> GAY EDITION

Are you interested in learning Linux administration and configuration better. Becoming a systemd expert? Or maybe you hate that shit and want a cozy little BSD machine to run services on and interact with. Or practice more advanced and complicated networking setups.

Well come join /hsg/ thread and have a gay old time discussing it!

gettin fucking tired of linux, seriously considering MINIX.

Tell me if anybody has tried this before please?

I know it's going to have its pain points but is it 100% stupid or just 99% stupid?

Does anyone have experience using BMC or IPMI? I just unknowingly picked up a board that features it, and it looks like it could be nifty or just kinda neat to check out.

Also, what Linux configs do I need to set for IPMI support? I'm on Gentoo.

IPMI is handy for remote access when networking on the host OS is fucked.

100% stupid unless you're building an embedded device on a chip-set less powerful than a ralink 5350.

>BMC or IPMI

what are these

IPMI lets you remotely manage a server even if the host OS is fucked. You can also do console redirection and send power on/off signals to the server from a web interface usually

BMC is the chip on the server board that powers all of this, basically running a separate OS alongside the host OS

In short, it's a botnet for server control

Anyone else /datahoard/ here? I am stocking up. I have no idea why, but it is comforting.

Is it safe to plug an external HDD to a RPi 3 to use it as my own cloud?

>Virginity Forever: The Post

Yeah, but I have more that 10TB of hentai! Who even needs real relationships?

Yeah, but its going to be slow as hell. RasPi combines the USB and ethernet bus, you arent even going to get 50Mb/s writes.
Godly trips.

Sup guys. After I had my server set up I left there running on without adding anything more. Currently a web and a seedbox beside some backup jobs. I'm trying to find more to do with it since I want to learn about it but everything I find doesn't fit me at 100%.

Someone have some ideas? Beginer-Average level if you need info.

does this proprietary thing rely on the "cloud" botnet?

not really yet. its expensive af and i need to buy new almost everything because my current pc does not have any free sata ports and the case has space for only 4 more hdds. it has ~7tb storage now.

No. You can run it all internally. If you need to access it remotely, you can use a VPN or maybe set it up in some other way I haven't figured out. This thing has total control over the machine though, so if it's exposed you're basically giving away physical access. You can configure the BIOS and everything from this.
The board I have has a dedicated ethernet port for it but it's entirely optional. Upon cold boot, my server has to wait for the BMC to initialize at which it will set up IPMI on 192.168.1.3, and you can go there from any web browser and do whatever.

I don't know about other IPMI solutions, but the ASRock one I'm using even has support for virtual media so you can mount media over the network and install an OS completely remotely.

what data

Everything. A bunch of music, movies, manga, a shit load of pdfs and documents, mirrors of a few websites, just about everything that I come across on the web.

Protip: most USB3 drive enclosures have poorly documented maximum drive sizes. I cucked myself by buying 4x8TB and using an enclosure with a 6TB per drive max.

I have hundreds of pictures of Sup Forumsproganda

why would the enclosure have a size limit? i have some chink enclosure and anything works on it.. its the os/fs that could limit you.

I'm moving in with some friends and they already have an internet connection set up, but its only 12mbps and for some reason they refuse to upgrade it.
I'm still under contract for mine, which is 40, and the house has two lines running to it so I should be able to just hook that up and be good to go.

That being said, is there some way to have a fileserver hooked up to both networks over wireless, using two different nics?

Presumably it's a combined drive enclosure with a single interface, not a single drive dummy enclosure

Its good that you got rid of your faggy pastebins but kill yourself for posting a discord link

kill yourself too

just give up now. if you're too retarded to even figure out what you would want to run. you'll never be able to configure it

>I don't know about other IPMI solutions, but the ASRock one I'm using even has support for virtual media so you can mount media over the network and install an OS completely remotely.
this is normal and has been around forever

>wireless

>hurr durr wireless isnt good enough hurrrr!!!@!
It's not my house jackass, I won't necessarily be able to snake cables all the way into the living room. And it's more for them to be able to stream movies off of it, it'd be hardwired into my network.

enjoy your interference

You're a moron.

>just give up now. if you're too retarded to even figure out what you would want to run. you'll never be able to configure it
Indeed, you're mostly right. I know a few things I want to run but they're either too big for my setup or they're just not what I need.

