My earlier post for ProxMox 8.2.2 Cluster on Dell Wyse 3040s mentioned the tight constraints of the cluster both with RAM and DISK space. There are some extra steps involved in keeping a very lean Proxmox 8 cluster running on these extremely resource limited boxes. I am running Proxmox 8.2 and Ceph Reef on them which leaves them slightly under resourced as a default. So when the Ceph would not start up the Ceph Monitors after my upgrade from Proxmox 8.2.2 to 8.2.4, I had to dig a bit to find the problem.
Ceph Monitor will not start up if there is not at least 5% free disk space on the root partition. My root volumes were sitting right at 95% used. So our story begins…
Google Docs uses a URL based clipboard method to copy/cut and paste images and other media. That happens to works great between Google Docs but it completely fails when I try to take images from Google Docs to my Jekyll Posts when I need an actual image file. This is a small things but took some digging to figure it out for both Windows and MacOS.
I have been using the Dell Wyse 3040 as awesome little systems for my Tailscale nodes in my multiple joint homelab networks. These systems are super low power consuming and physically small enough to just plug and go. Truly, deploying a WireGuard®-based VPN solution could not be any easier. I have four of these units connecting my homelab networks across three geographically diverse locations.
This is an out of place post but I figured if setting up Touch ID with sudo
on my MacBook Pro stumped me that it would cause others issues and worth a quick write up. Also worth having around when I get a new MacBook Pro in the future.
So to start, I use a MacBook Pro M2 Pro for my daily driver machine at work. It is the closest I can get to a Linux machine in the office. I end up using sudo
frequently enough that I liked the idea of Touch ID rather than type a password in a dialog. I encountered a couple of hiccups along the way with tmux
, iTerm2 and DisplayLink that had to be fixed.
