>>105621966
I mean you can, but there's tonnes available on ebay for around that price. They seem to be getting dumped as e-waste big businesses. My question is why? Are they out of support from ubiquiti now (the usual reason tech gets mass dumped)?

My issues are mainly choppy streaming and slow access, because this is done over some cheap chink generic USB 2.0 2.4 GHz WiFi dongle/adapter, I'm getting like 3MB/sec when transferring files.
Second, I need it connected all the time since sunshine won't work when there is no monitor connected
>Didn't buy those ghost plugs
Third, arch is truly a timesink distro, I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to get hardware decoding and it turns out the mesa drivers are not installed by default.
All in all it's pretty nice experience.

When setting up OPNsense with Unbound, AdGuard and local DNS resolution which configuration is better:

OPNsense uses AdGuard as its DNS server, which then forwards to Unbound, and Unbound finally queries an external DNS server (e.g., 1.1.1.1)?

or

OPNsense uses Unbound as its DNS server, which forwards all requests to AdGuard, and AdGuard then queries an external DNS server (e.g., 1.1.1.1)?

>forwarding and then forwarding and then yet more forwarding
jfc

>>105623459
can't you just point DNS to 1.1.1.1 (or 9.9.9.9) and skip all that? you can still use ublock origin in firefox, and that kills ads way better than a DNS blocker.

Any experience with Minisforum iron, mainy reliability and schizo anecdotes on how they call home?

does anyone know how to safely remove danboorus autotagger? Its eating up resources and i don't need it anyways. I tried removing it from docker-compose.yaml but i cannot upload things when its removed which defeats the point.

Pic related is my home server sitting behind my living room TV.
Radxa Rock5b, 32GB ram + 4TB Nvme drive & the OE passive heat sink case.
Running Armbian v25.5 (with the stable mainline kernel)

QBittorrent WebUI for downloads & DDClient to apply openDNS Adblock config.
Samba for SMB sharing over my LAN & infuse on client devices to handle metadata for movies & tv shows.

Setup is totally headless with configs done via SSH or X11 window forwarding to my MacBook.

Although I really like the RK3588, hardware acceleration isn’t fully implemented on the mainline Linux kernel yet. The 8 core CPU is still plenty fast for remuxing movies but if you want to take advantage of the dedicated video encoding VPU, you’d have to either wait for mainline support or use Rockchip’s vendor Linux kernel (at the potential expense of stability).

Overall, really happy with the setup. Idles at 37°C & totally silent. Full hardware support for the 3588 is slowly but surely being added to the mainline Linux kernel & everything is absurdly stable

8/10. Highly recommended to people who like to tinker

close your eyes...

>that? you can still use ublock origin in firefox, and that kills ads way better than a DNS
Running Unbound (or any local resolver) gives you faster DNS through local caching and reduces reliance on third-party upstream servers. It also lets you define internal zones, set up split-horizon DNS, override public records (useful for self-hosted services or testing), and create custom entries without touching external DNS. Gives you full control over how DNS works on your network.

>>105623459
im the anon from yesterday.
just pick whichever, its easy to swap it around later and you probably wont find a reason to anyway.
>>105626654
>faster DNS through local caching
you OS already does that. you didnt think your PC resolved 4chan.org every single time you refreshed the page, did you?
>reduces reliance on third-party upstream servers
oh im sorry, were you planning on resolving 4chan.org yourself? maybe get the mods to DM you the gateway every once in a while?

the rest is true tho so i guess you get partial credit.

wat

>>105627146
saying "local DNS reduces reliance on upstream DNS" is like saying "my router reduces my reliance on my ISP". like, what the hell do think your router is plugged into? when you ask Unbound/adguard/whatever to resolve 4chan.org, how do you think it does that?

If one had a w10 node that had access to a samba share hosted by a debian/*ubuntu system, what's the ideal choice of program to run natively in windows for the purpose of backing up any given filesystem/zpool to a specified folder on the windows machine?

>>105627188
Probably better to compare it to a caching web proxy than just your ISP, but yeah, your browser/os doesn't typically cache the web.

>>105627725
>browser doesn't typically cache the web
not sure what browser youre using but i frequently have to hit 'em wit' the ol' Ctrl+Shift+R to fix broken websites.
see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/cache

>>105627747
Looks like that relies on headers? The website would have to tell you if it's fresh or not? In that case it's exactly like dns caching. TIL

>>105621976
Probably just people upgrading to something better.

Apparently, people tried to get OpenWRT running on them so if someone can carry that forward they should have a future at least even if Ubiquity ends support themselves (not sure if they have or not).
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openwrt-support-for-the-ubiquiti-usg-pro-4/228635

You may be able to run other third-party firmware too, not sure if other router distributions have been ported or not. I'd probably try to avoid Ubiquiti's software anyway.

