The only label on the map that’s both on Latin and in old German.

I can see it going both ways. Talking about execution times, this would be an exaggeration, but then, these memes always are.

I think those fairies are called “black market organ dealers”.

I don’t get it.

und ich hab nichts gesagt.

MacOS is basically a different world.

Last part is highly topical again…

Also, almost all of that is written in C, which is a successor to B, which is a simplified version of the Basic Combined Programming Language. There was never an A.

Top Left – More or less the default position, sensible enough, if a bit naive. Nothing wrong with this.

Top Right – Having knowledge is a good thing, and so is making decisions based on sound risk-benefit analysis.

Bottom Right – Well, at least it’s an informed decision. Just don’t try to pass off the risk on someone else if it backfires.

Bottom Left – Oooouuuuh, you don’t want to be in this quadrant, trust me…

The way I, as another European, understand this, he’s flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.

Several years ago now. On at least two of those tries, after maybe a month or some of daily driving, suddenly the fs goes totally unresponsive and because it’s the entire system, could only reboot. FS is corrupted and won’t recover. There is no fsck. There is no recovery. Total data loss.

Could you narrow it down to just how long ago? BTRFS took a very long time to stabilise, so that could possibly make a difference here. Also, do you remember if you were using any special features, especially RAID, and if RAID, which level?

Out of interest, since I’ve not used the “recommended partion setup” for any install for a while now, is ext4 still the default on most distros?

I recently installed Nobara Linux on an additional drive, because after 20 years, I wanted to give Linux gaming another shot (works a lot better than I had hopes for, btw), and it defaulted to btrfs. I’ll assume so does Fedora, because I cannot imagine Nobara changed that part over the Fedora base for gaming purposes.

Well passwordless.

Same thing in this context. But sure, an encrypted partition would work.

Dunno about ideal, but it should work.

It does have quite a bit of overhead, meaning it’s not the fastest out there, but as long as it’s fast enough to serve the media you need, that shouldn’t matter.

Also, you need to either mount it manually on the command line whenever you need it or be comfortable with leaving your SSH private key in your media server unencrypted. Since you are already concerned with needing to encrypt file share access even in the local network, the latter might not be a good option to you.

The good part about it is, as long as you can ssh from your media server to your NAS, this should just work with no additional setup needed.

Interesting. Though it does seem to to require your private key to be unencrypted…

Is sshfs an option? Unfortunately, I don’t think you can put that into /etc/fstab, though…

This is on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, so well within the 5 year window. I’m complaining because I kept getting frantic calls from people using that who didn’t know what was going on.

That would be all absolutely fine and dandy if I could easily just opt out in a way that makes the system stop bothering me about it. But I can’t.

Pro tier is for Enterprise customers who need extra-long term support and are willing to pay for it. Canonical is meeting a market demand so they can remain competitive for use in those environments, which is good for everyone. It’s benign

Then please show me the button (and I mean button, not command-line exclusive settings or config file entries in /etc, and certainly not unofficial trickery like third party repositories that replace Ubuntu advantage packages with an empty decoy) that says “Thank you, I don’t need Ubuntu Pro, please stop nagging me about it”.
