If you can have the VPS in a state where the network is disconnected, and you can poke around via some sort of management interface, that's fine, but I'd just nuke it. Compromised is compromised.

[QUOTE=PredGD;51435709]Already rebooted the VPS twice, the data sent spikes straight back up as soon as nginx is started.[/QUOTE] If its with us (Afterburst) shoot us a ticket and we'll see if we see anything abnormal Edit: just read further up, doesn't look like it's with us. If you have a serial console or vnc via host node, you can block all outbound traffic using iptables / other firewall and peek around while traffic's blocked. First points of call should be your access and error logs.

No more password auth and brand new keys. Slightly off topic, but do you guys have any plans of adding any cheaper VPS' to Afterburst? A 512MB option would be really nice. Not too happy with my current provider in terms of support so wouldn't mind switching. 1GB is a little too overpowered for my needs tho.

Fedora 25 finally brings Wayland by default but we're still waiting for Btrfs

[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;51450912]Fedora 25 finally brings Wayland by default but we're still waiting for Btrfs[/QUOTE] What's missing with btrfs? There's certain features missing but it's pretty darn usable if you mean by default, btrfs really shouldn't be default tbh.

What I mean was that it's a bit of a complex powerful thing to make default, and it does add some overhead too IIRC for certain operations. ext4 pretty much just werks. It's like how despite having ZFS, a lot of FreeBSD users will still use old UFS.

It's like how despite having ZFS, a lot of FreeBSD users will still use old UFS.[/QUOTE] EXT4 still got it for good ol' harddrives, but as soon as we're talking flash memory of any sort, then BTRFS has some tricks up its sleeve. It doesn't currently support having a swapfile on it though. (does F2FS do that?) Also ZFS rightfully shines when you're using the "I can't believe it's not RAID 5/6" RAIDz feature, along with snapshots and SSD cache. But if you don't give a fuck about those, then yeah, ZFS adds some unneeded overhead.

If btrfs is still anything like it was in 2013 then XFS has to be hands down the best filesystem, especially if you're doing full disk encryption. Dunno how it is now but when I used full disk encryption on btrfs back then, it was an unresponsive mess that got stuck in disk thrashing loops regularly. So far XFS has treated me well on both single drives and LVM clusters, just don't plan on shrinking anything.

It's biggest problems now beyond that, are the RAID 5&6 equivalent being beyond buggy and that having a swapfile on a BTRFS partition only ends in tears.

My server is running btrfs raid 1 and the monthly scrub always finds some errors to correct. I find that simultaneously reassuring and unnerving. Also one month it found 1 uncorrectable error and the next month it found zero. I don't know what that means.

[QUOTE=IpHa;51458210]Have you tested your RAM lately?[/QUOTE] Or ensured your data cables ain't cheap shit & power connectors ain't loose. Because that's the two things that's caused similar problems for me.

Switched from using windows to debian for the last 2 months and jesus, i don't know if i could ever go back. Aside from using windows to play games, this shit beats the hell out of windows.

Anyone knows if NVIDIA 340.xx drivers will ever have KMS? I'd like to see the magical world of Wayland.

Converting some cue sheets with split2flac but for some reason it's not copying the cover image. My bash is a bit rusty but I don't see any reason why it can't find the files. [code]eval "for i in ${COPYMASKS}; do \ test -r/\"${SDIR}/\$i\" && \ cp -r \"${SDIR}/\$i\" \"\${OUT}/\"; done" --------------------- COPYMASKS = [Cc]overs \*.log \*.txt \*.jpg \*.cbr SDIR = . OUT = /path/that/exists[/code] [URL="https://github.com/ftrvxmtrx/split2flac/blob/master/split2flac#L658"]Full code[/URL]. [code]cp: cannot stat ‘./[Cc]overs’: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘./*.log’: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘./*.txt’: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘./*.jpg’: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘./*.cbr’: No such file or directory[/code] However the folder does contain both a log and a jpg: [code]$ ls ./*.jpg ./Cover.jpg $ ls ./*.log ./「Downloader」.log[/code] Is it not expanding the * and searching for a file with a literal asterisk in it? [editline]misery and sadness[/editline] Yeah seems it was using a literal asterisk. Hard coded the files to copy instead. I assume it worked for other people otherwise it wouldn't still be in there so no idea what's up with that.

[QUOTE=Satane;51505234]Maybe it worked but it didn't solve my problem. I want to mount smb shares through nautilus. Works fine if I mount it manually or through fstab. But when I do it through nautilus it works for a while but eventually gives "missing argument" error and the whole share stops working even if I unmount and remount it.[/QUOTE] I never had any luck with file-managers handling SMB shares, but Gigolo did the trick for me. Although originally made for XFCE it works with others.

[QUOTE=IpHa;51510782][code]9.78G resilvered, 100.06% done[/code] ZFS made me some new data when replacing a device =P[/QUOTE] Better than losing data.

I really wish BTRFS had working RAID5 support; that would solve all my storage dilemmas. I'm planning on getting 3x4TB hard drives to further enable my data hording, but I'm not sure how I want them set up. I've been using btrfs for years and rely on its snapshots and dedup for backups so staying with btrfs would be easiest... by maybe there's something better?

Has anyone here ever used Linux Malware Detect? I read about it recently and downloaded it because I found it really interesting and thought I'd try it. But before installing it, I decided to upload the tarball to VirusTotal, and this is what I got.

[QUOTE=PulseFrog;51513782]I'm using Linux Mint.[/QUOTE] Oh, okay, nevermind. I did a little research and it does appear that basically no distro packages it, and you're instead supposed to just use the tarball. And then a cronjob updates it. Alright carry on I suppose. You can get it from github if you really want to as well.

I would install ClamAV and call it a day rather than using some tarball from some site.
