weight management is all about habits … start finding small ways to create healthier habits and grow slowly …

Sometimes there is a psychological factor. I was overweight most of my life and I always felt a constant need to satiate. When I was diagnosed with ADHD and started taking medication that hunger went away.

Try things like volume eating, fiber pills, drinking more water … small things add up over time but you have to be consistent.

Exercise helps but diet on it’s own can get you there too. CACO is the law (Calories in, calories out)

Give the Pangolin project a look.

It’s a reverse proxy with tunneling solution that can expose domain names to the internet without having to manage the certificates or open ports.

I use it in my home lab and it’s very very good

I’m a security engineer and I can personally confirm that trump has personally done more to advance tech in Europe that any other leader.

There is currently a “Sovereign cloud” arms race in European tech where governments are rushing to migrate out of US based solutions in favor for their own if possible and other European countries if otherwise.

It’s been great for the industry and for the end users. I’m in the US myself, but even I am benefiting because more competition = more options and now I can have services where that orange fuck we have to call president doesn’t have a say or access to my data.

I just bought aan IP KVM switch for a hundo, now heading to the store foir a case of frosty’s and re-rack my servers to make room.

The one factor that no one seems to have mentioned yet that is key for many of us is LEARNING …

It’s a great way to learn virtualization and containerization

I use it exclusively to run Linux containers, it makes it very convenient to backup and restore as well as replicate environments.

We are now migrating our lab at work away from VMW

That’s exactly what I have, and that’s exactly what I wanted … DARN … oh well. I guess it’s nice to have the document sync as well

correct, it also has the benefit of allowing my IP to change without impacting public or private access.

I do something similar I use Pangolin (Which is an EXCELLENT project) as a self hosted alternative to cloudflareD tunels. I host it on a public VPS and then thru it tunnel web traffic to my public resources, that way I don’t have to expose my IP or have a static. Then I also use netbird as an overlay network not only to access my servers remotely but also to “join” two sites via a VPN (Backup server at my mom’s)

Is it better than NC?

This is bad news … I also host my Pangolin ingress node on Ionos … Can you let me know what you pick?

That’s fucking awesome!

I feel like this woman is about to give a bomb ass obituary so fucking powerful that it’s going to start a revolution https://youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ?t=4

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Any clue what the power draw on the disk array is? I did some basic measurement with the kill-a-watt and a spinner takes about 6-7W where as an SSD takes about 2, the price difference is too much for my use case tho, performance per watt per TB, I’m better off with 1 single disk (or a mirror pair) of 6 TB in spinning rust.

I’m not particularly concerned about data security since I’m syncing evrything 3 ways. Whenever one of the drive fails I’ll consider it a “surprise disaster recovery exercise” XD

Appreciate your input. K8 is on the roadmap. Currently on portrait using pangolin as a tunneled proxy.

Eventually plan to migrate from Joomla in LXC to a docker swarm load balanced by pangolin.

It does but there’s a lot of other stuff connected that I can’t unplug. I ended up getting a kill a watt and since the server has redundant power supplies I checked by unplugging one at a time.

I’m using 168W on an R430 with 2 E5-1220’s and 128 G and 8 spinners.

I don’t trust oracle at all. The guide uses them because they’re free (It includes a business generator so that oracle doesn’t reclaim your box)

I personaly went with IONOS because they have a 2.99 plan with unlimited bandwidth which is great for pangolin as that’s routing traffic for my “media” box

Host a pangolin reverse proxy on a free oracle cloud VPS! It’s super nice to redirect online traffic to a LAN resource, that way you can share your home lab with friends and family without having to forward any ports or loosen your security posture.

I also highly recommend this suite of tools for downloading and streaming legal media via torrent because I would never endorse piracy.

My previous experience is with dropbox and onedrive and I tend to limit bandwidth … I want sync to happen in the background. It’s not something I usually consider “high priority”

I found NC to be a lot more flexible and complete, specially with all the machine learning options. I also appreciate the privacy and price Hosting about 7TB of data for $10 worth of power a month and a $150 investment that allows me to host many other things.

The web interface in my case is a bit slow initially but that’s mostly because I opted to route it via pangolin reverse proxy / cloud flare tunnels, but I notice once the redis cache DB loads it’s blazing fast.

Overall I’m pretty happy with the speed, I’m sharing this with a family of 15 and I haven’t heard any complaints yet.

Wow! Thanks so much for that explanation. I think In my mind I was mixing DAS with SAN and “fabric”

I’m much more confident now In planning this upgrade.

Good Point, idrac has issues on this server, I’ll take another crack at it and see if I can get it going.

I tried with powerstat and powertop but no dice
