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
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.
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.
@kiraso Haven't yet! I'm using ProxMox to backup the server daily but not PBS. I saw it as needing to take over an entire hardware device so that's why I haven't moved on it. Need to do some consolidation of my portainer instances and then I'll have a free device to configure as a backup solution.
