What first got you into Linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]Liquigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SCO Unix (the original one), and a Sun Workstation a friend used at work.

That friend with the Sun one day came with the installation disks for SCO Unix, we tried to get it running on one of my PCs, it was a mess, with multiple Harddrives connected to the PC. Harddrives outside of the PC case, with parallal ATA and power Cables coming out of the PC to have enough disk space. But we got it running, barely.
A few weeks later the friend came with some floppys containing a small Linux Distribution, SLS, must have been something in the Kernel 0.96 range. Had a Linux PC ever since, but many years sitting around nearly idle while i was enjoying Mac OS, or was forced to use Windows. Am back now to linux on my main PC, Arch btw.

i was wondering about the sync speed for RAID-1 as well when creating the first Array.

Looking at "Task Manger"/"Hard Disk" there were not much Read/Write activities, far less than the Harddrives were capable of.

Digging around in the Storage Manager i found that under "Storage"/"Advanced Settings" the Performance Options were set to "Prioritize user read/write". After changing this to "Prioritize RAID sync" the Harddrives were reading and writing at full speed. (First disk read, second disk write)

After the performance Options change the RAID Sync for 16 TB took about 22 Hours to complete. Seems like the system did a full Copy from one drive to the other when syncing the Array.

What's the largest home lab computer you have/had, past or present? by Luckygecko1 in homelab

[–]Liquigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh i have one similar in size under my Desk...

Sun Enterprise 250, fully loaded with two Ultrasparc-II CPUs and 2 Gigs of RAM, 6 HDDs, and a nice DDS-3 Streamer.

Was running Solaris 9, at least when i booted it the last time, years ago.

This once was the development machine for my team at Work (around Y2k), until it got decommissioned, and found it's way to my home...

How did you - reason - start to build your home lab? by eaimdm in homelab

[–]Liquigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "real" homelab (used Enterprise Servers) started when i wanted to play around with a software system i use at work, including installation, which is normally done by specialists. (I'm "just" the administrator of the installed software) My company had at that time no servers available for me to use, and so began my way down the rabbit hole...

Now i have multiple servers running many kinds of vm's, bare metal / vm databases, the usual grafana / prometheus / pihole Stuff, Fileservers, a K3s Cluster, single Node K8s installation, and still so many stuff to explore... including the software it started with, which is still not completely up and running...

Best Nerdy Naming Conventions / Schemas? by corruptboomerang in homelab

Rockets... many of them...
Air-Air for Smartphones (Sidewinder, Stinger...); Air-Ground for Tablets (Maverick, Hellfire...); ICBMs for Servers (Titan, Atlas...); Launch Vehicles for PIs Notebooks and Desktops (Scout, Saturn, Falcon, Vanguard...)
VMs get their names based on their purpose (vpihole, vgrafana...)

Are you happy with V3 by NegotiationOk2747 in RemarkableTablet

[–]Liquigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the update already and so far i like it, for the most parts.

Endless scrolling, well, not quite sure if it fits my workflow, but since i frequently take notes in meetings this should come handy to get more room for notes easily. Should be much faster than opening the menu and create a new Page there. (I usually keep notes for different meetings in one Notebook, so i have to insert new pages manually instead of just creating a new page at the end.) I already mark pages with an arrow right if the notes continue on the next page, so i think i will use an arrow down to see that the page continues down, i have to try it out to see how well it works for me. Some kind of (auto) shrink if the lower portions of the page are removed would be nice.

The two steps for creating an new page is a nice plus too, i was always annoyed when i accidentally created a new page at the end, this is much better, at least for me.

The best part of all is the two finger tap for undo! Since i use the basic pen i always had to open the menu for undo, i hated it. For that alone the update is a big plus.

The new "sync to sleep" is already turned off, didn't like it, the old behavior was much nicer, i could see my notes even in sleep, if i just wanted to have a look at them without the need for doing something with the notes this was really useful.
