old, stupid
i wonder if theres a goose farm in his future
if it didnt work, why would it be running the majority of the internet… among other things?
linux is prolly better than we give it credit for
well, i do try and keep all my data hot in the server… i am using the devices as redundancy, so no raid anywhere. 24Tb with 3 copies.
ive got a couple of 6-bay readynas i got second hand and a plain ol’ ubunutu workstation i crammed with 6 drives and an ssd.
app server runs off 6 local disks(and an ssd for os) which are replicated to the 2 nas as logical (they pull), the workstation gets a drive-for-drive physical
rsync is your friend.
one piece i highly recommend is running your torrent solution in a container with the network set to a gluetun container. no fuss, no muss, vpn’d torrenting.
for the nas piece, im a big fan of the nas device being single purpose. its life should only exist in fileserving. i have several redundant nas devices and then a big ol app server.
my goal is the ron popeil method of ‘set it and forget it’
windows “8” …final straw. blech
you could also just boot to a live distro and test your hardware. id recommend mint
were takin it back
mbin users can follow and be followed by all the big players… mastodon, lemmy
were not talkin about the small number of creators. its all about the audience . though i see what youre sayin… chicken and egg kind of thing… its ok, google is making it hard on them
same issue with twitter. too much momentum, not enough enshitification yet
friends dont let friends run mail servers. id recommend no on that one
yep, im using cinnamon… its based off of gnome but is its own thing. i thought i read something about the mint guys wanting to control bigger portions for stability hence their curated app store and desktops.
ive been using kodi with mint for oh maybe 5 years now. i cant even remember the last time kodi crashed.
kodi is the only thing i do not run in a container though… had some video driver issues
i remember when you could get disks from netflix… 7 at a time! i would turn them around same day. it really helped fill out my movie collection
oh wow, not in a long time…well over a decade…almost 2! i gave up on live tv around then
im usin kodi/jellyfin (plex is proprietary) mostly for the ‘pseudotv’ plugin… so i can have a cable-like system from my local storage
with everything being web-based, windows is slowly turning into a fancy dummy term/thinclient. exactly the control businesses want.
linux on the other hand is being fleshed out as a true desktop pc with all the customization most of us expect of a daily driver.
hell they could have called it anything… seems like they couldnt get past their egos to see the value in a new designation
oh look, its the same time as that stopped clock.
the link light is powered by the switch. it doesnt [necessarily] mean data transfer
