Proxmox on the host. It uses a webserver for admin stuff.

No other things that run on the host ––> no other things that break on the host.

You do not keep the pool, but the data set = file system.

man zfs send

A user types at a terminal (a physical teletype). This terminal is connected through a pair of wires to a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter) on the computer.

Once I had the opportunity to sit at such a machine.

A real typewriter with real paper. And no display! Only paper.

I type my “command line” and it appears on my paper. Ok, where else…

The computer responds by letting it’s response appear - what do you think? - on my paper, too. Not by magic, but by my machine typing it.

I am typing to my paper. Then the computer is typing to my paper. And so on.

Hardly ever have I had such a creepy feeling while doing computer work 😵‍💫

What did you do?

What did you expect?

What did you observe?

It’s an old desktop PC

One (or more) of the electrolytic capacitors in your PSU has died.

Remove the power cord, wait for 2 hours, open the PSU and look carefully for the candidate(s) with the domed head. Healthy ones are perfectly flat on the head.

Order a new one and replace it.

Can I go to my public sites

I would not recommend. Remember, wherever you step, your feet are leaving traces. Your public sites may be a little too publicly well-known afterwards.

and/or VPN into my servers?

VPN’s might not work from there, or the use may be considered a crime.

In that case, your phone needs to “see” at least 4 satellites at the same time (more is even better) to get the first GPS lock, and that’s probably why you need to wait for so long.

It could help to walk to a spot with no buildings, trees etc.

Once there was an app called “GPS essentials” to help with that.

In the other reply, you said something about GPS.

Well, location services aren’t really GPS anymore.

The phone looks at all of it’s radio environment (cell and WiFi and whatnot) and from that it calculates it’s location. GPS may help a little, too, but it’s not important.

It needs Apple’s own databases to do that: collections of all antennas in the world, and their known locations.

True, somewhat… but on the iPhone, many functions that seem like basic things are tied to Apple’s services and cannot easily replaced by selfhosted services. This phone would not work properly anymore.

Yes. Firewalls.

With an iPhone, however, you are screwed. Apple won’t let you do what you are looking for.

(Heavily suppressing the many ‘why’ questions…)

Double check your power supply. Use a good power supply device. Disconnect and reconnect all the cables now. This is a frequent cause of all kinds of flashing errors.

Ubuntu Touch is optimized to reduce unnecessary background processes, making your phone last longer on a single charge.

Wait… did he just say that Ubuntu runs faster than Android on an Android phone?

You say it is mounted. Then you can share it in all the same ways as you would share any other of the VM’s folders.

I am using SMB shares for that (but that is not always the best way ofc).

recover data from unfunctioned remaining RAID disks due to RAID controller failure

In this case, you need a new RAID controller of similar type.

Can I even simply attach one of the RAID 1 disk to the desktop system

No. One disk out of a RAID array is different from a normal disk.

Recovery becomes easy if you do not use a hardware RAID controller, but a ZFS software RAID instead. It does nearly all automatically. But you need to do a little more reading tutorials for the first setup.

This is not something that needs balance.

And they have quite different kinds of petty:

When Linus gets petty, then there’s a proper rant, somebody gets red in the face (but you don’t get to see the pics), and some news interns can write headlines.

When politicians get petty, then people in foreign countries are killed.

Then they should try to free themselves from it.

And governments should wise up and exempt them from any kind of petty stuff.

It is not good for the kernel and it’s team to suddenly have to kowtow to Usamerican politics.

My wife is still on Windows on her own laptop. But for watching TV, she has been using Linux successfully with an appropriate GUI (vdr, mythtv, Kodi, Androidtv…) for 15 years or so :)

There’s a lib/tool called exiftool iirc. It can be used from the commandline.

It’s also great to live in Switzerland, but not everybody is doing it.
