Does it count if i used to work in IT?
I still work in IT but I used to too.
In my youth I worked at a 24 hour gas station/restaurant for 2 weeks. It was robbed twice (not while i was there) and someone hit and ran and smashed up my car all in 2 weeks. But i did get unlimited coffee, pop and donuts (after 6pm) so overall I'd give it a 3/5.
Ladder logic?

Checks to see what serverless services are running on?

They would most likely still have to disable secure boot.

- The order doesnt matter as long as they are the same drives, you dont have a usb dock or raid card in front of them (ie sata/sas/nvme only)and you have enough of them to rebuild the array. Ideally all of them but in a dire situation you can rebuild based on 2 out of 3 of a Raid Z1
- You can do that, you shouldn't but you can. I've done something similar before in a nasty recovery situation and it worked but don't do it unless you have no other option. I highly recommend just downloading the config file from your current truenas box and importing it into a fresh install on a proper drive on your new machine.
- Sort of already mentioned it but you can take your drives, plug them into your new machine. Install a fresh Truenas scale and then just import the config file from your current setup and you should be off to the races. Your main gotcha is if the pool is encrypted. If you lose access to the key you are donezo forever. If not, the import has always been pretty straightforward and ive never had any issues with it.
- Lots of people virtualize truenas and lots of people virtualize firewalls too. To me, the ungodly amount of stupid edge cases, especially with consumer hardware that break hardware passthrough on disks (which truenas/zfs needs to work properly) is never worth it.
That would lower the barrier to entry significantly. It doesn't address the issues with the bios but someone mildly adventurous would have a much easier time going forward.
I think something like that would have to be sponsored by and maintained by a big distro though. I'm afraid if it was a community effort the amount of bikeshedding would stop it before it even began.
Linux pre installed is the only way for most people to use it I'm afraid.
Fedora does btrfs snapshots on boot also, which is such a great feature that I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't copied it for Windows.
This is definitely the case. And by the time someone is willing to experiment with their PC its so old that the experience with Linux is hampered by the older hardware.
Definitely. I can genuinely say that the autotiling in PopOS completely changed my workflow for the better.
Absolutely. If Linux was pre installed that's what people would use. Its the switching to Linux from something else that proves so complicated.
Mostly just so they know which boot device to pick.
Admittedly that's probably not necessary or the least of someone's issues.
God i wish. And most everyone here could install a new operating system in about 20 minutes. But nobody else is going to because the learning curve for a regular user to install an os is basically perpendicular. Even if they had a linux installer already on a flash drive.
Oh just boot into the bios and find the option to boot for a flash drive and then boom installed.
Which requires a user to know, What a bios is
What booting means
What boot options mean
What the model of their flash drive is
What button on their keyboard they need to press to get to the bios
What secure boot is
Where they need to go to turn off secure boot
How and where to back up their important files
What a disk partition is
How to reverse the changes made to the bios so that it doesn't boot to usb by default.
And that's assuming they know why they want a different OS, why they care and that they know about Linux in the first place.
Most people dont and never will. All you can do is install Linux for the ones you like the most and say a prayer to your favorite deity for the rest.
Larry David would have benefited from this chair.
The only retirement plan for me is to move somewhere where it doesn't get cold in the winter and be homeless. So far that's what I can afford.
I actually run mine in a 12 year old castoff Thinkpad. 4 GB ram total. More than enough to run it because I run a DNS server, a dashboard and a speedtest server on the same machine.
Local repair shop wants $229 to replace it. Better then the 569 Motorola wanted to fix it. Right to repair for the win.
I think you accidentally put a hex on me. Just this morning I dropped my phone and smashed the front display :(
I don't have YouTube Pro or whatever its called now and when I listen to music on my Google home it plays an ad after ever song. Since I have switched to Pihole and blocked googles DNS servers the only ads I get are to buy premium YouTube which I assume are hardcoded into something somewhere.
We better be careful, with Googles track record they will be getting rid of YouTube soon and rolling it into whatever they are calling their Skype clone nowadays.
