  • Neat. I remember me and my friends trying to come up with enough stuff to build our own world. Pretty sure we didn't but still cool to see all the player built stuff.

    Looks like 1.4.1 is the first Graal Reborn revision. Don't see a 1.4.0 anywhere. Are you running the server as well or just the client?

  • For the disks, you may have a small issue with having multiple types of disks in a single RAID10, as those disks might have slightly different physical attributes. ZFS is an option here as you can add two vdevs for the different drive types and add them to the same zpool, which effectively creates the RAID10 you're looking for. You would typically not use LVM on top of ZFS but if you go with RAID10 it would let you create logical partitions that can be expanded easily at a later time.

    Another ZFS option is to use RAIDZ1 with the 4 disks in a vdev. The vdev will use 1 disk of space across all disks to maintain a parity with the other disks. You will have 12TB of usable storage on your 16TB raw storage. This will allow you to lose one drive with no data loss.

  • My line of business is entirely a Microsoft shop so everything we've ever written has been for MSSQL.

    That being said, I can understand the benefits of having a choice in backend. For example, for our Zabbix deployment some engineer just installed mariadb+zabbix on a server and called it a day. This has caused us no end of troubles (ibdata misconfigured, undo files too small, etc). After the last time I had to rebuild it due to undo file corruption I swore that if it broke again I was switching to postgres. So far knocks on wood we haven't had any major issues. We're still looking into and planning for a postgres migration but we're hoping to hold out for a little longer prep time.

    Maybe I should contribute a MSSQL engine for Zabbix so I can move it to a platform I'm more comfortable with. ;)

  • Each distribution is different but Arch has stated that they did have the exploit artifact in their version of xz but the artifact was not loaded into memory with sshd as their process does not link sshd with liblzma library.

    More details below but highly recommend upgrade/downgrade anyways to remove the exploit code version.

  • While the full extent of the exploit is not fully known, it seems specifically targeted at the sshd binary on deb and rpm based systems. If you've got that service disabled it should not have been running actively on your system. You should still perform whatever is needed to downgrade, but I would say you're in the clear.

  • It's likely a Google Console verification file to show you own the domain (e.g. to make changes to search results). It has to be published to the site with a random url that only the owner and Google know, but it's still a public file. I don't think it's an issue if it's stored in source as Google will query the site and not the source for that file.

    If OP is concerned they can also change the verification method: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9008080?hl=en

  • Yes, but as I've found recently AES-NI is only as good as your software support for it. Had a team using an ancient version of winscp and they kept complaining about download speeds on our 10Gb circuit. Couldn't replicate it on any other machine with the newest version of winscp so I installed their exact version. AES-NI support wasn't added until like 2020 and it gave them 5x better download speed after upgrading.

  • Hover over the window in the task bar and right click on the preview. This should show the restore/minimize/maximize dialog. Click restore if it's an option then do the same and click move. You should be able to then use the arrow keys and "attach" the window to your mouse and move it to the visible area.

    Edit: the other way to get this menu depends on the application but if you select the window and hit ALT and then space it should show the restore/minimize/maximize options.

  • IANAL, but this is likely a legal gray area regarding software licenses, especially if you read the AGPL code prior to writing your library. Companies that do this sort of thing professionally have a/b teams that don't speak to each other (one reads and generates design documents, the other uses those design documents to write a new library) to prevent a lawsuit for violating licensing terms. They can claim that the developers writing the library didn't copy any code from the source library.

    As for the typedef, it's most likely considered a public definition document. I would think it would be like a public C# interface, where it's only the method declarations and expected parameters and the actual implementation is not included at all.

    If you're considering publishing this or using it commercially you should definitely consult a lawyer that specializes in copyright.

  • Since we don't know what server or VM tech you're using the advice will be pretty generic. For self hosting, you can likely get away with your ISCSI traffic sharing the LAN interface with your usual vm traffic but if you need high throughput you will want ISCSI optimized nics and turn on jumbo frames (mtu of 9000 is the standard here). This requires a switch that supports jumbo frames as well.

    For Windows, I find the ISCSI support to be very lacking. Every time I have used it I have had sporadic loss of connectivity, failure to mount on boot, and other issues. I would avoid it.

    For ESXi you can map an ISCSI lun as a datastore and create vmdks on top. This functions the same if you use actual FC luns or NFS mounts, and have had no issues with reliability. There's also RDM which is raw direct map which can mount the ISCSI lun as a disk of the vm. If you're using vSphere I would advise against this as you lose the ability to vMotion or use DRS.

  • BIOS is designed to be super low level and work the best in all situations, regardless of what that is. That means the defaults are usually designed for best overall performance rather than having all PCI lanes allocated to a single slot. Different mobos have different defaults and priorities.

    Your mobo default probably makes sure that your 8 and 4x slots or nvme actually have full lanes available, where if you allocate the full lanes for the primary slot you may only have the 8x/4x slots running in 2x/1x mode.

    It's up to you to determine if the 16x slot should have dedicated lanes. I don't remember ever having to change this on any of my machines, but I mostly run gaming mobos which probably prioritize having a dedicated GPU with full access to PCI lanes.

  • Cool. Yeah, as a professional I am constantly aware of data integrity and have most of my shit stored on redundant drives. I had a WoW Guild Officer who shared his home setup with like 8x12TB drives in Windows Storage Spaces with no redundancy that was like 80% full. I had to ask how he slept at night knowing he could lose 80TB of data at any time.

    Personally my TrueNAS has 5x1.92TB SSDs setup in two mirror vdevs and a hot spare for my ISCSI LUNs and 8x1.2TB 10K drives in a raidz2 (2 disk parity) for my NAS storage.
