Versitygw and Garage are both good options.

Instead of deleting the ballast file you can just truncate it. That works on ZFS when you fill the pool and delete starts failing.

An ebook reader from Framework would be awesome....
Look at Bitwardens Emergency Access:

Would also cover banking details or whatever else you want to put in there.

I've been using OpenIndiana on my NAS for a very long time. Rock solid OS, zones are fun to use, boot environments are just so nice.... Some random tools are compatible and work, like rclone. Recently installed versitygw as an S3 to filesystem gateway and that works perfectly.
The music one was never available but the metadata one can be found and still works.
Calla the "a" in other fonts fugly, does that with the lowercase "i"... Something about living in glass houses maybe.

There were many portable CD players with enough buffering that they'd never skip. Panasonic Shockwave (IIRC) for example. And car heatunits.

You had to get a very old or seriously cheap portable player to get skipping.

Probably helps that the stance is likely "Hack this target or your family dies". That's always pretty uhhhh motivational.
Re:Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.0 available on Friday December 05, 2025 @01:51PM (#46165560)
Not quite so clean.

VE can be a cluster of nodes that you can still manage via the same UI. ESXi cant do that, ESXi UI is a single node, and not even everything that a single node can do with vCenter added.

Proxmox VE is both ESXi and some/most of vCenter.

It's in beta, but HAProxy has a gateway product:

https://www.haproxy.com/blog/announcing-haproxy-unified-gate...

Not really, those people go to a hospital where there is a duty of care. Hospitals don't get to just say "Nah, not gonna help you" and close the door for people showing up in the ED.

So those vaccine deniers get sick, lose their commitment, go to the ED, get some level of treatment/help/etc, and suck up resources and impact help for the guy who got vaccinated then got hit by someone running a red light....

There is a new Unified one that can use SQLite and other options. I have been using that one for a year or more

Framework, the AMD versions.

Can take the 48GB SODIMMs that are on the market now. That'll handle a spreadsheet or two.

You can also use Codeberg.
Re:BorgBackup 2 has no server-side append-only anymore on Saturday June 14, 2025 @10:42AM (#44276730)
Yes, about $90USD per TB.

But I weigh that against data recovery from failed disks and the loss of the data I put in Glacier (family photos/etc). Then its dirt cheap.

Re:BorgBackup 2 has no server-side append-only anymore on Saturday June 14, 2025 @10:41AM (#44276724)
There is a free tier that accounts for testing, first 100GB of transfer out of AWS per month is free.

Glacier Deep Archive is the cheapest cloud backup option at $1USD/month/TB.

Google Cloud Store Archive Tier is a tiny bit more.

VerneMQ also has built in clustering and message replication which would make this easy.
Re:YouTube scares me; I need RAID 1 for my video content on Friday March 07, 2025 @01:13PM (#43292567)
It's about $1USD/TB/month (varies slightly by AWS region). Unless you need to retrieve and download, where it works out to about $90USD/TB.
Of course. I don't retreive all 4+TB every week or month.
Yes, but if it's your third location of 3-2-1 then it can also make sense to weigh it against data recovery costs on damaged hardware.

I backup to Glacier as well. For me to need to pull from it (and pay that $90/TB or so) means I've lost more than two drives in a historically very reliable RAIDZ2 pool, or lost my NAS entirely.

I'll pay $90/TB over unknown $$$$ for a data recovery from burned/flooded/fried/failed disks.

Or steal the block that has your bash profile....

So? She certainly has one or more daughters, or neices, or is a god parent, or has friends with kids...
This seems like something HAProxy can do effortlessly.... Especially with it's hitless reload.
Re:Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon on Tuesday September 17, 2024 @09:14PM (#41574685)
I doubt those 2,750 all have minor injuries. That's 2,750 targets, a lot of whom probably now now have missing fingers/hands, a chunk missing from their leg, face injuries.... Aka major injuries from having a small explosion on their belt or int their pocket. It's going to be 2,750 probably major injuries that will take a long time to recover from.

There's a whole Well There's Your Problem (an engineering disasters podcast) about exactly that. I think the conclusion is that it isn't fine in theory or practice...

Re:My favorite device is a Chromebook on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @01:43AM (#41178548)
My favorite device used to be a Chromebook (Dell Chromebook 13, codename Lulu). But it stopped getting updates a long time ago (wasn't covered by the new 10 year policy). It ran for a long time just fine but then a few sites started not working on the old version of Chrome.

I flashed it's bootloader to the Mr Chromebox one and now it's been running Fedora Kinoite very well. So still my favorite device, just a new favorite OS. Kinoite (via RPM Ostree) gives that same feeling of no worry updates.

ChromeOS is great and has only improved. Its great as an OS that needs absolutely no care and feeding. It was amazingly efficient, it didn't start struggling until 120+ browser tabs. But Kinoite (combined with things like Distrobox) is more flexible. There's a lot more of how the sausage is made especially getting full disk encryption going (I used tang and clevis) on Kinoite. And ChromeOS has some of the things that make Distrobox and Flatpaks great (desktop integration basically).

So TL;DR, look at flashing your bootloader and installing Linux.
