  • The OP made the argument that Zuckerberg wanted to know their passwords, such that if the users reused the same passwords elsewhere, then he would be able to log in there and check out their accounts.

    For example he could have seen a profile he was interested in, nabbed their password and looked into their email.

    Not that he wouldn’t have godmode on their Facebook account, and needed their password to access their account, because of course he could have just accessed those accounts without needing the password.

    I have not heard this rumor before, though I wouldn’t be completely surprised if it was true.

    Are these restrictions set out by the ISP or the dorm?

    If you don’t do business with the ISP, then you don’t have to agree to and follow their terms.

    So as long as the dorms doesn’t have rules against setting up your own WiFi, then you should be well within your rights to purchase an Internet connection from another provider, but since you are likely not allowed to get your own line installed, you are probably restricted to ISPs that provide a service over the cellular network.

    Of course using a cellular connection will give you worse latencies for online games, but at least you can have your own WiFi with low latency for your VR.

    If you want to be nice, you could then run as much of your Internet network over ethernet as possible, so you congest the air waves as little as possible, possibly only running the VR headset over WiFi, and maybe even only enabling the WiFi radio when you want to play VR. If all your WiFi devices support 5GHz, you might also completely disable your 2.4GHz WiFi, to leave the most congested frequencies alone.

    To lower the chance of someone complaining about your WiFi, you should configure it as a “hidden network”, such that it doesn’t broadcast an SSID, and therefore doesn’t show up when people are looking for WiFi networks to connect to.


  • I really don’t see much benefit to running two clusters.

    I’m also running single clusters with multiple ingress controllers both at home and at work.

    If you are concerned with blast radius, you should probably first look into setting up Network Policies to ensure that pods can’t talk to things they shouldn’t.

    There is of course still the risk of something escaping the container, but the risk is rather low in comparison. There are options out there for hardening the container runtime further.

    You might also look into adding things that can monitor the cluster for intrusions or prevent them. Stuff like running CrowdSec on your ingresses, and using Falco to watch for various malicious behaviour.




  • So as far as I understand, you have

    • Outer router (Comcast), which has WiFi enabled
    • Inner router (your own), which has WiFi enabled, and further meshes with other WiFi mesh devices (or is the mesh separate?)
    • A plain switch, for stuff you want cabled and fast

    Is that correct?

    Why not get the WiFi in the Comcast router disabled, and use your inner network exclusively, such that both WiFi and ethernet devices are on the same network?

    That’s what I did with my network, and I even got the ISP to put their modem/router into bridge mode, so it’s completely transparent.






  • ZFS doesn’t really support mismatched disks. In OP’s case it would behave as if it was 4x 2TB disks, making 4 TB of raw storage unusable, with 1 disk of parity that would yield 6TB of usable storage. In the future the 2x 2TB disks could be swapped with 4 TB disks, and then ZFS would make use of all the storage, yielding 12 TB of usable storage.

    BTRFS handles mismatched disks just fine, however it’s RAID5 and RAID6 modes are still partially broken. RAID1 works fine, but results in half the storage being used for parity, so this would again yield a total of 6TB usable with the current disks.

      • 512 MB EFI
      • BTRFS partition for / filling up the rest

    • 1TB SATA SSD
      • 500 GB Windows installation for VR games
      • 500 GB BTRFS partition mounted at /mnt/games

    Since both my root and home are on the same BTRFS partition they share space.

    I have made sure to create sub volumes for the Steam and Game install directories, to avoid taking snapshots of them.

    Steam has 2 “libraries” registered, one in my home directory and one in /mnt/games
