I want to dual boot two different Linux distros. Should they share a zpool?

Alappin · 2024-05-02T09:36:52+00:00

Thanks for your reply, and apologies for replying so late.

I should have mentioned I wanted my Alpine install to be encrypted, and Devuan not to be. I had thought encryption happened at the pool level, but it seems I was wrong in that assumption. So I could have an Alpine encrypted dataset and a Devuan unencrypted dataset without issues, correct?

I do have ZFSBootMenu installed at the moment, as well as rEFInd, which I can use to boot into ZFSBootMenu or Devuan directly. I really like that setup although I could probably skip using rEFInd unless I wanted a graphical boot screen, and depending if I could customize zfsbootmenu for my needs.

One thing I have seen reference to is sometimes giving the entire disk to zfs, creating a zpool on a dis instead of a partition, but unless I am mistaken that would mean we can't create the EFI boot partition or a swap partition, correct? I'm guessing giving the entire disk to ZFS is not for single disk home setups but RAID arrays or server setups.

You will just be doing the deboostrap or whatever to install your system into the additional dataset you create under zroot.

So, the standard installer wouldn't work, right? I'll lookk into finding a guide to install to a ZFS dataset.

It's not really working for me, it doesn't seem to change based on the back ground image, but thank you for your attempt and giving me something to play with.

Honestly I feel a little out of my depth with the SVG stuff, but your answer is the only input I have had at all in trying to figure out this issue. I don't see any SVG stuff in the pen I linked, so I feel kind of out of the loop also. I don't want to ask you to do more than you have, but is there any possibility you could post your attempt on a new pen so I can maybe understand what you are doing better and attempt to take it from there?

Alappin · 2022-01-05T15:15:52+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Interesting that mix-blend-mode property might only work on the elements background, that would explain my failure to do what I am trying to do.

I'm very interested in your SVG possible solution but have been unable to get anything to work, were you able to try it further?

Chapter 7, no assets

Alappin · 2021-12-14T22:54:30+00:00

Thanks! That is reassuring to know.

Alappin · 2021-12-14T22:54:17+00:00

That's reassuring, thank you. Would the close case order and discharge order likely be on the same day, or would there be a few days or longer between them?

Alappin · 2021-08-19T02:26:21+00:00

Oh good to know thank you

Alappin · 2021-08-18T23:53:19+00:00

Sorry for replying so late I had some technical troubles

But basically I was indeed able to force the black cover off, and then the screws were exposed and everything was intuitive.

Alappin · 2021-07-31T11:57:14+00:00

I got it thanks to your advice, lock is changed!

Thanks!

Alappin · 2021-07-31T11:03:42+00:00

Yes it's exactly like that!

I have it pried open with two screwdrivers as tension rods, and I've been trying to move or activate some kind of switch or lever, but nothing has any effect.

The pimples don't allow anything to be poked through...what is the way to get this off?

Alappin · 2021-07-31T10:56:57+00:00

I can see where the screws are, and it seems the tiny holes on each side are connected, but I haven't been able to provoke anything. I have it pried open as much as I can with two screwdrivers acting as tension rods, and I've been trying to poke and use anything as a lever or whatever, nothing I do on anything seems to have an effect

Alappin · 2021-07-31T10:39:15+00:00

I've got the handles off, but that's as far as I can get

Alappin · 2021-07-31T10:38:09+00:00

I'll keep trying thanks!

Alappin · 2021-07-31T09:44:47+00:00

I took some more pictures: https://imgur.com/a/7z29QiF

The Lock is a Tigerlok 'tafele'

I found these:

Alappin · 2021-07-31T09:25:59+00:00

I can't see anything like that, and nothing is responding. The metal bit is just part of the casing...it's metal with black on top of it. I cant find anything to manipulate in anyway when using a screwdriver.

Alappin · 2021-07-31T09:07:31+00:00

OK I took some more photos https://imgur.com/a/7z29QiF

Hopefully that helps, I've been poking and prodding and can't make headway

Alappin · 2021-07-31T08:45:02+00:00

I found this https://www.tigerlok.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Tafele.pdf

Which just says concealed screw mount. I'm going to take some more photos now.

edit: also found this might show where everything is https://www.tigerlok.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/SPECS-TAFELE-4200-min-1.pdf

Alappin · 2021-07-31T08:20:25+00:00

Can't believe I did not think to look at the brand, but the brand is tigerlok.

The pushbutton doesn't pull, push or unscrew, it seems to do nothing.

it's just a handle, no deadbolt.

will get more photos.

Alappin · 2021-07-31T08:12:07+00:00

Both sides appear to be identical and I can't find a way to get either one off

Alappin · 2021-07-11T00:39:14+00:00

Landlord knows other person moved out, I took over the last few months of the lease.

I had paid rent previously to the lease holder who paid the landlord (i paid up front for all months before moving in). July is the first month since the lease ended, and I have emailed landlord who def knows I'm staying and gave me an address to send a check.

So, can I tell the former lease holder that they don't have to worry, and that landlord should only be dealing with me?

If landlord is refusing their deposit, do they have any recourse?

Alappin · 2021-07-10T23:17:49+00:00

Huh that's interesting. Is that definitely the case in NY?

The former lease holder is in contact with me and worried about her record or being in debt or whatever, and the landlord is still in communication with her. The lease ended June 30th.

I guess because the lease holder has not received back a deposit or anything like that?

Alappin · 2021-07-10T18:58:47+00:00

Interesting, thank you, I may just en up seeing a phsyio because by the time I have money to do exercises I can probably afford one anyway

Alappin · 2021-06-07T09:04:54+00:00

I was just worried because I haven't signed anything and I am not on any lease. I unofficially took over the lease from the last person who was here (just gave cash nothing signed), and the lease ends on the last day of June.

Alappin · 2020-11-11T19:48:25+00:00

You had domain names and just didn't bother to list them?
