  • I thought about setting one up for my main server because every time the power went out I’d have to reconfigure the bios for boot order, virtualization, and a few other settings.

    I’ve since added a UPS to the mix but ultimately the fix was replacing the cmos battery lol. Had I put one of these together it would be entirely unused these days.

    It’s a neat concept and if you need remote bios access it’s great, but people usually overestimate how useful that really is.




  • I’ve never heard it referred to as CSAP before. You may want to use the commonly used Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) acronym instead. The only remotely relevant reference I’ve found for CSAP is Committee on Sexual Assault Prevention which conflicts with the usage here. Also photos aren’t the only format under that label.

    Welcome to the new mod. I don’t envy the position you all are in but have all the respect in the world for what you’re trying to do ♥️



  • That’s a valid point I hadn’t considered. Based on a cursory look at how bail bond works, if you go with a bondsman you’re out a certain amount regardless if you show up to court or not.

    So if he paid the 200k he’d get almost all of it back after court, minus whatever processing fees the court has. If he goes with the bondsman he forks over 10% and the bondsman covers the other 90%, but he would get nothing back after court. The bondsman gets the full refund and keeps it all.

    I can’t imagine the return on that would move the needle much for someone as “rich” as he is. I don’t know though, and I’ll fully admit this is pure speculation.





  • I’m assuming you installed it directly to the container vs running docker in there?

    I have been debating making the jump from docker in a VM to a container, but I’ve been maintaining Nextcloud in docker the entire time I’ve been using it and not had any issues. The interface can be a little slow at times but I’m usually not in there for long. I’m not sure it’s worth it to have to essentially rearchitect mely setup for that.

    All that aside, I also map an NFS share to my docker container that stores all my files on my NAS. This could be what causes the interface slowness I sometimes see, but last time I looked into it there wasn’t a non hacky way to mount a share to an LXC container, has that changed?




  • Yikes! I pay a couple bucks more for uncapped gigabit. I’m fortunate in that there’s two competing providers in my area that aren’t in cahoots (that I can tell.) I much prefer the more expensive one and was able to get them to match the other’s price.

    My wife has been dropping hints she wants to move to another state though and I’m low key dreading dealing with a new ISP/losing my current plan.


  • I do a separate container for each service that requires a db. It’s pretty baked into my backup strategy at this point where the script I wrote references environment variables for dumps in a way that I don’t have to update it for every new service I deploy.

    If the container name has -dbm on the end it’s MySQL, -dbp is postgres, and -dbs would be SQLite if it needed its own containers. The suffix triggers the appropriate backup command that pulls the user, password, and db name from environment variables in the container.

    I’m not too concerned about system overhead, but I’m debating doing a single container for each db type just to do it, but I also like not having a single point of failure for all my services (I even run different VMs to keep stable services from being impacted by me testing random stuff out.)
