Since Microsoft seems to not care about the #Privacy impact that the #Copilot+ #Recall feature has, I am going back to #Linux as my daily driver. All my #Homelab servers run on Debian or its derivatives, work servers run RedHat or Windows, but I have not used a Desktop Linux for quite a while as a daily driver. I've been playing with Debian 12 with Gnome for the past few days, and next I'll be playing with Fedora, which I have not used since the early 2000's. We'll see how fast I can catch up.
8 days later the #homelab has some 22T temp disks running my 55T of "stuff" while the 15 8T's get a full scan. Once that's done the zfs pool will be re-created with better parity and a hot spare.
Thank goodness for ddrescue tho. Thought I lost it all there for a few days.

It took me a few tries to get into the boot manager of the Minix Z100-0dB, but now Debian is installed.
And the first impression is great! Everything already feels very fast. Worlds better than with my Rock64 NAS. But I can only say more once I've run a few benchmarks and finished setting up my NAS.
Current #HomeLab status: I‘m making progress very slowly. The server is assembled and up and running Proxmox 8. Yesterday I‘ve build a custom NixOS installiert that has my SSH key pre-loaded. That way I can boot a VM and set it up using nix-anywhere. Tonight I‘m planning to try this out the first time. #proxmox#NixOS#linux#SysAdmin
SSD harddrive appears to have died on my home network's RPi 4 DNS server and for some stupid reason not a single device automatically started using the secondary. Whats the point in a secondary if nothing bloody uses it!
The family was not amused at the downtime. Made much harder to diagnose by the RPi being headless.
If anyone has advice on recovering a BTRFS superblock from an LVM I'd appreciate it.

I've been playing it loosey goosey with backups on my #HomeLab lately. Durnik, my original Portainer workhorse, gets all the love and has very specific backup routines per application hosted.
My new ProxMox powerhouse, Belgarath, is going the lazy admin route - I just backup the the entire server as an image daily. Thinking it's time to revisit and setup similar per VM / app backups.
Do you know when you have hung on to a mobile phone for too long? When you get a quote to sell it and the phone is worth $2 USD. Sleep well Pixel2. I'll find something for you to do in the #homelab.
Yesterday i replaced a SSD in one of my home servers. The amount of dust was terrible. A very thin and consistent layer of dust in all the insides. What tips can you share to attenuate dust inside our boxes? #homelab#homeserver
For quite a while now, I have relied on terminal into my Windows Subsystem for Linux on my main workstation, as my daily driver. While it works all right for most cases, there are certain compatibility issues that requires a "... in WSL" search term for documentations/issues.
Close to a month now I have been using a #Ubuntu#terminal only VM on my #homelab#Proxmox cluster. For ones who can roll this out, this seems the best approach.
Upgraded the homelab’s 10gb switch to the UniFi EnterpriseXG. Not only do I have more 10gb ports now, I also have far fewer SFP+ modules in use, and the switches are all matchy matchy.
Also, I swear the whole rig has less latency now. I can’t prove it, but it sure feels snappier.
