First impression, really cool but will only work till Apple notices
Android users clearly want modern features
3 days after release, it all came to a halt
Apple's FUD statement
Beeper mini enabled security for non Apple users
Apple's response reduces security and privacy
Apple's response protects the iMessage lock-in effect
Issue with other "encrypted apps"
Focus of Beeper
Beeper cloud uses its own cloud server
Give beeper mini a review
Beeper blog post

37:45 vHost Hardware

What is a vHost
What does Steve consider
- network
- drives
- RAM
- CPU
Lots of compute nodes vs a few large nodes
Stage 1 - is it viable
- $1k-50k quotes
- Started with 2 vdevs with 3 drives
Stay under 85%
Stage 2 Scale up
DELL EMC POWEREDGE R7425
- 8 BAY LFF SERVER
- 2x AMD EPYC 7451
- H330 3 PCI RISER RPS
DELL PowerEdge R6525
- 1U Server
- 2 x AMD EPYC 7542 2.9Ghz CPU
- 256 GB No HDD
Can save a lot buying used
Local vs Central storage
Data centralized
qcow2 on vHost
- 2 vdevs
- 2 disks per vdev
Dell EMC KTN-STL3 drive shelf
- 15 disks in 2U
- Requires LSI SAS9200-8e
NetApp DS4246
- 24 disks in 4U
- Requires LSI SAS9200-8e
- QSFP SFF-8436 Mini SAS SFF-8088 Cable
Don't store Nextcloud data on OS qcow2 disk
There will always be a single point of failure
Change ZFS settings based on data being stored
Easiest way to get a vHost up and running
KVM vs "appliance OS"
Bridging vs MAC vTap
RAM is likely your biggest constraint
Ubuntu libvirt doc

Episode 365: Ask Noah Show 365 | Data Migration Success!

Noah J. Chelliah — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 20:00:00 -0600

This week Steve goes through his data migration story at his house. What things should you consider before moving large datasets around, and what things need to be taken into account for a solid backup plan?

-- During The Show --

01:52 Home Automation Leak Detection - Jeremy

You can't really
Using cameras

08:06 mmWave sensor update/comparison

Seedstudio mmWave Sensor
Space for other sensors
Way better than a PIR sensor
Aqara Water Sensor

11:19 Point of sale gear? - Charlie

13:28 Succession Planning - David

Password dump
Bitwarden
Network diagram with pictures
Good documentation
Techy friends
Dave Ramsey - Legacy box
Legacy Folder
Data, external drives

23:23 Odoo for Accounting and Bookkeeping - Tiny

Looks like a solid platform
Expensive
Self hosting not really an option
Accounting solid but very basic
- no payroll
Not fully open source

25:51 Backups? - Mike

Copying the file MIGHT be ok
- if file system has bit rot protection
- works till it doesn't
Better to use database tools
External drives
3.5 StarTech Enclosure
Pelican 1120 Case
2.5 Cable Matters Enclosure
Steve's M.2 Enclosure
ASUS ROG M.2 Enclosure

41:11 Nativefier

Makes native Linux app out of web pages
Saves credentials and session
Mind Drip One
Nativefier GUI GitHub

45:44 Data Migration

Good to rotate drives
Disk burn in (bunch of rsync)
Rsync 26 hours
rsync will preserve hard links with the right flags
software raid is more portable
nuke & pave
2 vdevs, 3 drives per vdev
- can only loose one drive
ZFS send/receive is much faster and better
IDrive
Kopia
Spider Oak One
Plan for your target
rsync commands

a: Archive mode, which preserves permissions, ownership, and timestamps.
v: Verbose mode, which prints out detailed information about the transfer.
H: Preserve hard links.
P: Preserve permissions.

Dumping a database is intensive
Proxmox
- gets in the way
- doesn't gain Steve anything
- Special snowflake
- Custom UI
- Good for multi node
- No updates
KVM works the same everywhere
Cockpit
- GUI
- Will eventually replace virtmanager

Ask Noah Show 360 | Net Neutrality with Senator Kevin Cramer

Noah J. Chelliah — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 20:00:00 -0500

This week Senator Kevin Cramer joins The Ask Noah Show and we discuss net neutrality! It's a more complicated and nuanced issue than most people give it credit for. Our access to the internet these days is like running water.

