I know it's hard but just bank your strong pokemon, catch a one you never used and level up with it! Or go with a complete new team after each gym.

Yeah, but don't tell other arch users you are using EndavorOS... jk!

When you boot up the arch iso, you can use a script called arch-install

Pardon me, pass uses GNU PGP. I got that mixed up!

GNU Pass, has been the best one so far. Set up your own git to sync it to all devices.

And thanks to the magic of downgrading a package, the issue is resolved within minutes. If any update breaks something, which never happened in 3 years of desktop usage and 2 years of server usage so far, you can just downgrade the package, to the previous version, ignore the upgrade and take some time to understand what breaks. But I understand, why this might be too much maintenance for some people, and they rather pay with their freedom, and let other people take care of their system. But for me, that is not what using Linux is about.

Never had any problems like that with Archlinux. Literally one command, and all your video drivers are installed. And using a minimal kernel is not really a archlinux thing, since it isnt supported.

Honestly, the best thing I learned was: Need to fix your system through the install medium? Save yourself keystrokes of mounting by just mounting the root subvolume (to /mnt) and then type: mount -aT /mnt/etc/fstab --target-prefix /mnt. This reads your fstab and mounts everything for you.

Thank you so much for it :D

 

Not specifically Archlinux, but I am using Archlinux on my laptop, so I thought I'll ask here.

I am planing to replace my 1 TB M.2 SSD in my laptop with a 2 TB M.2 SSD, and I am wondering how to clone the whole 1 TB SSD and restore it onto the 2 TB M.2 SSD.

I have read about people using $dd for that, but I never did that. Can anybody confirm that this is possible?

I am running two partitions, one boot and the other one is a crypt device with btrfs + subvolumes inside.

Is there anything I have to consider, before doing this?

Thank you for your time.

 

After Redhats decision to put the source code of RHEL behind a paywall, I am getting a little bit concerned when it comes to open source software owned by companies. What are your opinions/thoughts about Proxmox ending up doing something similar for a cash grab?

 

What managed switch are you using, and why? Are there open source alternatives, or even open hardware switches?

 

Latest nvidia updates breaks steam, you have to enable multilib-testing and update lib32-nvidia-utils, that should fix it

 

I am currently looking into High Availability for my work setup. I am having some problems understanding how to achive that. I have two servers, one running libvirt and a couple VM, the other one nothing much yet.

To achieve HA with keepalived, I would have to setup the exact same VMs under the second server, right? If that's the case, how would I make sure that the "mirrors" stay equal, If for example the master goes down, the backup takes over, some changes are made in a DB and the master knows nothing about these changes.

Maybe I misunderstood keepalived so far, can somebody provide me with an example setup or hints on how to achieve what I want to do?

Kind Regards

I am using Archlinux as a server for my infrastructure. Does anyone have experience with ignoring kernel upgrades on Archlinux for a while? If so, how do you decide on what kernel release you are staying? If you upgrade the kernel, have you found a way to circumvent having to restart the machine?

 

I believe more and more people will escape to lemmy sooner or later, and I already see 3 different communities for the same thing (selfhosted) here on lemmy. Time will tell which one will be the most active, but lets assume all of them will be equally active and the desire emerges to combine the two communities about the same thing, is that something possible or intended to be possible with federated services?