And on top of all, I don't want to forget from "If you don't know why you need you don't need it"

found out my main hard drive on my ts140 shit itself last night taking down my pfsense vm and a couple others. hdd regenerator brought back 2500 bad sectors but i dont know if i can pull my pfsense machine off in which case i will have to rebuilt it and use a couple week old backup

oh well, gives me more of a reason to move everything to my hp stuff, still gotta buy 4 more 6tb wd reds to put into my 4th which isnt mounted

probably going to buy another 1500va ups as well

Are those paloalto's worth it for a basic home settup?
Looking at getting a 500 maybe

if you have to ask, no. this one is from work. 500's are a fucking pain in the ass to deal they take a long time to commit so just get a 220 instead, but unless you get a deal on the licenses i would just use something else.

with that said i am probably going to buy a 220 personally for myself next year

Everyone and their mom runs minix. Thanks to intel it's become the pleb OS.

i stopped using a veam a little while ago when it kept giving me stupid snapshot consolidation bullshit. i backup my data to external drives but i just am not making vm backups

as in it wasnt consolidating snapshots? this rarely happens at least in my experience and if you run veeam one, it'll alert you to this.

i cant tell if your pic is ironic or not

also if you run something like cisco firepower it can back itself up, not that this is why you choose a firewall but still

pfsense can auto backup, i suppose i should start using it.

either way i recoverd enough of the drive to boot it back up so im just going to start moving data off that host. gotta get it back up before i leave and head out for xmas

Correct. Four drives, one USB connection.

Is it possible to use veeam with esxi free? Last time I tried, only manual backups worked.

No, it's not. Use a keygen for ESX

wireless can be good if you live in a place that does not have many 5ghz aps yet. im the only one with a 5ghz router here so its works fine. i do usually use a cable tho but i have tried it and it works.

so how do you know that all that pirated proprietary software you run does not contain backdoors or other malicious shit?

there are keygens for ESXi and vCenter

>i'm too retarded to know what checksums are
>i'm too retarded to know what keygens are
>i dont think you can just download installers from the vendors website
also that ignores that my firewall is configured to use a whitelist so even if something tried to connect to a botnet i'd know and it would be blocked by default. the only software I use which requires a crack which I didnt write myself is Veeam and vidya, And the vidya I just run in its own VM on a isolated PVLAN port, and whitelisted access at layer 3

well, since the lady also carries a rainbow flag, I would guess her sign is just trying to mock right-wing arguments through irony.

any keygen for VMware NSX?

No but here is a license key for 1.6 million nodes. Works on Log Insight too.

SOMEONE FUCKING BOUGHT ALL THE DRIVES I WAS PLANNING TO BUY

Pic related, my homo server.

Raspberry Pi 3, running OSMC:
>Media player, SMB server (media library and Playstation 2 ISOs)

500 GB 2,5" HDD, scavenged from an old laptop

ASUS cheapo wireless router
>Connected via eth: Raspberry Pi 3, PS2, my Thinkpad, PS2 slim, HP laser printer

Werksforme.jpg

I will probably get a powered hub and another HDD for backups.

The RasPi also acts as a seedbox.

Any idea on how to get this a bit tidier? I already have short 30 cm UTP cables connecting the modem, router and the Pi, color coded, but it's still a bit messy for my taste.

your shitbox isnt a server and if you cant figure out how to use zip ties and other cable management products you dont belong here

Bixnood strikes again! Look at him go! We are so proud of you big boy!

>i wished he would use a trip

>your shitbox isnt a server and if you cant figure out how to use zip ties and other cable management products you dont belong here

Nigga I don't need zipties if my cables are made to size OK? Any longer cables are velcro'd together nicely. I was asking for tips on how to arrange the components physically.

Also, no sane person would ZIPTIE cables together in a home server, because everything is bound to change and then you'll have to cut ties.

my thoughts exactly

>I was asking for tips on how to arrange the components physically.
thats even more retarded

>Also, no sane person would ZIPTIE cables together in a home server, because everything is bound to change and then you'll have to cut ties.

you clearly dont understand why would you want to use zip ties. they can do more than velcro
