  • 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.







  • Norwegian here, and I don’t think it’s gonna change a whole lot. Well, not for her, at least.

    Personally I don’t care enough about them, and I don’t get the impression anyone under 60 care that much either, neither positive or negative. Her husband is genuinely a nice person, so is her father in law (yes, I’ve met them both). Her son is a scumbag, though. (And he almost ran into me on a bicycle when he was 5 or so!)

    So if anyone wants to litigate against her, I’m not gonna stand in the way, but for now this looks mostly like a case of “Should’ve known better”, something several government officials have publicly stated.

    Just to clarify my stance on monarchy: Conflicted. In theory it does make sense to have someone who can veto everything on behalf of the state if the government goes weapons grade guano. However, the apolitical nature of a monarch pretty much stand in the way of this. And on the other hand, I’m not a big fan of inherited power.
    But all in all, I don’t really care that much. Larger portions of my taxes go to stupider things.




  • 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.