I've been trying all day to get a hello world website working on my newly-minted old laptop server. I can successfully ssh into it, but I cannot access it from a browser. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Any tips, /hsg/?

Can I put a rack in a closet? Or will I need to vent it somehow for airflow? Also the circuit for the light in there is 15A, but it only powers a few lights (which with LEDs draw little power now), so I can just get an outlet installed. Or will I need a 2nd circuit? It's right next to where the fiber comes in so it'd be ideal (I'm getting the 5Gbit).

>>105628397
Can you:
curl http://localhost


Could be as simple as a firewall configuration issue? You might have to allow access with Ufw or Firewalld or whatever it's running.

It's fucking over

>>105628547
Doing that on the server gets me a "welcome to nginx" html file; on my workstation it gets me a

`curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused`

Turning off the workstation's ufw doesn't seem to effect this at all.

I recently upgraded my desktop workstation's GPU and now have a spare RTX 2070 Super sitting in a box.

I have a home server with a Ryzen 5700X and 64GB ram but no dGPU. It is currently running Immich, Nextcloud and being used to store backups. What are some additional use cases if I added my old RTX 2070 Super to the server? From what I understand it's a bit weak for running LMs.
Does GPU-accelerated facial recognition make a big difference for Immich?

Don't suggest media server as I've already delegated those duties to my i5-9100 SFF Lenovo.

>>105628704
The firewall on your server. I meant and localhost is your computers machine so that won't work on your workstation. I only said to try that over SSH to see if the server is actually running.

On your workstation you would go to http://192.168.X.X where that's the IP address you're using to SSH into the machine.

my skullcanyon nuc runs esxi and keeps randomly rebooting, i have replaced the broken fan and I have no idea what to do to fix it.

So this is apparently completely unfixable
Let it be known that a failed umount on shutdown can completely and irrecoverably nuke your btrfs
Goddamn what a joke, am I better of just using ntfs?

>>105629001
Sounds like something more involved happened here. A failed unmount won't cause this alone, there are backup superblocks.

>>105629023
idk, I only even discovered it was a failed unmount when checking the logs the next boot.
Can't find any way to get it to mount now, trying to mount with backup root give something about global root already existing.

>>105622329
dont know why anyone is telling you to upgrade your hardware, it's obviously your rust thats the bottleneck here. though an update for your system is basically within the realm of "free" to 200 dollars

>>105629052
>your rust thats the bottleneck here
It's the cheap wifi, When connected to ethernet I get around ~50MB/sec
I'm not complaining but using it for watching 1080p is more than enough.
Game streaming is limited to 720p though, but I'm downscaling it anyway.
Also this whole thing is free, the only thing I paid for was the 3d printed case, and the M.2 to SATA adapter.

What is the intelligent (or at least MOST intelligent) way to buy used HDDs?
And I don't mean refurbished stuff, I mean going on a second hand website and seeing a post where some dude is selling hard drives in bulk.

>>105630013

Yeah, from my testing USB to SATA don't support SMART.
I had to use eSATA to SATA

>>105630049
It's a stupid idea from a latency perspective but it should be doable if your WiFi isn't complete crap. Being complete crap is their issue. You can get decent bandwidth out of WiFi 5 (802.11ac) which is ubiquitous at this point. Wifi 6 (802.11ax) and Wifi 7 (802.11be) only improve things further. Their problem is clearly the crappy USB 2.0 2.4 GHz dongle. You should be able to get at least 50mb/s under ideal conditions.

>>105622329
>>tfw fell for the Thinkcenter meme
>>i5-6500T
Is there anything you have trouble with besides the bandwidth issues? I had a Thinkcenter with he same cpu but wose specs and i had flawless hardware encoding/decoding for jellyfin. Unless i was scrubbing i would have no issues using it. Had two drives connected with their own usb thing and used LAN. Its a nice option i think but facing a potential HDD upgrade i needed more connectivity so i got a more traditional setup. But still, 3MB/sec is very weird.

>>105630080
Fuck
So assuming I could bring a laptop with me that only has usb (A and C) ports on it (excluding HDMI and SD card, naturally) my only real option for double checking the drives on location is to ask the seller if they have a computer I could use to check the smart data, right?

>>105630080
>Yeah, from my testing USB to SATA don't support SMART.
Must depend on the controller that's on the USB to SATA adapter/enclosure. It worked fine for me and i could even set spindown timers.

