They can deliver the data that they do have, which will be encrypted. Though I doubt they were ever recording calls anyway.

Recommendations for running VMs on a headless server? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If you don’t want to go to a proper VM solution like Proxmox or TrueNAS, Mint is still on X so you can SSH into it and run graphical apps through it. Runs remarkably well.

What is TrueNAS writing all the time to disk? (mander.xyz)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have a TrueNAS install with SMB turned on and nothing else. Even when it’s idle and nothing is accessing it, there’s constant disk activity. Very low bandwidth, but it’s like some log is in verbose mode.

TrueNAS is installed in a NVMe disk with plenty of room, and there’s only one pool. I’ve checked my snapshot configuration, nothing enabled faster than daily.

What could be causing it? How do I stop it or redirect it to the NVMe drive? I’m willing to create a partition on the NVMe drive if that’s what will do it.

Edit: thanks everyone for all the feedback, I’ll try these out and report back.

Self hosting courses on Udemy (mander.xyz)
 

So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?

I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.

Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?

I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.

I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.

Ingenious ways to measure power draw (mander.xyz)
 

So I wanted to get myself a Kill-a-watt. Being who I am, I wanted information regarding its accuracy, especially at low power draws. I found a comparison with a industry grade equipment (Fluke is about the best out there in handheld electrical meters). It’s not encouraging, so I thought about a more proper meter, but it’s not easy to find an actual power meter that is accurate at low loads, isn’t a hassle to install and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

What do you use? Am I overthinking it?

Local backup on TrueNAS (mander.xyz)
 

I am building my 3-2-1 backup system and wanted to add an external HD to my TrueNAS machine. Since it only works with ZFS, I thought of setting up that drive as a compressed, dedup ZFS volume.

I have a truckload of NVMe left on the boot drive that I could repartition and turn some of the free space as a dedup vdev for the backup drive. I don't have any other physical bays to add a dedicated drive on the machine.

A) Is that a bad idea? What are the downsides of using the boot drive like that?

B) Which tool do you recommend for local backup? I'm looking for actual incremental backup, not just a sync tool.
