Really had my butt handed to me at work the last couple of weeks. So much going on. Time to come up for some air!
-
Just opening local lan ports for cockpit.

I tried to talk someone out of the IPOD on

But they still bought it, right?

They had everything bought before they even started the thread. They don't know how they were going to setup the networking portion yet, but they still already bought the hardware, because you know, its magically redundant.
I've made the mistake of jumping the gun and buying hardware before I knew how I was going to use it all, and ended up having to try and make lemonade out of lemons, so I cant really cast the first stone.

Trying this Skyr Icelandic yogurt for late breakfast. Its pretty good

I thought of a good analogy on the way into work this morning, about the difference between redundant compute nodes and redundant storage. In the classic IPOD scheme, the compute nodes are like cars and the the SAN is like the driver. All the value is in the driver and the car is just a means to an end. You can crash a car and replace it rather easily. In a pinch, just about any car would do. But if driver dies, there is no point to the car, so the driver is obviously the most important part of the equation. Obviously the analogy breaks down because you can't have redundant persons IRL, but you get the point.

Reading "Numerical Analysis: A Programming Approach" while doing some updates.

Or foundation and house. Storage is your foundation.

I tried and no. But I spent like an hour on it.

We use NextCloud for that.