>>105630049
>im not an elitist but this is one thing i find truly horrifying
Why?
Other than bad speed, but realistically 3 MB/sec is more than enough for basic SSH, playing file over NFS.
Even gaming is fine, somewhat.
The reason It's on wifi,
1. I can get it in cooler location
2. I can set it up next to my TV so I can actually use the big monitor for movie night
3. Running wires isn't an option for me, and I'm already reaching it over wifi from my laptop

If I get better place, I can just connect it directly.
>>105630195
>Is there anything you have trouble with besides the bandwidth issues?
Not at all, it's solid experience over all.
Maybe because I've installed arch on it, but i checked the BIOS and cpufreq and I don't seem to be able to get over 2.8 GHz when doing something.
So I guess this is the limit for me.
>But still, 3MB/sec is very weird
It's the adapter mostly, since it's USB 2.0 and uses wifi4, max speed is about 54 Mbps, I tested with iperf3, and I'm getting around 33 Mbps

Anyone uses proxychain?
I have docker running service exposing socks5 proxy.
I want mpv to use that proxy for playing URLs.
Not sure if this is the right tool though.
Is it?

>>105623459
>Unbound, AdGuard, local DNS resolution, upstream recursive DNS server
The presumed need to include all of the above already sounds retarded.
Figure out what you want your setup to do and pick the solutions accordingly, not "here's a list of solutions, how can I shoehorn all of them together into some kind of half-sane setup".

>>105630330
>Why?
because it fills up your house with more wifi traffic, slowing down every other wifi device?

>>105630404
>slowing down every other wifi device?
I don't have smart home.
My wifi devices are (laptop/phone) and this.
Why do you feel the need to wifi everything? even your fridge?

>>105630330
>Not at all, it's solid experience over all.
Good to hear but im with the other anon on this one.
I don't know your situation but using anything else would be better than wifi. If possible use those outlet things that route through the electrical network. Wifi is just terrible for this. Its for things that need wireless transmission for moving things. But your server is stationary and chances are these outlet thingies can connect it to network anyways. Please consider them.

>>105630455
>If possible use those outlet things that route through the electrical network
I tried those, and I went against someone's here that told me it's piece of shit.
I got better speed with wifi.
Though I got some tenda things.
The anon told me it should all be on the same circuit.

>>105630581
>The anon told me it should all be on the same circuit.
Yeah they are very situational sadly. Its just hard to see such a nice setup being cucked by networking.
Hope it works out for you some day.

>>105628730
I think perhaps what I was doing wrong was, I was trying to use the WAN IP of the network rather than the LAN IP, if those are the right terms. I've set up port forwarding though, so I thought that the WAN IP should resolve to the server.

Is this a sign that something's gone wrong, or is it normal that you can't use the WAN IP from within the network?

Captcha: MGTND

>>105630455
those things are even more unreliable than WiFi.

>>105630648
>cucked
I cucked myself by marrying for a start.
And yes, but even then I'd be botteneck when connecting to it from my laptop which is also over Wifi.
Hopefully when I get better place to put all those together it would be nice.

>>105630350
you can try this, but my immediate concern is that mpv isnt linked to yt-dl like it is to ffmpeg, so i suspect intercepting mpv's libc calls wont do anything for those (which also means the URL that yt-dl hands to ffmpeg will have a proxy/no proxy mismatch).
if you put yt-dl inside a container and use the proxy for the whole container, then you can replace yt-dl with a script that pipes it into/out the container. but you would still need to use proxychain for ffmpeg.
if youre willing to do that, then arguably a more elegant solution is to put mpv in its entirety inside a container, and then get the window to render on the host, which isnt very hard to do since X11/Wayland work over sockets anyway.

>>105630966
I did and it worked perfectly fine.
proxychains mpv <url>
It even used cloudflare DNS, which depending on what you want might be a downside.
And for the record, mpv handle yt-dlp/ffmpeg as subprocess so for proxychains it's one command.
>if youre willing to do that, then arguably a more elegant solution is to put mpv in its entirety inside a container, and then get the window to render on the host, which isnt very hard to do since X11/Wayland work over sockets anyway.

>>105630662
>I think perhaps what I was doing wrong was, I was trying to use the WAN IP of the network rather than the LAN IP,
Lookup "hairpin NAT". Assuming you setup port forwarding correctly then this should work but your router has to route it directly to your LAN instead of it going onward through your ISP and looping.

my ngnix webui is on 192.168.1.11:81 (port 80 and 443 is what its listing to)

how do I make it so when i type in container.ngnix it'll reverse proxy to 192.168.1.11:81 ? I can't use adguard to resolve that since it automatically uses port 80 or 443

>>105631851
you cant have a hostname resolve with a port, thats not how that works. you can only get adguard to resolve container.nginx to 192.168.1.11. and im not sure why you think adguard using ports 80/443 play a role here, DNS uses port 53.
im sure whatever youre trying to do can be easily done with nginx, but im not sure what it is youre trying to do. can you about more specific about which machines/VMs/containers are running which software?

