  • good replacement options power efficiency and affordable "large" storage?

    Jump

  • Perhaps my recent NAS/home server build can serve as a bit of an inspiration for you:

    • AMD Ryzen 8500G (8 cores, much more powerful than your two CPUs, with iGPU)
    • Standard B650 mainboard, 32 GB RAM
    • 2 x used 10 TB HDDs in a ZFS pool (mainboard has 4x SATA ports)
    • Debian Bookworm with Docker containers for applications (containers should be more efficient than VMs).
    • Average power consumption of 19W. Usually cooled passively.

    I don't think it's more efficient to separate processing and storage so I'd only go for that if you want to play around with a cluster. I would also avoid SD cards as a root FS, as they tend to die early and catastrophically.

  • can't update System (Fedora 41)

    Jump

  • It sounds like Proton VPN (or its repo) is causing issues for you. Given that it's a paid service, you can probably contact their support.

    Alternatively, you can also look for the repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, something like /etc/yum.repos.d/file_name.repo, for Proton VPN. You can then disable it by renaming it to .repo.disabled and try again (sudo dnf upgrade in the terminal). Note: This is not really a permanent solution, as it will disable updates for Proton VPN.

  • Intel Linux Patch Would Report Outdated CPU Microcode As A Security Vulnerability

    Jump

  • It sounds like the criterion is "is newer microcode available". So it doesn't look like a marketing strategy to sell new CPUs.

  • How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

    Jump

  • Nice, congrats on getting it to work! :) Native Debian packages are also nice. It can just get difficult if you want the latest stuff.

  • How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

    Jump

  • I used the docker compose template from https://hub.docker.com/_/drupal and mostly changed the image:

     yaml
        
# Drupal with PostgreSQL
#
# Access via "http://localhost:8080"
#   (or "http://$(docker-machine ip):8080" if using docker-machine)
#
# During initial Drupal setup,
# Database type: PostgreSQL
# Database name: postgres
# Database username: postgres
# Database password: example
# ADVANCED OPTIONS; Database host: postgres

version: '3.1'

services:

  drupal:
    # image: drupal:10-apache
    # image: drupal:10.3.7-apache-bookworm
    # image: drupal:10.3.6-apache-bookworm
    image: drupal:11.0.5-apache-bookworm
    # image: drupal:10-php8.3-fpm-alpine
    ports:
      - 8080:80
    volumes:
      - /var/www/html/modules
      - /var/www/html/profiles
      - /var/www/html/themes
      # this takes advantage of the feature in Docker that a new anonymous
      # volume (which is what we're creating here) will be initialized with the
      # existing content of the image at the same location
      - /var/www/html/sites
    restart: always
    environment:
      PHP_MEMORY_LIMIT: "1024M"

  postgres:
    image: postgres:16
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: example
    restart: always

    The details for the v11 image are here: https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/drupal/11.0.5-apache-bookworm/images/sha256-0e41e0173b4b5d470d30e2486016e1355608ab40651549e3e146a7334f9c8f77?context=explore

  • How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

  • Yes, the docker images don't use the sury.org php packages (they use the php docker image).

  • How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

    Jump

  • "11.0.5-apache-bookworm" also seems to work, maybe you can try that version?

  • How do you do to install Drupal 11 on debian?

    Jump

  • I wanted to recommend using a Docker container but I ran into the same issue with the default config for "drupal:10-apache" (aka "drupal:10.3.7-apache-bookworm"). Opening "node/add/article" results in the OOM error. Downgrading to "drupal:10.3.6-apache-bookworm" resolved the issue. Looks like a Drupal regression to me. Maybe you can also try an older version of Drupal 11?

  • Best way to swap drives?

    Jump

  • Is there an Ubuntu variant these days that works on 32-bit?

  • Is Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    Jump

  • It's an Apple Silicon Mac Mini. Do you have a particular reason to think the new one is less efficient?

  • Is Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    Jump

  • I do think it can achieve that while waiting for network packets (see e.g. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested).

    But in terms of money savings it would rarely make sense, as you need to make it back during the time you run the system. If we assume 6 years lifetime then it would only make sense to pay $120 more. But yes, I'd also go for a system that runs regular Linux :)

  • Is Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    Jump

  • I would disagree with idle power not being important for a home server. Most of the time, your system will be doing very little and wait for something to happen. I also don't think a typical server has a display attached. Wolfang explains this quite well: https://youtu.be/Ppo6C_JhDHM?t=94&si=zyjEKNX8yA51uNSf

  • Is Mac Mini suitable for self-hosted server?

    Jump

  • I don't have a Mac Mini, but for always-on systems, the idle power consumption can become quite significant.

    • Gaming PCs can consume up to 100W (876 kWh / year).
    • My AMD B650 NAS consumes about 17W in idle (150 kWh / year).
    • A NUC / Mac Mini can idle as low as 5W (44 kWh / year).

    If you pay 0.30$/kWh, running your old 100W gaming PC all the time would cost you 263$ per year. My NAS is 45$ per year...

    It also depends on what you need/want from the machine. The Mac Mini doesn't have any HDDs and can't run a regular Linux distro, for example.

  • The CUPS Vulnerability

    Jump

  • This seems very one-sided. Sure, the disclosure was not handled perfectly. However, this post completely ignores the terrible response by the CUPS team.

    The point on NAT is certainly fair and prevented this from being a much bigger issue. Still, many affected systems were reachable from the internet.

    Lastly, the author tries to downplay the impact of an arbitrary execution vulnerabilty because app armour might prevent it from fully compromising the system. Sure, so I guess we don't need to fix any of those vulnerabilities /s.

  • Some basic questions about Linux

    Jump

  • This article is conflating terms that I need help distinguishing between. The other commenter mentioned that Ubuntu is a type of Debian but this article lists Debian and Ubuntu as distributions.

    I'd say that the article is correct in calling them separate distributions.They are certainly related (both part of the Debian family), but I think most people would consider them to be separate distributions. Software built for Ubuntu 24.04 may work on Debian 12, but it might also not. For a beginner, I think it's most useful to consider them to be separate things.

  • Anyone ever think of making a double decker subway?

    Jump

  • It sounds like a weird idea at first, but maybe it could actually work. Kind-of like running two trains on top of each other instead of after each other. I guess the downside would be the need for bespoke rolling stock and larger platforms. I think, it would generally be preferable to double the frequency or run longer trains. But it could be interesting if you've already exhausted those.

  • Anyone ever think of making a double decker subway?

    Jump

  • The main downside of double-decker train cars is the time it takes passengers to to board them. And, since this is one of the main factors limiting metro frequencies and thus capacity, they're not that suitable for subways. To maximize metro capacity, you want long trains with many doors and very high frequency.

    Double-decker cars are much more suitable for lower-frequency service (S-Bahn, regional, long-distance,...) where they're also commonly used.

    Of course, you could still use double-decker cars in a metro (and maybe some places do), it's just suboptimal.
