yeah, they're great if you want to fart iSCSI at a VMware cluster or whatever and also don't want to be allowed to set it up, janitor it, keep it up to date, install security patches, or troubleshoot it yourself

we got a bunch of purestorage along with a cluster at work. seems neat/fast, but wasn't what we ordered. asked for vast/weka/pnfs, got network block storage. thankfully bizdev rammed the deal though before anyone could object, so i guess i get to build a solution on top of purestorage now

yeah i used pure storage for yeeting iscsi at vmware and it was great

well i definitely just got trolled into looking up whether that's real or not

separately in networking news i moved the dhcp serving for the home router off of systemd-networkd just because its so goddamn barebones. specifically it doesnt retain the client ids at all, so if you check the list of leases (itself a bizarre encoded blob buried in a dbus entry) it's just got macs paired with their assigned IPs. not very useful if you want a client list that any router from the last 25 years would provide. separately and more generally, it feels like networkd specifically has fallen into the sendmail trap of adding functionality/fixes that everyone would want/need but leaving everything disabled by default.

now running isc-kea in docker with postgres backend (why not - the router has 32GB mem after all) and its working pretty good so far, modulo the isc-provided docker image lacking preinstalled tools needed for db-init - gave up automating that and just wrote down the manual steps if I ever need to do it again:

code:

$ docker run -it debian /bin/bash
# apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/isc/kea-2-5/setup.deb.sh' | bash
# apt-get install -y isc-kea-admin postgresql-client
# kea-admin db-init pgsql --name kea --host <postgres_ip> --user <user> --password
<then discard the container>

i'd like to assemble some kind of periodic sync for fetching the leases from kea-agent's http api and putting them into /etc/hosts or thereabouts so that they show up on local dns provided by adguard home. the kea-stork thing looks interesting in terms of being able to extract prom metrics but no rush on that, could also diy an exporter against kea-agent APIs pretty trivially

what's wrong with apt-get install dnsmasq and something like

this is insane

just use raw dnsmasq, or if you want a real easy prebaked solution, openwrt in a vm

According to the indictment [PDF], Aksoy began plotting the scam around August 2013, and the operation ran until at least April 2022. Aksoy used at least 19 companies and about 15 Amazon storefronts, 10 eBay ones, and direct sales—known collectively as Pro Network Entities—to sell tens of thousands of computer networking devices. He imported the products from China and Hong Kong and used fake Cisco packaging, labels, and documents to sell them as new and real. Legitimate versions of the products would've sold for over $1 billion, per the indictment.

The DOJ's announcement this week said the devices had an estimated retail value of "hundreds of millions of dollars" and that Aksoy personally received millions of dollars.

quote:

The indictment said that some fraudulent devices were real Cisco products that were "typically older, lower-model, or less expensive Cisco products, some of which had been sold or discarded" but were modified to appear newer or like a higher-grade model. Tactics included pirated software and modding the hardware with "unauthorized, low-quality, and unreliable components," including ones meant to circumnavigate methods for checking for software license compliance in order to authenticate the device.
