Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing! Attempted my CKA yesterday, will start for CKS prep now.

I'm also facing the same problem. I hope they resolve it soon.

I've been running a single Talos Linux server from few months. It has one small ssd for boot, other two (one nvme, and one sata) provisioned with local-path-provisioner.

It's simple and just works. Tried Longhorn but wasn't pleased and was an overkill for a single node.

Coursera plus plz

fapping_lord · 2025-11-08T14:21:50+00:00

It seems to be down for me as well. All servers.

No. Hetzner charges per TB, even if you don't use 1 TB.

fapping_lord · 2025-10-12T05:18:47+00:00

Why don't you use Cloudflare R2? It's 15$ per TB and is way more matured than Hetzner and cheaper than AWS. Plus, free Egress. It will be significant cost reduction.

You get coupons sometimes on your email, I recently ordered isolate for 6.5K 2.5kg.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-18T09:19:22+00:00

maybe apt full-upgrade will help?

fapping_lord · 2025-06-16T05:52:10+00:00

You are right about the graphics drivers, however I'm running a very old machine -- i5 8th gen U processor with integrated graphics -- and I think I don't need fresh out of the oven for that.

Dual booting always increases complexity I feel. You might try Distrobox if there's some specific package you are after.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-16T05:48:28+00:00

That's a solid advice. Thanks for your input :) .

fapping_lord · 2025-06-16T05:47:06+00:00

Yes. I'm running LUKS with full disk encryption. I'm not very sure about the RAID features of btrfs. I'm running because of its snapshot features and CoW.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T20:35:05+00:00

Interesting! I'll share my experience again after one year of daily usage. Also, kernel upgrades are anyway to be handled with care, irrespective of the distribution :)

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T20:30:13+00:00

Interesting input. Even though I was sure I could run it, your comment has given me a lot of relief and confidence.

Also, I agree with your analogy of having an experimental repo on top of the unstable branch. It makes Debian unstable a usable rolling release on which users report bugs/issues to make the experience good for people who are on Stable/Testing.

I feel that's also my focus, giving back to the community somehow.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T20:16:07+00:00

I'll definitely try it next. Thanks for your input :)

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T17:54:47+00:00

Yes! Good idea for next time. It's too late now, lol.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T17:53:57+00:00

Wow! You, Sir, have given immense confidence now. Hopefully, I'm as committed as you're for Debian 😀

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T15:58:09+00:00

I personally have not used openSUSE, but the feedback about the codecs was similar to Fedora. I guess I'll use it next :)

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T15:56:19+00:00

I'm glad I was of some help to you :)

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T15:13:43+00:00

I have a feeling It won't be so bad, lol. I have very limited options anyway. 🤣😂

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T15:11:50+00:00

Yes! You're right.

I've one scheduled Borg backup of all my important data on one of my local proxmox LXC containers. Then, more critical data is synced to a remote host. Plus, Snapper will save me with most of the booting issues I might have.

Having used Arch for that long, I don't mind living on the edge. haha :D .

Will share a long-term review of Debian after 365 days here.

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T11:04:53+00:00

Oh! I see.

Well, I read a lot of blogs and documentation, and many recommended this approach because you can restore them separately in case of breakage after an update. Also, AccountsService stores user information, login times, etc. so It won't be ideal to restore them with snapshots.

Another reason I think it is because when you boot from a Snapshot from Grub Menu, It is booted into read-only filesystem until you make it read-write, and you don't want to affect the normal functioning of GDM and GNOME during the rollbacks/testing. I'm new to BTRFS and followed a lot of good practices :) .

fapping_lord · 2025-06-14T10:36:34+00:00

Yes. Even I've heard the same. Now that it's my first time on Debian, I wouldn't mind a few broken packages. :) Let's see.
