  • Once the dump was complete, we transferred it to the new server using rsync over SSH. With 248 GB of compressed chunks, this was significantly faster than any other transfer method:

    rsync -avz --progress /root/mydumper_backup/ root@NEW_SERVER:/root/mydumper_backup/

    that’s a bit weird. rsync -z is compression, but they did compress in the mydumper export already, so this is a slow down (or neutral at best). also in my experience rsync is as fast as scp is as fast as piping anything to the tcp port on the destination etc. rsync does not win for speed but for enabling resume so to say…

    besides this: nice read!




















  • I love it, have serial (rj45), no more need for monitor/keyboard setup in my “server room”. I have some raspberry-pi in my “family”-vlan, so i can always ssh/serial on to my proxmox. considering my secret superpower is “locking myself out from my firewall” this is really comfortable.

    I’m just running debian trixie. I really don’t like openwrt and pfsense. I deal a bit with openwrt from time to time on embedded devices, APs or the like… just incredibly complicated to configure the firewall, which comes with like 28 default policy I would not know why I need those :D

    I like the many ports. Internally I have everything over one port with plenty of VLANs, but I like my ISPs directly connected to cut out the switch and leaves my firewall as sole single point of failure. at least for internet reachability of my services.

    my current project is integrating the multi homed wan and vpn choices into my home assistant. sadly it seems to be complicated to to route specific traffic (like .*bbci?.co.uk) via specific tunnels. sni detection is broken thanks to ech. Not sure if ech is even employed by bbc (akamai/amazon/fastly), but if i try to policy-route this traffic i cant watch :-( have to set the whole device to the VPN and it works fine.
