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.
BTW, since I work mostly in #VR using #Immersed, that is one of the first things I tested, and I got to say, their work to support multiple virtual monitors with #Wayland+#Gnome has really paid off, it works flawlessly in Debian! I need to test it in Fedora in the next few days. Can't wait for my #Visor to arrive. #WorkInVR#Immersenary
I'm still switching to #Debian as my primary OS and keep #Windows as a VM for some work applications, but it's good to see that MS is trying to make this controversial feature a bit more secure.
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.
@jhx Thanks. I have some older stuff here also which I use for #freebsd also. Jails to the rescue. Only Bhyve bites me every time booting so a separate debian box would be better.
