Bullshit. They make expensive electric cars because thats where the money was. Here in the eu tons of people want to drive electric, but at the prices they offer in this economy, they'll only reach the wealthy.

The only reason these "c level" directors and managers are coming out and saying this is because the easy money is gone and now they really have to innovate. Which is expensive.

Thats why I specified that, for me, that was enough to switch. I agree that proton isnt there yet and 100% compatibility, and we will probably never get to that. But there are enough games on the market for me to do 90% of my gaming on Linux these days.

Do it. With proton the last argument for me to use windows is gone (gaming).

I'd advise to use headscale on a vps somewhere. Its tailscale but selfhosted.

SKA. The music I love. Is alas very dead when looking at how sparsely ska bands populate the programming at music venues and stages.

Can anyone please help me find the few gems that still tour. New and old. Preferably ones that are touring Germany, the Netherlands or Belgium.

Hey all,

I want to start using btrfs on my san/nas and use that as a backend for my nextCloud. Before I had read up on btrfs I was thinking about using RAID1. I thought RAID1 would fulfill my two requirements:

  • It would allow me to just pull out a disk and put in a usb dock and read its contents. (disaster recovery, or for my SO to just power down the server and get her data off if something happens to me).
  • It would simply Mirror the data so a single drive can fail and everything is fine.

Now I read things on the documentation of btrfs and in some other places that the RAID1 implementation of btrfs is non-standard, in that is also has some striping functionality.

The image included is from the btrfs docs and it seems it also stripes, not just mirrors, when using 4 disks.

Now my question is: What is its behaviour when using 2 disks? Will this fullfill my two requirements? If not do you have any other recommendations? (I mean i could use zfs...)

A penny for your thoughs :-).

I sort of agree in that the fruits of automation shoud be distributed through government and taxes. Its cool that things get more efficient and the world isnt a zero sum game anymore, but if everything in exess of that zero goes to only a few people things won't get better for everyone.

Hey all,

Edit: changed confusing wording based on dack's comment.

I have a problem. I'm building a SAN and I'm playing around with btrfs to learn more about how to use it.

I run into the problem where my sdd1 partition is recognized as swap filesystem. I don't understand whats going on here. I formatted all these drives through my usb-dock via my desktop. All the others are fine, so why is this one giving me problems? I tried removing it with parted amd recreating it as btrfs or ext4 doesnt seem to help.

Does anyone have any insight of why this is happening?

Hey all.

I need some advice on how to deal with the adhoc vs planned work. There are emails, tickets and verbal interruptions that need my attention. Additionally there is an incrr sing amount of meetings I need to attend. At the same time I want to focus on the development of the infrastructure for the planned work. I notice that all the interruptions are detrimental to both the planned and the adhoc work.

The fact that I have to switch my attention all the time and can't just focus starts to frustrate me. It also has to do with my adhd. I cant utilize my hyperfocus to finish the planned work, instead it stimulates the attention switching side of my adhd and cant get into the problem. I just notice I am not as effective as I was before I got this workload.

Do you people recognize this struggle? How do you deal with this?

[-] SK4nda1@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Use configuration as code. Ansible, puppet, salt, nix or something else. Debian is nice but its a diy ubuntu. You appreciate the effort cononical puts in to take away the rough edges on places. Using debian allows you to craft the OS you want from scratch, which is great! Just make sure you don't have to redo work if your system dies at some point.

Most answers you will read here will have technical reasons at its core. For a normal average user that gew up with it, windows is fine. But as soon as you get a bit more tech savvy and/or privacy minded you suddenly see a lot to be desired. Most people switch to linux because they want more control, because its structure is more technically elegant, more responsive and because they don't trust microsoft to respect their privacy.

Windows is 50GB on disk to install. An insane size for an OS. Windows often calls home without any indicaton or transparancy why. In linux you can control everything yourself. Windows is often slow or inefficient.. On windows you have only limited ways to craft and costomize your desktop experience, which in linux allows fully. And more reasons like these.

As you can see for tech savvy people linux offers the tools to take control over your computing needs, if you have or develop the skills to do so. For more mainstream grade experiences distros like Ubuntu or Pop!OS provide a great environment that allows people to ignore the more technical stuff and get on with their needs. Using linux as your daily driver will require you to leave behind some old habits and learn some new ones, but its worth it in my opinion.

I daily drive PopOS on my gaming rig and whatever distro that catches my fancy on my development homelab labtop.

Hey all,

I would like to get the above certifications. What resources did you use to study? I can't afford the official training and my employer doesn't want to pay for it.

Any and all help, and all tales of your experience is aplriciated.

Edit: new cable fixed it. The otherone wasnt crossover.

I have a problem.

I have an (Intertech 2U 2412)[https://www.inter-tech.de/productdetails-144/2U-2412_EN.html]. I have some old desktop hardware in it to build a SAN. The OS I'm running is currently Proxmox 7.

Now I have the problem i'm having is that the drives I put in the hotswap bay are not showing up in the OS. The lights on the bays light up, I can hear the disks spinning so they seem to have power.

The connection splits from SAS to 4 times SATA to a PCIE expansion card. This card is confirmed to work: If I put my bootdrive in it, the pc boots normally and the bootdrive shows up in the OS. The splitter cable could be the problem, granted, but the manual of the case specified this type of cable and I triple checked that this is correct.

When I look in /var/log I see kern.log files with loads of these messages in them. This is where things get murky for me. In my linux journey I haven't yet been this deep into the OS/kernel before. Can anyone help me debug what is happening in my system? Or at least help me understand what is happening in these logs?

They said "It's not just about open source", implying that its about both open source and about the mentality, just like you said.