-- During The Show --

01:50 Senator Kevin Cramer Interview

Common Carrier - treat all traffic equally
Net Neutrality - ISPs must treat all traffic equally
History
- 1934 Title 2
- 1980 Computer 2 Policy
- 2002 Cable Broadband gets an exemption
- 2005 All ISPs ARE NOT common carrier
- 2015 ISPs ARE Common Carrier (Gov Take Over)
- 2017 Ajit Pai repeals net neutrality
If the infrastructure has been subsidized by tax dollars, should that infrastructure be common carrier?
Would it make more sense for this to be under the FTC rather than the FCC?
What would you say to people who only have one good choice for internet?
Ma Bell Sweet Heart deal
Chevron doctrine
Openness principles
- throttling
- blocking
- price discrimination
Blocking World of War Craft
ISP deals with apartment complexes to block other providers
Digital divide
Universal Service Funds
ISPs are independent businesses
What stops companies from putting smaller players in the "slow lane"
Bot Question - Also, aren't the ISP's notorious for promising expanding broadband in the past, but they deem arbitrary numbers as "enough" for consumers, yet countries like Sweden & South Korea are thriving with broadband putting the US to shame.
What impact if any do you believe net neutrality would have on ISP competition?
Do you think the Communications Act needs a complete overhaul to bring it in line with today's technology?
Should the federal or state government step in to break up local monopolies that are not serving their customers well?

42:00 Expand pfSense VLAN? - John

PFSense "automatic fix"
Subnet masking
check for a /24
reboot networking devices

47:38 Virtual pfSense? - Rhett

This works!
Steve did this for years
VHost goes down, internet goes down

49:26 Thoughts on Emergency Alerts - Chris

Third party service
Gov Regulated Service
There is no other option

Episode 325: Ask Noah Show 325 - EndlessOS with Matt Dalio

Noah J. Chelliah — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 20:00:00 -0600

Matt is on a mission to teach 21st Century skills like coding, design, digital art and management. This involves three pillars: First, Endless Studios is a youth game making studio that teaches the skills of Silicon Valley through the power of games. Teens love games. They lean into that. The second two pillars are about ensuring that everyone can have it. Device affordability and internet access prevent billions of people from being equal citizens of the world. Endless is harnessing the power of clever financing and storage to solve these problems. The Endless dream is one in which the whole world is empowered. In which every kid is a creator.

KDenlive's First Fundraiser

KDE.org
HEADLINE: The Kdenlive Funderaiser is Live!

https://kdenlive.org/en/fund/

> Today we break ground. Today we launch the first of what will be many fundraisers for specific projects. Our goal is to get funds directly into the hands of the people who make the software.

> The fundraiser starting today is very different. For the first time KDE is running a fundraiser for a specific project: today we have the ambitious goal of raising 15,000€ for the Kdenlive team. The funds will be given to contributors to help Kdenlive take the next step in the development of KDE's advanced, free and open video-editing application. For the record, on the cards for upcoming releases are nested timelines, a new effects panel, and improving the overall performance of Kdenlive, making it faster, more responsive, and even more fun to work with.

Plasma 5.26 Beta - Bigscreen View

https://liliputing.com/kde-plasma-5-26-beta-introduces-a-bigscreen-view-for-linux-apps-on-your-tv/

> The new view has a 10-foot user interface, meaning everything is easily visible from your couch. And it’s designed to be easy to navigate using a remote control.

> There are also a few applications optimized for large-screen displays including the Aura Browser, which is a web browser Plasma Bigscreen and the Plank Player for audio and video files.

> Plasma Bigscreen is built on top of Plasma Shell using the Qt toolkit, KWin window manager, and Wayland compositor. It also implements features from the Kirigami UI Framework, uses libCEC to handle remote control and HDMI functions, and comes with the open source Mycroft voice assistant pre-installed by default.

> You don’t need a particularly powerful computer to get started with Plasma Bigscreen though. There are KDE Neon, postmarketOS, and Manjaro ARM images with the Bigscreen user interface available for a number of devices including low-power single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi 4, ODroid N2, Radxa Zero 2, RockPro64, and Khadas VIM line of devices.

