  • For anyone who wants to support the author and doesn't mind giving Google their cut, I just noticed it's $2.99 right now on Play Books after promotional discounts. All 500+ pages. I bought it just now with Opinion Rewards credit that I earned by feeding Google junk data.

  • NAT loopback, if supported and enabled, may appear to bypass firewall rules.

    Basically, traffic to your public (WAN) IP that comes from inside the network is not subject to the same level of security as outside traffic would be. The last part of the parent comment didn't quite make sense, though.

  • Basically because it's a redundant server I don't really care about that only rarely gets fired up these days, and I have a second, identical controller for exactly the scenario you're imagining.

    But really because I'm lazy and depressed and don't have the energy to take on learning something new (to me) like Unraid at this point. The same server does actually run software RAID for all the VMs' solid state boot volumes, just not for the mechanical drives that store content which is all replaceable anyway as it's freely available on Usenet.

    Also, this is a personal system. I take much better care of my customers because I am deeply grateful for my 10 hour-per-week "full time" salaried job that I'm incredibly lucky to have in the first place and am currently doing from bed with my dogs right next to me. Well, I will be anyway after I hit submit.

    Eventually.

  • Cool. My older RAID controller maxes out at 16TB per drive so that wouldn't work for me either way but I did gamble on some rebranded SAS drives from Amazon once and haven't regretted it. Water Panther was the name, recertified WD Enterprise drives I believe. That was over five years ago and they're all still running strong. The shucked Seagates that I bought brand new all self destructed in a matter of months but, to be fair, they were garbage SMR drives that were never meant to leave the safety of their USB enclosures. They do still work but the write throughput is now somewhere between DSL and dialup...
