I can't qualify for the $5 here, but:

I have a bunch of them what faciliate the needs to access the network resources what block my $default connection.

I'm running my own NS on them and this is always a question if does really worth it - but it works for me, including hosting a dozen of domains and not being depended on any 3rd party, including the bills and their web interfaces, along with tge security shenanigans[0].

There is Forgejo, Syncthing relay, Syncthing client and a file server for the most important things.

Formerly there was a NextCloud instance as a gateway to access the before mentioned fileserver.

Zabbix server never made it to a rented monitoring service but it is still warns me about the problems way before even the $job one does.

Oh, I'm running docker-mailserver which backups my mail from a couple accounts I do have.

[0] I do have and had services what locked out me of my accounts for my security. It's quite a sad experience.

That's the usual state of things. I even vouched for a green comment because it was in a spirit yet for some it was not.

I fully support you on your's previous comment but here I need to remind you what it is you who understand the implication of that query. Regular Joe isn't. And even more importantly is what the vendor is not on R.J. side, it is on the advertising side[0] where the excessive knowledge about a user is the thing.

Like just 15 minuts ago I opened Untappd likr a bazillion times before and were present with 15 screens of toggles and like 250 entities at least. There were at least 10 permissions to give the consent to track the things I do outside the app.

So not only a detailed reason for the permission wouldn't work, it wouldn't be implemented in the first place,

There are a lot of more thing than just making sure the media is working. And you would be quite surprised (considering you are throwing Wiki links for a reflectometry) but the physical state of the line is the least important thing in making sure what something can communicate with something else. A sibling comment can provide a glimpse on how it can be done.

Meh, I knew people would just clutch to the monitoring ignoring everything else.

In your case you already have way more than monitoring. You have the infrastructure designed for resilience. You have that design implemented. You have the protocols to do if the things go north. You have automation to disregard minor events and to bring to the attention more serious things. You have way more than monitoring alone.

> Yes the probe here is a lack of monitoring.

No?

Like, okay, monitoring reports what there is no link.

Now what? Somebody gets a hi vis vest, a hard hat and goes along the cable to investigate the reason?

There is nothing monitoring could help, especially if the cable was cut recent enough.

By going to new?

Just now it's 10 dead of 30, #30 is just '48 minutes ago'.

> but don't often actually see a ton of dead comments. Occasionally I see one that's dead and seems odd (and sometimes interesting).

> Lot of the time it is stuff I'm not surprised is dead.

You can't see something doesn't exist [anymore].

Of course it's a lottery if it would work on a kitbashed homelab case.

Do you have showdead enabled?

There is a firehose of the dead submissions and this is a good day today - just about 1 per minute and only 30% are dead. Somedays it's much, much worse.

HN attracts every wannabe out there and there is always a banal spam. So no wonder people don't want^W have time to hand hold anyone.

> If real estate was really holding back families, as is often stipulated, this might reverse that.

It doesn't matter how much the property is valued if your work is somewhere else.

Looks like someone is hurt in the SD card slot, hah.

It's quite amusing how The Government™ is able to use the tax money to buy an overpriced useless military toys which solve nothing and cost trillions, but at the same time The Government™ can't spend that tax money on the care of their citizens.

No object lock API would help you if the business where you rent the service is going out of... business. With all your data - and you are without.

Or even fancier - just changing the price for the egress.

> Also copy from card to pc is the best possible workflow

So turn off the camera, open the memory card slot cover which is flimsy 1mm prong, eject the card, insert it in the reader (if you have SD reader) or fiddle the microSD first from the convertor and then insert, copy, (insert microSD to SD convertor), open up slot cover, insert the card.

Surely beats just connecting the camera to the WiFi (which it does have anyway) and downloading through SMB. Suuure.

S9900 from 15 years ago had a built-in GPS receiver (and absolutely unneeded and never updated POI system). P1100 needs a smartphone for GPS for whatever reason - and app doesn't work 5 times from 5. But the latter is on me, I knew what I would get when I bought Nikon.

> So our first principle is to have a backup, i.e. a copy of your files someplace else. So far so good.

So who are we? A household with a localhost administrator?[0]

Then you are surely doesn't need encrypted, chunk-level corporate level bla-bla-bla.

You need a Syncthing copy to some other device not at home - and an additional backup procedure to maintain the history and protect against PEBKAC errors - which can run on your local Syncthing copy or/and the other one.

And no, nobody needs your 555GB of RAWs of sunsets/flowers/precious_family_moments you shot - not even you.[1]

[0] well considering the tone of TFA and most of the comments here

[1] that's Instagram/Google Photos/iCloud for nowadays, totally with "Remember this day N years ago?"

No. But, well, yes: if you use BE - you will need a restore pretty soon.

I'm the person who actually experienced BE walking around the file server and deleting files. Helpful suuport person had done the needful and said what this is not an issue and it wouldn't be reported as a bug.

> Next best thing looks like the "object lock" feature on object store services that prevents deleting objects for a certain time.

Lol, no. "As of today we are closed. Goodbye."

Especially considering what giving even a two weeks now considered "generous".

Literal "Thing, Japan" expect s/Japan/Germany

This one. Recently I added "re-f" property to my templates for the Review base in Obsidian ie how probable a review/reread/rewatch factor that title has. And it's quite liberating to juas write zero there and remove/delete the title. Also helps with datahoarding tendecies.

Most of us like to use our mind. Just some prefer not to on a boring and dull senseless corporate solutions. If they can.

Because it involved a full backup - which wasn't anywhere fast on Proxmox, reinstalling the host, a full restore and then tinkering with the famous "runs everywhere (and not Java!)" boot shenaningans of that flavour of Linux OS.

And that was with the help of a backup-recovery solution which did support Proxmox, mere 6 months before that I would had stuck with an agent P2V migration of a VM to VM - which would had involved way more moving parts (can't P2V/V2V to a hypervisor which is not even installed yet) and more pain.

I have some bad news for you: "inspect" the whitespace to the left of any comment here.

> Is there something more to the process of VM migration from VMWare than just using this tool (and manually creating the proper virtual hardware profile in the new hypervisor)?

Yes? Do that for the hundreds of VMs, with a minimal downtime, bonus points for a dumb C-level on your neck.

You would quickly learn what "just converting disk images" is not enough for moving between hypervisors.

Just as an example: last year I moved a company with two Proxmox servers to ESXi. It took a 3 months and another server as a staging point. A minuscule in modern times 1TB+ VM took a whole weekend to be moved. Of course it didn't work in that time.

Yes, yes, everyday I share myself a glass of milk from the fridge. Sure.

You are rely here on the assumption what your resolver already knows what the zone is DNSSEC signed. If your forwarder or resolver strips that information?..

NB: Despite explictly mentioning 3-2-1 at the start TFA do not describe a proper 3-2-1 strategy.

Nobody says "I'm downloading and installing an app from the official store for the platform". It's "installed an app" at best. And yes, Android phones had "an official" stores besides Play Market.

> then a little voice would tell me

You may not answer if you don't want to but from an idle curiosity: do you have an inner monologue in your regular life?

> Photos I took for a mugshot in this period show a slight shine in my eyes that I hadn't befor

It's always fascinated me how 'the mirror of the soul' not only a very apt metaphor but how we see it even when it's a still shot.