>>105631851
just add a vhost for whatever.domain to nginx to reverse proxy the web ui
and then tell your dns that whatever.domain is on 192.168.1.11
how are you using nginx but not know how to do that? presumably thats half the reason you're running nginx at all?
wtf does an nginx webui do anyway and why would it not be set up that way by default

>>105631851
>how do I make it so when i type in container.ngnix it'll reverse proxy
by using a reverse proxy

Have old j1900 board and at idle it draws 20w while everyone else is reporting 10w. Tried jumpstarting psu with paper clip and with no load so all the components disconnected it draws 10w. Is that normal? It's old dell psu from p4 times.

>>105632298
PSU is burning 10 watts? You should get a new one i think.

>>105632204
but nginx is a reverse proxy.

>>105622563
it's 14nm LGA1151 (low IO socket, the same is used in consumer CPUs), so it's pretty power efficient.
My R330, with 1x DIMM 1x SSD and after gutting the second PSU, read as low as 25W idle at the wall.

>>105632455
how fucking hot does that thing get jesus. why not put it in a plastic bag and seal it shut. why not set up a bunch of hair dryers and blast them directly into the intake.

Very stupid question:
If I connect two devices to a simple, unamanaged switch, would data from one to the other only go through the switch or would it still go through the connected router?

The context is that I have a home server and a PC, both have 2.5Gb RJ45 ports but they're connected through my ISP router which (iinm) only supports 1Gb per port.
If I were to get a simple, unmanaged switch that's advertised as supporting 2.5Gb per port and connect these two devices to it as well as the router, the bottleneck would be 2.5Gb rather than 1, right?

I'd also appreciate any other insights on small, dumb switches for home use.

>>105632455
Some more power data, picrel is R330 with 2x 3.5" HDD, 1x 2.5" SSD (system), 1x M.2 SSD in PCIe (cache for HDDs), 1x Mellanox ConnectX-3, running monerod (SSD) and some HTTP downloads (HDD) (so not idle, but not 100% util either).
>>105632504
what are you talking about, it doesn't get that hot at all. It's a low power CPU platform, like 80W TDP max, my proper tower workstation with E5v4 gets much hotter and louder that this.

>>105632455
>at the wall
I see what you did thar

>>105632298
Entirely normal me thinks
Even modern ATX PSUs are fucking shite at low loads and you're talking a PSU that was probably 75% efficient best case assuming it was properly loaded.
I'm actually surprised it didn't immediately shut off as some old PSUs require a certain percentage load to even be stable.

>>105631262
Thanks man, I was worried because the description made it sound like tor related process which isn't what I want.
>>105631351
nta, but for home server usage, it add too much overhead, and prevent access to certain hardware if you do passthrough.
Though bloated is big word here.
I'd say over complicate simple process would be better.
I mean it's hypervisor OS for enterprise settings not home server.

how do I make frigate (my cctv docker container) to be hidden in a custom internal docker network, and I access it using ngnix proxy manager (which is on internal docker and lan network), but problem is frigate docker container needs access to the LAN devices to access the CCTV feeds but I don't want IT to be accessable by the lan devices, only through the ngnix proxy manager

does proxmox have in browser display server support? e.g. can i get a DE from my browser?

proper application of firewall rules

I want a USB DAS for 5 bays with RAID5.
I plan to plug it in to a PC to back up files from the NAS (access NAS via PC, write from PC to DAS) in addition to other backups, this would be to repurpose older smaller drives that are not worth drive bays in my NAS itself.

Does anyone review these or is there some kind of list that explains how they work exactly? None of the manufacturers really explain anything.

I'm talking about specifics like....
Sleep timer exists Y/N? If so, what is it? Can it be adjusted? Can it be disabled easily without weird software?
On power loss and restore does a button need to be pressed to bring it back on?
Power brick or built in PSU?
If USB is removed from the host, will the drives power down? (I plan to turn it on/off via a USB hub with switches)
Proprietary or easily replaceable fan?

Because this is for backups I don't really care about throughput too much in MB/s but instead if it becomes a usability headache I'd rather just buy new big externals and retire my sets of smaller disks. If I can find something that works how I want it to, that would be great though.

My ideal would be
No sleep timer.
PSU switch on back for on/off. Not a button.
Built in PSU, no power brick.
Unit powers down when USB disconnects.
Easy to replace fan.

Do not use one of those small immature boorus. I did and i regret it. In my case i used szubooru and it began to have unacceptable slowdowns after 40GB of data. Something about the database is just terrible. Reading data was very slow too.

Im using danbooro right now and while its also not perfect, you cannot disable the auto tagger and going too fast on the API seems to make empty pages(seems like its 1520 ghost posts), its very fast still. I have imported 140gb and its still as fast as when it was fresh.
Its also a very fun programming project. I have to write a lot of tools that don't exist for danbooru and im all for it.

