  • anyone who uses Linux on apple silicon or another arm device

  • I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

  • My impression of github since switching to Linux

    Jump

  • I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic "ThinkPad with Fedora on it" Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I've been converted.

  • Nice. Thanks 👍

  • Interesting. I've been using ".home.arpa" for a while now, since that's one of the other often used ways.

  • Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?

  • Careful mate... That foreignor wants your memes!

  • cryptsetup hanging?

  • Isn't it quite common to have /boot on an unencrypted partition?

  • GNU Coreutils 9.5 Can Yield 10~20% Throughput Boost For cp, mv & cat Commands

    Jump

  • Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.

  • Another successful OpenBSD setup

    Jump

  • Yeah. I've no need to change to anything else. pf/OPNsense 4life.

  • FUSE Passthrough Mode Merged For Linux 6.9

    Jump

  • How would the update affect stuff like a GoCryptFS volume which I mount and use periodically but not all the time? Would those files be processed much faster than previously?

  • Follow-up: OpenBSD routers on AliExpress mini PCs

    Jump

  • That's how I've got mine set up, with OPNsense.

    I've been using it a few years and I only know about half the stuff that pfSense/OPNsense can do. So I would advise newbies to just make small changes at a time because there's a whole lot of stuff you can change. It's worth learning, though. I wouldn't use anything else for my main firewall/router nowadays.

  • PfSense and OPNsense are both killer router "out of the box" distros built on BSD. I say this as a Linux user, with little interest in running BSD for my applications, but... Respect to BSD. ✊

  • Software vs Hardware RAID

    Jump

  • ZFS kicks arse. It's worth learning enough to get a basic array going, with a couple of datasets and encryption. Once you get acquainted with that, you'll be using it for years to come.
