FYI, zfs is pretty fucking fragile, it breaks a lot, especially if you like to keep your kernel up to date. The kernel abi is just unstable and it takes months to catch up.
Which is part of why I don’t trust zfs on root.
Worst case you can sometimes recover with zfs-fuse.
That’s literally what I’m saying.
Are you being semantic?
They realized the revenue as dividends, which is exactly what the link says.
Nfs, it’s good enough, and is how everyone accesses it. I’m toying with ceph or some kind of object storage, but that’s a big leap and I’m not comfortable yet
Zfs snapshot to another machine with much less horsepower but similar storage array.
Debian boots off like a 128gb Sata ssd or something, just something mindless that makes it more stable, I don’t want to f with Zfs root.
My pool isn’t encrypted, don’t consider it necessary, though I’ve toyed with it in th past. Anything sensitive I keep on separate USB keys and duplicate them, and I use luks.
I considered virtiofs, it’s not ready for what I need, it’s not meant for this use case and it causes both security and other issues. Mostly it breaks the demarcation so I can’t migrate or retarget to a different storage server cleanly.
These are good ideas, and would work. I use zvols for most of this, in fact I think I pass through a nvme drive to freebsd for its jails.
Docker fucks me here, the volume system is horrible. I made an lxc based system with python automation to bypass this, but it doesn’t help when everyone releases as docker.
I have a simple boot drive for one reason: I want nothing to go wrong with booting, ever, everything after that is negotiable, but the machine absolutely has to show up.
It has a decent ups, but as I mentioned earlier, I live in San Jose and have fucking pge , so weeks without power aren’t fucking unheard of. I’m away from home so it has to come back after the fairly regular outages. I have some leeway, but my entire infrastructure is on it, so not much.
No, not at all.
They’re rejoicing, because the cleansing fire of Atom is at hand!
Nah.
The civil war resulted in the horribly and completely evil south being knocked out of national political dominance for decades.
That led to the rise of the US as a global super power, including the transcontinental railroad and the progressive movement of Teddy Roosevelt.
Their return to political prominence is accompanied by the fall of America as the greatest hyperpower in human history.

The TCJA generally eliminated taxes on dividends, or repatriated earnings, to U.S. multinationals from their foreign affiliates. Dividends of $776.5 billion in 2018 exceeded earnings for the year, which led to negative reinvestment of earnings, decreasing the investment position for the first time since 1982. Tables 3 and 4 provide information on the country and industry breakdown of dividends.
By country, nearly half of the dividends in 2018 were repatriated from affiliates in Bermuda ($231.0 billion) and the Netherlands ($138.8 billion). Ireland was the third largest source of dividends, but its value is suppressed due to confidentiality requirements. By industry, U.S. multinationals in chemical manufacturing ($209.1 billion) and computers and electronic products manufacturing ($195.9 billion) repatriated the most in 2018.
Have the rack mounted one, I usually roll my own router but I’m glad to have someone else making sure I don’t do anything stupid for security.
It’s not perfect, but it’s peace of mind.
Zfs on Debian on bare metal with nfs server. Edit: and it hosts the worker vms
Vlan for services with routed subnet
Sriov connectx4 with 1 primary vm running freebsd and basically all my major services in their own jails. Won’t go into details, but it has like 20 jails and runs almost everything. (had full vnet jails for a while which was really cool but performance wasn’t great).
1 vm for external nginx and bind on Debian vm on isolated subnet/Vlan and dmz for exposed services
1 vm for mailinabox on dmz subnet/Vlan
1 Debian vm on services vlan/net for apps that don’t play well with freebsd, mostly dockers, I do not like this vm, it’s basically unclean and mostly isolated.
Few other vms for stuff.
It’s a Dell r730 with 2 2697(or 2698? 20c/40t each) with 512gb. Edit: v4 so broadwell
12x16tb hgst h530s with 2 nvme drives and 2 Sata ssds, somewhere in there is a zlog and l2arc.
Can’t figure out how to fit a decent GPU in there so currently it’s living on my dual Rome workstation, this system is due for an upgrade, thinking about swapping the workstation to a much lighter one and push the work to the server, while moving the storage to a dedicated system, but not there yet.
Love freebsd though, don’t use it as my daily driver, tried a bit, it worked but there was just enough trouble to not make it work, but freebsd has moved on and so have i, so it’s worth a shot again.
Decent i/O, but nothing to write home about, think it saturates the 10g but only just, I have gear for full 100g (I do a LOT of chip startups, and worked at a major networking chip firm a while) but it takes a lot more power, and i have PGE so I can’t justify it till I can seriously saturate it.
Also I’m in process of moving to Europe, built a weak network here and linked via wire guard, but shit is expensive here and I’m not sure how to finish the move just yet, so I’m basically 50/50 including time at work in the valley.
ZFS, hands down, it doesn’t even begin to hurt the SSDs, it’s basically the best choice, just try to not fill the whole volumes or it starts thrashing like crazy.
ZFS has encryption, but LUKS is fine too.
I’ve run Raidz2 for well over a decade, never had data loss that wasn’t extremely my fault, and I recovered from that almost immediately from backed up snapshot.
He wasn’t successful at anything.
He slashed the corporate income tax and due to an effective amnesty on repatriation many large MNCs brought stashed offshore cash and cut R&D to register massive earnings for his last 2 years.
Ironically, this started to dry up right around Q1 2020… Then COVID drowned out everything.
His response was to just pump $4T to employers with almost no documentation, thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.
No, everyone not appreciating what we had 7 months ago is what led to the status quo now.
But please keep whining like a 3 year old about how bad biden/kamala are and genocide Joe.
Actually, it was the Palantir Gotham threat model… which has a backend to a private chatgpt model :(
The status quo 5 months ago?
We can dare to dream.
Your reply has a lot of Yamcha energy.

Russia is ethnically cleansing Ukraine.
They’re replaying WW2, but this time they’re taking the part of Hitler.
Fuck your whataboutism, the Russians have to be taught to stay in their filthy country.
Edit: again. They’re ethnically cleansing Ukraine again.

U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.
Putin was brilliant, his moves until 2008 were a perfection of geopolitical chess.
After that he completely lost the plot, his terror at the rise of China completely broke his mind, he felt he had to show strength less Russia become a vassal state and resource depot for the CPC.
And he wasn’t wrong, but his response was stupid, and relied on Europe continuing to follow Merkel’s ‘nice doggy’ policies.
Now he thinks he can act anyway, because his sponsored right-wing groups will cause enough dissent that nobody will stop him from taking the baltics.
Perhaps we should also have Russians charging through, bayonetting children and raping young women while they’re at it?
Fuckers broke the peace of Europe.
If they don’t pay in all their blood then we are rewarding people for causing more war.
Power levels are bullshit.
Aussies: “Yeah, but does it also come in venomous snakes?”
