This weeks stupidity… I made a mini 5u HomeLab for my HomeAssistant and PiHole boxes that sit inside an Ikea storage crate.

Includes a Pi5 16GB, Pi 3b+, Pi Zero W2 and a Pimoroni Badger for stats.

Oops! The MXP01 (Italy) peer had some fuck ups, followed by some insane traffic f*ckups at 3AM & 6AM on the other instances.

Rule Nr. 1: Even changing a single character can result in f*ckups. Always test!

Another account :D

While we believe #Accessibility should be a key component of any project from the outset, one of the advantages of open source is that those with the knowledge are able to contribute to projects to help address shortcomings. @wireshark is "The world's most popular #network protocol analyzer", and a fellow #OpenSource project. Do we know any #A11y coders with an interest in #Networking willing to give them a hand with accessibility?

Below the fast food section you'll find a very pessimistic-looking chart of #sysadmin and #network salary data:

"[...] a trend we’d overlooked: Over the past two years, network and systems administrators had been hammered just as hard as computer programmers."

We just assured permaculture teacher Karen Noon - https://permaculture-network.eu/permaculturist/karen-noon #permaculture #assurance #network #community - Let us know if you are interested in the process.

Hello #IT. Are there any #network people who could give advice for a problem I am dealing with at work?

We do have a couple of hardware devices (switches and others) with a serial / management port. Because we are barely onsite and if so only with some inconveniences and are looking for something like a "serial port switch".

Is there a device where you can connect 16 or more devices and connect to the switch via TCP/IP? Like a KVM switch?

Thanks for any advice.

The Australian National University in #Canberra is advertising a position for a Data Lead to help deliver #FAIR #metadata and #data from their Australian #Plant #Phenotyping #Network node. They grow (mainly crop) plants under controlled conditions, measuring #environment and imaging the plants, then process the imagery to derive #trait data to support research. Data from all stages needs to be organised for long-term reuse and interoperability.

Have an opportunity to run some fibre cable to the homelab in our external garage when we dig a trench for something else. I’ll be running Cat6 also. Cable run will be about 25m.

Don’t really know where to start with fibre. Any recommendations of cable and where to source from in the UK?

If I duplicate a Raspberry Pi SD card and then boot up a second Pi on the same network it should try and fail to get the same DHCP address and then get a new DHCP address, right?

What about if I've allocated a specific IP address to it at the router? (Would that be based on the MAC address, which would differ between them?)
