typically you only need one power supply to run it, once you move to redundant power you can use the second one in case the first one fails. when you plug both in it will just balance across both until one fails.

in my opinion, hardware should only be hypervisors that run virtual machines, then you can provision VMs, similar to using VPSs. going this route you will need a vga monitor for initial setup, eventually everything is done over the lan with a web ui or ssh.

i use proxmox which is Debian based for the hypervisor.

As far as what you do with it, is that you can in theory replace the VPSs or test software in your lan.

to compare, i have my router (vyos), homeassistant, a docker server for hosting small services, a network lab (gns3), windows and mac VMs, and more running on a cluster that is using similar hardware.

it looks like there is a bedrock branch, but i personally have no experience with bedrock.

see this issue for more details: https://github.com/minekube/gate/issues/11

i have used gate for my internal and external, works very well and i do exactly what you are asking and separate different versions and modpacks by name https://github.com/minekube/gate

i think with fingerprinting, it provides evidence that someone touched something, not that someone did not touch it

everything should be behind a firewall

make sure it’s configured for clean shut downs before your battery runs out, auto power up on restoration, and hope it doesn’t happen. you will eventually have an outage that outlasts your batteries.

I have a large string of batteries from an old telco office, that runs my rack for 14hrs (calculated, I shut everything down around this time) and that did not last for the 2-3 day outage we had after a storm. Without a generator, you will inevitably have an outage, but if you are prepared, then you can mitigate any damage. use NUT if you need to shutdown or power multiple devices from one monitored UPS

I used to use kindles when I was growing up, as my dad and grandpa had large amazon libraries I was able to read from. It started with the keyboard kindles up to one of the touch e-ink ones and with the exception of the last one, every one of them had the screen fail.

I have since switched to a kobo clara 2e BW, using books loaded from calibre. the price point was comfortable, with more features than I expected (waterproof, bluetooth and wifi, ability to sign directly into library accounts), I was also happy with battery life, I read on planes/trains to pass the time and had a two week long trip where I was doing a lot of traveling by train and I didn’t need to charge at all.

I plug into my computer and load books manually I also have been looking towards doing something OTA for books and page sync, libre and self hosted.

This is possible, and exact directions will vary on distribution of the vm client. I personally do this but with split horizon dns and dnsmasq on a vm.

impossible to leak is where it gets tricky, and that will require an understanding of networking in your distribution. there will also be tutorials on this, but it’s very easy to mess up.

I would say the warranty is probably confidence that a percentage will last that long, and the amount they have to replace is cheaper than the business they lose not offering it.

edit: and no argument that companies are also working to make devices less repairable, i’m cynical that more often then not they are trying to design devices that last exactly as long as the warranty.

would be a good idea to test the backups on 7, and double check the release notes, they hold just about every caveats. The 7to8 upgrade was not horrible, if you have backups, you could always attempt the upgrade after taking backups, then if successful take new backups, test, then install new drives and restore. depends on how paranoid you feel.

If this was a production system, that is probably the change plan i would follow, but in production I would also be able to migrate VMs. I am not nearly as careful in the home environment.

NY has similar provisions, as section 201-D of the labor law specifically prohibits discrimination based on cannabis usage, with exceptions.

Exceptions generally are for businesses that receive federal funding, CDL drivers in accordance with 49 CFR Part 382, and non-employees (contractors, students, volunteers).

what about that doesn’t work? just because you don’t know how doesn’t mean not possible.

maybe a vpn provider that uses openvpn? advanced setup but you can have an openvpn client auto connect on boot and bind the mail and ddclient to the tunnel interface.

cloudflare has good support for ddclient, so when your IP changes updates are automatic.

from your router can you ping the AP behind that switch, while the issue is occurring? All L2 unmanaged switches, no tagging? POE from the switch or an injector? If from the switch maybe put an injector in between?

I work for an ISP in the network engineering dept, I personally have never seen an issue exactly like this before, but we generally do power calculations for switching and wifi, this sounds like a power issue to me.

one of the reasons you see these as separate is because of the amount of modularity you get with grafana, you don’t always use it with prometheus, sometimes with ELK sometimes Influx and Telegraf. If you intend to set it up outside of the “typical” you start to really appreciate one piece doing one thing, and doing it well.

i like it, i have been pretty happy with it, but i was also specifically looking for keeping notes in markdown, so ymmv depending on what you want/need. i run it on a docker server i already had, using compose and it has been very stable

the idea with qubes is that whatever you are doing with tails would just be done in a tails/tor qube (vm), which are/can be amnesic.

i didn’t downvote but 17v on a 12v battery maybe seems a bit high. I’m more used to about 7-14% over (maybe up to 14v on a 12v batt) when charged/floating but i don’t use solar anywhere currently, and i usually work on 48v systems. i normally expect to see about 54v on a fully charged battery string (13.5v per battery x4) with the rectifiers running.

i also second the opinion of running an automotive PSU for this situation.

edit: i looked it up since i was curious, some “12v” solar panels can output between 16-20v, but it’s recommended that you would use a charge controller, especially if you have lead-acid batteries