I bought multiple Mellanox ConnectX-3 and so far worked perfectly with Windows, Linux Mint, Unraid and Proxmox. I am using DAC-cables, whole system with Intel N100, single stick of RAM, 4 Sata SSDs draws about 13 watts idle. A few watts more when the NIC is under load but still very efficient

Thank you anons. What would explain the massive price difference between the two ? leaning towards the cheaper stuff considering this is a ghetto build.

>won't post hand

Peak nigger behaviour.

>>105634523
No idea about the price difference, I bought refurbed and went for Mellanox because they were cheaper and good enough for my use case. Might be different if you are running VMware or other pro stuff which only has a smaller compability range regarding NICs.

They should have pretty broad compability regarding SFPs, I would just google some options once you have decided on the NIC. If the cabling is not longer then 3m you should consider a DAC cable as well, since it needs less power compared to fiber modules

works very well, no problems with it.
You just have to put it on some wood slats to elevate it slightly to level, and to not scratch the floor.
Also you have to tuck it between something like i did, 1U on it's own it could easily fall on it's side if you nudged it.
>because that honestly looms like a really sleek way to do things
thanks, i don't have much space, and this is the best i came up with. Normally using rack server chassis means more space is needed, but in my case in vertical position it actually takes much less usable space than any tower build would.
Rack servers being generally very cheap while having all the nice enterprise features is a cherry on top.

Anon have you got your MD1200 set up so that the fans are nice and quiet?

>>105635820
yeah, i've soldered a DE-9 to DIN-6 cable to control the fans over serial port.
I only fill it with up to 5 disks, so it's ok, but i'd imagine if you filled all 12 slots you'd have to raise the fan level adequately to cool them.
The only fans MD1200 has are the ones in two PSUs in the back. For noise level and cooling a JBOD with a row of fans just behind the backplane would probably be a better idea, i saw some Supermicro model posted here with such fan configuration.
But for now i only use MD1200 for offline backups once a month. I'll need to expand soon though, then i'll run it 24/7.

im pretty new to this selfhosting stuff.
i set up some docker containers on my tiny ass server.
the server is literally jsut dockerserver.local.

i understand there is some way to do it so its jellyfin.dockerserver.local.
but how would i go about making it not be a subdomain?

>>105635866
How are you sending your commands over serial? Through something like crontab or a service? I'm currently doing mine through cron but it can be a bit finicky sometimes so if you have a different method I am all ears.

I'm currently running mine with 12 disks and its fine temperature wise with running the fans at 20%. Are you running yours with one control module or two?

A guy on serve the home did a test for power consumption with various controllers / psu / fan speeds

2 psus, 1 psu powered, 1 contr, stock = ~34w
2 psus, 1 psu powered, 2 contr, stock = ~43w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 1 contr, stock = ~49w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 2 contr, stock = ~57w

2 psus, 1 psu powered, 1 contr, 20% = ~26w
2 psus, 1 psu powered, 2 contr, 20% = ~35w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 1 contr, 20% = ~37w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 2 contr, 20% = ~50w

2 psus, 1 psu powered, 1 contr 25% = ~27w
2 psus, 1 psu powered, 2 contr 25% = ~36w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 1 contr 25% = ~39w
2 psus, 2 psu powered, 2 contr 25% = ~51w

>>105635941
for now i just call a script once after powering on the JBOD. The setting sticks most of the time, but i recall sometimes it resetting and having to run the script again, not sure what causes that.
>I'm currently running mine with 12 disks and its fine temperature wise with running the fans at 20%.
nice, that's good to hear!
>Are you running yours with one control module or two?
just one, i've gutted the second one to save power, as you're already mentioned. Sadly you can't really gut the second PSU completely, the power consumption could go even lower, but the JBOD would panic by overriding the fan speed to 100% every few seconds, and you loose half the cooling. Having both inserted and only one plugged to power should be fine though.

I'm trying to run this software when I turn on my server, but I can't figure out how to launch it once booted. To open the software you have to run a .jar file. Is there a way to automate this?

First homeservernon here. If I want a declarative/code based infrastructure I have to use nix? Or can you use terraform? Ansible is the only one I used before and I hate it

This might be a weird question, but does anyone use their server as a programming machine as well?

Though most of the time it was more of just a dropbox.
Anyway I want to start dipping my toes into running a server, but I also need a device I can code and compile on. I don't really mind using the methods I did while in college.

