I just reviewed the post again. It’s a stellar example of modern writing trends.
Read this:

This was painful to read. Yuck. It was written like clickbait. Like AI writes. Yuck.
And of course it was crossposted. If you’ve got something you need everyone to know, you gotta crosspost it everywhere. - Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 1 week ago:
Cool.
Here. SSH key issues. There was a huge forum war.
…proxmox.com/…/ssh-keys-in-a-proxmox-cluster-reso…
But its still a thing. That still needs to be fixed by a human. Today that’s me.Regarding CEPH and corosync on the same network … well I’m just getting started with that now. I do have them on different vlans, but its the same 10gb set of nics. I’m hoping if it gets really lousy, my netadmin can prioritize the corosync vlan. I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 1 week ago:
SSH key management in PVE is handled in a set of secondary files, while the original debian files are replaced with symlinks. Well, that’s still debian. And in some circumstances the symlinks get b0rked or replaced with the original SSH files, the keys get out of sync, and one machine in the cluster can’t talk to another. The really irritating thing about this is that the tools meant to fix it (pvecm updatecerts) don’t work. I’ve got an elaborate set of procedures to gather the certs from the hosts and fix the files when it breaks, but it sux bad enough that I’ve got two clusters I’m putting off fixing.
Corosync is the cluster. It’s a shared file system that immediately replicates any changes to all members. That’s essentially anything under /etc/pve/. Corosync is very sensitive. I believe they ask for 10ms lag or less between hosts, so it can’t work over a WAN connection. Shit like VM restores or vmotion between hosts can flood it out. Looks fukin awful when it goes down. Your whole cluster goes kaput.
You can put cororsync on its own network, but you obviously need a network for that. All it does is push around this set of config files, so a dedicated NIC is overkill, but in busy environments, you might wind up resorting to that. I have my systems provisioned on a dedicated corosync vlan and also use a secondary IP, but corosync is too dumb to fall back to the secondary if the primary is still “up”, regardless of whether its actually communicating, so I get calls on my day off about “the cluster is down!!!1” when people restore backups.

Oh. I have RCT3 Platinum. That’s been discontinued.
…steampowered.com/…/RollerCoaster_Tycoon_3_Platin…Honestly, I’ve barely played it other than this map I just downloaded. Its been sitting in my collection untouched for years.
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 1 week ago:
I use PVE professionally. I could spent some time bitching about how it handles ssh keys and the fragile corosync cluster management. I could complain about the sloppy release cycle and the way they move fast and break shit. Or all the janky shit they’ve slapped together in PBS. I could go on.
But I actually pay for a license for my homelab. And ya, it is THE thing at work now.
I’ve often heard it said that Proxmox isn’t a great option. But its the best one.
If you do try it, don’t bother asking questions here.

ok. i gave that about 10 minutes. weird as hell. mr bones shooting people was unexpected.
- Comment on Mr. Bones Wild Ride 2 weeks ago:
Yes, that’s the thing. Even that graphic is starting to decay.
I remember when it was legible. I wonder how many iterations of screen grabs it took to get that bad. - Comment on Mr. Bones Wild Ride 2 weeks ago:
I’ve just discovered that you can’t buy RCT3 on Steam anymore. Not that they were making much. I bought it for pennies a few years ago.

Hmm. I used to volunteer with Free Geek in Portland OR. It was essentially that, an e-disposal site and we made refurbs for community organizations. But they did have a store for sale to the public.
I have so much computer junk … I got rid of most of it, but then I got a bunch more when we closed the company office. Got at least 10 monitors, 5 PCs, a mini, couple laptops … and a storage shelf to put it on.

They fit.

Buy? That’s garbage. Look in garbage places. Used shops of any sort.
I like the college junk store suggestion. I used to do that.You better watch it. You will shortly have a closet full of junk computer parts.
- Comment on Darkenstein 3D free on Steam 3 weeks ago:
The video looked very like Serious Engine, so I downloaded it to see. Nope. Its Unity.
Comically long intro of a narrator and text. Ok, I’m a homeless traitor in Nazi Germany, trying to get my dog back.
Got out of the truck. Oh good. A box jumping obstacle. Hit the space bar. No jump. So I keep trying. And it knocks this box back into the corner, where I can see a mug of something floating there. Health or powerup or some shit. But I can’t get to it because I just kicked this box in the way.
I finally checked the controls. There’s no jump, just kick. You don’t jump in this game. Like old DOOM.
I gave up. I’m in this far. I’ll try it again later.

Boom.
- Comment on Serious Sam 2 was just updated after 20 years in celebration of its anniversary 4 weeks ago:
I still play this game.
The only one you need installed now is Classics: Revolution. That’s all of 1 and 2 wrapped up. But … there’s no update pending. Last one was 2020.
I guess I’ll download the monolithic SS2 and see what’s new. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 4 weeks ago:
Ok. My brother didn’t cook tofu. It was always crap. And obviously I didn’t use the device.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 4 weeks ago:
Mostly my oven gets used for baking biscuits. Sometimes I’ll make a lasagna or very rarely a casserole. The only actual dietary sin that takes place there is the occasional pizza. I’m not perfect, I do eat pizza.
There are no taquitos or chicken tenders or wtf-ever frozen garbage in my home or my oven. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 4 weeks ago:
They smell like fryers. And they are for making fried food. Not allowed in my house. Nasty.
- Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 4 weeks ago:
The devs are some really strange folks. They would enjoy your discomfiture.
But as the other poster said, they are really emphatically, antifa-level before antifa was cool, no-nazi.
- Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 4 weeks ago:
I recommend reading their “Frequently Questioned Answers” document, aka Dash1.
fqa.9front.org/dash1.release.pdfI’ve read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.
I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.
9front is completely useless. It’s a programmer’s toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas. - Comment on New release of Plan9 successor 9FRONT now available 4 weeks ago:
I install 9front releases, screw with a couple windows, and give up again. It’s a cycle.

So many of the things that people cook in these nasty little grease machines are processed garbage.

There’s like 700 Cyberpunk mods. I looked through some last night. Surely there must be one that jailbreaks me past that. I haven’t found it tho.

Hehe. Friend, you seem to know a lot about this imaginary tech. But you don’t. My rules are just as good as yours. If I say it Johnny can run on a trashcan, its just as true as your theory. And more fun.

There is literally an AI vending machine. How is that different from a fridge? And that being the case, how can you say it can’t run this chip? Ya just can’t. Because there’s a huge plot hole there … Think of the fun if we installed Johnny in that stupid talking gun.
