ok, you win. [=

Yes, but in a way the graphs themselves look not es gnomie I would like them to have. They could look closer to the graph that is being done for the Wellbeing feature in the gnome-control-center.

This is dangerous PR. I hope they eventually adapt the new report guidelines for Linux security bugs!

I used the debootstrap method for installing Debian on btrfs. This involves manually installing the boot loader I did choose systemd-boot. I must say, I think it is a kind of advanced method, because I don’t know if I would have a running Debian on btrfs with encryption and working hibernate without my Gentoo-past.

Here I found a guide which is close to what I have done: https://sysguides.com/install-debian-13-with-btrfs with some optional stuff you may not need/want. I think, key is avoiding the debian installer

Try out the PaperWM extension. It transforms Gnome into a linear window manager like niri.

I am a flatpak/GNU/Linux user ^^

I have seen phased rollouts already in Ubuntu. Will it be possible to temporary override a phased update to get it anyway?

Besides that, great addition, I just want the ability to do it. You never know, when you need it.

I could update Ubuntu servers despite the DDoS.

Or provide them in the first place.

I am close to #1, but I have a 16:10 not 16:9 monitor. My laptop lid is always closed. I am a 100% one monitor person.

I am considering an ultrawide at home, but I fear that I will get problems at work if I cannot have the same there. I am not sure, if the linear window manager I am using makes sense with an ultrawide. And third issue: My existing monitor is still good and and awesome features which seem to be rare on other except gaming monitors: auto brightness and presense sensor. At work I can live without these two things, because the desk space has alsways the same brightness.

I game on Debian; it is absolutely up to the task.

It is called the universal operating system for a reason.

Thx, I decided to not use raid for shipping.

this is scientific data.

Funfact, I recently did a scrub on my offline backup drive of my work PC. It correct around 250 errors. I wouldn’t have noticed any problems if I had used ext4 instead of btrfs.

I agree with both of you. Somehow I don’t worry about the drive in my laptop but 80 TB of scientific data is another thing, and I want to make sure it is the same data when it arrives.

That sounds scary and like I need at least btrfs if I need to ship the data instead of using rsync.

Yes, using rsync between the two servers would be the best option. I guess, despite I already have the drives. On my end I could provide the access and arrange proper security with VPN, but at the target there are still too many question marks and I cannot currently count on some basic Linux knowledge there.

For a previous transfer of much less data I had to write a PS script that handled the transfer. It was very slow.

So, I am actually dealing with another problem: Can I get enough information from the non-tech persons to provide the best and easiest solution for them.

Thx so far all the ideas from all of you.

Thx.

The disks are only meant for transport at this time.

The more I think about it, the more I lean towards btrfs, because even if they don’t use btrfs on the target server the copying process will do the error correction based on the checksums in btrfs itself. I hope btrfs does it the same way as ZFS in this scenario.

Your assumption is correct. These are many files of medium size: sat raster images.

The more I think about it, the more I lean towards btrfs, because even if they don’t use btrfs on the target server the copying process will do the error correction based on the checksums in btrfs itself.

I wasn’t involved in the decision process to buy those drives and enclosures. Now they act as a backup, too.

More like 8x 10 TB drives.
