  • If it works on mint, it’ll most likely work on debian, with the caveat that debian is a lot more CLI and a lot less handholding. Depending on your setup, debian might be a better choice for you, as Mint is desktop oriented.

    But don’t fix something that already works. If there’s no issues with your Mint setup, I’d say keep it. Next time you set up a server, you can go for debian instead.

    Source: I use both extensively. Mint on desktop, debian on headless stuff.





  • I’ve been curious about kagi for a while, as I see the topic come up now and then.

    Could you describe how it is better (except from the obvious privacy aspect) in your particular use case?

    Which plan do you subscribe to?

    What is the AI assistant it refers to, and do you use it?

    Does it filter out standard slop that has been plaguing (my) search results lately, such as “How to fix (some specific problem with technology ABC): Long description of what technology ABC is, followed by some boilerplate bullet points such as updating drivers and run windows update.”

    @thatsnothowyoudoit@lemmy.ca: Same question to you.











  • Looking at this pic makes me conclude I made the right fashion choices (or lack thereof) along the way. Jeans and T-Shirt all the way, even during my black metal phase.

    Although during that time I did dye my (long) hair Black No. 1. Which is kinda funny, as someone claimed back then that I looked like a younger Pete Steele (Of Type O Negative fame, who’s most famous song is Black No. 1, in case you didn’t know).

    So what am I wearing now? Yeah, you guessed wrong. My jeans are in the washer, so I’m currently sporting t-shirt and half a track suit. My hair is getting pretty long again, but dying it is just too much hazzle.






  • I use beegfs at work for the redundancy and clustering aspect. 1.8PB of storage with 100% redundancy.

    While it supports a lot and CAN be quite involved, a very basic setup is in fact pretty simple:

    A filesystem on a machine is a storage target.
    A machine with storage targets is a storage node. (beegfs-storage)
    A management server (beegfs-mgmtd) connects these together into a filesystem.
    Any machine runs beegfs-client to mount this filesystem.
    One machine needs to run beegfs_meta for the Metadata. It doesn’t require a lot.