What's a good image gallery software I can host for public web viewing? I'm an HDR artist, and while I can upload SDR versions of my stuff just about anywhere, I want a place to host the unmolested HDR versions of my files. The files in question are "Ultra HDR" JPEGs (ISO 21496 gain-mapped JPG).
I've considered the various booru software, and I know that some of them do "support" these HDR JPEG files (or at the very least don't strip the necessary metadata). And if they can be interfaced with by viewer apps like Gallery or Anime Boxes, that's a plus. But they all seem to be somewhat clunky for the end user to browse, and apparently they're all a fucking nightmare and a half to set up.
There may be less anime-focused programs that still have tagging. I want to make sure, if they can't interface with Anime Boxes or Grabber, that they have a good web UI.

Also you can scrape faster with alternative means. Mainly being gallery-dl with a script to upload tags and stuff via your boorus API. Very fun project that is.

For TrueNAS I want the following
>Encrypted datasets (private / admin / personal)
>Encrypted datasets (family / shared) where I give passphrase to family/etc

If the server goes offline and needs to reboot, I'd like family/friends to be able to access it somehow and unlock the the shared datasets. Is there a way to do this without giving them admin privileges? For example I wouldn't want them to mess with configs/ACLs/logins/etc, literally just be able to unlock datasets I give a passphrase for. I know they can otherwise reinstall the OS and get admin access that way but that's not what I'm worried about I just want some way to be able to call a relative up and walk them through unlocking the dataset they use without me having to go do it myself.

If I can't do this I might just buy a Synology or whatever for the shared home stuff.

ZFS has built-in permissions mechanism.
For example, you can create a "family" UNIX user, and give it "load-key" and "mount" permission to "/nas/family" dataset. Read through `man zfs-allow`.
I haven't tested it, but i wonder if you can then login as this "family" user through web interface and mount the dataset in GUI instead of CLI commands.

>>105640398
You're never really ever going to know the health of a HDD even new ones. It could have been dropped for all you know. Pick an appropriate redundancy level for your data and disk and back it up if its important.

To my knowledge only OEM can wipe SMART (I think this arcane knowledge is beyond untrustworthy chinamen)

>>105640418
I suppose he could use dban to write a full disk a few times. You would probably pick up any errors that way.

>>105640626
If the drives are already about to die yeah hitting them with dban or something similar would probably push them over the edge. At the very least you'll see uncorrectable sectors or something similar pop up and could just RMA them. I haven't bought used HDDs in years but that was the way I used to do it.

>>105640398
yeah, refurbs typically have SMART data wiped. What you want to do is run a long SMART test, or `badblocks -s -w -b 4096 /dev/sdX` if you've schizo like me and don't trust the firmware (SMART test is done entirely on-device).
Test failure is enough reason for return/replacement.

If I open a 4096x4096 .bmp image on SMB in truenas and change a pixel and re-save it as a new file, like 4k4k 001.bmp original, then 4k4k 002.bmp for the new one, and it differs because the pixel has changed, does ZFS compression work with context from the original file making it only take up a trivial amount of new space, or do I need to enable actual deduplication for that? Would deduplication even reduce filesize of the new file?

>>105640818
Power consumption is irrelevant if it gets you started, and you already own the hardware, the primary consideration here is not power consumption (not directly) but rather cooling. Running multiple systems will output more heat and that is not exactly welcome in late June for many people.

If cooling isn't a problem and you're not footing the bill for AC (or people you care about, if the school pays it then fuck them though since you're paying to be there, mooch what you can) then it can be worth experimenting with but if you want to run something seriously you would want to invest in micro PCs instead. Just an average motherboard will consume a few watts doing nothing and that's the kind of stuff you cut down on with more efficient systems. Not necessarily modern systems, but ones purposefully built to be low consumption. The likelihood of any of your dumpster picks being efficient hardware are low.

The world is in a weird spot right now where literally every business has collectively decided to quit giving a fuck about what it costs them and just look for ways to jack up prices.

Ever since orange man came in the excuse has been tariffs, no matter if a red cent hasn't been paid or inventory was already in the country.

Some used HDDs have gone up in price like 50-75% for quite literally no reason.

>>105642256
I sell robots and automation to customers here in the USA.

Per my clients the biggest price increases for supplies have ALL come from domestic supply chains. ALL.


Zero from China, Japan, Korea. Lol.

America is the Jews we made along the way.

>>105642603
If a $80 Chinese part becomes $180 part because of Tariffs, you can raise the prices of your domestic parts if they're lower than $180. It's just basic economics.

>>105622329
Switch over to gig ethernet and SSD. It will cost you a pretty penny but will solve your problem.

>>105642660
That's called not actually being interested in business.
You don't actually want to make things so you'd rather sit on your ass in inventory waiting for the "right" customer.

This type of shit is why I really hate western economies nowadays. Everyone wants their bag for the least effort. Meanwhile Chang will do backflips to sell you something.

