive dies of whatever if they can power it. Probably with oil. It'll never be up to par with "modern" tech, but this is one of those things that seems to unlock a modern society.

If they can source materials, and improve on the process to be competitive, it's another dumb fucking race that humanity has to endure.

just_another_person ,

Nope, just the pulse. It's unfortunate but true. Be a bigger person and stand up for better options.

just_another_person ,

I was on the Framework wait-list for over a year, but bailed because they didn't kick this out in time.

just_another_person ,

You Grandma and her Chromebook don't care though. The numbers aren't in our favor, but Mozilla absolutely dominating in the features and privacy arenas is.

just_another_person ,

Exactly

just_another_person ,

Probably a number or large installation bases switching.

just_another_person ,

Ryzen will get you more bang for your buck where you're solely looking at core counts.

just_another_person , (edited )

While true, the 6W idle can be hit with proper tuning, I just wouldn't recommend it. Still, from what I've seen with mine, it overall uses less power than a pi4/5 at the plug. I'm pretty happy with the one running my network services. I'll be going AMD next round with the pstate improvements coming up once this one outlives it's usefulness though.

just_another_person ,

If you're simply looking at core-per-watt, any. If you just want a server system don't buy a G series APU chip.

just_another_person ,

Some kinda asshole here. Good luck.

just_another_person ,

You can always have a remote desktop and no monitor if you wish, or forward over SSH. Lots of options to have graphical control.

just_another_person ,

Wow. Lots of questions.

What are you trying to solve for here?

just_another_person ,

Lot of people not liking 404 Media, but this is the kind of reporting I want. Point out what's going wrong. Bring it to a conversation without a lot of skew. Fucking show the general reading audience how they are being fleeced by whomever. Didn't Vice do this at one point?

just_another_person ,

Anything with "AI" in the title is a cash grab with very little actual technical worth except the models and training data.

just_another_person ,

This sounds a LOT like the plot of a terrible 90's movie that was thinly veiled to portray MS as a mini-surveillance state, with some murder thrown in. I'll try and find it.

Edit: Released in 2001, it was 'Antitrust'. I remember it being bad, but not good-bad like 'Hackers'

just_another_person ,

'Swordfish'. I don't even know what in the hell that movie was supposed to be, but it was basically Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as "Hacker", but just filled with ridiculous nonsense.

Great episode of 'How Did This Get Made' going over it. Worth a listen.
