Week? I’m betting on hours.

Sonic actually has morals though.

5 node proxmox cluster (each node on 40gbps networking[yes ceph…], ~80TB of SSD storage, 180cores, ~630GB of ram total)
1 slow storage node (~400TB)
2x opnsense servers in HA
2x icx7750s
2x icx7450s

PoE to all the things… and 8gbps internet.

Usually run ~15-17amps. So about 2000 watts. It’s my baby datacenter.

Sometime this month I’ll be installing 25000kwh solar system on my roof and batteries.

As far as heat goes… It’s in the garage with an insulated door, heat pump water heater, and there’s a tripplite ac unit in the bottom of the rack. The waste air(from the a/c) exhausts outside through a direct vent in the wall. The garage is downright tolerable to me for extended periods of time. The servers don’t complain at all.

Reading about all you guys being under 200w or whatever makes me wonder if it’s worth it. Then I realize that the cost to do even a 1/4 of what I do in the cloud is more expensive than buying my solar.

Power costs for the rack is about $100-120 a month. If it wasn’t for solar.

Edit: 75 LXC containers, 22VMs.

Ya’ll have issues with logic it seems.

You know what you could have done? Shrank coal and oil combined EVEN MORE! And by your own sources production capabilities were increasing. Why would they be doing that if the goal is to get rid of it all together? There is a cost to building that production capability you know. But at this point I’m talking to brick walls. None of you can actually string together a valid reason why nuclear was killed in FAVOR of the shit polluting the air.

So capacity went up… But somehow that’s not building more? So almost like my original statement isn’t incorrect by any means then. Why so much nonsense arguments against me? Regardless of your argument. Nuclear should have been the LAST source turned off.

And? I said Coal/Oil. Notice that Natural gas is gasp Increasing!

Looking at the second image. That’s factually wrong. Natural gas generators increased in capacity while nuclear is being killed. The whole process of killing nuclear has been over time period considerably greater than apologists like you tend to look at.

But you do you. If nuclear was allowed to stay active they could have killed off ALL hard coal and some natural gas at this point.

So they turned off 30TWh of nuclear… Where they already spent all the carbon that it’s going to spend. And instead kept oil/coal running.

Can you tell me where I have it wrong? How would it not have been infinitely better to keep the nuclear going and cutting an additional 30TWh of coal/oil? Maybe they would have been on track to beat their emissions goals.

Well yeah… ya’ll dumb dumbs turned off nuclear and turned on coal/oil…

To me this is even worse though. They’re using your electricity and CPU cycles to grab the data they want which lowers their bandwidth bills.

It happening “locally” while still sending all the metadata home is just a slap in the face.

Well that’s a bit of the point of my post… why are you making it out like disabling the 2fa app matters?

Edit: Swype typos!

What a great addition to the conversation. Congratulations! You’ve still addressed nothing!

Because that shit only works in fantasy land.

Glad to know my company, and the companies I contract for are fantasy land then.

employees WILL expect support

And they will get it if they use the company default options.

Nothing about this is losing. I’m CIO for 3 separate companies (2 by contract). None of them have issues with this type of policy. We do bare minimum to not limit the toolset they can use and support a specific set of tools that we like the best. That’s it. Those who are smart enough to use their own tools clearly know enough about IT to make good decisions that we can trust. The rest use the default tools… and we support those tools explicitly.

More importantly, we’re not shitting on those who ARE making good decisions overall, but just have a preference. That makes the employees feel heard and keeps them happy. Keeping them happier keeps everyone more productive.

This is disingenuous though… You can simply reset the TOTP seed on any account to achieve the same operation. We use AuthLite on a local domain… I can disable an account domain-wide by simply resetting the TOTP seed or disabling the account. Using an Azure domain and MS app doesn’t add any value in that regards. All of the online office stuff can be linked onto a local domain as well and would also be disabled.

I’m pushing to make us exclusive because I’m sick of the IT support guys trying to support a dozen apps.

While I understand this… Why not just refuse to support and NOT remove the capability for all those who don’t need support and work just fine with their own? It’s not like TOTP isn’t a solved problem at this point.

Eg. “we only support MS auth, If you choose to use your own you will not receive any company support.”

Not sure I understand what the faraday cage would accomplish. It’s the companies device. You’d be skipping this presumption outlined earlier in the thread

they are entitled and expected to track it as much as my work laptop or any other company equipment.

Leaving the work phone at work is a valid answer to me. Assuming that doesn’t actually come with any other downsides (working offsite and having to return to the office on unpaid time just to drop off the phone for example).

Or I brought up a point that you didn’t consider, and rather than addressing it you need to resort to low level ad hominem. You contradicted yourself. Either explain the contradiction or move on. There’s no point in this comment unless you’re attempting to discredit me without reason which just makes you look bad.

Your point is illogical.

You stated

they are entitled and expected to track it

Just to turn around and back-peddle

If I don’t want them tracking me I just turn it off

Are they entitled to it or not? If they’re entitled, then why do you have a right to cut it off? I’d argue they have no right to it to track me off hours at all… regardless of the device used. u2f tokens like yubikey would be just as sufficient for 2fa with none of the tracking.

The point is that the phone will be tracking 24/7 regardless of your actual availability.

If you own the domain you can disable the crawler on it. And remove previous scrapes.
