Depends if you want to assign IP addresses or not. If you don’t, you just want your own section of the same lan, I.e.all your devices connected to your router but let dhcp pass through then you can just set itnup as an extender

What if you aren’t flexible? I never couch, I just say in use Linux for my workflow, can you accommodate that?

I ask before I take the interview. Location, salary range, linux laptop are prerequisites to me working for anyone. If they punt on the laptop question it means no and they are hoping you’ll want the job even without. I can promise you I won’t, and if you view that as a red flag I can promise I don’t want to work there so I don’t care.

If its a hard requirement for you just say that and say that’s for workflow and you don’t want to waste anyone’s time

I was already full Linux, but gnome is the reason I stopped messing with window managers and maybe large 4k monitors.

It finally hit enough of ‘just works’ and customizability to use my standard workflow.

The only thing I want that I don’t have right now is horizontal monitor splits for vertical monitors.

You need an OS app to run and a setting in the BIOS. The app at the OS level gives a heartbeat to the watchdog module on the mother board. If you miss some heartbeats, the firmware on the motherboard sends the reset command.

No, this is a tool that can be used in a well designed architecture. Would I do this with a single database server, probably not. Would I ever run a single database server? Also probably not.

Also, by this point, you’ve probably already kernel panicked or something. There’s not much left that can be saved and you probably needed that backup five minutes before the host came up.

Check if your motherboard has a watchdog function. If the OS can’t ping the watchdog every 5 min or whatever you set it to, the board resets.

Myrecommendations is probably to host a next cloud instance. Does all the standard ‘cloud stuff’. File, contact, calendar sync, plus a bunch if other stuff if you want to add it via plugins. If you’re patient, and a single use you can host it on basically anything. If you decide you want to add users or have a faster site, you can go down the route of sorting out faster hardware or better specs and suck.

Not in an enterprise setting, so patato potato

Third best enterprise OS.

So they can read your code and use it for copilot

As a note, when you can’t find a package, go find the source, you can usually build and install in a couple commands. Its nice to use the package management of the distro, but most of the time, you could just install the deps and compile and be done with it.

To be fair, every part of it is a small binary that generally does a single thing. You don’t have to run them all or even install them but they bring a lot of necessary functionality around base host bootstrapping that everyone used to write in shell for every distro.

I find it nice as an operators of multiple infrastructures to be able to log into a Linux system and have all the hosts bootstrapped in a relatively similar fashion with common tools.

Sysv kinda sucked because everyone had to do it all themselves. Then we got sysv, openrc, upstart and then systems and there was a while there where you never knew what you’d get if you logged into a box. And oh look, I gotta remember 10 different config file locations and syntaxes to assign an IP. Different syntaxes to start a daemon. Do I need to install a supervisor or does that come with the init.

People are doing a lot of really cool stuff with Linux OSs assigning IP addresses in 10 different ways or starting programs was never one of them.

Its also not that systemd has a monopoly, there are other init systems out there, but all the big distros, RH, Debian, ubuntu, arch . . . all came to the same decision that it was the best available init and adopted it. There are other options and any one of those projects is big enough to maintain its own init, but no one really finds the value in dedicating reaources, so they haven’t.

I hear it’s completely ready but they only built an ipv6 stack so as soon as everything finishes the quick migration to ipv6 we can all switch to it.

Yes, WebDAV will max your local connection. Its generally not the encryption that makes ssh slow but the fact that it is designed to give real time terminal feedback. In order for you to see each letter typed in an ssh session, the buffers are really small and it intentionally sends a tone of small packets. Great for single characters bad for large file transfer.

Its OK here and then when you need to push a config file or something but moving large files is not really what its designed for and consequently, it sucks.

Well, for starters, tftp is the wrong thing for local file transfers if you want it to be fast. The only reason its still around is because its simple and offer the only file transfer protocol that is built into the firmware of the network card.

You read that right, its a simple file transfer protocol built into every network card made in the last couple decades.

Your best bet for file transfer is probably something like a WebDAV server. Which next cloud can handle for you. You can just enable normal WebDAV on something like httpd but then you gotta handle authentication yourself. (Or allow local and connect with VPN)

Its all I’m leaving my kids

Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.

This is crazy to me because a refurb unit is tested every time.

The don’t test every device off the line, but when someone hands them a watch and says,’ I broke this’. They actually go through a whole test suite to validate that it’s been fixed and works properly.

Huh, idk? I was on the waiting lost for like 90 days or so and then no cost. Maybe they just didn’t have enough beta testers?
