I worked at a place that implemented OCR based boot failure detection over ipkvm. Was cool at the time (15yrs ago). Right now pikvm with the power/reset shunts is all I need.

Backup server should be pulling from the clients and refuse inbound connections from everything except a non-client system... management or jumphost style. That box should also never touch or be mentioned on the clients. Different subnet is good too. I too use zfs for all my backups and...

That's what dynamic DNS is for..... and mine is hosted on Cloudflare.

Ansible is just python and free. Terraform can be free if you don't need enterprise features like SAML, RBAC, collab, ... OpenTofu is the TF fork to avoid the BSL (license) ~2+ years ago. You may end up using both, TF can make more sense in certain contexts/use cases. In CT last month my...

To give you an analogy on why you shouldn't host any server: your level of demonstrated knowledge in IT and what you are looking to achieve is akin to a teenager who has never seen more water than a bathtub wanting to swim across the English Channel on day 1.

On the other hand if you really want an interface, Clonezilla can do that. Pretty sure that's built on top of PartImage.

If you want to be pedantic, the program was called Remote Desktop Client. RDP is pretty good but I think it's easier to settle on something with an easy to stand up remote side that's consistent across platforms. Like rustdesk.

Considering HexOS' aim is 'simplicity' you may be SOL, that's not a simple config (for varying ideas of what simple means).

Bandwidth aside there are other fun caveats to the SR-IOV vswitch (again, model/manuf dependent). With an X710, I ran into a situation where the main NIC and the VFs under that NIC could not talk to each other on the same subnet. I had to keep all same-subnet comms on VFs. Perhaps there's a...

DACs have no coding. The only integrated cable w/ coding would be an AOC which is a unified set of 2 SFPs and an optical cable.

HDD - 26T for $45 less Pardon Our Interruption... If you don't want dust figure out how to make it a positive pressure case and use intake filters.

I would have swore this was done without a privileged container: That's 2 years old tho.

Depending on your mobo layout there are also m.2 cards with a pcie slot directly on it. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803389623446.html

Have you tried looping between 2 ports on the same card? Useless for a network, but you should at least get link lights.

raidZ speeds are significantly lower than that. Theoretical is N-1 *150MB (hdd speed) giving the same 600MB/s you wrote, but typical speeds are often half that. As for adding vdevs to a pool, there's now (tho not feature complete til 2.4) a rewrite command that will have the effect of...

The difference between all editions is digital fingerprints and what features work or get installed by default. You can safely convert it to whatever the on-system key wants.

IPMI actions from another host require the current password. Only local OS device access allows for bypassing the password check.

AST2500 cards can be gotten on AliEx... Anything else is going to be used 710/1030/??? nVidia stuff.

You keep running the same test... It's typically fine to do that, but when the test gives unexpected results consistently it's time to compare that to some new tests. Especially when everyone else insists the "pipes" are fine. fast.com is my go-to
