60%, yay...

Yet another sad day. Must, train, more, Linux/UNIX sysadmins!

This is insanely basic, standard network knowledge, too. SFTP uses this too. How do people not know the most basic of networking!?!?

I forgot about SFTP, mostly because I haven't used it instead of scp for years.

Most people don't even know the difference...

60%, yay...

@johnhooks I thought about something like this myself, but more in the context of LUKS on a Pi without storing the key on the SD-Card. Would be interesting to see your approach

4-8 GB for the OS? what OS are you running so lean on?

4GB is plenty in a core Linux system, even with a full blown desktop and a running LibreOffice for example.

Sounds valid, but keeping things up to date might be an issue.

@Minion-Queen that was me, hope it's just a false positive. Was reported by latest stable Sophos Endpoint AV.

Just ordered two musical tickets for our wedding anniversary. Hope she likes it

@scottalanmiller, @Dashrender: Thanks.

@scottalanmiller: You're aware of this? It's German, but should be obvious. Intercepted by Sophos AV.

@scottalanmiller Oh, that can be topped. There's a professional german ice hockey team, Nürnberg Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers (http://www.icetigers.de/). Thomas Sabo is a well known fashion jewelry brand.

So a lot of tough guys and lots of fashion jewelery

@scottalanmiller Just saw it in the news. Strange world we live in.

We should bring some discipline into this

@wirestyle22 Great, good luck on your new gig.

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Only six disks, that's pretty small.

Well, that was a tradeoff. Couldn't afford the spindles for RAID 10. Using this setup, you're only loosing 1/3 of the capacity while having at least a bit of write performance. Plus, rebuild time and risk is acceptable.

@scottalanmiller well, that depends on a few factors. One of my systems is running a RAID 60. A stripe over 5 stacks of 6 disks in RAID 6. Don't ask why, it's there for a reason.

Anyway, each disk is 1TB NL-SAS @ 7.2k RPM. Rebuilding a failed disk in a stack takes roughly 16 to 20 hours.

@thwr said in What Do You Use? - Send/Receive Large Files, Securely:

We're using a self-written one-time uploader.

Step 1: User or customer is using a form on a HTTPS protected site to

1. Enter his mail address
2. The recipients address (restricted to our team) and
3. Upload a file

Step 2: Recipient gets a mail with a one-time link
Step 3: Within 7 days the recipient can download the file exactly one time. It will be deleted as soon as the last byte has been sent.
Step 4 (optional): In case the file wasn't downloaded within 7 days, it will be deleted by the system. Sender and recipient will get a notification

Wasn't written by me, but should not be too complicated.

Ah, what I forgot... In case you want to send someone outside the file (so not receiving), you need to send it to yourself. Just forward the mail / link to the intended recipient et voila. Not works as good as a workaround

@hobbit666 hehe, did so a few weeks ago. "I'm not kissing no egg". Love that movie.

@aaronstuder said in VMware Support Sucks:

Does anyone know if I pay for a higher level of support, will I get better support? Maybe talk to someone in the United States?

Alternatively, work with a VMWare partner. Sometimes the best support does not come from the vendor directly.

^^ This. Best Nexenta support I've ever seen was from their German technical sales team. We call that "kurzer Dienstweg" -> roughly "Short route through official channels / ways".

@thwr oh no, this TASTES like alcohol. It BURNS.

I'm drinking the one in the picture right now. I'm friends with the distiller, too.

Must be something similar then. TBH, I don't know much from that evening anymore, nor does anyone else who was with me
