The
#TickTockBan
is handled the same way as the plastic bag ban at grocery stores. Good idea, poorly implemented, no alternative, no input from the people, and illogical reasons behind it. It doesn't stop at the bags, it doesn't stop at the apps, it doesn't stop with "Chinese".

TikTok's security threat was internal. The security threat was the people. Not the app. We were united, they were afraid, we didn't vote. This was not a security threat simply due to server location. If it was, we have so many methods to bypass that threat that is not just banning the thing. This was a power move that was a misjudgment and should not be blindly accepted as one made for the people's best interest.

Well that's fun... #TikTokBan
Got the new Btech RPT50 GMRS Repeater! Testing it out, testing the range, and seeing if it was worth it... Put it in my server rack along with my mini-server!

The Mini-Lab is complete!

4 Lenovo Thinkcentres with a Protectli box all in a #ProxMox cluster, and a #Synology NAS for all the files to be backed up to. Each box has 250gb SSDs so they can manage most of their own stuff, but the NAS helps for HA and backups. The NAS does a great job hosting my photos and media, and the other boxes do great at.... Everything else!

#homelab

Is #ProxMox capable of this? I want to make a server that is like a liveboot USB disk for Linux, where I can boot my desktop to ex: OS 1 - Ubuntu: and run programs that I would need extra resources for - then shut it down, then boot on my laptop the same OS 1 - Ubuntu and continue use. Each one saving files/installs to the server. Not like PXE, but like a thinclient, but using the local resources. Not the server. Is this possible?

#homelab

Anyone else got a potpourri cable bucket?

This thing is freaking SMOL. Say hello to SMOL-NAS. My new shared storage for the little Mini-PC ProxMox cluster.

None of the Mini-PCs had room for additional storage, so for VMs, CTs etc. I needed something they could all share. This is just about as big as those PCs and all fits on the same shelf!

#ProxMox #Synology #NAS #homelab

So far so good! Migrating 6TB of data over the network to spinning-disk HDDs to a #Synology #NAS for a temporary hold while I get my servers set up to have redundant file storage. Originally 30TB of various old HDDs will be consolidated in to two 6TB drives per server for 12TB. No need for RAID when the hardware IS the RAID!

#homelab #datahoarder

Wish me luck! Removing a couple of drives from the pool. Always makes me nervous when I mess with critical data. But I need to make a redundant server to prevent future loss due to hardware loss.
