💾 Rebooting Petabyte Control Node 💾
am rebooting one of the control nodes for a petabyte+ storage array, after 504 days of system uptime..
watching kernel log_level 6 debug info scroll by on the SoL terminal via iDrac..
logs scrolling, the array of SAS3 DE3-24C double-redundant SFF linked Oracle/Sun drive enclosures spin-up and begin talking to multipathd...
waiting for Zpool cache file import..
waiting.. 131 / 132 drives online across all enclosures.. hmm.. what's this now...
> transport_port_remove: removed: sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620)
well ffs 😒
> 12:0:10:0: SATA: handle(0x0017), sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620), phy(32),
oh, that's a SATA drive on the system's local enclosure bay for scratch data, it's not part of the ZFS pool.. 😌
next step, not today, move control nodes to a higher performance + lower wattage pair of FreeBSD servers 💗

I remember when I started messing around with Linux, it all seemed so hard and Arch Linux was the big bad bogeyman.
Now, years later, I use Arch Linux as my daily driver, and I am starting to learn FreeBSD. Curiously, I don't find FreeBSD to be as intimidating as Arch Linux seemed to be wayback then. However, it is a beast I want to tame. I am getting my ass kicked at every twist and turn. 🤣

I wanted this to be about #rust and #ratatui development. Hopefully I've achieved that.
So far, this is fun! It's not usable yet, but hopefully the screenshot gives you an idea.

Supply Chain Attacks on Linux Distributions – Fedora Pagure

💻 Hello Old Friend, Talos II 💻
This was my first IBM POWER9 system, acquired in 2020 and built for home/desk use. Dual socket SMT4 Sforza, 144 threads, 256-512GB RAM, various storage/net/accelerators over the years. [1]
As expected, I fell in love and acquired four IBM Power System L922-2U [2], which are presently in the colo awaiting network rebuild (remote hands this time).
The Talos II has served a variety of purposes, with most of its time running FreeBSD PPC64le (&a bit of PPC64be for fun). Sometimes also Linux, back when I was tearing into qemu code for compiler optimization hypothesis testing, RTX GPU passthrough, +validating assumptions about qemu on P9/le handling amd64 & arm64 emulation.
So, out of storage! Into the rack! New user accounts! But first it needs updated OS drives (the 3x 64GB SATADOM in Raid-Z1 need to be repurposed), and a NIC (25G-DP CX-5 or X710-DA4).

There's something therapeutic about configuring a system to be just the way you want it to be. You feel in total control of your computer. Some software feel like if your boss sat you down at a previous employee's desk with piles of stuff on it and told you "You can use whatever you want here, but keep it organized in the exact same way".
When there are UEFI entries missing for your Linux operating system, you can add them easily with efibootmgr:
As root: efibootmgr -c -d <disk> -p <efi-partition> -L <entry-name> -l <loader-path>
For example: efibootmgr -c -d /dev/nvme0n1 -p 1 -L "debian" -l "\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi"
It will use /dev/nvme0n1p1 and on it the file /boot/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi and add it to the UEFI boot menu. On next restart, the entry should be there.
NOTE: You have to replace "/" with "\" for the loader path.

UPDATE: I haven't seen Recall in action there. I was just asking the doctor how they'll deal with it.
This morning, I went to the doctor for a scheduled appointment. While she was looking at the results of blood tests from two years ago on the screen (and suggested repeating them for a follow-up), I realized she was using Windows 11. A detail came to mind. The doctor is extremely polite and friendly, so I asked her, "How do you handle the feature called Recall?" The doctor was taken aback and had no idea what I was talking about. I was about to drop the conversation, but she, being a serious professional, immediately called the technicians who manage their PCs to ask for clarification. They downplayed it, saying it's not an issue and that it's a feature "on all PCs, so we can't do anything about it." She started to express that she didn’t like it and wanted it deactivated. No luck: they won’t proceed because, according to them, even deactivating it is "a hack that could compromise future updates." She’s furious and will talk to her colleagues and the decision-makers. She wants secure systems because "there’s patient data involved."
In reality, patient data is stored on servers (which I haven't investigated), but everything that appears on the screen is, in my opinion, at risk.
I’ve offered to help them find a solution—because, if I'm right, all they need is LibreOffice and a browser. In that case, I’ll suggest one of the *BSD or Linux systems and do it for free.
I don’t want to make money off my doctor. I just want patient data to be (sufficiently) secure.

And don't forget that many Free software programs have Windows versions too, so you can test before you leap.
Good luck!
