I called Ebay to report the seller and I told them this very thing. They said they will be on the lookout for more reports. I told them I know people outside the US that have ordered this and are now stuck with VAT and import fees for a hat.
For my package, they listed 6.7lbs as the weight. The beanie showed up.
Please reach out to eBay regarding this fraud. They don't have a direct number so you will need to chat with the AI bot and tell it to connect you to an agent. Then it will schedule an agent to call the phone number on your account. It's actually easier than a long time ago having to call an 800 number to wait in queue.
Usability vs security
.I could also use something like Qubes OS but to be honest I typically prefer a Debian-base (be it Debian or Ubuntu). Also KVM instead of Xen (Qubes OS uses Xen Hypervisor).
I think that would very easily get very complex though, let alone it will explode the Disk Space usage if you need a full VM for every Application.
On Desktop I use
firejail but the most it does (IMHO) is to limit the access your sandbox Application has to the Folders. Like all of them have access to my /home/<user>/Downloads Folder, but only a few have access to more.Bubblewrap would be way better but it's more complex to configure.
Running everything inside containers would also be unpractical although, if you run them as separate Users (using
podman), you would effectively ensure isolation from one app to the other, in case one gets compromised.I'm not doing that right now, but seeing e.g. cryptominers making their way into Docker Images (or e.g. React Apps in general), highlights to me that that is another Thread Vector that needs to be considered.
That's something to be mindful ... on my Container Server where I run around 40 Containers as a
podman User (rootless), you already have the benefit of running rootless in case anything gets compromised. However, since Volumes are a PITA to deal with and Filesystem Permissions using subuid/subgid can be a PITA in their own right, I mostly run every container as podman User too, so one container getting compromised can compromise all other containers.Possible Solutions (I'm currently evaluating the latter) include:
- Different unprivileged Users for each Application in one KVM Virtual Machine
- Different unprivileged LXC Containers with one podman User (unprivileged LXC + unprivileged podman)
Not sure if this is a good deal but Intel DC P4510 1TB 2.5" U.2 SSD / SSDPE2KX010T8 (69 euros)
Intel DC P4510 1 TB 2,5" U.2 SSD / SSDPE2KX010T8 | eBay.de
Modellbezeichnung: SSDPE2KX010T8. Modellserie: DC P4510 SERIES. Sehr gut – Refurbished. Hierbei werden nicht nur Staub und Schmutz, sondern auch Aufkleber und Beschriftungen entfernt. Datenträger wie beschrieben/abgebildet.

Good Point about pulling vs pushing.
My thought was for backup Server to pull from Client, but not so much for security Reasons.
It just seemed easier/more logical, maybe because I wouldn't need 100 Users, cannot remember now (didn't do it yet).
Another decent deal from italy: SSD SAS HP 1,92 Tb. DOPE1920S5xnNMRI Server (not SATA) | eBay.de
HPE SAS 1.92TB read intensive for 89€/piece — unfortunately it's only SAS2

Limited to one backup in which way ?
For Block/Filesystem Level Backup you can use
zfs snapshots.For File Level Backup you can use
restic, borg, rsnapshots, ... There are plenty of choices.BackupPC / Amanda / Bacula are some older software, not sure how much I'd like to use them nowadays. Surely exposing a Samba/CIFS Server just for that is quite the Security Risk ...
Also ZFS you could create a File-based Pool, send snapshot to it, then upload your ZFS Pool (File-backed) to any cloud Storage (after encrypting it in whatever Way you prefer).
My only Issue with Linux (would be the same with Windows) is about saltstack and secrets management. That was my only big roadblock.
If you set up a User & Password manually on each End, it should be pretty easy.
Windows does plenty of stupid Stuff. So can you especially on Windows.
OK so which Backup Solution do you want, if not archive based ? Block based ? I'm not sure I follow you.
As for security/encryption, I personally encrypted all of my Servers (minus some Raspberry Pi etc whose Performance would completely tank if I did). Locallz it's one Thing, but for sure if you want to upload your backup to the Cloud ... Well, think about it

According to the eBay images, video, and text policy on attaching photos to feedback, I need your permission to use these photos. Would you grant me and other people who ordered these SSDs and received hats permission to use your photos for eBay reviews?
Also, has anyone else left feedback on this seller? Because it looks like eBay might be suppressing it.

Seems crazy expensive to me
.I could get 3.84 TB for less than 100 EUR a few Months back (SATA, not NVMe though).
Before I list, anyone interested in a bunch of samsung SM863 960GB sata SSDs? I was originally collecting them for a new NAS build, but ended up finding a good lot of Intel S3500 and S3610 1.6TB SSDs instead. I'm tempted to take slight advantage of the current price premiums
I have 10 of them, with somewhere between 300 to 900TB written. They are rated for 6,160TBW, so tons of life left.

I sold a bunch of these, and got a pissed off buyer wanting his €900 back because he somehow got a box full of clothes afterward :skull:Before I list, anyone interested in a bunch of samsung SM863 960GB sata SSDs?

Still a ridiculous incident and at this point I have no ****ing idea what happened, PostNL/DHL screw-up or a scam attempt.
Yeah, it's AI Hell
.I should have bought more when I had the Chance. Well, I still need to deploy them anyways, so it's not like they are currently being used ... yet.
There is always some Parts I miss for the Server Builds, then everything drags on ... forever
.Same happened to friend of mine, he sold macbook to a guy and the guy received box of shoes.
The company just shrugged off the report and did nothing of course. But the guy was very nice person and they splitted the loss 50/50.
I simply sent him the €100 or so I got reimbursed by PostNL. ****er didn't even ask for insured shipping mind you, it was my dad that sent it as 'insured', albeit only up to €100.
Eh, doesn't matter. He can whine all he wants, both Dutch and German law are clear: once a parcel leaves my hands it's no longer my concern. Now he's threatening to sue me and all that crap lmfao, just eat the €800 loss and take it as a lesson for next time... like, ask for actual insured shipping!

If they be cheap enough, I could use them in my lab to reduce the power draw from my NAS. With current prices, no, not interested.Before I list, anyone interested in a bunch of samsung SM863 960GB sata SSDs?

They run a bit hotter than other NVMEs and are a PITA to get firmware updates (see https://forums.servethehome.com/ind...-hgst-ultrastar-sn260-firmware-updates.34135/ ).
Otherwise they should work out of the box even on a 4x link, provided the motherboard is not capping the available power on this slot. Also they have an excellent endurance (3DWPD), they can be safely used used as any form of cache drive.
