  • wanted to implement something like that with my 1920R UPS for my rack but haven’t found the time to commit to antiquated hardware.

    Was enough of a hassle dealing with the expired SSL certs on the management card yet getting software running on one of my machines to communicate with the UPS.

    Honestly you should just bypass dells management software and use NUT. It supports your UPS’s management card if you enable SNMP or you can bypass it all together and just run off of the USB/serial.

    All things considered my two servers chilling chew around 60w on average, not taking into account my POE cameras or other devices. The UPS should run for over a day without getting close to draining its batteries (have a half populated ebm too).

    I’m pretty surprised I can run my whole network for an hour off of my 1500va UPS with three switches and a handful of POE devices. I’m still thinking about replacing it with a rack mount unit so i can lock it inside my rack as I’ve been having issues with unauthorized people messing with it.




  • But the DDoS protection and attack prevention is mostly snake-oil for most people.

    I wouldn’t say it’s snake oil for most people because of how cheap it costs to execute a DDoS attack, all it takes is for you to piss off one person for it to be worth it. Although you do not have to use cloudflare there are plenty of other protection services out there.

    And a side note, I can’t believe how hard it is to find statistics on how many DDoS attacks have happened that’s not from someone with a vested interest in the matter. I’d figure the FBI/IC3 or CISA would have better statistics on the matter.











  • A safe supply has a significant lower risk of overdose though. There is absolutely no consistency with potency even with the same dealer/suppliers. You either get a product that has been cut with inert additives to inflate the product supply or you have product that has been spiked with more potent analogs to achieve the same effect. None of this is done with any level of safety to ensure a completely homogeneous mixture meaning within the same batch the potency can vary. Without any consistency in potency users do not know how much they are actually administrating even if that dose appears like one they have previously safely done.

    This is a harm reduction technique and is in no way intended to replace other programs but simple reduce the amount of injury and death that is occurring as it’s hard to reintegrate an addict into Society if they are dead.




  • There’s some great testimonies from exit node operators out there. Basically it’s only a matter of time before some form of police knock on your door and ask questions but depending on your jurisdiction you won’t be liable for the traffic.

    Your IP will be added to most spam block lists which (unjustly) adds the master list of exit nodes so do not use your home internet connection to host an exit node.




  • I know you are saying Google doesn’t have to worry about redundancy to simplify the math but I think that makes it completely useless.

    Redundancy is not just about having another copy incase of data loss but more importantly for enterprises redundancy allows for more throughput. If each video was on a single hard drive the site would not be able to function as even the fastest multi actuator hard drive can only do 524 MB/s in a perfect vacuum.
