Geneva convention only applies to losers. Winners write history.

That's kinda my issue as well. I have a core 24 port L3 switch that's multigig POE and a 3 disk NAS.

The NAS I could technically downsize with a little bit of tinkering and money.

The switch will be hard to miniaturize.

Thankfully my router is already 1/2U and 1/2 width so that's easy to migrate.

I understand what you mean. The way I did it was a full disk encryption as an "external drive" so the whole disk was encrypted

No, that's absolutely true. Dynamic loads will need to be accounted for in real world examples.

Consider a dam that is 10m tall

Then consider the height of water behind that dam is 5m tall.

Does the dam need to be built stronger if the water behind it is 1 km long?

How about only 500m?

How about 1m?

The answer is, it doesn't matter. Water exerts pressure equally regardless of how much water is behind it.

Therefore a graduated cylinder that is 10m tall needs to resist the same amount of force as a dam 10m tall regardless of how much water is behind the dam. Even a thin sliver of water 1mm thick and 5m tall has the same force as a 5m lake behind the dam.

Incompressible fluids are pretty insane

Can you elaborate?

Germans say 1 hundred 6 and 9 ten... Because Germans like to be special. Learning German makes me appreciate Chinese and English counting. Although the -hundred delimitation confuses foreign speakers. Such as 15-hundred is actually 1,500

Chinese say 1 hundred 9 ten 6 as an added data point

When I sold my drives, I used veracrypt with a 128 character password and PIM of 800+.

Isn't that the same thing as shredding?

I usually say if you have time can you do XYZ? That way if they don't want to, it's assumed that they didn't have time which is fine. They always have a way out

Proxmox rebuild (self.selfhosted)
 

Greetings fellow enthusiasts.

I'm going to rebuild my proxmox server and would like to have a few opinions.

First thing is I use my server as a NAS and then run VMs off that.

I have 2 x 20tb in ZFS mirror but I'm planning on changing that to 3 x 24tb in ZFS1.

I currently have a ZFS pool in proxmox and then add that pool to Open Media Vault.

Issue is, if my OMV breaks and I'll have to create another VM, I'm pretty sure all that data would become inaccessible to my OMV.

I've heard of people creating a NFS in proxmox and then passing it through to OMV?

Or should I get HMB cards and then just pass it through the VM and then just run it natively within OMV. I'd need to install the ZFS kernal into OMV as well.

Would like to hear some options and tips.

 

Is there a FOSS program where I can inventory my high value items in case there is an insurance claim?

I was thinking of the item, the picture of the item and serial number, maybe the UPC, and then an attachment of the receipt.

I'm guessing some kind of database that integrates file attachments per item.
