Da hat man wohl bei der Erstellung des Leistungsverzeichnises geschlampt. Das schreibt man z.B. Kennzahlen rein, die der Dienstleister erreichen muss. Und Pönalen, wenn er es nicht tut. Das erfordert aber natürlich ein Mindestmaß an Kompetenz. Fragt mich nicht, woher ich das weiß.

These problems were solved or at least alleviated by global scale environmental action. The horrendously dirty heavy industry of the Eastern block collapsing did help, of course. There were no large scale disinformation campaigns trying to convince people that sulphur dioxide is good for you.

The world was becoming more peaceful and more democratic. Fewer people went hungry. Many countries made the jump from poor to middle income. All in all, the world was a better place than it is today, but the most important thing was the optimism that things could actually get better. But then people in the US had enough of being reasonable and voted for Dubya.

It's not like you're going to have a choice. And if some of you die, that is a sacrifice Musk is willing to make.

The US have collectively lost their mind. It's only going downhill from here.

That's what the woke mob would have you believe! The water isn't getting warmer at all! Believe me!

Linux uses forward slash. Windows uses backslash. Because some dude 45 years ago wanted to make it look different from UNIX.

Pathlib is the answer.

[–] Diplomjodler3 12 points 11 hours ago

Try pathlib. All your problems solved.

Such a huge surprise that we would be made from the stuff that is floating around in space in vast quantities.

Those yanks are so fucked.

These numbers are entirely fictional and making a big song and dance about them is pointless.

Suddenly the normal sleep tracking became something completely unusable. Is this enshittification or did I do something wrong?

After my last post got quite a lot of interest, I thought I'd do a follow-up. And, what can I say, it's been a journey:

Hardware

Installing the hardware was pretty easy. I'm just always a bit apprehensive about these things because I don't do this very often. But it went fine.

First boot

Nothing. No reaction at all. Well shit. After trying to reboot about 10 times, I removed all the drives one by one, but no change. I tried reseating the RAM but that also didn't do it. Then I left the machine alone for a few minutes while I was doing something else and suddenly I was in the BIOS. I'm not sure if it was the reseating or if it just needed some time for RAM training or something. Anyway, finally some result. So I put it all togther again and proceded to the next level.

Openmedivault installation

Plugged in the USB stick, it booted straight into the OMV installer. Then I hit a snag as it was trying to connect to the network. It only showed the Ethernet connections, no Wifi. But I hadn't plugged it in because my desk is not near the router. I wanted to set it up with Wifi and then plug it in at the router. First I thought the Wifi card is buggered. So I booted into a Linux Mint live system. It showed the Wifi card and connected without issue. I don't know if it's a driver issue or if OMV simply doesn't suppot Wifi. That would seem a bit silly, though. Maybe someone here has some insight? So anyway, after some very janky cable routing I managed to hook it up to both Ethernet and HDMI, after that the OMV installation went through without any problems.

Setting up the RAID

Well, in hindsight it was easy. Better documentation would really have helped, though. I created file systems on the disk first and thought I could then add these to the RAID. But what you have to do is download the RAID plugin first, then create the RAID and then create a file system with your disks. No problem if you know how to do it. But it took me a lot of searching and trial and error to figure that out. ** Sharing the Drive**

Next I created a shared folder and proceeded to mount it on my PC via NFS. That didn't go too well, as I could see the shared folder on the PC but didnt have write permission to put any data on it. After spending literally all evening trying out various permutations of NFS settings on both the server and client side, I finally figuered out that I had forgotten to set an ACL on the shared folder, which prevented me from accessing it on the client. Again, better documentation would have helped a lot there. Maybe it's out there and I just didn't find it.

What's next

So anyway, I have a functioning NAS now. Could have been easier but I guess that's just how it is round here. Next I want to set up some docker apps, like Jellyfin and paperless-ngx. Let's see how that goes. The main drawback so far is the noise. That thinhg is loud. Even when it's in a closet, the fan makes it difficult to be in the same room. That's definitely something I'll have to address. Someone suggested swapping out the fan but I'm not sure how I'd find one that is suitable. Any suggestions are welcome. If you guys are interested, I'll keep writing updates about my progress.

Da kann ja wirklich nichts, aber auch gar nichts schief gehen.

It's an Aoostar R1. A mini PC with an Intel N100 and two HDD drive bays. It's going to be my new NAS.

 

So the judge agreed that Musk is a windbag who nobody should believe. What a great victory.

 

I just ordered an Aoostar R1N100 mini PC to replace my aging Synology NAS. Now I'm thinking about what to install on it. It's supposed to work as a NAS but I also want to host some services on it like papeless-ngx and Jellyfin, which I both run in Docker containers on a different machine right now. Plus anything that takes my fancy in the future. Current candidates are OpenMediaVault and TrueNAS. My priorities are ease of installation and administration, as well as reliability. Which one would you recommend or are there any alternatives I'm not aware of? I've also considered Unraid, but I'd prefer something FOSS.
