    For me, I have three proxmox nodes that are configured to restart VMs and LXC containers if a host goes offline. There’s a Palo Alto pa-440 for my fw/router and a brocade switch (they were something work gave me for practicing for a network exam).

    The nodes, Palo, brocade, and AT&T modem are all on two UPS 1500va systems along with my wifi ap. Run time in case of power loss is around an hour.

    I’m this close to getting a comprehensive shutdown script working from a raspberry pi that is triggered if there’s power loss (most UPS systems have some capability to trigger scripts on a host that’s connected to the UPS’s console port).

    If I can get that script working, the battery backup will run a PI for several days.

    Back on the redundancy side, I host two PowerDNS systems in the proxmox cluster along with a 3 node/LXC container Vault.

    The Main Justice touched on this after the Maduro “extraction”. Standing case law is that once you’re in the US border, you’re fair game. It doesn’t matter how you got here, only that you’re here now.

    They went on to explain how this can have some legal justification and mentioned the guy behind the Bengazi attack. In that case, there was no formal government in Libya (they were having a civil war post Gaddafi), so the US couldn’t appeal to a government for extradition. Also, there was a legitimate case of self defense - the guy did attack a consulate and could easily do it again. Lastly, the US notified the UN they were going to be taking the actions prior to extraction.

    But none of those things apply to either the Maduro or Weddings.

    I tried terraform for my three node proxmox cluster and all the providers were shit (and one was written by a for-profit prison company).

    I ended up just deploying manually, but I do heavily use ansible for things like let’s encrypt wild card cert renewal/installation and patch management.

    I love terraform when the providers are good - my #dayjob is predominantly spinning up hybrid cloud/global AWS environments and we could not do what we do without tools like Cruft, Terraform, and Ansible.
