Some additional reorganization time this weekend, all busy with the process of preparing the HomeLab for another interstate relocation. Having decided to repurpose some hardware to create a new router, this one formerly hosted infra VMs several years ago, but now it's going to run a pair of "BSD Router Project" VMs for on-host H/A, and a bit of packet shuffling between hosts for RDMA
While using Soundcloud the other day, prompted by a little helper fellow which states: > "Import your Spotify Playlists!" ok, sure. I'd like to use a single app for music if possible, and I prefer Soundcloud to Spotify in general. So, I click ok and authorize the apps' APIs to do their thing. It finishes importing. Great, back to work. Life goes on. Days later,
While training for The Death Ride one year, so many years ago, I had quite a surprise on Highway 88 while descending Carson Pass in the Sierra Nevada. This was in the late season, the last week of October, a last minute plan with a best friend to get one last ride in before the snow storms arrived. On top of the usual physical challenges of climbing ~2,500'
Thunderbird, wtf are you doing where you need 83% CPU plus ~50GB (virt) and 20G (res) of RAM allocated? The entire mailbox isn't even 1GB in total size. Yet here it is, cranking out all of this nebulous processing 24/7... literally 24/7 it's running loads like this for months now. Generally I ignore it because the workstation has a modern EPYC with 32 cores
Some photos from a bit of 4am dev box maintenance earlier this morning, focused on hardware reallocation and consolidation to maximize PCIe lane utilization. This box will host one VM using full PCIe passthrough on the GPUs and 50% NPAR for the NIC ports, and four smaller VMs. Storage for the VMs will be host-level ZFS on the two P3608, split up as several zvol allocated to the smaller VMs
Some clarifications on some points here about the history of BTRFS as it relates to Oracle, Sun Microsystems, RedHat, ZFS, and a DARPA funded filesystem research project which concluded with a ghastly murder. > Oracle bought Sun to get the ZFS file system. They have been porting ZFS features into Btrfs. The head of the Ext4 file system project, an Oracle employee, said that Ext4 was just a temporary stepping
Some quick progress notes for a few FreeBSD and OpenZFS devs, which will be accessing one of my POWER9 systems. See photos for visual reference. * Separate L1 and L2 domain for all network access, zero-shared DMZ, unconnected to the rest of the RFC99 lab lack * Mikrotik router has been temporarily slapped into place on the side of my lab rack, directly in back of the Talos II system (dual socket,
