Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>When I recently installed <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> 14.2 on the "new" <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkpad</span></a> T15 Gen1 for my mother, I was first excited to see the installer load <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/iwlwifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iwlwifi</span></a>. And later disappointed it's *still* restricted to 802.11g.</p><p>But configuring <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/lagg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lagg</span></a> in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/failover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>failover</span></a> mode over lan and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/wifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wifi</span></a> is an awesome feature, and as this machine will be operated almost 100% of time in a docking station connected via 1000-BaseT, its fine for now. Still hoping to see newer wifi standards supported ... I see there's work going on from bugzilla and other sources.</p>

scy<p>I need to build a highly available service on 2 bare metal servers, no cloud whatsoever.</p><p>The service will download files, process them &amp; upload them to another (third) server. If one of my servers fails, the second one should take over. It would be nice if only _one_ of them did the work at any given time, to save resources &amp; not confuse server #3.</p><p>I have some ideas, but I’m interested in yours. How would you do it? Any recommended tools?</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/HighAvailability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighAvailability</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/failover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>failover</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/redundancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redundancy</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AskFedi</span></a></p>
