Because I love oldies. Sad it is always true.

Proxmox and replacing disk in ZFS pool

For one time this blog post will not be around Telecom and Cisco/Juniper/Nokia or something like this.

Just to keep in mind how to replace a faulty device in a ZFS pool.

I have :

root@pve:~# zpool status -x
root@pve:~#  zpool status
  pool: pve-zfs
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
        invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
        functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

But how to replace this faulty device when all the howto on the net talk about replace/make offline the old disk… But in my situation I have made an RMA on the disk and don’t have mind to make the faulty device offline.

Musical Annual French cities festival and ridiculous thoughts

For the annuary musical amateur festival in all roads and cities of France, my prefered song :

Sorry for me music stops in April 5, 1994. Perhaps I have not enough searched on jamendo or independant scene. I don’t have ever found a music with all this primitive energy I can feel with Nirvana music. Maybe life should have stopped in the 90s, it would have been better considering all the shit that we can see, live, with all these media, this escalation in the presence on social networks. What would Kurt think living in 2022? I know this post is in that movement. I only ever wrote on this rag to share my bullshit, my feelings and hacks on free systems (BSD my love come here :-)) that I have been around since 1997.

A new more act for the planet !

Event though I make some little efforts as lot of humans for the planet, I am searching for a long time a way to do more and more efficient. I hope I have found this way. I have bought Time For The Planet’s share company. The aim of it, it is found raising 1 billion euros and be able to invest in 100 companies. Ok you will tell me you have made capitallistic investment ?! No, it is where I found it awesome, these companies must and will create innovation in global warming reserach. AND these results will be publically share into Open Source fashion so that it wan be use by humanity. I am in this OpenSource manner from 1997, where I installed my first Slackware-3.3 (https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-3.3/). So I am really sensible to this way to share with others.

FreeBSD, xrdp and Lumina-desktop

Hey girls and guys,

A little post to give you some news about my fails and tries with FreeBSD. I have had tried to install a little FreeBSD-13, xrdp and Lumina-desktop on my proxmox to test.

As done for other things installed :

pkg install xrdp lumina

It was so easy and quick …

FreeBSD and fail2ban

Hey,

To go on configuring my FreeBSD server, I install my traditionnal package : “fail2ban”. By the way with Linux distro, apt install fail2ban is enough.

Not now :D

You must add :

root@pluton:/usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d# cat ssh-ipfw.local 
[ssh-ipfw]
enabled = true
filter = sshd
action = ipfw[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp]
logpath = /var/log/auth.log
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime = 3600
root@pluton:/usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d#

And edit action file so that “localhost” is your public IP :

06/06/19 - D-Day

In memory of all the soldiers who paid with their life the cost to peace and democracy in Europe. Please read these words and keep it in mind.

If I 'd been born in 1917 in Leidenstadt
On top of ruins, in a battlefield
Would I have behaved better of worse than those people
If I'd been German?
 
Born into humiliation, hatred and ignorance
Fed on dreams of revenge
Would I have been one of those unlikely beings with a conscience
Like some teardrops in the midst of a flood?
 
If I'd grown up in the docklands of Belfast
Soldier of a faith, of a class
Would I have had the strength to withstand and fight against my Own kind: to betray, to hold out a hand in friendship?
 
If I'd been born white and rich in Johannesburg
Between the power and the fear
Would I have heard the cries carried by the wind?
Nothing will be like it was before.
 
One never knows what one really has in one's guts,
Hidden behind our appearances
The soul of a brave man, an accomplice, an executioner?
The worst or the best?
Would we be one of those who resist or just those who follow like sheep
If it was a question of more than just words?
 
(Refrain)
If I 'd been born in 1917 in Leidenstadt
On top of ruins in a battlefield
Would I have behaved better of worse than those
If I'd been German?
