  • That depends on what level of HA you want to end up with.

    If you want proper HA, you’ll want to plan on adding a (small, like a Raspberry Pi) third node for quorum. If you are already taking backups and you just want “I can restore on the second system” then it’s slightly simpler, but mostly the same process:

    • Setup new node, add to cluster
    • Migrate all VMs and LXCs to new node
    • Remove and upgrade other node
    • Add rebuilt node to cluster

    If you’re planning on proper HA, I’d strongly advise having the proxmox installation on a second small drive on each node and leaving your 1tb drives as data only.

    This article half-explains one option for a two node setup (zfs replication), which is functional but not ideal. If you want to get your feet wet with Ceph then I can give you some pointers.







  • My ISP eventually started supporting IPV6, but only assigned /128

    This is hilarious to me.

    “We’ve got 7.9 septillion addresses to play with in each of our v6/32 LIR allocations… if we follow the standard and give each customer a whole network prefix, that caps us at 4 billion customers per LIR! Nonsense, let’s just give every household a single v6 address.”

    It’s like these people don’t understand what IPv6 is for.


  • There are a few ISPs in North America that support ipv6, but many many don’t. As much as I detest the recent push toward “5G Internet to the Home”, it at least does increase adoption of IPv6 since (from what I understand) basically all mobile carriers are v6-only and do NAT64 for v4 support.

    I don’t know if that translates to the 5G-at-home offering but it wouldn’t surprise me since most customers don’t care what address scheme is being used as long as Netflix works.


  • Go watch the Aging Wheels Silverado EV road trip video. Charging infrastructure is fine, and even when the truck itself broke and wouldn’t charge at the proper speed it was still fine.

    EVs aren’t being adopted because the fast charging infrastructure is lacking. Improvements can be made, sure, but that’s not the reason. 95%+ of people do not need fast charging.

    When (slow, 120 or 240V) charging is more available to people without garages/driveways (read: at apartments and in workplace parking lots) you’ll see EV adoption in the US ramp up substantially: new car buyers will opt for the thing that’s less likely to suddenly cost double-per-mile next week, and used car buyers will have an increasing supply of 3-10 year old EVs to choose from.






  • I resisted so much the concept of systemd, and certainly there still are some aspects of it that I think are objectively bad (looking at you, binary journal), but as I’ve been forced into using it for work I do think it’s a better system on the whole than sysvinit… at least for servers. I don’t know if it’s better or worse on desktops because I never really need to think about my init system on my own PCs.
