Hi all. I’m trying to choose a configuration for my home storage. Speed is not a priority, I want a balance of stability and performance. I was thinking of making a raid 6 array with an ext4 file system for 4 disks of 2 TB each. Asking for advice, will this configuration be optimal?...
They hired a new hotshot engineering manager (the kind that makes physical things). He hates the engineering software we run. I don’t blame him, it’s crap software. He constantly complains about how slow it its. He’s right again. Crap Software Vendor says it’s my platform that makes their software slow and buggy. I’m...
We recently had a meeting with our new (as in 4th in a year) rep. They let us know ROBO licensing is moving away from the VM Pack method it is now to per socket licensing. Minimum of 16 core per socket purchase, and you can’t stretch a license across multiple cores....
Does anyone want to see sysadmin blogs/guides posted here? I used to check sysadminblogs but the quality of content used to vary a lot. Would this be helpful or just clutter the feed?
I plan to move an external DNS server to a hosted VPS in the near future. I would appreciate advice on VPS specs for this purpose, or an other helpful feedback from others who have done this before. I’ve used a lot of low end boxes to host web services, and would like to do that with this project as well but don’t want to...

Is it just me or is the learning curve a lot greater with Zabbix? The error messages seem extremely vague or completely useless. The web GUI fields don’t have proper validation. They moved a lot of things around in the 6.4 version and now googling a solution gives me out of date info. The template network sensors are picking...
Hello friends. Work email is crushing me. The ticketing systems, plural, email me on everyone's tucket. (Because some people only work tickets via email and others through the web interface.)...
I was wondering how often does one choose to make and keep back ups. I know that “It depends on your business needs”, but that is rather vague and unsatisfying, so I was hoping to hear some heuristics from the community. Like say I had a workstation/desktop that is acting as a server at a shop (taking inventory / sales...
Has anyone used sunshine/moonlight for low latency remote desktop? I’ve used it for remote gaming but I since I’ve had good experiences I though it might be testing for work....

I’m looking into building a new remote management with mesh VPNs but it may turn out not to be practical.

So I recently discovered that the camera NVRs are majority insecure. This lead to my company failing to get PCI compliance which wasn’t all that unexpected. However, this leads to the awkward situation of me comparing mesh VPNs. I’ve been playing around with netbird but I’m looking for a more polished solution....
If I create a VM role, I can assign it’s networking to a VLAN, however I can’t do the same to a file server role. Does anyone know if it’s somehow possible?
