Having a rack is a massive QOL improvement IMO, I originally had a stack of rackmount servers in an IKEA Lack (LackRack), and it was okay, but the rack is so much nicer.
The only thing I wish I had done was get an enclosed rack to help with noise and dust, rather than just a startech 4 post from Amazon.
And that's a lot of awesome stuff for free!
Ohh that’s exciting!
Any big hardware plans with the new house? Planning on running ethernet/fiber to the rooms?
Not many changes in my lab this month, other than figuring out that the lemmy issues were related to liveness checks timing out due to the required DB migration on startup that Lemmy implements.
In hindsight, this makes a lot of sense.
Odd, is that federation issue on my end?
Just because it’s not public facing doesn’t mean that it’s not an issue. It might be less of an issue, but it is still a massive vulnerability.
All it takes is one misconfiguration or other vulnerable system to use this as a jumping off point to burrow into other systems. Especially if this system has elevated access to sensitive locations within your network.
Your best bet is going to be a 4U chassis. You can get 2U chassis with consumer PSUs, but they are going to be more expensive and very limited in terms of parts that will work. You can easily find 4U chassis that support regular ATX internals with proper mounting holes for the PSU and mobo standoffs.
There are some small SuperMicro servers that use Xeon-D (I think? Very low power Xeons that are passively cooled), but you're pretty vendor locked in with those.
Do not use external drives for this. TrueNAS doesn't support it, and you'll be limiting your speeds to that of the USB bus, which is not nearly as fast. Pointless going SSDs if you are using external drives.
… how the hell have I never heard of this?
I don't think it's worth the devs' time to implement e2ee for DMs, there are lot of other things that need to be fixed first. Not only that, but if it's implemented in Lemmy, it'd make Lemmy non-interoperable to DM users from other federated platforms such as Mastodon or KBin. Which, I'm not sure works right now, but in theory would be possible.
Also, yes, that is generally the case.
I highly doubt it will, there are many much better solutions available, and as it says when DM’ing someone, you can you Matrix for e2ee. In fact, there is even an option in the profile settings to provide your Matrix username.
Implanting e2ee within DMs is massive scope creep and also really difficult to do properly.
The general rule is basically “never implement your own encryption/security, just use what’s already been implemented by people who actually know encryption/security”.
I’m pretty sure it is
That seems really resource heavy. 4 Gb of RAM for an SMTP relay?
Other than that it looks pretty great.
