"Let's reorganize the mirror server's virtual disks", I thought.
"Just rename them for clarity."
"How hard can that be", I thought.
"What could possibly go wrong with that", I thought.
TL;DR: Currently re-downloading my Linux Mint repository because I accidentally trashed that virtual disk 🤦
Luckily, it's 'only' 200GB.
The Debian repository is 2.5TB, and Ubuntu is even 13TB 😳

#openSUSE 15.6 to 16.0 upgrade notes
Ich hatte auf Grund der Änderungen bei SLES16 ein neues Template erstellt, anstelle SLES15 zu upgraden
Meiner Meinung nach der bessere Weg

Dataverse Security Roles are hierarchical. If a user is in a Business Unit, they can't see data in the Parent BU unless you give them specific read depth. Visualizing the BU hierarchy on a whiteboard is the only way to stay sane during security setup.
Liebe Leute,
wenn Ihr der Verwandtschaft über die Feiertage die PCs richtet, welche Fernwartung installiert Ihr da (Linux/Linux, FOSS), um die bis zu den nächsten Weihnachtstagen nicht besuchen zu müssen?
TightVNC, Remmina, oder was ganz anderes? Rustdesk, Guacamole?

Recently came across the quote “Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft. We do what we do because we love Unix.”
You can think about de Raadt what you will, but that really resonated with me. I've been thinking about why i enjoy *BSDs much more than all the Linux Distros i came across recently, and this fells like it's a huge part of it. FreeBSD feels like you are using something that's built for admins, not hacked together out of spite.
Schöne Weihnachten an alle und ein paar erholsame Tage. Feiertage sind aktive Tage. Ich behalte die Dienste und die Server im Auge, denn zu gern wird diese Zeit von Bösewichten ausgenutzt. 🎅🎄🎁
#Weihnachten #AdminLife
Christmas nod to all Fediverse admins keeping the lights on with duct tape, Rails, shell scripts, and a healthy distrust of “just add AI”, growth hacks, and anyone promising scale before coffee.
You keep instances humane, imperfect, and running anyway.
That’s the magic.
Festive watch continues.
We see you.

Frage "aus Gründen": Kennt ihr einen seriösen Hoster der full managed Linux mit SLAs anbietet und Kunden trotzdem root Rechte überlässt? Z.B. um initial Software zu installieren?
Is there a practical guide for writing common auditd rules or do I have to study all Linux syscalls now to make sure I don’t miss something?

Update für einen Docker Container gemacht. Nach dem Start eskaliert der Container und lasst sich nicht mehr stoppen. Frisst sämtliche CPU-Power und macht das System unbenutzbar. Vor dem nächsten Start, teile ich maximale Ressourcen: zu 2 CPU, wenig RAM. Starte den Container, der läuft los, frisst die 2 CPUs und.... idlet nach 10 Sekunden wieder gemütlich vor sich hin. Vorhin 10 Minuten CPU-glühen. 🤷♂️
