## Someone disassembling their Framework laptop
## Another person installing Arch onto their laptop
# Impromptu talk on mpdthe Music Player Daemon (MPD) by Freya!
## Binds to localhost by default
## mpc list Artist/Album to list content based on the ~/Music/ directory
## LUG is eating good now
### We came in with 3 mostly-dead servers that IT was begging us to upgrade
### they even gave us old handmedownhand-me-down R610's
### Then Tim came in clutch with the new servers that make up our current infra
### So long as you know how to use servers, he is willing to provide the hardware
## When Simone updates from East Hall (that has 1Gb/s on ethernetEthernet, while all other res halls only get 100Mb/s), is that saturating all of Mirrors' linkentire uplink?
### Quite possibly
### Allen said to tell him the next time Simone updates, and he will pull up the UniFi switch bandwidth page to track exactly how many Mbps are being used
##### They're missing the cage and backplane that adds the other 8
##### Probably more economical to just buy new servers at that point anyway
#### So in effect, this means if two R630's went down, that'd' would be 16/28 OSDs offline in Ceph, which would certainly cause a problem
### "And for that reason, I'm out"
#### Or more literally, it may make more sense to not go Ceph and go with a traditional storage setup
#### One dedicated storage server, exporting data via NFS or iSCSI
# Redundant Mirrors may be nice, so maintenance doesn't have to always be like at 5AM on a holiday
## But that may add more latency
## The big thing with mirrors is they're sorted by latency, so we want to make sure it's low-latency
# NCSA had to switch off Caddy for latency reasons
## It was faster to curl LUG's homepage than NCSA's homepage.... from the a NCSA server on the same rack as their website
### LUG uses Nginx for every server, that may be the difference
# There is apparently a good website to check waylandWayland protocol information (wayland.app)
# Logan is already at the point he had to draw a line in the sand with SAT2711 (Linux Fundamentals)
## Let it be known that if a student installs gentoo as their distro of choice to do their tasks on, he won't help
# Plant data recovery happenings
## Was apparently in the process of backing things up to Google Drive right when the SSD died out
## Arch installer remounts root as read-only, then proceeds to complain it's mounted read-only
# RedTeam after hours returns once again
