Not for a boss, but my girlfriend’s is probably appropriate. “Gloom Despair and Agony on Me” from Hee Haw.

In the military, you are obligated to not follow unlawful orders. Does that go all the way to the CIC?

Nurses Protest 'Deeply Troubling' Use of AI in Hospitals (www.404media.co)

“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their...

Huh. This is how I feel about LNPs who think they are doctors too. I think in most cases I’d prefer the ai.

No.

Recommendations please: Self-hosted web site analytics

Hello y’all! I have my personal (static) website / blog running on netlify out on the public internet. Netlify, in case you’re not familiar, is not a traditional web host, so I can’t add databases or anything else like that on the server itself. Right now, that site has zero analytics / visitor tracking and I’ve decided...

You can ship to Graylog with netcat or filebeat. Then you can do all of your graphing, searching, and analysis there.

Dams are the worst. They destroy habitat and ecosystems, and are dangerous. No new dams should ever be built anywhere.

That wasn’t a gaffe. It’s his normal way of not knowing a damned thing about any subject and just spewing random adjectives.

Real IT pros don’t use either of those in the first place.

Even windoze has native openssh built in now. Most people who don’t like pain will simply use wsl instead.

Tell me you’ve never properly managed enterprise equipment at scale…

What would you like to see in a house IT setup?

Currently remodeling a domicile, with the sweet and expensive ability to add anything I want within reason. I plan on modernizing the place to bring it into the 21st century because this house deserves it (just a great structure with lots of history and nearing it’s centennial birthday)....

Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to...

I use it. No complaints here. They’ve recently reduced their rates. The alternatives are more involved and more expensive. I put my remote Borg repos on rsync.net

Because I use Borg I don’t really need their zfs snapshots but those are pretty cool too.

I have multiple Borg repos, so rather than add a remote for each I just rclone everything at once to rsync.

I replaced all of mine with Nvidia shield and Walmart onn streaming pucks. It’s a better experience in every way (once projectivy is installed) and costs less too.

What a great use of time.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Unfortunately, mail is a complex subject. Those folks are generally right. I’ve been doing this awhile, and know what I am doing. My solution will blow the doors off of canned solutions in both performance and lack of false positives. But it is a custom solution and I do not recommend it for most people. I had toyed with the idea of putting a management console on the thing, but for the effort involved, I didn’t feel it is worth it these days with barracuda and proxmox mail gateway products out there.

One big item to deal with if you self host these days is to be on IP address space that is not blacklisted by most spam filters. Comcast’s non-business IP space, for example. Linode for another. If you are in this situation, you can relay through a third party, but you are then not controlling things end to end.

Another issue now is that many recipient providers are requiring valid dmarc, dkim, and spf records. You will need to have all three properly configured for the domains that you manage.

What you might want to do, though, is perhaps host your own mail security relays that stand in front of your ‘ready to go’ mail provider of choice. This is much slower than mine, but is what I would use if standing something up for a company these days: www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-mail-gateway/overview

Or if you want to host everything yourself, there are some solutions out there so you no longer need to piece it together. Search for ‘self hosted email’. I would still put a mail gateway like proxmox in front of it for your edge security and filtering though.
