You should probably test some of these solutions for just yourself at first.
I know you don’t want to make big changes for tour family, but any change at this level will take some adjustment.
The way google has pulled everyone in is by convenience. I learned this the hard way when separating out contacts and calendar from google.
I’m not really sure what you’re getting at. The blockchain is a good mechanism to maintain a source of truth that is inspectable and verifiable by anyone. It would only serve to certify that official counts can’t be tampered with in certain ways.
But it doesn’t replace the whole democratic voting process. It doesn’t protect against coercive voting, for instance.
My point originally was that blockchain can be of use to us, but tech bros ruined its rep. Same with AI. I’ve been waiting for routers with ai-powered (really, just machine learning) firewalls that can adapt rules to environments. But instead of that, everyone is obsessed with generative stuff that isnt very good.
I appreciate your candor, but do you understand why the backlash happens?
Proposed ideas for block chain to maintain election integrity would only use a block chain ledger to verify counts, not store voter information.
If the power is off, the BMC is still active. That’s the advantage.
Brother… IPMI is a dumpster fire of security, it should be on its own mgmt network alone.
I use IPMI as a demo of how to use tcpdump and jack the ripper to compromise an ipmi login. It’s trivial.
Yes, exactly.
Block chain would have been an amazing solution to most democratic vote validation processes.
Corey Doctorow isn’t speaking to you, he’s speaking to the many, many people who have been fooled by the ai craze.
Is… Is this your first time on the internet?
One thing I wish ai would teach vibe coders is how to use semantic versioning.
Trying to infer state of project from versions in ai-assisted software is an exercise in confusion.
Agree on the Jonsbo. I have an N1 and it is not great for cooling HDD either. Jonsbo seem to design their cases as ideas and never actually test them.
I have found that a combo of Terraform and ansible cover almost everything, if that’s of any use.
Incus, all services running in lxc. Ansible and templates to run startup stuff for new containers (ssh keys, etc). My docker setup is primitive, I regressed down to individual containers for each with docker compose. It’s so trivial to restore last night’s lxc backup that k3s/k8s doesn’t really help me. In fact, i’ve been simplifying everything to suit my use case, including hardware.
Plus lots of transient trials that come and go with interest. Rotating 7 day/4 week/3 months backups by NFS with pruning, includes snapshots, but I set expires on these.
This is running on 2x minipcs with 48GB ram each, but they are way overkill. I just received a mini itx i5 board, which will house all of the containers, save VPN and 1x DNS, which I will run on an SBC.
So I’m going down from 2x servers + 1 NFS nas to one 1u server for everything plus one SBC so I can reboot it.
Power consumption is king factor for me now.
Opnsense is based on FreeBSD, not openbsd. They are different in handling jails, driver and fs support, so it does matter if you’re looking for info.
