@feld A buddy of mine runs a React-based web site. But it’s hosted on google’s Firebase hosting. The server-side danger isn’t his?

Ugh. This is such a stupid #password dialog for #Dell #idrac. If you have less than 8 characters, it tells you to use "at least 8". If you have 8 characters, it is happy. If you type 9 characters it tells you that you have too many characters.You must have exactly 8. No more. No less.

I'm going to admit that I am doing something immature in my #homelab and I'm looking for opinions. I've got multiple #XCPng hosts, all using local storage. I have no NFS or iSCSI storage. That's kinda silly. Shared storage is super useful and I'm literally not using it.Unless I go to some serious effort to make a high-performance SAN, I expect network storage performance to be so-so for VM storage, but maybe I'm too pessimistic. I currently only have copper gigabit in the rack. No fiber, no 2.5G copper or anything like that. I'm not sure if that's going to be viable for NFS or iSCSI.I could dedicate a host to running TrueNAS Core with a bunch of storage. But what has always bugged me about this is that my storage host becomes a single point of failure for all the compute nodes. #TrueNAS is super reliable but everything has to reboot once in a while, and these stupid enterprise-grade servers take anywhere from 4-8 minutes to boot. If I had a single storage node, and I needed to reboot it for an OS upgrade, everything would hang for a while. That's no good. Not updating the OS on the storage system is also not good.So what am I supposed to be doing for shared storage on a #Xen cluster? How do I avoid a storage host becoming a single point of failure? How do you update and reboot a storage node, without disrupting everything that depends on it?#selfhosting #san #storage

@argv_minus_one I tried the Titan2, which is an Android with a physical keyboard. I lasted 4 days. I made a bit of a video review. Some of it is that I couldn't make the jump to Android. But some of it is the physical keyboard.https://communitymedia.video/w/qEkiQ5WS5WtZdj8F5wLhE7

RE: https://flipboard.com/@dazedmagazine/fashion-7ghg6sd1z/-/a-f1j7_znjR5qCFlTvYZ5PuA%3Aa%3A415576709-%2F0“Hobbymaxxing” is such a gross word. If you’re “maxxing” it, it’s not a hobby. It’s this perverse intrusion of “hustle” culture into leisure time. The woman names like 5 hobbies from suturing (yes, medical suturing) to flute to knitting to tattooing. They breeze right by it in the interview and never point out that either she’s pretty damn wealthy to live in NYC have that kind of spare time, or she’s radically exaggerating what she’s doing.Hobbies should be about enjoyment. Not min/maxxing your skill tree.

Remember Lehman Brothers? The firm whose collapse was a major catalyst to the 2008 financial crisis? Today I learned that they finally shut the business down... two months ago.#TIL https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/lehman-s-uk-arm-finally-wound-up-17-years-since-bank-s-collapse/ar-AA1O6Gcf

Getting #Linux installed on my teenager’s desktop. Going to try to get him off of Windows. We have gotten as far as creating a password for his account and he is trying to think of one. He says out loud “hmm, how do you spell that word.”Son, if you have to ask that question, it is a bad choice for a password

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people. Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine. https://discord.com/press-releases/update-on-security-incident-involving-third-party-customer-service

This was hysterical: how many different secondary hashtags of "Quatermass Xperiment" could we come up with? I excluded these popular ones from the word cloud so that they wouldn't dominate. I've never seen so many variations for a secondary hashtag:quatermassquatermass1955thequartermassxperimentthequatermassexperimentquatermassxperiment#monsterdon

This is one of those sentences where at no point will you expect the next word in the sentence. “There is a special kind of rage that comes from realizing your car is gone while you are holding a box of dildos and trying to overthrow a federal agency before midnight. This is not covered in any mindfulness app.”https://www.closertotheedge.net/p/the-dildo-distribution-delegation#uspol #fuckice
