What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server?
The files will probably be NFS, SMB, or something similar. I have a FreeIPA domain throughout my entire network and this will probably serve as where I put my backups along with whatever other stuff I want. As I intend to expand the cluster, would HBA mode on the H730 be good enough and let ZFS handle it from there?
i wonder if you can do a waterfall init where you can have an entry point that defines what services to run next. then you services can continue to pass on the next to run, or if it encounters one with a service that isn't running, it looks at what services that one requires and traverses up to start the root unstarted service. Easy way to define dependencies without much hassle. The former case handles system services, the latter handles application services.
I haven't personally done it, but I believe so based on my friend's experience. I'd read the arch wiki, they surely have a guide on it for EFI.
It's a lot easier because you don't have to play around with EFI stuff at all. Windows gets its drive and it's EFI partition, Linux gets its own pair. Et voila, much less crossover and issues.

I was about to swipe away because I have no clue what Stash is.
I'm still about to swipe away but with the knowledge I might actually use this.

Having to occasionally go back to OpenRC or Upstart systems is jarring. Systemd just does so much and does it so much better. Poettering seems like a bit of a chode but he genuinely made an incredible project. I also think that when people say systemd isn't Unix-like, they forget that systemd isn't monolithic and it's possible to use some components of it but not others. The core is all based on a standardized way to start and manage processes and services, be it for boot or usage.
It does help a lot, but when first party documentation is lacking there's sometimes not much you can do without consulting an expert. And sadly I work on my servers in the middle of the night when the FreeIPA IRC channel is dead :')
How's the init script management access? I had a friend try to switch to openrc on Arch (I know) and he had a terrible experience, most likely because it's Arch and not Arco which is designed for alternative init systems. Do you have to write and maintain your own init scripts, or is that created during installation?
Mostly the same. It's unnecessary, but I highly recommend having a separate Windows and Linux drive if you can. I've seen friends have both their Windows and Linux installs fucked up by dual booting, although my friends are idiots so ymmv. It's definitely doable and can be done safely on the same drive, but Windows doesn't like to play nice. Honestly, it should be considered anti-competitive behaviour as I don't know very many people who gave Windows permission to delete their data but it goes ahead and does so anyways.
Depending on what you need logging for, you may need to enable it in Event Viewer or manager. It's really stupid sometimes.
I'd say out of all my linux issues (and there have been a lot) that maybe 20% are not answered by RTFM. Less than 5% of those were not answered by the Arch Wiki. The remaining 15% is because I'm doing sysadmin stuff and enterprise docs can be either hard to come by, or just not complete enough (looking at your FreeIPA). I will say that certain Arch Wiki sections are worse than others and take either a bit of trial and error or are just incomplete, but that's also an opportunity to update it for the next person!
The landlord side of it is the murkiest imo. You having a military pension doesn't mean you're in the bourgeoisie, it just means you're getting paid for having given time from your life. Similarly, selling the surplus from your own agriculture doesn't place you in the class of controlling capital because you aren't using others' labor; you're creating something through your labor and when faced with having a surplus, are distributing your goods. Yes you sell them, but it's not fair to criticize you for trying to offset your costs while living under a capitalist system so long as the price isn't exorbitant.
Imo being a landlord is usually the scummiest, but if you're charging rent at a price set to maintain the buildings and ensure that your tenants still have housing, then I don't think you're exploiting anyone. Imo the more profit you take from your rental properties, the more it moves out of the grey area. It sounds however like you don't take profit or take a very minimal amount, and that you price your property so that it's self sufficient but not much more. In that case then you aren't really exploiting your tenants. Are they still being exploited? Yes, by the system that forces them to pay for housing. Do you have a hand in that exploitation purely by being their landlord? Yes, however if you aren't trying to extort them for money so they have housing, then I wouldn't say you're exploiting them more than just owning their housing. Theres a reason that leftists tout that theres no ethical consumption under capitalism; even in trying to help people or do the right thing, you are still feeding into a system of exploitation and extortion. That doesn't mean you still aren't trying to do the right thing or be genuinely helpful, it just means that unless we find an alternative system then we will all continue to exploit each other and be exploited. This is why the proletariat must be unified as otherwise, we will never shake the binds of our collective oppression.