>>105642801
Businesses exist to make money.

If all of your competitors jack up their prices, you can jack up your prices too.

>>105642703
I'm not complaining.
If anything it's satire how people here keep shilling enterprise hardware, when cheapest options can do the same while keeping the small form factor.

>>105642815
They can also make money by selling more.

>>105642845
As if there's some kind of a magical market that exists by keeping price stability.

If you make a part that is needed, you can raise prices while undercutting tariffed products that get stuck in customs and still make a killing.

>>105641992
>SMART DATA can be wiped?
Yes, but not by just any random asshole.
>How bad is this?
33 rellocated and 27 pending means it has unresolved issues.
Zero fill it and then do a read test. Pending sectors should clear and either go away or become reallocated ones.

>>105642879
>Zero fill it and then do a read test. Pending sectors should clear and either go away or become reallocated ones.
Shouldn't formatting it solve it? or am I missing something here?
Nothing on it is of value, I just have it mounted as /mnt/hdd and set it up as NFS share.
Do I need to run anything first like fsck or something? maybe badblocks?
How would zero filling it help?
Since I'm looking at 5 hours or something.
Thanks for replying btw.
>Yes, but not by just any random asshole.
You need special hardware?

>>105642954
Zero filling will force the drive to write to all sectors. When it comes across a sector it can't write and verify it will replace it.
Not zero filling it will mean the drive will eventually come across the problem sectors in the future during actual usage and drives can become unresponsive when dealing with them. It's better to deal with them now rather than later.

Changing the options like below kills the autotagger. Despite there being multiple "official" ways to disable it, the only way to do so is going against the devs and changing this option.
What the fuck are the devs smoking? Anyways finally done and my last post on this shit issue.

>>105643086
So this process is manged in the firmware level of the HDD?
Do I just dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
I will probably need to stop the NFS server and unmount the drive before doing this, right?
After doing it, do I need to run something else like badblocks?

>>105643126
>So this process is manged in the firmware level of the HDD?
Yes, entirely.
Drives do most things internally these days.
>I will probably need to stop the NFS server and unmount the drive before doing this, right?
Probably, do whatever you'd do before unplugging it.
>After doing it, do I need to run something else like badblocks?
It wouldn't hurt but could be a waste of time.

>docker service was spamming 6 gorillion logs per second because of typo in timezone in docker compose, updating compose didn't update already created file

kinda surprised by gemini tb.h
asked it whether I should store user data/handle auth for a social network purely from a db or by using a OIDC service like zitadel and it said use the service.
maybe this shit isn't retarded after all

>>105643172
>Drives do most things internally these days.
Even old drives?
I think this one is from 2012.
>It wouldn't hurt but could be a waste of time.
why is it a waste of time?

>>105643438
>Even old drives?
No, old drives were different.
>2012
This is modern technology.
>why is it a waste of time?
I said it could be. Not that it is.
You have backups of the data and are just hosting replaceable media on it, a quick zero fill should suffice and if no issues pop up scanning after zero filling may not be worth the extra time.
If you don't care about the extra time, it's worth doing a read test after the zero fill and checking SMART again to see how values (if any) changed as a result.

>>105643492
>This is modern technology.
Ah, I thought 2012 is too old for this.
And what if nothing changed?

>>105643347
yeah you should spend a lot of extra time setting up an auth service rather than just making usernames and accounts for each service yourself. you should ask it if you're too lazy to actually set it up and keep it maintained.

>>105643650
i am too lazy, that's why i asked it to make the decision for me.
honestly a managed service is not the dumbest thing when i think about it. it's not just usernames and passwords, it's integrating that shit into an auth system that does a ton of shit out of the box and is maintained by security people.
i always hear about not doing auth whenever possible, well this is how i avoid doing auth.

No, like trancoding it to remove languages, subtitles, changing it from x264 to x265 etc.

Lol no. Like hosting a dedicated game server that you and your friends can play on.

Does something like that exist?

>>105644484
Badblocks does a few things one of them is a multi-pattern write+read test if you want, bur you can do the single pass zero fill and read back in Badblocks if you want.

>>105644578
Ah got you, I think you can specify how many times and what badblocks can use to write.
I used it once long time ago and it crashed my server, which revealed I had faulty CPU and not shitty hdd.
Would you suggest using something like e2fsck instead though?
You can use it to blacklist those dead sectors.

Hello, how much would an SSD or HDD 1 PB server cost (in estimate)?

>>105644825
Bad sectors get replaced by the drive firmware.
When your host (regardless of OS) wants to access a previously bad sector like sector 17361 or whatever, that sector from the host's point of view is actually already fixed. It is still sector 17361 but the drive avoids the old location and uses a good one from its reserve zone and this is invisible to the host PC.

