Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.

Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

  • Proxmox Backup Server network traffic

    Jump

  • Hmmm - interesting. I hadn't bothered to check before now, but I'm seeing something similar on one of the two PBS CTs I run.

    Comparing the output of netstat -lantop on both CTs, I can see that the one with more outbound traffic has more waiting connections from localhost on port 82, the port Proxmox Backup Servers provides its API over:

     
        
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:51562         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (40.38/0/0)
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:56342         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (29.92/0/0)
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:44864         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (58.94/0/0)
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:45028         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (11.88/0/0)
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:44026         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (48.66/0/0)

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:56374         127.0.0.1:82            TIME_WAIT   -                    timewait (30.98/0/0)

    I'm wondering if the graph is pulling aggregated network data, including the loopback interface. If so, and it's all just port 82 stuff on 127.0.0.1, then it's probably nothing to worry about.

    Edit: found this forum post that seems to indicate it's aggregating all the byte values from /proc/dev/net, so this is probably nothing to worry about if your netstat output, like mine, only shows API conections to/from 127.0.0.1 on port 82.

  • How do Americans win their country back?

    Jump

  • Seriously - the whole thing is such a befuddling mess to us non-Americans.

    How exactly can one win the popular vote but not the actual election? From the outside, the reporting I've seen always talks about the faithless elector problem (not in those words - just in describing the problems). Is it more to do with how many votes (electors) each state gets, based on population size?

  • I believe the states responsible for those silly outcomes have since passed laws to prevent it happening again.

    Could be wrong, but I listened to a podcast last week with an American professor who's pretty much written the book, explaining the history of the Electoral College and how it really works. I'm sure he said those states since fixed those loopholes.

    Either way, the damage is done today. Another four years of stupidity in charge.

  • What are you getting your significant other for Christmas?

    Jump

  • Maybe a small piece of personalised luggage for the holiday. Does she wear makeup? Maybe a nice makeup case with her initials on it.

    If that's not her thing, what about something for your home (assuming you live together)? My wife and I tend to buy ourselves the "bigger" things for Christmas, as our gift to each other - some furniture we've been wanting, or similar.

    If that doesn't sounds like you guys, there's the tried and true jewelry option. Or maybe just cruise Etsy for the sorts of things she likes (does she like knick knacks, or ornamental stuff?) that might be customisable.

    Failing that, have a think about what makes you special as a couple. Is there a shared interest or experience that got you together or you always talk about? Is there something in that?

    Finally, I've been holding on to some ideas for future inspiration should I need them:

    • Waveform art: record yourself saying you love her, have the waveform turned into a print, or a piece of jewelry, or similar
    • Anamorphic art: a skewed picture that reveals itself when a specifically shaped mirror is put behind it
    • A glass lamp base filled with something meaningful: I always thought of filling one with origami love hearts
    • Ambigrams: maybe you can figure out an ambigram with both your names, and have it made into something - a print or a wood carving (this will probably take a lot longer than the time you have before Christmas)
    • Birth stones, star signs, birth flowers, birth fruit: admittedly these are probably better suited to birthdays

  • Least-Intrusive Social Media Platforms; Reddit and Snapchat Leads The Way.

    Jump

  • Jesus - they don't even name the report so interested people can search for it. Lame.

    Also, least-intrusive doesn't mean most-trustworthy. Just don't use any of them or, if you do, be sure to take all steps at your disposal to not give any personal information to them.

  • Ah, no worries mate. Almost got excited for a minute there.

  • The last time you were wearing a hat, what type was it?

    Jump

  • This old thing - a Barmah Squashy hate, made from Kangaroo leather. I clearly don't regularly treat it with leather conditioner like they tell you to.

    This hat is my constant companion whenever I go camping. We're literally tomorrow leaving for a three week trip through the Outback, so it's about to get a lot of use.

  • Amazon CEO wants his staff back in the office full time • The Register

    Jump

  • Well, that’s probably because he’s hit the cap on base salary. After a certain point in Amazon, the majority of your income at Amazon is derived from shares.

    That said, after the signing shares are yours after the first 4-5 years, you’re down to the yearly grants they hand out, which come the year after they were granted, in quarterly amounts.

    Also, if your brother is high up, he probably got more shares this year than usual, as Amazon announced that only certain levels and below were getting salary increases. Higher up only got shares.

  • How are they retaining staff?

    They retain them for the 4-5 years it takes for signing cash and signing stock units to all run out, at which point many people start to get itchy feet.

  • Yeah - they call it URA, for "unregretted attrition". Tell me that doesn't sound like a shitty way to manage your people.

  • You know, at some point, you gotta assume they'll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent they have access to, and shit like this will prevent them finding new talent. Until some exec "invents" WFH as a perk...

  • Awesome. Literally about to leave for a three week caravan trip. This will make a nice addition to the playlist for those relaxing arvos around the campfire.

  • People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

    Jump

  • A lot less VCDs and MP3s downloaded from FTP servers and BBSes.

    Not sure if I’d bring it back, but I sure do miss the fun of playing Quake against my mates on public servers.

  • An artist says Nerf’s Destiny 2 hand cannon is a ripoff of their work

    Jump

  • Hoping someone more in the know can explain this to me. Could commissioning an art piece feasibly mean you've paid for that art to be yours? Are there types of contracts available when commissioning art pieces where, conceivably, the person commissioning the piece gets the rights to use it for other things?

    I'm not across the legal and ethical aspects of commissioning art pieces, and neither the article or the DA post gives any additional detail. Just wondering if the "Josh" who the artist named in their DeviantArt post be someone who was involved in the Nerf gun somehow...
