I wouldn't make a server without kvm/ipmi funtionality. It's too comfy and has nothing to do with if you use ssh or not.

>>107623987
No. I built my NAS years before I got into home servers and use it entirely for cold storage. The (12) disks are lucky to get 10 hours a year of use and letting them (and the fans) run 24/7 would be a hell of a waste.
Knowing what I know now, rather than a jumble of 12 disks, I'd just buy 4 20TB drives a miniITX board and install it all in a 3d printed 10" rack mount case and run truenas as a VM on a forbidden router.
Right now I've got a mini PC running home assistant OS that has addons for CCTV, torrents and a 4TB SSD samba share, and that covers all my basic needs.

Answer me these questions three, and revealed it shall how much of a retard I be:
>How dumb of an idea would it be to try and cram a pair of enterprise m.2 drives (eg. Samsung PM9A3) into a 65W mini PC?
>If I go with consumer SSDs instead, and interrogating them with nvme-cli reports a physical/logical block size of '512e', then (presuming this info will not be specified in the datasheet) is there any way to check what sector size the drives are actually using- without going through the rigmarole of remaking a storage pool to test the performance of 512b vs 4kb, etc.?
>Unrelated to the above, if you have a server mobo with four memory slots that caps out at 256GB of RAM (if populated with 4x 64GB RDIMMs), but you only had enough cash to buy either 1x 64GB vs. 4x 32GB sticks, what would you do? Lock yourself in forever at 128GB, or hope RAM prices drop in future and that you'll be able to scrounge up three more of the relatively rare 2Rx4 DDR4 64GB modules you need?

linux is used in many production applications, it's evidently production-ready
>user-friendly
this is more often than not used in this context to say that "it's what i'm used to", and while it's true that more people are used to windows, that doesn't actually mean windows is more user-friendly. plenty of normal (as in not computer geeks) people have switched to distros like zorin and mint successfully. despite the usual arguments, most people don't actually need adobe photoshop or even microsoft office specifically

imo the biggest barrier to learning to use linux is knowing that you can give up at any time and go back to windows
you didn't have that choice picking up windows so you just powered through the bullshit.
make no mistake, you will need to learn new things, it's not windows. it's entirely up to you how much you want to leave windows

Check out Distrobox. You can't just use pacman unless it's configured to only install into a chroot otherwise it will fuck with your system's packages.

Which is why he said "If your card is new enough". The reason pacman is asking is because it's basically asking you to make a decision.

Here's the idea I have in mind

-When setting up computer/phone for the first time, you need internet access and digital ID + selfie to unlock. From there on you need a selfie to unlock your phone/computer every time and your face must be monitored at all times to ensure there is no identity fraud.
-Secure Boot with hard coded unchangeable keys ensuring only operating systems with compliant AI surveillance suite are allowed to run. This AI surveillance suite will monitor your screen contents in live time constantly and send screensots + snapshot of your face to authorities if it detects anything bad.
-ISPs will be required to verify your digital ID before allowing you internet access, and must store all your unencrypted traffic associated with your digital ID. VPNs will have similar requirements or will be outright banned or regulated to require licensing and special permission to run in niche approved use cases (still monitored though).

>He's going to add a borrow checker as an afterthought?
To be fair, he crated Hare because he's a C programmer who wanted C but with modern language features. He didn't prioritize memory safety while developing Hare, as the motivations for the language rested elsewhere. I agree that adding borrow checking to the language at a late stage is probably a mistake, but considering the direction of the industry, he pretty much has to make his language memory safe in order for people to want to use it for anything that is not just a hobby project.

so if a gl owie gets my drive he wont be able to boot on another mobo? my distro signs its kernel, but it uses the microsoft k eys.

yet another thread of a (((rando))) badgering you to use the lastest thing

>>107628039
that depends. if you're syncing your microsoft keys to their azure cloud, then the glowies can subpoena (or use their backdoor access) to azure to retrieve your keys. though even if you aren't syncing, if you're using bitlocker, bitlocker might have a backdoor built into its algorithm/functionality that the glowies can use, but this hasn't been proven yet, and the problem is that it's not auditable to the public.

veracrypt is open source and has been publicly audited. doesn't mean it's perfect, and it's not FIPS compliant to use if you're a glowie yourself.

if your threat surface are glowies, they will get your drive unlocked, even it comes to physical coercion. but veracrypt OR bitlocker will protect you against most other attack vectors. don't make enemies with glowies is the best advice there is. and don't do anything stupid that would put you in such a position. be a normie, abide by the law, and you'll be fine. whenever your threat surface is glowies, you've already lost. glows have infinite resources at their disposal and can do anything to you which will break you.

