Meetups/Infra/2025-03-10

Ansible, wiki logs & scraping issues, and LTE/CBRS/network.

Introductions

• [name] - [background]. [goals for meetup, or interests to explore]

• Loren --
• Doug -- I've been obsessively thinking about why Mac M4s are so fast. GPU code still underperforming the mac platform.
• Mike -- still wroking on my servers, setting up IPMI, keeps crashing
• Wolf -- he/him, habitually self-host things, in cloud and server on a bookshelf. Thinking about business license, societal infrastructure.

• Jameson -- talking about the possibility to use Magma Core, using CBRS (Civilian Band Radio Service / ?Spectrum) -- to run our own LTE network

Lesson or Demo

• Read aloud: clarify for meetup. We are taking notes in a riseup pad (or I am--help appreciated, and links). We have meeting notes posted to the wiki. noisebridge.net, search Infra, or Meetups/Infra. (the Infrastructure page has a disambiguation link.)
• Shell, web services, self-hosting, networking!

We discussed Ansible -- a PR to noisebridge/infrastructre

A general layout of ansible repos: parameterization by variables for group and host.

Configuration files, for the tasks.

Ansible-vault -- for secrets kept in git, ready for deployment.

We discusse discussed the noisebrdige wiki downtime in the last 2 weeks, and in the last few months. Due to excessive scraping, and more recently due to disk space exhaustion, from logs or prometheus data, or uploads.

Jameson came to describe CBRS and self-hosting LTE cell service, separately the Helium network and offering access.
