Cadmus 🌲<p>It feels bizarre seeing news articles about the work I perform. I led this process this time around, my first time as a Coordinator rather than a Team Lead. It was one of the most complex and political damage assessments, probably due to the current climates. </p><p>The article does get one thing wrong. Harney County had a lot of flood damages to homes, but Douglas County had more infrastructure impacts, about $8-12 million from the events versus Harney's $1.5-$2m.</p><p>Now we wait and see if the Feds will fund this recovery for an area that voted 90% for this Administration.

Stefano Marinelli<p>In 2021, I sent an email saying that, given the situation, I would not be able to keep your machines running with the current infrastructure. You replied that the funds are allocated "for migration to a cloud-based solution," so the machines must be kept running as they are. I strongly suggest you reconsider: your connections are unstable and slow, it would be impossible to work (via Remote Desktop, Windows servers) in such conditions - from over 30 thin clients. You responded that the budget is now allocated for this, and that the consultant assured you everything would be perfect. </p><p>The migration will never happen – after spending tens of thousands of euros – due to "lack of connection quality." </p><p>I "forgive" you.</p><p>At the beginning of 2023, I wrote to you that there are two critical issues that will soon compromise the security and reliability of the machines. You replied that you are "working on the plan for migration to a centralized solution in one of your locations." I responded that the connectivity is inadequate, that that location has data center flooding issues (it should at least be moved to an upper floor), and that, in case of problems, all your 9 locations would be down because of it. Therefore, given the situation, it would be better to keep a server and a replica at each site, with offsite backups, ensuring they are current and consistent. </p><p>Minimal financial investment, maximum uptime. </p><p>You replied that "the defined path is now set, so we are proceeding with it" because a "consultant has guaranteed maximum reliability." </p><p>I withdrew, predicting disasters and for the same reason: they present themselves elegantly, with glossy catalogs and buzzwords – they sure seem credible and modern! </p><p>Go ahead, it’s your money and your data.</p><p>This morning at 5:30, you woke up me because your location had electrical issues, and the other branches are facing external connectivity problems due to the (same) Internet provider (and the backup, which uses the same channels as the primary provider, unlike what the vendors had promised). </p><p>A downtime of at least 3 days is expected. </p><p>Everything is down. You want me to take the backups (made by others, I don't even know how), and restore the old servers in the branches (from 2015), as you believe it would be possible to resume work only this way – as suggested by the "elegant consultant."</p><p>I replied that I wish you good luck and went back to sleep with a clear conscience.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DisasterRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisasterRecovery</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OwnYourData</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KISS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KISS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KeepItSimpleAndStupid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KeepItSimpleAndStupid</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NewWeekNewTroubles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewWeekNewTroubles</span></a></p>
Stefano Marinelli<p>This morning, a (non-critical) FreeBSD VPS went down. The provider mentioned a "problem that would be resolved as quickly as possible," without providing an ETA. </p><p>I immediately took another VPS and, thanks to zfs-send and zfs-receive, replicated the zroot/bastille from the last backup. I set a maximum time limit of one hour. In 5 minutes, plus a few more minutes for the copy, I already had the replacement ready.</p><p>58 minutes later, the original VPS was back online. I discarded the restored one. I was almost disappointed at that point, I almost hoped to put the other one online instead 😆 </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DisasterRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisasterRecovery</span></a></p>

Merilee D. Karr, MD, MFA<p>The Red Cross Emergency! app is a good way to notify loved ones, local or distant, when you're in a disaster. It texts a message -- that you're safe -- to a list of people you designate. Communication channels will be saturated after a disaster; texts are more likely to get through than calls.</p><p>Encourage your loved ones to download the app and put you on their list of people to message.</p><p><a href="https://federated.press/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safety</span></a> <a href="https://federated.press/tags/DisasterRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisasterRecovery</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/mobile-apps.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">redcross.org/get-help/how-to-p</span><span class="invisible">repare-for-emergencies/mobile-apps.html</span></a></p>
