Stupid question about SSH:
newgeneral10 replied to Gealach's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
you can disown a process and have it run in the background. That should guarantee that it stays running after you logout. nohup <insert command here> &; disown; -
Ok. I give up. Linux n Octane.

Apparently there are two types of Debian for mips64? I don't much about it but I found this list. -
A noob question about systemctl (ubuntu)
newgeneral10 replied to Joveice's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Assuming the service file was written correctly, then yes, adding the @prod part means you won't start or enable any @test parts and vice versa -

Are you asking about the @prod part of it? if not you can use systemctl enable --now thing and be done with it. -
KVM on OpenSuse Tumbleweed?
newgeneral10 replied to ILikeBigTree's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
You can pass the partition as an existing drive according to stackoverflow. Alternatively, if you have the space, I copied my windows partition to a .img file, then used qemu-img to convert that to a qcow2 file. I then used qcow2 image for the vm and expanded my Linux partition to fill out my entire hard drive -
I still think you need to focus on the ZFS tunables instead of RAM size, i.e. enabling prefetch for stream boxes, setting appropriate compression and recordsize on your datasets. According to this page, arc limits are configurable as well.

Linux users! Why Linux?
newgeneral10 replied to Pavilion's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
I actually just had that happen to me too, but I was running Rawhide soooo I guess I asked for it. It was either dnf or python3.7. I just booted from a live Fedora, downgraded the two problem children, rebooted, upgraded, and was good as gold! -

Fedora has gotten a lot easier to install. Especially with Fedora 28, since they've loosened up on the whole DRM thing -

You just aren't trying hard enough -
What OS? Graphana is nice for seeing resource usage and Cockpit is good for web management (starting vms, enabling/disabling services, etc.)

Which Linux distro should I use?
newgeneral10 replied to Luca Rallis's topic in Linux, macOS and Everything Not-Windows
Ubuntu is going to be the easiest to get up and running. They have great documentation and try to make everything as user-friendly as possible. Ubuntu is basically made for new Linux people. Arch has some of the best performance for gaming and stuff, but it's very complicated. Arch is not recommended for new users, but they do have excellent documentation. Fedora is my distro of choice and is sort of between the two. Installing Fedora is as easy as Ubuntu but there are some tricky things if you want to use DRM stuff (took me a while to watch twitch videos). Fedora is mostly geared towards developers but I play games on it just fine. There's no reason to be scared of Fedora. -
2700x or 8700K for Virtualization?

Ahh. Unfortunately, I am not lucky enough to live near Micro Center... You live your best life and I'll try and make it through these dark and troubling times -

Where do you see the 16 core for that price?? -

I want to say this set up isn't going to work. I think the power cables for optical drives don't have enough pins to power an ssd correctly. You might want to double check that before you power it on Depends on what you want to do. Personally, I think a 120 GB scratch disk would be fine but if you have a 240 GB, why not use more space?

but muh uptime

ESXI, ProxMox, etc are Type 1 Hypervisors which mean they are Operating Systems designed for virtualization. I believe you can install the OS (ESXI, etc.) on a thumb drive and be fine, but an SSD might lead to better performance and/or longer life. I only really have hands on experience with FreeNas, which is mostly for a file server. FreeNas is weird in that it takes up the entirety of whatever drive you install it on. For that reason FreeNas is recommended to be installed on a usb stick. I don't think ESXI or ProxMox do that but if they do then definitely install them on a usb or small SSD so you don't waste precious drive space.
-
If you think you might want to do virtualization later, it may be better to go ahead and install something like ESXI or ProxMox now and install your CentOS or Windows server on that. If you install it on the bare metal it could be difficult to switch later.

Win10 .iso fails to copy and move to flash drive
newgeneral10 replied to SirGeneral's topic in Operating Systems
Are you just copying it to the flash drive or burning it to the drive?? If you are trying to boot from the drive then just copying it probably won't work...
