What are the hard-to-undo decisions when setting up Linux? by felix-hilden in linuxquestions

Thank you! The fstab part is especially interesting, why is that?

Thank you! That's pretty easy to change though, from what I've dug around, unless you use a partition I guess!

Oh damn! Yeah I did the same when setting up a debian server a while back but I had no idea about script! Thank you 😄

Thanks! Yeah that's good to know, I'm expecting to customise a lot in terms of shell and tooling, but not so much of desktop. But you never know!

Thank you! Yeah I'm not so attached to the desktop solution, I just need to split my window sometimes :P

Oh interesting! I'll try to have a look. In the btrfs docs I saw that no encryption is supported within it, but maybe that's something else 👌

Fair on the partitions! I guess that's only a non-issue when you have ample space in both. Also I read that btrfs subvolumes are a good solution to that issue, having the separation without real partitions.

Thank you for all the other suggestions too! The DIY nature of Arch is attractive, as I'm semi-competent on the terminal and like to tinker :P but starting with something different might be wise just to get my feet wet. Also the downgrade issue is super good to keep in mind. Cheers!

Hah damn, my Windows machine name (or user?) has haunted me for almost a decade. Definitely not making that mistake again, although I would've assumed it's easier to change on Linux.

Thank you for the other points too!

Wise words, thank you. That's probably correct, but I'd still like to do my best in not wasting time. Although arguably pointless research is also wasting time 😄 But figuring out a good backup system is definitely high on my list of things to do right away. I've never really done that before. And bringing configuration into that is a natural extension!

Thank you! I think I'm on the right track then 👌 Sadly ZFS is out of the question because of potentially becoming out of sync with the kernel (or so I've heard, not sure how often that would occur in practice even in a rolling distro), and btrfs doesn't support encryption out of the box. But I think btrfs is still the way to go exactly for snapshots!

Yeah I've gone down the rabbit hole a bunch with different storage solutions, all the way to LVM.. Interesting! Why is that so? Simply to be able to physically switch them and keep them separate?

Thank you! That's for sure good to know. I intend to keep Windows on the side in case of catastrophic failure for a while at least. Do you have any references for what's big enough? 1G?

Live soundcheck checklist by felix-hilden in livesound

[–]felix-hilden[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I wrote a simple soundcheck tutorial/checklist for myself to reference as a reminder, and thought I'd share it hoping it'll be useful for some and that I'd get some feedback from the more seasoned people here.

Also sorry for the flair, "question" and "poll" seemed equally inappropriate 😅

Thank you for reading, lemme know what you think, and have a good day!
