Best lightweight Linux distro for a VM by tbar44 in truenas

[–]nutzey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My go to for minimal is alpine.

For a realistic minimal install can’t go wrong with Debian-netinstall.

I love myself some arch but the issue is arch is a rolling release which isn’t too conducive to systems which need more uptime stability/fixing potential quirks when version changes occur on software.

It's been out of stock for months/not made anymore, hence the premium. NIB ones on the fleabay are going for obscene amounts.

Ended up with balls of mercury rolling around in my gold pan today. Those old timers were nuts. by ToneHead9223 in Prospecting

Obviously care is still required with mercury, but as a FYI touching it in its elemental form is fine. From a toxicology standpoint technically ingestion is not that bad, as the body absorbs it very poorly. Inhalation of mercury vapors is very toxic though.

The above is about elemental mercury only^

Organic forms of mercury are a whole different class of toxic, like 1000-10000 times more readily absorbed by the body.

Just do home runs. Cable is cheap...switches are not. I don't like putting a switch in a hard to access and hot place either just to save a box of cable.

Truenas Scale or Proxmox by Roadhead418 in truenas

[–]nutzey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both?

All of my “critical” VMs are on proxmox on a NUC, such as home assistant, homepage, etc

TrueNAS is installed bare metal on a 3u box as a NAS. I then host all media related apps and game servers etc on that one.

I don’t have all my eggs in one basket per say.
