Oooh. Put it in the machine once more? :)

Once again I don’t get the hype.

I’m not sure which clients are used to connect. Perhaps some proof of work challenge for the connecting client to solve first? Anubis does this for http(s) and browsers. I’ve seen it in the wild quite often in the last weeks, so it seems to be effective (until the scrapers learn to use selenium to mimic browsers or so).

Thanks.

Since virtiofs has been developed for this scenario, it would be sane to use it for VMs. Thanks for the hint.

I will look into it. Some users had issues to get it running with incus - older unsupported libvirtd versions in the distri. Also dxa isn’t supported, yet. But maybe it is still better than NFS performance wise.

Moot point. I do not really need the distributed storage part for my scenario. Not right now.

Maybe I start with NFS and explore gluster as soon as storage distribution is needed. Looks like it could be a drop-in eplacement for NFSv3. Since it doesn’t access the block devices directly, I still could use the respective fs’ tool set (I.e. ext4 or btrfs) for maintenance tasks.

Thanks. I will take a closer look into GlusterFS and Ceph.

The use case would be a file storage for anything (text, documents, images, audio and video files). I’d like to share this data among multiple instances and don’t want to store that data multiple times - it is bad for my bank account and I don’t want to keep track of the various redundant file sets. So data and service decoupling.

Service scaling isn’t a requirement. It’s more about different services (some as containers, some as VMs) which should work on the same files, sometimes concurrently.

That jellyfin/arr approach works well and is easy to set up, if all containers access the same docker volume. But it doesn’t when VMs (KVM) or other containers (lxc) come into play. So I can’t use it in this context.

Failover is nice to have. But there is more to it than just the data replication between hosts. It’s not a priority to me right now.

Database replication isn’t required.

Thanks for asking. I left that detail out. An SSD which is attached to the virtualization host via SATA. I plan to use either a LVM2 volume group or a BTRFS with subvolumes to provide the storage pool to Incus/LXC.

Doesn’t work for me. Self inflicted DDOS?

It tells the story of an immigrant to Russia who tried to gain the Russian citizenship and received a first line place in the ongoing war.

So it’s not a pro-Russian tale, yes.

I’m not in their target audience.

Tripwire and auditd can monitor a filesystem and notify you about changes. I don’t know the tools myself, because i never needed them. Maybe these can give you a hint on the responsible service.

If you suspect a certain service to be responsible: what do the logs of the service say? If nothing: increase the loglevel to info or debug?

Sorry. No solution. Just ideas. Good luck.

Um. Let’s say, it’s a good thing for us and earth’s space mechanics and weather that the moon is like it is right now.

Some say the earth would spin faster if the moon wasn’t there at all.

Not sure how big the effect of space mining could be on moon’s mass. To be fair I’m more concerned that someone will use the moon as a giant billboard some day. :)

astronomical

: D

It’s better than carving up the ocean floors or the usual opencast mining here on earth. And it could be an incentive to invest into space technology.

But there will be disadvantages too, which are invisible to us right now. I’m sure of it.

Joachimsthaller

Please don’t. One L is enough. …It is complicated: Joachimsthaler (Joachimstaler since the 1900s). Thank you. ;)

TIL that the original meaning of the word Taler is “from the valley” (Tal).

Yes. The blind in the right eye symptom seems to be real. Sadly.

It doesn’t change anything about the compact verdict from my point of view. But this injustice feels unfair and people do not feel represented and protected by the state (with the known consequences). The state has the Gewaltmonopol (monopoly on the use of force). For me this implies, that the state has the duty to nvoke its rights equally, regardless of the side.

The Bundesverwaltungsgericht says no. And constitutional scholars state that one has to endure uncomfortable and ugly opinions (Freiheit Tag und Nacht aushalten, goes the saying, I heard.)

It is stated that hate speech and anti-constitutional tendencies are protected under free speech as long as they are not personal insults or Incitement to ethnic or racial hatred. The Bundesverwaltungsgericht came to the verdict, that compact didn’t do that, I guess? My last data point stems from a comment by Tilmann Steffen in die Zeit about the begin and the goals of the trial.

To be clear, I’m worried about the current up-rise of right wing parties and groups in Europe (and about the success of the politians who make these extremist statements their own, to gain influence). But I wouldn’t want to ignore constitutional rights to protect the constitution.

Assholes should be allowed to publish media, too.

For almost any topic there is a group who wants to ban it, because they don’t like it. Lets please everyone. And In the end there is nothing left.

I mean we can’t allow everything. But there needs to be a good reason, backed by a law and a judge’s verdict.
