#asksysadmin — Public Fediverse posts

Suppose I want to put comments on my static sphinx site, and I want it to be sourced from the fediverse.

How difficult would this be? I would ideally like to support comment threading. I also might want to make this into a sphinx extension, such that it checks every page has a corresponding post before publishing. This would mean the URL needs to strictly define the post

I'm torn between the #mikrotik CRS326-24G-2S+RM and CRS328-24P-4S+RM.

I'm upgrading my homelab to 10g and moving most of my compute to SFP+ but I also need a new switch to replace my current unmanaged switch.

The POE switch is useful with 4 SFP+ ports but I don't really have any need for POE currently.

Does it still make sense to pay for the extra $$ for PoE and 2 extra SPF+ ports?

fwiw, I already have an existing SFP+ switch with 3 unused ports.

Okay, tell me why this is a horrible idea

I have 6x4TB HDDs, and 1x144GiB SSD

I want to take the following config:
- 5 HDDs form a #raid6 #LVM array
- 1 HDD is used either as a hot spare or normal disk (with a USB drive as hot spare)
- 1 SSD used as an LVM #cache

The bare drives will all be encrypted, so LVM on #LUKS. I will then put in 256 GiB swap, and the rest to #btrfs

On top of that I install #CoreOS

Should I reimage my desktop this weekend?

It's been a long while, and I'd love it if I was consistently using Kinoite.
