That too, yes. General game server for a few games I play with friends, plus some datacrunching from time to time.

It’d be legal if they just claimed it was part of the training data

I find that whenever I see “provocateur”, substituting “scumbag edgelord” doesn’t change much.

He’s tried nothing and is all out of ideas.

“Melts down”

Yup, not reading that…

I assume that at most we’re talking about a couple of asshats posting their frustration on Twitter.

“Fuming” and “melts down”. Yeah, I’m not reading that article…

Free except from the drive to get there. But the drive is a lot cheaper than those racks would cost.

Vent fans at the top and the bottom. But it can be next to my work desk without the hardware getting annoying.

Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

Finally my hardware can have a proper rack instead of being in a stack/pile in this harrypotteresque locker under my stairs.

Not much these days. While it used to be “everything”, now it’s:

• Http/https
• dns
• Wireguard
• Minecraft
• beegfs

Incorrect. He didn’t die until August 3rd.

At this stage I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the Knox Virus. He’s from KY, after all.

Except the techbros have their faces full of rectoplasm after years of brownnosing this administration

Whenever I read “spurals”, “meltdown”, or “fuming” I just interpret it as some asshats angrily posting on twitter

Disclaimer I’m not American, and I don’t really have much actual knowledge on this subject.

…but I THINK the US presidents can actually do this. I’m not sure what the legal mechanism is, but I do remember some chatter some15 years ago about Obama releasing the reserves. This makes me believe that the strategic reserve builds up during normalcy, and can be drained through executive action.

Maybe the administration just misunderstood the meaning and the mandate of the White house.

My home servers have generally a lot smaller attack surface, as only a few ports are actually routed to them, so in theoey I could get away with a more relaxed approach. But I’m also a big believer in defense-in-depth, so I follow the same rules of thumb:

• iptables (or equivalent) that drops anything incoming that isn’t wanted. It also rejects anything going out that isn’t planned for.
• any public facing service (except ssh) gets its own user
• disable root login via ssh
• ssh login with key only on any user in sudoers

If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you

Well, there’s a footnote on my end: Me taking the drives home is a bit of a grey area, as the procedures say that the drives are to be mechanically destroyed when no longer needed. It doesn’t specify needed by whom. And I do attack them with my angle grinder, so it’s in accordance with company policy.

And yes, my employer knows and is OK with it. We go through a ridiculous amount of drives due to large storage needs, so pragmatism tends to trump bureaucracy.
