Zfs on Debian on bare metal with nfs server.
Vlan for services with routed subnet
Sriov connectx4 with 1 primary vm running freebsd and basically all my major services in their own jails. Won’t go into details, but it has like 20 jails and runs almost everything.
1 vm for external nginx and named on Debian vm on isolated subnet/Vlan and dmz for exposed services
1 vm for mailinabox on dmz subnet/Vlan
1 Debian vm on services vlan/net for apps that don’t play well with freebsd, mostly dockers, I do not like this vm, it’s basically unclean and mostly isolated.
Few other vms for stuff.
It’s a Dell r730 with 2 2697(or 2698? 20c/40t each) with 512gb.
12x16tb hgst h530s with 2 nvme drives and 2 Sata ssds, somewhere in there is a zlog and l2arc.
Can’t figure out how to fit a decent GPU in there so currently it’s living on my dual Rome workstation, this system is due for an upgrade, thinking about swapping the workstation to a much lighter one and push the work to the server, while moving the storage to a dedicated system, but not there yet.
Love freebsd though, don’t use it as my daily driver, tried a bit, it worked but there was just enough trouble to not make it work, but freebsd has moved on and so have i, so it’s worth a shot again.
Decent i/O, but nothing to write home about, think it saturates the 10g but only just, I have gear for full 100g (I do a LOT of chip startups, and worked at a major networking chip firm a while) but it takes a lot more power, and i have PGE so I can’t justify it till I can seriously saturate it.
Also I’m in process of moving to Europe, built a weak network here and linked via wire guard, but shit is expensive here and I’m not sure how to finish the move just yet, so I’m basically 50/50 including time at work in the valley.

ZFS, hands down, it doesn’t even begin to hurt the SSDs, it’s basically the best choice, just try to not fill the whole volumes or it starts thrashing like crazy.
ZFS has encryption, but LUKS is fine too.
I’ve run Raidz2 for well over a decade, never had data loss that wasn’t extremely my fault, and I recovered from that almost immediately from backed up snapshot.
- Comment on Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 Percent 13 hours ago:
He wasn’t successful at anything.
He slashed the corporate income tax and due to an effective amnesty on repatriation many large MNCs brought stashed offshore cash and cut R&D to register massive earnings for his last 2 years.
Ironically, this started to dry up right around Q1 2020… Then COVID drowned out everything.
His response was to just pump $4T to employers with almost no documentation, thank god we didn’t see a massive wave in inflation out of that.

Yeah, there were other countries to ban, but those 2 cut my attacks down 90%.
Also consider a honeypot that triggers when anyone tries to ssh it at all.

There are ip lists that let you iptables drop all traffic from China and Russia.
Strongly recommend.

Yeah, my rack is a beast too, especially since it runs 24/7.
I have PGE though, so I get absolutely reamed constantly, they play a lot of games so my solar helps me as little as possible.
Oh, I had a whole-house meter connected to my smart meter by zigbee, but then PGE disabled that a few years ago.
Worst part of california :(
- Comment on Encrypting data on local servers? 2 days ago:
Good question.
Debian doesn’t often require a reboot, but the longer you go, and if you need kernel modules (nvidia is the worst at this) you might need to reboot to keep everything in sync.
My suggestion: raspberry pi, like 1st edition, keep the key very secure, give it a usb serial console. When the server reboots, enter the password that way. It’s your emergency console.

I know, but im at an age that micromanaging all my phone apps just isn’t fun anymore, I jailbroke my first iPhone 3g and that was a nightmare, I try to stick to stuff that won’t break much.
In any case, I have a working methadone for reddit, and as lemmy gets more popular I’m finding myself less and less dependent on it.

I have normal sized hands, I just love huge screens and can single handed text on most, I used the note series since forever except when I went LG.
But reddit canceled their api and trying to use Firefox for it sucked major ass, the vroser version of the site is barely usable at all but damn if I was going to use their Spyware app.

I had the 3, it is so insanely fucking narrow.
Like using an iPhone 4 or something.
The pixel fold I have now is great, usable in both form factors.

WE didn’t elect them.
The south elected them, out of the same vile hate they’ve nurtured for 160 years.
When I was young they kept to their shit holes, but they’ve since leaked out and spread everywhere, and now the country is in ruins.

Sigh.
Lemmy.world is the safe, gateway drug for lemmy, the Marijuana as it were, a way to recruit normies without scaring them.
After people get comfortable they can move to instances that suit them better.
But the defederation serves a purpose, it’s like saying ‘I believe in completely free speech!!!’ then spamming kids with animal torture porn.

The south was always this racist, they were just isolated.
When social media unleashed their filth upon the nation the billionaires realized they had the ultimate weapon: a political bloc that voted purely on emotion, especially hate.
