SSD harddrive appears to have died on my home network's RPi 4 DNS server and for some stupid reason not a single device automatically started using the secondary. Whats the point in a secondary if nothing bloody uses it!
The family was not amused at the downtime. Made much harder to diagnose by the RPi being headless.
If anyone has advice on recovering a BTRFS superblock from an LVM I'd appreciate it.

I've been playing it loosey goosey with backups on my #HomeLab lately. Durnik, my original Portainer workhorse, gets all the love and has very specific backup routines per application hosted.
My new ProxMox powerhouse, Belgarath, is going the lazy admin route - I just backup the the entire server as an image daily. Thinking it's time to revisit and setup similar per VM / app backups.
Do you know when you have hung on to a mobile phone for too long? When you get a quote to sell it and the phone is worth $2 USD. Sleep well Pixel2. I'll find something for you to do in the #homelab.
Yesterday i replaced a SSD in one of my home servers. The amount of dust was terrible. A very thin and consistent layer of dust in all the insides. What tips can you share to attenuate dust inside our boxes? #homelab#homeserver
For quite a while now, I have relied on terminal into my Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main workstation, as my daily driver. While it works all right for most cases, there are certain compatibility issues that requires a "... in WSL" search term for documentations/issues.
Close to a month now I have been using a #Ubuntu#terminal only VM on my #homelab#Proxmox cluster. For ones who can roll this out, this seems the best approach.
Upgraded the homelab’s 10gb switch to the UniFi EnterpriseXG. Not only do I have more 10gb ports now, I also have far fewer SFP+ modules in use, and the switches are all matchy matchy.
Also, I swear the whole rig has less latency now. I can’t prove it, but it sure feels snappier.
Dropped some updates to selfh.st/apps this morning - tiles now have visible/clickable tags, URL properties have been added for sharing custom views with others, and I've added a ton of new project icons.
I'm completely open to feedback on future improvements, but probably won't consider adding any more details to the tiles to prevent them from becoming too cluttered.
About ready to start working on my first homelab machine for self-hosting things instead of just glomming all my services on to the NAS. How feasible is it to start out on a Raspberry Pi while I get the hang of things? #selfhosting#selfhosted#homelab#raspberrypi
Re-organizing the #Homelab and currently stuck on #HardThingNo2, naming things. My #aspie brain thinks it'd make most practical sense to name things by function, e.g. workstation01, firewall01, cluster01node01, etc. (which adds the question of how many leading zeroes), would like to name things with geeky references e.g. FUCKUP, Ozma, 7of9, etc. (which runs into issues as soon as you try for a coherent theme of enough components...), and is worried that from a security perspective something memorable yet unrelated to its function might be wise, e.g. blue charybdis, amber cyclops, periwinkle gorgon (But then I'm not running a spy agency here... as far as you know :-P).
