I feel like hardware raid is relic from the pre multi core CPU days, given that was less than 20 years ago it makes me feel old

Can confirm that moving a zfs array to a new system after a failure is simply connect the disks and zpool import -f <pool_name>

Every raid card I use now is put in hba mode it’s just simpler to deal with

Did you know K-9 mail is soon to be thunderbird mobile

I went through this at the beginning of the year, it get 900/900 fibre, settled on openwrt running on a nanopi r4s. My other options were a nanopi r6s with openwrt, or nuc type hardware/server running something like pfsence/opnsence etc. The openwrt install took about 5mins then a couple of hours of exploring various menus options etc, which I didnt end up changing.

The r4s doesn’t have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I’m not too concerned about failure, I’m hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

Storage wise I’m using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I’m glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install

I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

Don’t think of it as an installation, it’s writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I’ve got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅

Why do you need 60TB of Linux Isos? Or do you mean “Linux Isos ;)”

Rothschilds are diamonds and other crap,

It’s the Australian Rupert Murdoch

Although him and a Lord Rothschild have been involved in some fuckery with oil in Israel

I think the correct answer is some billionaire

I’ve been down this road, java Minecraft is fine, bedrock Minecraft is not. Most people and cross platform play Minecraft use the bedrock version. It’s literally Microsoft saying FU linux

I’ll counter the other comments. It’s not any more difficult to maintain than any other service. What is a pain is the spam, and as I run it for a business the users. The biggest problem I have is other mail servers been incorrectly configured for SPF, DKIM and dmarc , usually it’s things like external billing platforms that have been integrated incorrectly by customers and suppliers. Spam is now starting to come though with all the proper headers for SPF and DKIM

My wife hates been called “luv” mainly old dudes that think they are been nice, so she calls them luv back. Maybe someone needs to be greated every morning with with a nice big smile and a good morning flower.

Also if the getting left on your own for a smoke break when busy happens, just go for a smoke break with her, or be on your phone and say something like “I don’t know where Sarah went she just disappeared, oh wait I’ve found her outside having a smoke break, do you want me to tell her to come back inside”

As it’s a uni job it’s now your mission to wind her up as much as possible, don’t worry about bad references or CV gaps if anything goes wrong.

Also look up constructive dismissal

New Folder (5)(copy) in a directory called TO SORT.

It all depends on how paranoid you feel. If the device has a hardcoded IP addresses changing the DNS won’t do anything. The only way to block that is by using a firewall external to your device and blocking it that way. You can get malware/backdoors in all the places you mention, and even built in to usb cables as well.

In the end the question becomes who can you actually trust, and how sensitive is your data. At some point you have to trust someone and potentially give any some form of data/information, otherwise you are just living in a bubble with no access to anything.

Personally I don’t believe anyone is interested in my data/info for anything other than selling adverts towards me, and potentially trying to steal money via scams, fraud etc.

I run a pixel 6a, some people will tell me that Google has all my data, and they are right, however I know what they have and can be pretty certain that I’m not going to have random crap and potential malware on the CPU or chip on the board, and it also receives regular updates.

Any app you run the phone (unless root enabled) will have to run on top of whatever rom you have installed, and is ultimately controlled by the Rom. It probably isn’t but again depends on level paranoia and trust you have. The paranoid route would be to build your own version of android from source on something like a fairphone.

Are they actually called Important Folder (ABC), it might be truncating the name at the spaces, and giving the same folder name 3 times, Try Important_folder_a etc.

Not from the US, but I believe it’s to do with child protection laws, Google says it’s COPPA. Generally a service has to put in extra protections, such as prevent direct messaging, not tracking kids, not personal info. Basically all the bad shit that social media does, they can’t do to kids and most importantly have to actively monitor and restrict. That why most apps and stuff ask for date of birth or if you are over 13 or whatever

Exactly all programs should be web based cloud subscription only. We don’t want that filthy code on our rgb nvme drives

Have you had a look at PCI exhaust fans and cable ties as cheaper version of this https://akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&amp;model=AK-CC7401BP01

I did this without the zip ties, kind of wedge it between the motherboard and the power cables.
