Fucking Russians are just god damned criminals.

Traffic sent to and from Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft was briefly routed through a previously unknown Russian Internet provider Wednesday under circumstances researchers said was suspicious and intentional.

The unexplained incident involving the Internet's Border Gateway Protocol is the latest to raise troubling questions about the trust and reliability of communications sent over the global network.

Russian-controlled telecom hijacks financial services’ Internet traffic
Wednesday's event comes eight months after large chunks of network traffic belonging to MasterCard, Visa, and more than two dozen other financial services were briefly routed through a Russian government-controlled telecom, also under suspicious circumstances.

I'm surprised it took this long. Remember when Pakistan accidentally killed youtube for a few hours because they wanted to block it for the whole country so they advertised a null route?

A number of people are working on ways to incorporate blockchains into BGP to help with this

Moving Plex and stuff over to the new Ryzen box.

Very exciting stuff.

Radarr/Sonarr/Nzbget installed perfectly fine as services.

it was hilarious and a sad reminder of how fucking flaky routing can be

So apparently my Plex database had become so fragmented that it was causing Plex to crash.

Like old school disk fragmentation?

How the fuck does that happen?

You running it on DOS?

It's probably because of all of that Dragonball Z crap on there.

I'm not really sure. It had been crashing over the last couple of days randomly. I looked in the logs and saw a ton of 'waiting for database' errors. Did an export/drop/import and things seem to be fine.

RUNS IN MS ACCESS. PLEASE COMPACT AND REPAIR DATABASE.

Oh, beeteedubs @fly

I'm using Drivepool Cloud. I've got two clouded drives, one on each of my Synologies, added to the pool on the new Ryzen box.

Works like a charm.

The new ryzen box has terrible performance issues serving video files.

Sweet, fuck me.

I love troubleshooting bullshit.

Gettign some new unifi gear setup at home. Very user friendly and shiny... but i get an apple-ey feel from it. Lots of locked out features unless you pay for them, only works right with other unifi gear, etc

This is as compared to my mikrotik gear that you need to have a unix-admin level greybeard to admin.

The mesh stuff?

My ubiquity ap’s have nothing locked out.

im thinking of building an amd machine for wavelab (mastering)
think i should stick to intel?

Among other things, looks like Drivepool cloud is a bust for high bitrate video files.

+1. I've worked with USG, UniFi APs, UniFi Switches, and EdgeSwitches. Nothing locked out needing to pay for. The very slight annoyance with the UniFi line is requiring a controller somewhere (or a cloudkey) to manage the products. Absolutely no web interface on the local UniFi devices. Use the Edge products if you do not want cloud controlled devices. UBNT has a paid online cloud controller service that has some perks, but not really worth it for me or my clients.