*) UEFI shits up the boot menu with their retarded entries. You need to fucking manually delete old entries from linux command line to clean that shit.
*) Replaces a bootloader with a shittier one. Legacy boot loader doesn't shit up the boot menu with entries.
*) It's redundant, sorry I prefer having a nice boot menu, especially if I have multiple options, for example having multiple kernel versions and a timeout.
*) Boot time doesn't matter.
**) With multiple selections you have a timeout either way.
**) You boot a system once in a fucking long time.
**) I remember times when I waited 2 mins for computer to boot. Current times are nothing in comparison.
*) Can't chain load another bootloader. Can't make an entry that will chain load windows so I have Linux and Windows from one boot menu.

It improves nothing. Adds annoying stuff. Is more complex. Adds fucking retarded partitions. Mounts a fucking efi vars. Allows for "bricking your computer" by allowing system to fuck around with firmware. I don't trust a system with updates and I DEFINITELY don't trust them with firmware updates. The firmware should be updated manually, by the conscious user that knows WHY does he want to update the firmware.
Secure Boot and TPM are anti-user features. Fortunately they are not needed even with UEFI boot. But still efi vars and firmware updates are cons for me.

>>107628039
forgot to mention there's also LUKS, but if you trust OPAL (self-encrypting drive that doesn't take a performance hit), LUKS2 supports this now (before only bitlocker did that). this was added in version 2.7 of cryptsetup in 2024.

so if you're using linux on a laptop, use LUKS2+OPAL support and you will have an encrypted device without a performnace hit.
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/cryptsetup/v2.7/v2.7.0-ReleaseNotes

still, OPAL is closed source like bitlocker, so glowies can probably get your stuff. though, as I said before, if glowies are your threat surface, you're already fucked.

The fork from February when captcha was a bit fucky has let me post in some cases when standard kurobaex told me I was rangebanned before this recent captcha update, I wonder if any of the fixes actually did something or it was just the cointoss thing people are talking about

I've basically confirmed the range ban thing to be cookie related. I was getting it with the new update after a post or two. Only way to get posting again was to use mobile data. Never got the range ban with that. Switching back though would cause me to get the error again. My IP wasn't banned though as I can post from other browsers and devices. After enough posting and waiting on mobile, eventually I stopped getting 5 image captchas and started getting 3 image ones. Now I've switched back to my wifi and it's stopped throwing up the error. Now I've been able to post just fine. We'll see how long it lasts.

The bottom bar NEEDS to return. I can't use the search, open a thread then go back to the search results to visit a different thread anymore without needing to search again. I know every other Clover derivative app users clown on the bottom bar but the current implementation just isn't it. Plenty of us liked the feature too, me included. Pic very related, I've used the app fondly since they first replaced Google captchas.

To the other anons who're getting range ban messages try this user agent

>Government needs to be the only payer, put a gun to their head, and say
>NO I'M NOT PAYING $15 FOR THE TYLENOL

That's literally what some European countries do. They set price ceilings with major pharma companies abroad for certain categories of drugs. If no pharmaceutical company wants to cater at or below those ceilings, then government gives free reign for domestic companies to reverse engineer equivalents and push them to market.
This has resulted in pharmas forming cartels where particular expensive drug category A is only produced by company A at max price, whereas expensive drug category B is only produced by company B and ne'er shall the two meet. And since they're not agreeing on a price level for the same category of product, this legally isn't cartel pricing and cannot be fixed through legal means. ... yet, anyway. Something has been brewing at the EU level for this, for the past few years.

It's because medical equipment needs to undergo a shitload of certifications to get approval to be sold as medical equipment. Just a handful of companies want to deal with that amount of retarded red tape, therefore it's just a handful of companies offering equipment like that. Therefore they don't sell at a price the equipment is worth but at a price they can get away with.

Hey bro just woke up from a long slumber. I have a serious fever and I go to sleep every time I feel tired just to ensure a speedy recovery.
I've thought about it and I think that it's utterly pointless for me to even consider a mechanical keyboard, given that all the other technologies used basically give you analog like precision and genuine reduction in the physical time it takes to activate a key.
So I'm going to get one of those. It's a bit more expensive for me in Europe with big taxes but It's a one time purchase for at least 5 years or more right?

> Every GPU innovation ever only exist because Microsoft kickstarted it through DirectX.
The GPU manufacturers have always told Microsoft what to put in DirectX, not the other way around.

Every time Microsoft tried to get GPU manufacturers on board with something, it had failed. See what happened when they tried to standardize the swizzle layout for storing textures.
