I recently got a few (5) hard drives to turn my home server into a NAS with trueNAS scale and my idea is to have 4 usable and 1 for redundancy, my question is... How does RAID work, like what is RAID 0, RAID 5, software RAID etc, and does any of that even matter for my use case?

I've got a Dell G3 3579 that's in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I've thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I'm a bit skeptical of it... So ig my question is whether it's OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.

E: I've checked, amazon does not ship to my country... I'm also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for...

Yeah, can't really explain why either...

I've tried changing pretty much everything in /etc/fstab to no effect, another weird thing is that the system can boot without /etc/fstab being present... Though only the ROOT partition gets mounted. Any Ideas? (Ignore the *s, they are so that the # appears instead of lemmy enlarging the text)

Recently, I've been wanting to make a custom live iso with a couple of tools that I need but I really don't know where to start or what to do... any help?

E: I didn't phrase my post correctly, I need a portable set of desktop tools for development, running on the gnome desktop

I've had a "home lab server" for a while now, it's nothing special but I think I can do more with it, I just don't know what to do with it... I currently use it just for a pihole and (sometimes) a Minecraft server or a web server... I used to also have a nexcloud and a searxng instance (which I will probably bring back)... Any ideas for other things I can run on it?

I know that there is a copr repo, but that copr repo seems to have been abandoned as it's stuck on linux 6.1...

For me, I'd like to see a simmulor and an amprex incarnon...

This is a genuine question, as every time I have an argument about this with someone they bring a point so utterly stupid that it leaves me stumped...
