I think I’m missing something here - why would y’all need a storage of ISOs?
Just think of a distro & download it from like anywhere at that moment? Especially if there is a functioning PC you are about to “upgrade”. That way you don’t need to think ahead of anything & get the latest ISO.
No, ofc not, I’m not a degenerate without a plan!!
This isn’t a game.
There are 15 year olds using Lemmy??
/s (my documents folder is the same, but older … much a lot too many very older :|)
At least two of these:
~/Stuff
~/Stuffs
~/Stuffz
~/Shits
Were megacorp CEOs/biggest owners invited too?
Atm it’s running Proxmox, but I’ll go bare metal with a fresh install of Hannah Montana Linux, I want to do things proper this time!
Yeah, it’s not a hero story, no.
I totally agree - and depending on your needs & budget, slightly older server-grade equipment idle power usage is much higher compared to consumer stuff (servers didn’t really know how to idle until “recently”). And also if you don’t host a tone of different things for different users (ie you don’t need all the pcie lanes) you get so much faster CPUs for the same monies.
The only server-grade things you need are ofc disk drives that are gonna do server stuff.
And a good PSU (but a nice Seasonic is almost server-grade anyways). When ppl talk about power usage they tend to forget PSUs (they check their PC usage with a shitty PSU that itself can’t idle low & maybe doesn’t even get to 90% at peak loads).
… 100W? Isn’t that like a rally bygone era? CPUs of the past decade can idle at next to nothing (like, there isn’t much difference between an idling i7/i9 and a Pentium from the same era/family).
Or are we taking about arm? (Sry, I don’t know much about them.)
This is my rig, I already bought 20 30TB disks, how do I proceed?
I randomly separate by data packages & encode that data into the DNA of various insects & such critters that then burrow down to the tier 1 and tier 2 internets & are trained to transmit that data.
A separate group is standing by at different locations to collect the data & report back to me the results of me signing into my Google account with my full name & billing address as well as the results of by image search for “naked boobs”.
There is a bit of ping, but the bandwidth can be scaled nicely.
A post like this is a disservice to the majority everyone.
Even harmful as it promotes software that should be run only on rare hardware (eg RISC-V with all the fully hardware level open peripherals too) the extremely vast majority of users do not have any practical access to.
All with the premise on some technicality you don’t even explain (bcs then it would make it obvious, why such distros shouldn’t be used by majority).
And you don’t even mention that.
Not to mention saying that Linux distros are as bad as Windows locking you into closed code.
I mean lol. That’s is just intentionally dishonest.
It’s like claiming hydrogen gas is harmful to you in the same way as “standing” on the surface of the Sun.
This post makes me feel sad, bcs the basis you hinge on is an important PSA to spread around.
How else am I ever gonna get a decent open-hardware PC?
(And just to not be misunderstood, I love what FSF strands for and is doing all this time, it’s a beacon for the way forward - but we have to navigate to there.)
- Be & keep getting even more increasingly disproportionately rich.
As long as ppl buy it, he is motivated to produce even more excessive amounts of bullshit.
Why do you think AI is for? No single human or bovine can create such amounts of bs.
You’ll survive in the wastelands for a long time on those + you’ll be able to bean post on lemmy (to invite raiders to get ammo drops).
Penniless pennyless bastards!
Lol (but ppl do that).
At some low-failure-rate point the risks of those ‘couple of drives’ you would own don’t really mean much difference in irl probability of failure.
Def good info to avoid high-failure-rate drives tho.
Why would the “Windows license” get affected by whatever it on the disk?
Also how your sysadmins keeping the uefi unlocked?
