You're reading a post sent through a router barely holding together with a USB 2.0 tethering from an Android phone in 5G that clearly needs more amps
Your insurance calls this monstrosity through a VPS linked with Tailscale to my home lab

Fuck Bitnami (aka VMware Tanzu (aka Broadcom)) for breaking charts and deployment depending on their image for "security" sake

Their charts are some of the most deployed, convenient and used as dependency, so obviously you want to make everyone pay

The deprecation notice was too short [โ€ฆ]

Oh and my NAS don't have a RAID for the OS since my HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plusโ„ข dont have NVMe slot
So I bought a PCIe card while I was a student, cheap out with only one slot on the card and one drive

Ethanell (@flifloo@mastodon.flifloo.fr) TL;DR : I just tested my backup solution Go all my services back online, the Mastodon instance is back in the federated game ๐ŸŽ‰ My NAS NVMe OS broke, the whole server froze No NFS for my k8s cluster (I know, I know, I will setup Rook, but I need to buy so many SSD and I don't have the budget yet), so no service needing persistence running and no home automation or DNS... This thing broke so hard that a BIOS (even the iLO) froze and took an hour to POST... To get nothing detected \o/

This is ironic but at work I'm actually working on improving the backups and archive with better system, procedure, monitoring and immutability

This is really easy to restore the docker folder with Kopia
The containers reboot without any issues, this is too smooth, I'm not sure how it's possible

Everything is back online, I lost two years of my life with the amount of stress in two day...

Wait... I got less than 24h of downtime \o/ [โ€ฆ]

After my wonderful BF bought me a new NVMe while I was at work, I reinstalled Debian 13 (free upgrade) as soon as I got back home

ZFS was not straightforward to install as always, and the pool got imported despite kicking and screaming for the non existing cache devices
Once the pool is back [โ€ฆ]

I head a lot about the Google outage that happened last Thursday, but I didn't even know about it since I wasn't impacted

At work were totally open source, without any GAFAM service
It's the same at home, for me and my bf

Thanks @quad9dns & @kagihq !

Another win for the Flipper Zero, this thing can do UART to USB and it's great !

But the start wasn't great, my serial port have the TX and RX switched

Once started, I look around the Web UI, kinda net and look a lot like the new ones.

Just don't enable HTTPS if you don't want to be locked out because of its horrendous TLS version that no longer supported...

Next I need to install DSM !
And now I learn that old Linux executable can be worse than old EXE with Wine...

First, I wanted to see how this would work with its stock DSM (Synology software).
The latest supported software is DSM 3.1-1639 from 2014

Sadly Synology no longer provide old DSM, so, thanks to the nas-forum I got the Wayback Machine link to the file
