“Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like internet points?”
But… is that not exactly the description of somebody who complains about downvotes?? As said by others; they should be considered exactly as valid as upvotes. If you feel like they prohibit you from voicing an opinion, I personally feel like that is a you-problem. Ask yourself of the content you posted is crap, if you feel it is not, simply ignore the downvotes and move on, they are just pixels.
Edit: I checked your posts, most downvoted ones seem to be clickbaity or images that you posted to the linux community. This is not something that vibes with that type of community, I would have downvoted that too. The ones on your technical questions seem unjustified however. Posting a code snippet asking people to execute it… I think that crap should even have been deleted by mods.
you can automate a lot of the basc profile stuff in your dotfiles with some automation such as github.com/anishathalye/dotbot to bootstrap a new install. it makes your new distro right at home, and if you combine this with github to store your dotfiles, you’ll also have a backup of your environment.
Normally its better practice to have the server configuration stored in a declarative way like ansible or similar and only store the userdata in the backup.
So you can fast and easy reinstall your server including all of its config files and then clone the usage data like dbs or files into the new machine. This is more reliable and also faster than just do a full dump of the system.
Provided you don’t want to play one of the few games that refuse to enable Linux support on their anticheat I’ve found my PC can run games designed to run on windows far more smoothly now than they ever did on windows
Are you really comfortable with ansible? The only reason to use it for your case is that you want to learn it. Time you spend writing a playbook and testing it will be much longer than installing everything manually on a single machine. And it will be impossible to reuse it if you consider moving to not debian based distro later.
Why are so many people suddenly worried about down votes? They don't matter. You get nothing for a lot of upvotes, and you get nothing for a lot of downvotes. If you're so concerned about votes, I think that's a serious issue that you need to overcome, or you're going to have a very hard time in life.
I typically never downvote anyone. I’ll up upvote a post if it’s saying what I was already going to say.
I don’t even check vote counts, not my own nor others. I’m just here to share opinions, others and mine.
I couldn’t give a dime as to whether people up or downvote me.
I don’t think it’s a healthy system. And I agree, as Linux users we should support community and different opinions, not squash them. The disagreements can often lead to a better solution for all.
Same here. Does not make a difference, and it is amazing that people’s egos are hurt or happy about it somehow. But upvotes and downvotes is what drives all other social media: egos want more likes, more subscribes, more “friends”, they want that tribal approval. I find the fediverse to be less infected with FOMO. Drama doesn’t go long around here, doesn’t stick because there are no stupid algorithms feeding more FUD. I am starting to believe that this is where the top 1% of the social media hang out and chill. Here there are people that stick around for interesting conversations as opposed to “look at me”.
Don’t forget part “email notifications”. In addition to configuring the raid, you need to understand when the disk crashed, otherwise the raid will not help.
if you want share files with linux or windows with not basic ways you have many choises. NFS for example, or sshfs if you need folder time to time, or share directory with nginx ( stackoverflow.com/…/how-to-configure-nginx-to-ena… ), or overkill: nextcloud server.
UPD: In general, you just need to find a linux distributive with good documentation and use this documentation for the first time. Some things are solved differently in Linux than in Windows and you just won’t know about it without reading the wiki.
If you want to simply make a folder containing media accessible to all on the network, I suggest to install minidlna, a UPnP server. All you need is to have the media folders accessible by minidlna. Otherwise the config is a simple text file.
