  • 1 single HDD? I’d recommend you RAID up some more… or at least take my recommendation on testing your backups

    RAID is not a backup solution, but an availability one. If your system doesn’t need high availability, a single HDD is acceptable if you can live with a few hours/days of downtime.

    I am saying that because the prices of any storage is insane nowadays and I want people to see that 1 HDD is good enough to get started, either for homelabbing or for learning a more professional environment.







  • I am almost 40 and have been using Linux for 3 years now and I am computer literate. However, I couldn’t tell you what exactly systemd other than vague generalities.

    I feel like there isn’t a generation of nerds, just nerds in general, that use Linux deeply and are knowledgeable about Linux low level systems.




  • it makes sense. My rationale behind putting the NAS on the MGMT and then passing disk space through mounted drives is that I can create any number of VLANs if I want, and give bits and pieces of the NAS drive through the services, without ever having to change my NAS configuration (other than creating the shares I need)

    I wanted to just add more storage space to proxmox and distribute it through the services, but considering the prices of NVMe drives, the rock5c with the sata hat was a lot more cost effective since I had 2x 2TB SSD not doing much in my computer.







  • IDE in general are not that good.

    VSCode has a lot of of expansions, enabling a developer to stay in the same environment for any language they code in.

    So if you have a multi-language setup, you can do everything in the same IDE.

    I work with embedded firmware, and let me tell you that VSCode is miles ahead from manufacturer tools.

    I personally don’t use VSCode because microcontroller manufacturer tools usually come with a repeatable easy to install environment, so I can easily handoff the projects to my clients.

    But if you ship code and don’t have to ship the environment, VSCode is a good allrounder that can do pretty much anything.

    With that said, use VSCodium instead. At least, it removes the analytics from the IDE.