> Just keep in mind that Plasma 5.26 is still consider beta software, and the Bigscreen UI is still pretty new. So don’t be surprised to find some rough edges.

Off-gridders take energy needs into their own hands

> "We see no shortage of natural disasters in our area," says Mr Mooney, mentioning storms and wildfires as examples. "Whenever there's power outages in our community nearby, we're always fine," Ms Erickson adds.

> A 2,100 watt solar energy system is large enough to keep a small freezer, fridge, washing machine and laptops running, they say, adding that they hope to triple or quadruple their solar-generating capacity in the future.

> During the winter, the pair rely on a small gas generator when there is too much cloud around. They document their experiences on a YouTube channel called This Off Grid Life.

If my local ISP is providing us 10G fiber...where do I get the hardware to handle it residentally? Commodity does not seem to support beyond 2.5G WAN when I checked, TIP Link or Netgear Orbi routers are costing $300-$400.
PFSense/OPNSense + 10 Gbps NIC
Netgate 7100 1U ($1199)

23:50 JJ Asks

There seems to be many anecdotal stories of how tech has improved health and saved people's lives. Especially with Apple Watches. Seems beneficial for those who want to have a little nudge for a healthier lifestyle. When does a product's benefits outweigh Open Source yearnings? PineTime is still a work in progress and seems a little too experimental for some.
Pragmatism out of laziness vs out of necessity

28:53 Rusty Asks

hello, I'm looking for an android app + nextcloud app combo, that will allow me to drop pins on a map, preferably with a photo, of Points of interest. Would like to use during hiking to mark potential camp spots. I'd like to be able to share this with my wife without sending a gpx file after each trip (hence the desire to utilize my nextcloud instance). If nothing for nextcloud, I'd still be open to other suggestions. Thanks!

The guy with MoCA adapters that fail... He has to be sure that any splitters along the way are compatible (will pass the right frequencies). Also, if the cable is connected to CATV, he may need an in-line filter that will prevent his in-house MoCA signalling from propagating up the line to the cable company or the neighbors if the neighborhood infrastructure is old enough.

Episode 231: Networking Part 2 with Steve Ovens

Noah J. Chelliah — Tue, 11 May 2021 20:00:00 -0500

In this episode Steve joins us again to discuss networking. Building on the knowledge from our last episode we dig further into ipv6 and other network technology!

-- During The Show --

01:00 - VLAN question - Scott

Management VLan is for admin not printers etc
Set the switch to only allow access on the management VLan
Use firewall rules to allow or deny cross VLan access

08:10 - Replace Unify with TP Link Omada? - Charlie

Checking it out, will get back to you

09:00 - Just FYI problem accessing Wireguard tutorial - Paul

New Wireguard Tutorial

09:30 - What Router Should I buy? - Nik

Netgate SG-1100

12:15 IPv4

Broadcast traffic - sends a packet to everyone, not forwarded by routers
Broadcast Domain - Any computer that can hear a broadcast packet
ARP Table - Table that matches switch port to mac address
Computers also keep ARP Tables - Including Host Name, MAC Address, IP Address
Rebooting a switch will cause it to rebuild the ARP Table
Private IP Addresses - IPv4 Addresses set aside for internal networks
RFC 1918
NAT - Network Address Translation - Public IP <-> Private IP
[IP Chicken](ipchicken.com)
Router typically hands out DNS Server+IP Address+Hostname

30:00 IPv6

IPv6 packet types
- Anycast
- Multicast
- Link-Local
IPv6 Anycast - Send out a packet to an IP address, expecting multiple devices to have the same IP Address but only the closest responds
IPv6 Multicast - Tries to only hit intended IP addresses
Link-Local - Automatically assigned, non route-able, Required for IPv6
Unique-Local - Private or Public route-able IP address
Host bit of IPv6 identifies your device across networks

41:50 Reading IPv6

First hextet = IANA Assigned prefix
Second hextet = Your Geographical region
Third hextet = Your ISP
Fourth hextet = Your Network
Leading zeros can be omitted

This IP:

FE80:0ED1:0098:000A:0000:0000:0AED

Can be expressed like this:

FE80:ED1:98:A::AED
IPv6 Loopback address
::0

48:00 Getting an address

Computer sends an icmpv6 packet called a Router Solicitation
