They are supporting their government since Russia is under attack, but the war is unpopular. The government response is considered too weak, many want harder strikes, including against the West.

zfs is about data integrity rather than performance.

Make sure your data pool is well laid out zfs though.

It may be a shady company, but Russia is blocking Telegram because it is not complying with the regulations.

Do you see the difference of kernel maintainers in a particular jurisdiction being subject to their individual national law, however silly it may be, and the Linux kernel and derivates being licensed under GPL?

A lot of people born January the first, 1970.

Are you trolling?

Russia has harsher blocks than China, meanwhile.

Can’t even watch it with my always on VPN.

You must have missed the point where we’ve overstayed our welcome.

If it causes pain, stop doing it.

Look at protectli, there are equivalent devices on aliexpress if too expensive. If you’re particular about open source, try finding ones with openboot.

Use a PoE switch, or a power injector for AP. If open source, OpenWRT APs.

Nothing wrong with mutt.

If you want to provision a mix of different VMs in a sizable environment using Satellite and can’t, it’s a strike against a RH ecosystem. Another strike is susceptibility to US sanctions. And a third one: you should see what RH consultants charge, and aggregate cost of RH licenses.

These days any sane mid-sized government should encourage local open source ecosystem and talent. And be it just for the sake of souvereignity.

Exactly. Despite on the tin saying they support rpm and deb both. Official reaction (to a major gov customer): wontfix.

Yes, just powered so the system is aware of it.

Make sure you scrub weekly. The probability of a second device failure is higher than you think, since it can be triggered by resilvering. I would also make sure you have a spare at hand. With four drives I would run a stripe over mirrors pool. And have a matching spare sitting ready on a shelf.

Fedora is not really a community distro, the way Debian is.

FYI, RH Satellite doesn’t support deb, but Foreman does (state from 3 years ago). RH has no interest in fixing this, for some strange reason.

Hardware RAID host adapters can handle hot spares OS-agnostically, but for zfs these days it means Linux or *BSD. For a NAS I would go with a BSD distro, for hyperconverged Proxmox on top of Debian.

I can explain in more detail later.

A hot spare is a spinning disk that is known to the system and is automatically added to a RAID/pool when a disk there fails, and then triggers rebuild/resilvering of the RAID.

A cold spare is a disk added manually by the user.
