It’s pure doublethink. Ukraine shouldn’t have been so easy to invade but also should just give up sovereign territory for peace.

With rust, yes. Seriously guy it’s obvious I’m only using one property, let’s not block out the entire object. (yes I knows why)

With everything else, generally no.

Germany really seem to still be hung up by a certain former leader and feel like full capitulation is the only way for redemption.

The rest of europe I dunno what the deal is.

Yes. I host a vpn at my house. Then vpn in on fire stick/laptop etc. No problems to date.

I mean they’re a special kind of stupid. That line I am almost certain is powered by overhead line. 25kv overhead line. They were lowering them down from a bridge meaning they would be dangerously close to those wires.

Would have been a very showy way to Darwin themselves.

Oh I remember why. I was considering including links to some of the causes of the end of railtrack. But I thought it shouldn’t really come as a surprise to those already here that private companies and safety are seldom bedfellows.

Well. In the UK the rails and infrastructure used to be privately owned. But it turned out a private company couldn’t be trusted with that level of safety within their remit. So it returned to government control quite some tine ago.

The train companies are private though. Well except for a handful that failed to meet requirements.

I seriously think we need to ask serious questions if we’re able to shift people point to point further, faster by first going 4 miles towards space for a fraction of the price of moving more people at once on an electrified railway stopping at multiple destinations, picking up and dropping off along the way.

Something cannot be right. How can they not compete and be profitable? What am I missing?

Outside of major cities in the UK trains tickets are ludicrously priced.

Oh right. I assumed it was a reddit admin decision rather than moderator.

It’d look worse without the patches to be fair.

Yeah, this is what happens when you write laws with vague language. Companies will always err on the side of caution.

Oh, I forgot about Azerothcore (which is a fork from Trinitycore, and absorbed some changes from certain private server source that has been released in the past).

Which you choose I think depends on what you want.

Trinitycore has a more strict development policy of doing things properly and not for example concentrating too much on getting boss fights etc “right”. It’s more of a technical project than “ready to go private server”.

Whereas (and this is as I understand it, I’ve not done any work for the project directly) Azerothcore is a bit more lax in their requirements. Now, don’t take this to mean they accept bad code. It just means they don’t have the stricter guidelines that trinitycore have.

I could be wrong though. I’ve been out of the game for a while now.

I think so. I would consider perhaps allowing a short time without power before doing that. To handle short cuts and brownouts.

So perhaps poll once per minute, if no power for more than 5 polls trigger a shutdown. Make sure you can provide power for at least twice as long as the grace period. You could be a bit more flash and measure the battery voltage and if it drops below a certain threshold send a more urgent shutdown on another gpio. But really if the batteries are good for 20mins+ then it should be quite safe to do it on a timer.

The logic could be a bit more nuanced, to handle multiple short power cuts in succession to shorten the grace period (since the batteries could be drained somewhat). But this is all icing on the cake I would say.

I was looking at doing something similar with my Asustor NAS. That is, supply the voltage, battery, charging circuit myself, and add one of those CH347 USB boards to provide I2C/GPIO etc and just have the charging circuit also provide a voltage good signal that software on the NAS could poll and use to shut down.

My understanding is that the only issues were the write hole on power loss for raid 5/6 and rebuild failures due to un-seen damage to surviving drives.

Issues with single drive rebuild failures should be largely mitigated by regular drive surface checks and scrubbing if the filesystem supports it. This should ensure that any single drive errors that might have been masked by raid are removed and all drives contain the correct data.

The write hole itself could be entirely mitigated since the OP is building their own system. What I mean by that is that they could include a “mini UPS” to keep 12v/5v up long enough to shut down gracefully in a power loss scenario (use a GPIO for “power good” signal). Now, back in the day we had raid controllers with battery backup to hold the cache memory contents and flush it to disk on regaining power. But, those became super rare quite some time ago now. Also, hardware raid was always a problem with getting a compatible replacement if the actual controller died.

Is there another issue with raid 5/6 that I’m not aware of?

Trinitycore has a guide https://trinitycore.info/ if you follow it properly it will result in a working server. Any time I’ve seen someone have a problem following it, they either missed a step by mistake, or tried to go off on a tangent, configuring it for their own needs during install/setup.

First make it work with the instructions, and once it is working, then tinker with it :P

It’s more likely trinitycore (which forked from mangos quite some time ago). https://github.com/TrinityCore/TrinityCore/

Mangos do still have a Wrath server branch. But specifically for 3.3.5 trinitycore is more often used.

Wireguard vpn into my home router. Works on android so fire sticks etc can run the client.

They’re deporting themselves now too? That’s efficient.

Actually how is your ISP giving out IPs to you? Mine uses IPv6 PD to give me a /48. And I then use SLAAC locally on the first /64 prefix on my LAN. Plus another /64 for VPN connections.

If you mean receiving RA/ND packets from your ISP (which are used to announce IPv6 prefixes) then you need to allow icmpv6 packets (if you don’t want to be able to be pinged, just block echo requests, ICMP in v4 and v6 carry important messages otherwise).

If your ISP uses DHCPv6 Prefix delegation you will need to allow packets to UDP port 546 and run a DHCPv6 client capable of handling PD messages.

If you have a fixed prefix, then you probably don’t need to use your ISPs SLAAC at all. You could just put your router on a fixed IP as <yourprefix>::1 and then have your router create RA/ND packets (radvd package in linux, not sure what it would be on pfsense) and assign IPs within your network that way.

If you have a dynamic prefix… It’s a problem I guess. But probably someone has done it and a google search will turn up how they handled it.

EDIT: Just clarified that the RA/ND packets advertise prefixes, not assign addresses.
