  • Nfs, it’s good enough, and is how everyone accesses it. I’m toying with ceph or some kind of object storage, but that’s a big leap and I’m not comfortable yet

    Zfs snapshot to another machine with much less horsepower but similar storage array.

    Debian boots off like a 128gb Sata ssd or something, just something mindless that makes it more stable, I don’t want to f with Zfs root.

    My pool isn’t encrypted, don’t consider it necessary, though I’ve toyed with it in th past. Anything sensitive I keep on separate USB keys and duplicate them, and I use luks.

    I considered virtiofs, it’s not ready for what I need, it’s not meant for this use case and it causes both security and other issues. Mostly it breaks the demarcation so I can’t migrate or retarget to a different storage server cleanly.

    These are good ideas, and would work. I use zvols for most of this, in fact I think I pass through a nvme drive to freebsd for its jails.

    Docker fucks me here, the volume system is horrible. I made an lxc based system with python automation to bypass this, but it doesn’t help when everyone releases as docker.

    I have a simple boot drive for one reason: I want nothing to go wrong with booting, ever, everything after that is negotiable, but the machine absolutely has to show up.

    It has a decent ups, but as I mentioned earlier, I live in San Jose and have fucking pge , so weeks without power aren’t fucking unheard of. I’m away from home so it has to come back after the fairly regular outages. I have some leeway, but my entire infrastructure is on it, so not much.


  • Zfs on Debian on bare metal with nfs server. Edit: and it hosts the worker vms

    Vlan for services with routed subnet

    Sriov connectx4 with 1 primary vm running freebsd and basically all my major services in their own jails. Won’t go into details, but it has like 20 jails and runs almost everything. (had full vnet jails for a while which was really cool but performance wasn’t great).

    1 vm for external nginx and bind on Debian vm on isolated subnet/Vlan and dmz for exposed services

    1 vm for mailinabox on dmz subnet/Vlan

    1 Debian vm on services vlan/net for apps that don’t play well with freebsd, mostly dockers, I do not like this vm, it’s basically unclean and mostly isolated.

    Few other vms for stuff.

    It’s a Dell r730 with 2 2697(or 2698? 20c/40t each) with 512gb. Edit: v4 so broadwell

    12x16tb hgst h530s with 2 nvme drives and 2 Sata ssds, somewhere in there is a zlog and l2arc.

    Can’t figure out how to fit a decent GPU in there so currently it’s living on my dual Rome workstation, this system is due for an upgrade, thinking about swapping the workstation to a much lighter one and push the work to the server, while moving the storage to a dedicated system, but not there yet.

    Love freebsd though, don’t use it as my daily driver, tried a bit, it worked but there was just enough trouble to not make it work, but freebsd has moved on and so have i, so it’s worth a shot again.

    Decent i/O, but nothing to write home about, think it saturates the 10g but only just, I have gear for full 100g (I do a LOT of chip startups, and worked at a major networking chip firm a while) but it takes a lot more power, and i have PGE so I can’t justify it till I can seriously saturate it.

    Also I’m in process of moving to Europe, built a weak network here and linked via wire guard, but shit is expensive here and I’m not sure how to finish the move just yet, so I’m basically 50/50 including time at work in the valley.

    **But if God intended that the Negro race should be Segregated in Africa then why did He curse the children of Ham and decree that they should be the servants, or slaves, ot the other races?’’

    God did not. Canaan was the only one specifically cursed to be a ‘‘servant of servants’’ (Genesis 9:20-27). Even if we admit the possibility that all his descendants were included in the curse (the best Bible scholars disagree on this point). we must still remember that Canaan was only one of the four sons of Ham and therefore he fathered only a MINORITY of the black race. And as I said before, even that servile minority were to live in a different part of the country from the Hebrews (Genesis 10:19).

    It cannot be positively proven from the Scriptures that the Negroes were cursed to be black because of Nimrod’s rebellion or because of Ham’s sexual laxity at the time of his father Noah’s drunkenness. But there are some verses that seem to leave that implication. For example in Jeremiah 13:23 we read, ‘*Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.’’ Here the black Skin of the Negro is obviously a symbol of evil. This verse also shows that God meant for that skin to STAY BLACK and not be blended into a Thousand shades of mulatto.

    The notion that the Negroes of this country have INHERITED the “‘deep Sunburn’’ that their forefathers are said to have suffered in Africa is ridiculous. Sunburns are not inherited, no matter how deeply they penetrate, not even by the first generation, not to mention the tenth or twelfth generation.

    If we are to reject the curse of Ham and the rebellious leadership of Nimrod as explanations of why God made the‘Negro black then there is only one other possible explanation to be found anywhere in the Bible or out of it: THE GOOD LORD WAS SO ANXIOUS FOR THE HAMITES TO BE SEPARATED AND SEG- REGATED PEOPLE THAT HE MADE THEM RADICALLY DIFFERENT IN THEIR APPEARANCE FROM THE PEOPLE OF ALL OTHER RACES. He made their skin color different for for the same reason that He made their language different and for the same reason that He assigned them a different habitation… At least we would be much kinder and more charitable to our colored friends if we gave that explanation.

    The southern Bible doesn’t read like yours and mine does, they made some notes in the margins.