You shouldn't need to filter high quality tea, it should speak for itself. A little leaves at the bottom are just snacks. if you prefer it filtered thats fine, just totally unnecessary. Really the limiting factor is actually water quality, but there are people experimenting with water recipes to make the best tea. And they usually share their recipes and the majority of the minerals are widely available and it's just a lot of distilled water. The equipment is what's most expensive, but a cheap gaiwan or even a small bowl and you're good to go.
Especially when you get good tea from quality suppliers, it's excellent. I'm part of a tea club and get sent boxes of tea from a specific vendor i really like. Some of the tea is probably more than a year old, but I'd just as happily tear open the bag and make a delicious pot of tea. high quality tea is not as expensive as people think and it's absolutely wonderful. it is softer than coffee though and takes some time for your palate to adjust.
ETA: I pay $40 every other month and get over an ounce of loose leaf tea, carefully selected with love by the vendor. they're a small operation with direct ties to tea farms in China and source from family and friends. And if you're in the right communities, you can talk to them directly and discuss the tea with them. the world of tea is very inviting and open and you'd be surprised how cheap really good tea is, especially in bulk.
Ok but would you rather have a bag of an aged Da Hong Pao or whatever the coffee equivalent is?
I'd like to taste the coffee equivalent but that one time I splurged on some DHP was magical. So velvety and rich and nutty.
Dude, as an American it just sounds like you have an anti-everyone else hate and fear boner because you're antisocial, scared, and paranoid. The other dude is absolutely right that there are more civil and diplomatic ways that will be much more effective than not. At my girlfriend's last apartment there was a dude who lived below her her apartment who would occasionally play music really really loud. I had seen him openly carrying his pistol in the building. I went down there and knocked, and when he opened the door his gun was hip holstered and ready to be drawn. I just asked if he could turn down the music a bit as we were trying to sleep and he apologized and all was good. He turned down the music and there was no confrontation; he may like his music loud (as do I sometimes, my hearing can be bad at times) but sometimes we need a reminder to be considerate of others. You can argue we shouldn't need that reminder, but we're all human and to be human is to be fallible. At the end of the day, communication will always be the quickest way to solve a conflict or issue. It is only not an option when one or more sides refuses to cooperate in communication. But that's honestly not as common as you'd think and it doesn't help you nor anyone else if you immediately close that avenue of resolution.
Yeah I'm pre-2005 and still look back on Vine fondly. The difference I think is that Vine was genuinely kind of innocent. It didn't have a massive corporate backing until the one that killed it, and there wasn't really a way to monetize it back then. It was just a goofy place on the internet with weird, niche content that was also ubiquitous amongst the younger generations. It sadly laid the grounds for TikTok, but it needs to be remembered that Vine was killed because it wasn't monetizable, at least not back then. It's the difference between early internet and corporate internet.
You forget that the military is made up of the common person and a lot of people who see and feel first hand exactly what the government fucking them up the ass is like.
I think the idea that we need to be more efficient in consuming content is quite dystopic. I agree that not only should we be trying to reduce echo chamber, but content consumption as a whole. As a chronically online person in cybersecurity, I do not see a tenable future where humans continue to consume content at the rate they are. There needs to be a reduction in internet integration and online consumption. You're right that there's too much content for one person to reasonably sift through; the reasonable decision then is to reduce the amount of content rather than try to create a sieve. The amount of information that we try to consume on the internet is dangerous and harmful to us, and is destroying the foundations of society. I'm not some traditionalist nut or conspiracy theorist; it's just easy to see that the benefits we get from globalized information sharing are very heavily offset by the constant influx of shit. I think people should have easy and free access to information and knowledge; I also think the current hierarchy of the internet was a mistake and that the majority of people do not need and in fact should not have computers.
Also what you're asking for is an incredibly invasive AI that is used for massive data collection and aggregation to track and serve you the content that is most addictive for you. I see no reasonable world where that is a good thing. It is only a good idea in our current world, which I do not believe is reasonable.
Good to know, I appreciate the help! Do you think ZFS is a reasonable alternative to using RAID here?
