If you don’t have backups, consider multiple drives in a RAID configuration.

instead of the 12T, consider 3 8T drives in a Raid-5 array. That way if one fails, you’ve not lost everything, and have time to repalce it and rebuild it - with ZFS (most NAS systems use ZFS) the rebuild is simple and online.

It’s just Debian, no surprises.

Truenas is hardened enough that it’s pretty hard to screw it up… you can’t install packages or anything like that… My goal was to have one server that’s “Production” so that I can nuke the lab from time to time as needed. (I have a proxmox server, a VMWare server, and one that bounces back and forth between nutanix and whatever else I want to play with at the time…

Also have another R730XD that I use for proxmox backup server, 6x 12TB drives (that were my nas drives before I got the 22TB upgrades) PBS is an amazing application, even when I’m not using the proxmox VM’s, the filesystem backups work like a champ, and it replicates backups to an NFS datastore in my other house (running on Truenas on a T630 under my desk)

Power Connectors, that’s the main bit…bit me in the ass on my last upgrade… I went from an RTX2070 to an AMD RX9070XT…went from a 6 and 8 to 3 8-pin connectors… Power Supply didn’t have an option… so new power supply to go with my new video card. :)

I love drones, it’s like skeet-shooting with prizes!

Saw an article that says proxmox backup client can be set up to be ZFS aware…will have to do more reading… (for backups)

Replication is always a point in time, and I keep two weeks worth of dailies.

Well that worked… Amaze! I copied the lemmy directory to my user directory, made the necessary changes in docker-compose, and boom, it came up. If I were to script the changes using sed, I could even have a full DR failover.

Not a bad idea…I’ll have to make some network changes in the docker compose and build a new macvlan for it…but it should be easily addressable by IP address. I did to a test startup of my mastodon DB and that did seem to work…

And I should probably block outbound traffic just to be sure it’s not trying to update the fediverse…

Cool, now I know what I’m playing with tonight. :)

the entire car is coded by low-bidder, it wouldn’t surprise me if there are hacks out there…which is why I don’t like computer controlled cars in the first place…

Anything connected to the internet can be hacked.

I’m just running docker-compose on the truenas itself… bonus points is docker ps shows me the truenas apps as well as the ones I’ve created… Downside is, no GUI indication of the docker-compose stuff.

I have a similar setup. 2x 250G hardware mirrored for boot, 4x 2TB SSD’s ZFS mirrored for apps, 12x 22TB Raid-Z2 for mostly static data (plex, etc) All in a single Dell PowerEdge R730 with 256G of ram and an RTX3050 in it, so I have plenty of room for apps and such.

By today’s standards it’s an expensive setup, but I only paid $189/each for the 22T drives back when I built it, so it wasn’t so bad then.

I have another container running the proxmox backup client that does a filesystem dump daily… Not bad, but I think postgres may not recover from that…

Right now 2 weeks of daily replicated snapshots are probably as good as I’m going to get…

Yeah, I think it should never be involved in decision-making… Pointing out a place for doctors to explore maybe…actually diagnosing? no.

Most of us are here to not be force-fed adverts…read the room.

I used to think that the benefit of using AI in medicine, specifically radiology, was plausible… There is SO much data in a CT scan or MRI that human eyes just can’t see, you lose soo much granularity converting a 3D scan to a 2D image on a screen so some bloodshot doctor can look at it…

AI should, in theory, be able to read a scan and find pinprick tumors or irregularities and at least tell the doctors where to look…

But now, watching LLM’s do their thing, I’m now convinced that there isn’t an AI around that is worth it’s weight in horse-shit.

Yeah… 2015 was about where cellular connected cars started being ubiquitous… And of course car manufactures were too cheap to put two computers in the car (one for infotainment, the other for engine management) so the modem has direct access to the ECU, which means throttle control, brakes, steering(?!), everything.

Some of the happiest moments of my childhood were getting a holly six-pack dialed in perfectly on my old Javelin… And balancing a six-pack is tricky as hell… ;-)

I’m a FIRM believer in fix-first… Too many people treat cars as disposable… and I maintain that keeping a 60 year old classic on the road is better for the environment than any new car… We (the world, not just the US) produce nothing but crap these days…cars have a life-expency of about 5 years, 10 at the outside (if you’re a non-BMW built Toyota that is)

My 2014 is 12 years old and still runs like it’s brand new… I’ll get another 15 years out of it easily… And when the engine dies, I’ll replace it.

The only thing that kills cars permanently is rust…rust is the only true killer.

I won’t own anything made after 2015… That’s when LTE chips started becoming standard in cars…

I told my wife, my next car will have a carbuerator.

Nope, fuck-no, not even close. Never going to fucking happen. I have dashcams inside (pointed out) but I keep the mic muted because I don’t need any of my ramblings recorded publicly… (I also have it set not to record speed… for obvious reasons)

I remember saying that in the early 2000s…

So wait, a technology built on stealing Intellectual Property suddenly has a problem with Intellectual Property theft?
