Show your effective sshd server config: sudo sshd -T

Seriously this. Any comment about a complicated system that starts with “just” can be ignored 99% of the time.

Also, there are 4k forks of Ventoy already. Obviously forking it isn’t helping. Actual work needs to be done.

Both, actually, and those things are directly related. If I need to migrate a single thing to another machine it’s just rsync and make run. Of course this requires the bare metal to have docker and make, so some bare metal configuration management is also needed.

25 GB per day? I don’t even HAVE fiber, I’m stuck with fucking Comcast, which might I add is down right now. Typical.

Personally I run almost everything in docker, with the launch configs stored in git, backed by zfs. This means that if the host dies I can import that zpool, docker compose up -d and be done with it.

I suppose the same could be done with VMs or LXC. The main thing is to keep it all separate from the bare metal OS, and in a technology that allows quick provisioning from a launch config of some sort, be it makefile, shell script, docker-compose, or whatever.

Yeah, Reddit is Digging its own grave.

Anybody who doesn’t already have ipmi serial console access set up needs to put that on their list of acceptance criteria for remediation of this incident.

boot their servers from a Linux live usb

If I ran a computer lab that wasn’t already net booted, I’d use this as the motivating factor to put that in place. Net booting to a repair image, or just reinstalling the whole OS either from scratch or a known good disk image, is where anybody who manages a fleet of computers should be.

There was a point in time where I had a pxe boot server vm set up on my laptop that I used to reload servers in our little row of racks at 365 main, because it let me quickly swap out the boot iso, and was faster than usb sticks were at the time.

Or use rename

$ touch foo{1..5}.txt
$ rename -v 's/foo/bar/' foo*
foo1.txt renamed as bar1.txt
foo2.txt renamed as bar2.txt
foo3.txt renamed as bar3.txt
foo4.txt renamed as bar4.txt
foo5.txt renamed as bar5.txt
$ rename -v 's/\.txt/.text/' *.txt
bar1.txt renamed as bar1.text
bar2.txt renamed as bar2.text
bar3.txt renamed as bar3.text
bar4.txt renamed as bar4.text
bar5.txt renamed as bar5.text
$ rename -v 's/(.*).text/1234-$1.txt/' *.text
bar1.text renamed as 1234-bar1.txt
bar2.text renamed as 1234-bar2.txt
bar3.text renamed as 1234-bar3.txt
bar4.text renamed as 1234-bar4.txt
bar5.text renamed as 1234-bar5.txt

If I were starting over I’d check out pyinfra.

What is DNI? Do not insinuate? Do not improvise?

It’s just one more thing that shows how Christianity is an abusive relationship. The Christian god makes you explicitly ask for things like health and happiness instead of just providing what he knows we all want, and even then he’ll give your 1 year old leukemia because torturing a child to death is a great way to test the faith of that child’s family.

One thing about being in an abusive relationship is it’s so hard to see that you’re in one until after you’ve left.

I used to pray all the time, and none of it came true, which is one thing that led me away from Christianity. Surprisingly I still feel the urge to pray, even 10+ years after becoming an atheist and 10+ years of regular meditation, though I recognize it now as me working through my thoughts.

Honestly though, I miss the sentiment of “I’m praying for you” when shit gets tough, like when somebody you know gets cancer. “I’m sending good vibes your way” just doesn’t sound as sincere, even though it’s just as trite.

I’m mid 40’s and I literally just finished making jello with my elementary school aged daughter. We’re still waiting for it to solidify. Last time we did it a few weeks ago we used cold water and it solidified pretty quickly.

Plex used to have a distro that booted straight to Plex and that was it. You could control it using your tv remote if your tv supported HDMI-CEC. I’m not sure if it still exists. I guess it wouldn’t be any better than openelec though. 🤷‍♂️

Could you be more objective about what you want and don’t want feature wise? I don’t know about other folks but I’ve never used android tv so I don’t know what you mean when you say that’s similar to what you want.

Edit: I’m pretty sure the Plex software I was talking about was based on this archived repo, so it likely isn’t a modern option https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player
