Productivity is a measure of how much you can get done in a block of time. It doesn't have anything to do with end goals.

It's a bit of a silly question like asking what fuel mileage has to do with where you drive to.

Gwar. I hate that kind of music tbh, but saw them at a festival and it was one of the best shows I've seen.

It's a sophisticated scam where they take you for all you have.

  1. hire models to talk to guys on tinder
  2. convince them to download a fake crypto app you created
  3. have them invest a small amount and let them take out more than they put in to gain trust
  4. convinced them to invest it all
  5. don't let them take it out when they "win", tell them they need to pay escrow fees
  6. don't let them take it, say there's problems with the escrow service, and make them pay more to fix it
  7. don't let them take it out, say the minimum transfer went up, make them invest more to take it out
  8. when they call out it's a scam, have the actress say she's being held captive until she scams enough money to buy back her life/family/whatever and convince the victim to pay it
  9. when they realize that's still the scam, tell them you're sorry and they can get in on it to make their money back. Have them wire you money for lessons and access. Don't deliver

Had a contractor working on my basement who fell for a pig butchering scam. Took him for 50k

I didn't understand from that article how the c2 server reaches the malware.

How could a remote server access the draft emails on a hosts Outlook client? I can see how the client can manipulate them and stuff data to avoid detection, but I don't see how the c2 server access them.

Maybe I need to know more about the graph API?

Fail2ban is not a static security policy.

It's a dynamic firewall. It ties logs to time boxed firewall rules.

You could auto ban any source that hits robots.txt on a Web server for 1h for instance. I've heard AI data scrapers actually use that to target big data rather than respect web server requests.

Meanwhile the tv will bombard you with wifi connection request modal popups. Lol

Dumb TVs exist, and they're 5x the price of smart TVs.

Ads and data mining subsidizes the hardware cost. If you want cheap TVs you get spyware and ads.

Routing takes place on layer 3 (ip) so destinations are ip networks and hosts.

Each packet you create has a destination IP. Your computer looks at your route table to see where it goes by matching the destination ip with each network. It will be sent to the most specific match first and your default gateway last.

If you're default gateway is you're vpn server via your vpn interface then you just need to add more specific route for destinations of interest through a different gateway (you're router) via the physical interface

Raw disk access is a privilege in Linux, usually reserved for root.

You could have root change the permissions on the directory to allow another user or group write access.

 

So I posted not too long ago that I had a drive failure in my RaidZ pool. Ordered a replacement disk (WD RED, purpose built for NAS), and tried resilvering only to see this after a short while...

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10214 https://www.truenas.com/docs/hardware/notices/componentarticles/wdsmr/ https://blog.westerndigital.com/wd-red-nas-drives/

Turns out WD started pushing out a new disk technology called SMR, that's slower, and fails when rebuilding RAIDs due to heavy write operations, and specifically marketed it towards NAS users? WTF Western Digital?!

Anyway, disk RMAd, and a replacement CMR disk is on the way. I'll never buy WD drives again... Lesson learned the hard way.

 

Recently rebuilt my homelab using proxmox and k3s. I like it a lot! Also loving dashy over the old heimdall dashboard.

If you have any suggestions for workloads, let me know!

Oh no... (lemmy.ca)
 

Recently rebuilt my homelab. While restoring files to the new zpools, one of them had a few faults and ended up in a degraded state.

Replacement disk on the way, Hopefully resilvering the pool after disk replacement doesn't cause any more issues. Luckily, all the data is backed up as I recently rebuilt it, so no worries if it explodes.

 

Continuation of a post earlier in the week. I ordered pass through patch panels and premade cables due to bad connections, and everything is working great!

Getting rancher harvester installed now, then rancher, then setting up a small cluster to play with.

I may grab some OCI freetier and vpn to add another node.

 

A little update on the racking the basement lab.

New patch panel and cables made my life much easier. All the packets are flowing! Working out some KVM issues while I get rancher harvester deployed.

Patch panel was second hand, and unfortunately you get what you pay for. Fewer than half the ports are functional. I ordered some premade cat6 and a rj45 through connector patch panel to fix it.

 

Rack is wired (patch cables ordered). Unfortunately the second hand patch panel is a bad idea, less than half the ports are functional...

I ordered a rj45 cat6 through panel and a bunch of premade cables. Should be here at the end of the month!

 

Trying to cross post, not sure if I'm doing it right. Apologies if I'm breaking any rules!

Finally got around to racking up my lab! (Still needs wiring up, but that's tomorrows problem)

Top to bottom:

  • 1u PDU
  • 1u cable management
  • 1u custom super micro pfsense build
  • 1u tplink jetstream. 24x1Gbe 4x SFP
  • 1u cable management
  • 2u patch panel
  • 4u custom super micro server
  • A shelf with a UPS and a gaming rig (ryzen with a 1070ti)

Going to run rancher harvester + rancher vm + k8s cluster. Usual media stack, nextcloud, pihole, etc etc.

Mostly just want a cluster to play with and harvester seems fun!