Blacklisting bad sectors is something you would only need to do on OLD drives, not new ones. As far as I know anything made in the last 20 years (yes, ~2005 and even before) doesn't ever require such things.
If you know you had a head crash and have a "bald spot" with tons of bad sectors, and notice the rest of the drive works fine, you might partition around large areas to still use what's good but that's not really viable. If a drive is at that point, it's probably junk. Not that it "can't" work if babied, but it won't be worth the effort.

>>105644945
Considering 24TB spinners go for around $500, you are looking at a minimum of $25,000 if you buy new and have some spares on hand. Maybe 18K if you're buying refurbished.
SSD would be much more.

Nice to know that.
I always learn something from this thread.
Like how routers actually have unmanged switches, so even if it brick, the switch part can still work.
I'll dd out and see how it work.
Honestly I don't think it would make much of difference performance wise.
And all these errors are probably from aborted scans and attempted system checks that was canceled.
And most are just old-age thing, I mean this barely have a year of power-on time.

>>105644394
So you want it to point to /var/lib/docker/volumes but don't want to point it to /var/lib/docker/volumes?

Local searx has been timing out a lot recently. Even when I switch the search engines it pulls from. I'm the only one who uses my instance and don't even make that many searches. Is it over? Have the search engines got extra stringy about using their api?

Would the long term costs be better or worse with SDD instead of HDD's if the use case is a small number of rewrites but a large number of reads?

What search engines do you use? And yeah I'm using searxng. I tihnk something might be messed up. Before when a search engine refused it would still respond with the others. But now it seems like as soon as one rejects I get a time out for all search engines.

is this normal or dangrous to have this many unsolicited connections to my opnsense?

>>105646818
autofs deals with managing mounting/unmounting the nfs shares if you're using it or not, which helps deal with some hanging issues. Learn linux yt channel covers it more verbosely.

What are the consequences of not using LVM?

>>105647328
I mean if the most complicated thing you want to do is play with logical volumes, there are other tools that can do cooler things, like zfs.

>>105646839
>>105646857
I still don't see how autofs is useful.

>>105647328
if you have to ask then there are no consequences

Is there a way to access, upload or download stuff from nicotine remotely if I wanted to host media from my headless server? I can map the share via nfs with my client but I turn that off at night.

Is this possible? If so what do I need to do? I've had a job where there were network storage but I don't think any software was ever installed on it for the users and it was just for files.

Build two more identical servers so you can have an HA cluster.

I'm retarded. I got a Dynu hostname and a SSL cert from one of those free 90 day sites. How do I now connect the hostname to my home Emby instance?

>>105648234
point domain at home ip (use ddns client)
install caddy and setup reverse proxy to emby. caddy handles ssl cert renewal for you automatically.
forward port 80/443 to whatever local ip caddy is running on in your router

assuming you're not behind cgnat, that complicates things

What's the best way to get internet? (I don't want to be stuck to whatever my accommodation provides)
I assume torrenting is illegal?

>>105649538
if you want good, reliable internet, your best bet is probably DSL with a contract that you can end per month. I know the Telekom provides that. I don't know if DOKOM21 (apparently a big provider in Dortmund) does.
You will probably have to order that in advance though, so it's ready on time.
the only alternative would be 5G i think. but you are gonna have a data volume of like 300GB a month there and like 50Mbit. the Congstar Homespot is one i know of but haven't used.

>I assume torrenting is illegal?
yes, use a VPN

why the fuck kubernetes so fucing difficult

>>105649698
it's the SAP business model.
make the software incredibly complicated, unintuitive and generally shit to use. then have people pay you for training, certification, tech support and consulting.

>>105649538
>I assume torrenting is illegal?
Torrenting is perfectly safe and legal.
Big gaming studios use torrents in game launchers to distribute downloads among users to save bandwidth (making other players help seed content) and lots of software offers optional torrent downloads to lighten the load on direct download servers. For example if you go to download Ubuntu, you'll probably see offers to download via torrents. Many of them are officially seeded by universities.

What might be illegal are torrents of other material, like some shitty Hollywood slop, but you're better off just not even watching that junk. If you do, that's a (You) problem, not a torrenting one. That would be equivalent to speeding in your car then blaming the pavement for your speeding ticket.

>>105649782
>Is it just sim card and i plug in to router?
yeah, it should be plug&play. you can also use one of those small MiFi devices like picrel.
if you're inside the EU, you can just get a SIM card from your country and use it, since roaming is free within the EU. if you're from outside, you're gonna have to get a new one. you'll probably either want to order one in advance or grab one from the airport i think. germany has introduced a police state law a few years back, that buying a SIM card now requires an ID and i don't know if they accept foreign ones.

>>105649698
