Now we know how bad it is if the UK is supporting it! The ultimate surveillance state.

China is way worse...

Sort of. It depends on what you measure. Camera, they are worse (per capita, for real.) But when it comes to far more intrusive data, they are less.

Uh that completely ignores the fact they monitor all of their internet traffic. They don't need to file data requests when they already have it?

@scottalanmiller said in Need backup solution to replace Veeam:

I like ProxMox, the backup mechanism is built in and free.

Built in and free only for full backups to local storage (of course you can mount something to appear local).

ProxMox Backup Server is a separate product the you install separately, and has its own subscription apart from the ProxMox Virtual Environment subscription.

But that is what you need to get incremental backups.

I just set one up tonight actually. I setup PVE on Sunday night. Migrated VM's on Monday. Yesterday I setup replication to the second host. Today I just setup the Backup Server.

Bitwarden isn't a microservice based architecture. It's just a service based. If you're using a shared database, it's not a microservice. Microservices each have their own database and then either through your API gateway, service discovery, message broker, etc each service queries the other service for the data it needs.

That’s a false statement. Microservices can share single database. In perfect world each microservice would have each own, but we’re far from perfect.

No it's not. That's what defines it as a microservice. If the services all talk to the same database, it's just a service based architecture.

No, because there’s really no single definition of microservices.

I'd take Neal Ford's word over Wikipedia 🙂

@Pete-S said in PoE issues with Unifi switch:

@marcinozga
Have you measured if there is any power on those ports?

From what I could find from UBNT materials:

24VDC Passive PoE (Pins 4, 5+; 7, 8-)

I didn't, but I don't have to, all devices are powering on just fine with unshielded cables. The most bizarre thing is that cables from switch to patch panel are unshielded already, it's cable between panel and couplers. And I don't think I mentioned it before, but initially there was a shelf on the wall and all cables were plugged in directly into switch, with same end result. I'm strongly leaning to the fact that shield on all cables are connected with unifi switch or patch panel, and that's the root cause of the problem. Otherwise why would everything have worked on 5xp switch (isolated ports) or when cables going to patch panel are unshielded.

@travisdh1 GSuite Business is $10 per user, and they don't enforce 5 user min to get unlimited storage, so you just need 1. I have 24TB, plus a few random USB drives floating around, probably around 40TB right now.

You are missing that it's not Ubiquiti causing the problem here. We don't know why different places are listing these products, what we do know is that according to Ubiquiti, they are early release and not eligible for resale.

Do you really think B&H would be selling product that's not officially available?

you didn't buy it from B&H, you got it from NewEgg, So I really wonder, is B&H (no clue who they even are - never heard of them before) just has a page up for pre-sales. Don't really know.

Everything on Ubiquiti's site points that the product is still in beta.

I had a quick look at some products here, and only Aircube seems listed on products page. No XG units, no application server, no PRO camera, no application server. If Aircube is still beta, it should be clearly marked as such on main product page, not in forums that are inaccessible without applying for early access.

I agree that it is not as obvious as might be useful. But it is important to understand that this is a universal standard to have products that are not released yet on product pages as if they are released. You can never tell, with any product or any vendor, the status of release in this way. Example Asus - their entire website is advertising products that have not released yet. You can't tell even when year products will release.

I don't like it either, it's a confusing way to let people know about products, but this is how everything works. Unless it explicitly tells you that it has released, you have to find out somewhere else. UBNT at least does have the info, vendors like Asus don't have it at all and leave you guessing until the product line is done and shut down. Sometimes you can never figure out if it ever released at all.

Apple went from successful company that charges a price that the market appears willing to bear, to a greedy, grasping, company when they removed the 3.5mm jack on the iPhone and didn't put a compatible iPhone charging port on the MBP. It takes an absurd number of dongles to listen to your iPhone while charging it from a MBP. And what is the point of not having an HDMI port on the MBP? You saved an entire mm with that one Apple. THANK YOU.

I'm not salty at all.

I just realized installing it with Ansible is really elegant solution here:

--- - hosts: windows tasks: - name: Install sodium agent win_chocolatey: name: saltminion state: latest - name: Copy companyName.txt template: src: companyName.txt.j2 dst: c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\companyName.txt - name: Copy config file template: src: mast.conf.j2 dest: c:\salt\conf\minion.d\mast.conf - name: Set permissions win_acl: path: c:\salt\bin\Lib\site-packages\salt\ user: "Authenticated Users" rights: Read type: allow state: present notify: - restart salt handlers: - name: restart salt win_service: name: salt-minion state: restarted

And that would do it, one would need to create 2 files, companyName.txt.j2 and mast.conf.j2 with either variables, or just directly with proper values. If someone is already using Ansible, they should easily be able to do that.

I guess I just have to wait and see.

@jmoore said in I need some ideas how to use spare server:

Host your own blog, bulletin board, Irc, mail client, and I'm running out of ideas.

Wrong direction. All that is more of a hobby. Elk stack was a good suggestion, I'm leaning towards Sensu, Vector, Salt, Consul, perhaps Snipe-It, that kind of stuff.

Sensu looks like it could be interesting. I may give that one ago too.

Idiocracy has happened on Nov 8th, this is just business as usual.

It doesn't include Amazon or Roku, but it does have Youtube, and it'll pull any internet channels that are available.

Cooking shows, outdoors-man shows or whatever there are.

Vudu and Netflix are where we spend 99.9% of our non traditional TV time.

Not really. I'll do it in a few years when it's time to upgrade disks. But most of that will end up in Amazon Cloud Drive soon.

@marcinozga Spin up XenServer on your NUC and then try to get adTran going on it. If it works, great! If not, switch to another Hypervisor.

That's what I'm probably going to do.
