How do you decide what’s for Terraform and what’s for Ansible?

Similar to others, I do this but the reverse direction. I have a Pi with HDD at a friend’s house. On a timer, it wakes up at 3am, boots to a VPN and initiates an rsync (pull) with it’s twin Pi at my place. When the sync is done, it powers down or the timer cuts power at 9am.

Other than clock drift due to power outages, I’ve had no issues.

I have a directory that i can put scripts into and the remote Pi will execute anything in this directory after the sync and before the shutdown. Logs from the rsync or scripts are pushed back to a different directory on the local Pi.

A pretty good read. I’ve made many of these mistakes myself and learned from every one of them. We spend so much time hardening our home labs from the bad guys, I wonder if we should instead focus on hardening from ourselves.

Of course, the answer is both.

This just means that it’s not about protecting citizens or vulnerable individuals. The fact that the law won’t say the true reason likely means that the real reason is unpopular or at a minimum something that nobody can get behind.

I saw something in The Oatmeal line ago about pairing abstract ideas with concrete ones. IIRC, the example was to tie Bald Eagle extinction to Twinkies (in the US, presumably) such that if bald eagles go extinct, so do Twinkies. It’d be useful to pair the right to privacy with another right, such as the right to free speech (in the US, for example). That way, if these types of laws pass, so would free speech, something that most people seem to value.

Just imagine if the roles were reversed and some reporter was hanging out in a top secret war chat on Signal with high ranking US government officials!

Perhaps I’ve been naieve.

This reminds me that I need alerts monitoring set up. ; -)
