The documentation is excellent, and there's always a reason to explain what you see. On the Linux side, I remember the same enthusiasm for understanding things when I first installed Slackware and, some time later, Gentoo. Nowadays, I think the Arch Wiki is the best source for Linux documentation. npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub1p8y…6z8p Good morning and have a great Saturday! npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub120s…2aa8 but I'm sure you're in a better shape than that server npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub19qv…0tmd Yes, not far from the truth. npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub18cr…07g9 for setups like this, typically, I just stick to having backups every few minutes (ZFS send-receive) as a few hours of downtime are perfectly acceptable. Experience has taught me that, in certain contexts, the desperate pursuit of auto failover and HA at all costs can cause more problems than it would solve. Typically, these servers are stable and don't have any particular issues. In the case of more serious and important setups, where 5 minutes of downtime every year could already be a headache, I clearly implement different solutions: DB clusters (in simpler situations: database replicas, Redis clusters, network filesystem like ceph or similar if necessary, etc.) and load balancers in front like multiple nginx installations, haproxy or CDN able to detect a down (even a simple and cheap bunny.net dns switch based on health check can do the trick). Similar to how I handle Linux - excluding, of course, all the Kubernetes/etc. npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli Today marks 7 months since I made the BSD Cafe public. These days, I'm quite busy and don't have much time to dedicate, but when I want to relax in the evening, I open one of the interaction tools and see wonderful people, great conversations, and interesting topics. I just want to say thank you to you, friends who are part of the BSD Cafe, and to all of you, friends of the BSD Cafe. #BSDCafe #ThankYou #Community npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli "Ok, it's Caturday.

One interesting thing, though - I helped a client choose a Linux sysadmin. As I often do in these situations, I started the interview with a question: 'Suppose you have a Linux machine in front of you, you can access the boot loader, it's not encrypted, and you can't boot from another device. Can you become root and change its password?' Sometimes, people struggle to answer, but they show an understanding of the boot process logic. Others are left in the dark. #BusyDay #Linux #SysAdmin npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli The BSD Cafe Mastodon instance has been upgraded to v4.2.5 #BSDCafe #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeServices #Mastodon npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub1zzn…4smd What's your locale config?

She had to replace a fuel injector, and it's only at 30,000 km, but since it's out of warranty, we'll have to foot the bill. Today's cars are getting too complex, and the chances of breakdowns are skyrocketing.

Making the most of some sunshine, with plenty to sort out both indoors and outdoors. And the most dire part... I've run out of coffee!!! #MorningTasks #Gardening #CoffeeEmergency #ServerLife npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli @npub1ej5…3y90 it's https://photolovers.net - not a part of the BSD Cafe, but I remember you have an accont there. npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli Good morning, world!

However, since yesterday, the connection on my smartphone has significantly worsened, fluctuating and inconsistent. Switched back to 4G, everything went back to normal. It doesn't make much sense, but I've read it's a common thing. npub14calwd6xg349ahf3nnhhyqem2w2e3gs66p7zctz2sna74u3tsddq7j0nj8 Stefano Marinelli At 17:00: - Woke up early with a server crash...check. - Had an appointment to meet the new GP...check. - On the way back, my car broke down, waited two hours for the tow truck to take it to the garage...check. - Phone call with the medical center (a client) dealing with a colleague's error who deleted an entire virtual server (restored thanks to a ZFS snapshot rollback)...check. - Back at the office, but no water due to emergency roadwork for a pipe issue...check. - Had a rushed, very late lunch with the last (terrible) sandwich at the bar...check.

They need a server to host their website, a small e-commerce platform, and a shared file storage solution. I suggested a FreeBSD-based solution with jails but was asked for alternatives without any explanation. So, I offered Linux options, possibly with Docker services, LXC containers, or separate VMs. Still, they requested other solutions. I started explaining about an OpenBSD-based approach with separate VMs for each service, or even NetBSD. Again, alternatives were requested. At that point, I paused and asked, 'Do you have any specific solution in mind?' The reply was, 'Something based on Windows or, at most, MacOS. I don’t trust this free stuff, it might be okay for universities, but the real world is something else.' I hadn’t heard such a statement in over 20 years. I began to explain... to no avail. I also mentioned that I work with these systems, not Windows or MacOS on servers (???). With an air of superiority, they insisted that’s what they wanted and had no budget limits to get it. I quoted them 50,000 euros. The call ended within the next 30 seconds. 🤣 #TechSupport #ITConsulting #OpenSource #Linux #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #Docker #VM #Windows #MacOS #ClientStories #TechWorld
