I agree with this. I understand that the majority of users also don't read release notes and some don't even install add-ons, with this being enabled by default this would provide them with a more anonymous ad experience.

As a small homelabber I agree with this. I started with a baremetal and using Docker, and switched to Proxmox, and now over to Incus, actually currently I am using Debian with cockpit + cockpit-machines. I do like Incus, I keep hopping back and forth between cockpit, I need to settle on one.

Yeah, Debian has older firmware found in the firmware-amd-graphics package which doesn't include the firmware. You'll need to download it from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ I believe anything from linux-firmware-20231030 and newer should work.

20231030 tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20231030 or newest(20240410) tag: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amdgpu?h=20240410

These files need to be placed in /lib/firmware/amdgpu/

It's a relatively low performance hit and it benefits me when having to replace a failing/old disk. I can just toss the drive without having to erase the data first, that is as long as the key is a secure length.

It is very useful! It's also slightly customizable in that you can have it not save duplicate commands.

More information can be found on the Arch Wiki or the man page

~53 W

  • Server:

    • AMD Ryzen 5 5600G
    • 4x16 GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
    • 256 GB NVMe as boot-disk
    • 2x256 GB Samsung SSDs for VMs
    • 2x2 TB WD Red Plus HDDs
  • Mini PC: Beelink S12 N95

    • 16 GB DDR4
    • 256 GB NVMe
  • 8 port unmanaged TP Link switch

I would like to expand my storage, however I don't have any available SATA ports and I believe adding an HBA would increase the idle draw about 8 W. I might just upgrade the SSDs and split the storage between the HDDs and SSDs.

I recently switched from Proxmox to Debian Bookworm with Incus(LXD fork) as my primary setup, it's been a pleasant experience. I also like the idea of using something like Cockpit to manage VMs though haven't come to a need yet for a VM over a container. I'll also point out that Incus can handle VMs as well.

Stéphane Graber, Project leader of Linux Containers is also on the fediverse and responds to questions often.

That's a good recommendation, thanks!

There's even an RSS feed for that page: https://openwrt.org/feed.php?mode=list&ns=advisory

You're welcome! Also thanks for asking this question, I hadn't seen ShotShare before, it looks useful.

No, since you are using the bind mount, you do not need to use the volume.

I just did another test.

You should be able to create the directories manually. I cheated by simply cloning the repo and copying them to the bind mount location like so. You can use the bind mount method like you wanted.

git clone https://github.com/mdshack/shotshare
cp -r shotshare/storage/* /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data/
chown 82:82 -R /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-7fe66601-5ca0-4c09-bc13-a015025fe53a/Files/Shotshare/shotshare_data
 

I have recently become interested in mini PCs, but one thing that is stopping me is a feeling that bit rot could cause me to lose data.

Is bit rot something to worry about when storing data for services such as Git, or Samba. I have another PC right now that is setup with btrfs raid1 and backups locally and to the cloud, however was thinking about downsizing for the benefit of size and power usage.

I know many people use the mini PCs such as ThinkCentres, Optiplex, EliteDesks and others, I am curious if I should be worried about losing data due to bit rot, or is bit rot a really rare occurrence?

Let's say I have backups with a year of retention, wouldn't it be possible that the data becomes corrupt and that it isn't noticed until after a year? for example archived data that I don't look at often but might need in the future.
