Cake day: July 7th, 2023

help-circle


  • I work IT for my day job managing a datacenter and cloud infrastructure.

    I host mostly Plex, home assistant, and immich. Immich has its data backed up, I don’t care about Plex data. If it all dies, so be it.

    I have a server coloed that houses some websites and email, plus some random other things I’ve setup and tested. It’s got backups, and downtime is fine.

    If my self hosted stuff dies, it doesn’t matter. Nothing in my life ultimately relies on it.

    There is a reg key to add that disables bing search.

    What I fucking hate, is that I exclusively use the start menu to start apps I’ve installed, but typing in the name of an app doesn’t show the installed app at all, just fucking ads. They literally took away the only functionality of the start menu unless I do a very intuitive method of reverting it.

    I wouldn’t, you’ll lose a lot not having it manage the disks such as using dissimilar disks for the array and having it spin down unused disks. You might be able to pass disks through so the unraid VM can manage them directly, but it might be harder than I’d personally want to deal with.

    If you aren’t running VMs much. Truenas scale I believe can do docker well. I’ve seen a lot of people put that in a VM on proxmox with disks passed through to be used as the NAS portion.




  • I’m going to be falling into a stepfather role this summer when my girlfriend and her daughter moves in. We’ve already kind of talked about marriage.

    I’m nervous as all hell, but the girlfriend says I’m doing great so far. Her daughter loves me and I try to handle her by leading her rather than telling her. If she doesn’t want to take a nap, well then I guess it’s time for me to take a nap and she’ll follow. When she doesn’t want to go to bed, then I’ll play like I’m going to lay down and sleep in her bed and she’ll kick me out because it’s hers.

    She’s a smart cookie, and I’m excited for it all. I’m excited to take her to extracurriculars and chaperone field trips. I’m scared shitless. But excited.


  • Plex data, pi hole, and home assistant don’t contain anything meaningful. No credentials are stored in a form that can be reused.

    The most sensitive is immich, which I’m more concerned about backups than I am someone might steal my nudes. Their online anyway.

    Email is hosted off-site and I still have physical files for a lot of my documents. If someone stole hdds out of my server, they’d get a lot of Linux isos, pictures of cars, porn, tons of versioned software and games installers, etc.

    Maybe my definition of sensitive is different than yours though.

    Outside of a web scraper, how sure are we that this poisons reddits actual data being sold to ai companies? It seems trivial for them to have an original comment field in the database that’s invisible to users or just use backed up data. Or even an anonymized copy of all all original comments not linked to any account that is solely for AI training.




  • So many people didn’t read the post and going off how raid isn’t backup.

    There are a few things to consider. How much data is it? How is it connected? How reliable do you want it to be? Where is it going to be? How are you backing it up? How will you monitor the disk(s) and backup process for failures?

    Is it at some place that will be a pain to deal with if a hard drive dies, like a friend’s house or something. I’d deal with raid so it wouldn’t be an immediate reason to go fix it or go without backups.

    Is it small enough amounts of data that you could have a complete third copy if you didn’t put the disks in raid? Then I’d probably make multiple copies and not use raid.

    Are you dealing with something like veeam doing backup chains? Having an initial copy and then incremental with changes where you can go back to different days? Go with raid because having to reconfigure can be a hassle or having a full and incremental across jbods could cost you all the backups if the disk with the full backup is lost.

    Either or is a valid choice and depends on your particular needs.
