I think this might be the right solution for OP, especially since they don’t seem to have had the “experience” I’m sure many of us have had with this “simple” operation. If you are going to do it, them it should be done using a live OS and a full offline system backup, otherwise its very easy to lose a lot of data this way.

However, symlinks like that can make things confusing really quickly. I would encourage anyone using them in this way to establish some easily checked rules and abide by them. For example, maybe you only use symlinks like this in a specific folder such as /home/expanded. You can still have multiple links there like /home/expanded/on5TBdrive or /home/expanded/onPrimarySSD, but it makes it easier to remember, find, and check those locations later.

When you need to know exactly where something is stored, verify a backup, or find data without the symlink, then you will appreciate a set of rules that helps you.

ZFS is fantastic and it can indeed restore files that have been encrypted as long as you have an earlier snapshot.

However, it would not have helped in this scenario. In fact, it might have actually made recovery efforts much more difficult.

It could have helped by automatically sending incremental snapshots to a secondary drive, which you could then have restored the original drive from. However, this would have required the foresight to set that up in the first place. This process also would not have been quick; you would need to copy all of the data back just like any other complete drive restoration.

Satisfactory isn’t bad either, but factorio wins in my book.

Can you name your country? Because, uh… No. If that actually exists where you live though, then that’s awesome. We should have that here.

My point was that it’s not necessary, and the practice increases the likelihood that the entire bin will be thrown out because some consumer didn’t peel them off. Then the company gets to say “we told them to do it, it’s not our fault!”

I do peel these off, but I also think that they are irritating and actively hinder the problem at hand.

Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

I was about to ask why this is better than the docker installation, but I see step one is to install docker haha.

I’ve been running the docker container for a long time, it works very well. It is a bit more complicated if you try and use extensions that require seperatw containers (like setting up collabora), but that can be done as well. It’s just more complicated.

I do remember needing to know how to access the internal terminal a few times, but I don’t remember why. If I think of it I’ll come back and add instructions.

Edit: It’s to be able to run occ commands:

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ “Command goes here”

Sudo docker exec -u www-data nextcloud-app php occ files:scan --all

I’m not sure if this is helpful to you or not, because it’s not what you asked. I just don’t mount them on boot though.

I have a script that requires a unique password that decrypts everything that I actually care about. If that hasn’t been run, then the server starts emailing me every 15 minutes until I do.

The server is not setup to reboot unless I manually tell it to or there is a power outage, so logging in to run the script has never really been an issue. At most, I’ve had to SSH in from my phone maybe a handful of times.

I’m not educated in this matter at all, this is just a guess with no basis.

A “cloud chamber” is a device used to detect radiation, and it has been that for a long time. Perhaps they wanted to distance themselves from that device, hence the strained acronym CLOUD.

Ubuntu has ZFS on root as one of the options in the normal graphical installer. I have it running on multiple machines.

To be fair, this one is true… Its just that they are also designed to protect you from stray microwaves lol

It’s not, look at postgres under both DB in the last picture. That’s not just the same writing, it’s identical.

I know you said this is wrong, but my APC racks that look just like that also use 12-24 pilot point screws. They do have a little cutting notch that clears out the paint when you screw them in though

The “we’re gonna get this to you early!” Usually means that you were scheduled to receive a more expensive service package on that day, so it doesn’t cost Fedex any more money to deliver both of them.

Otherwise they would give it to the post office on Monday and you would get it in +one business day

This is probably a USPS transfer package and got lost either at Fedex or USPS, which is why the delivery date keeps bouncing around.

Packages like that are delivered to USPS in bags, and the contents are “logically scanned”. If someone scanned it going into the bag, then you can usually assume that its still in the bag at the other end. However, that’s not always true.

They might find it later, but just showing up at Fedex is likely to be a waste of your time until that delivery date updates (indicating that someone has found and physically scanned the package).

Cable TV did not originally have ads. That was part of the reason that people started paying for it.

What you are seeing is the natural cycle of content and greed.
