I believe there is a method to do a 1-1 build copy, but my expertise ends at this point

Docs say this , so yeah. "send streams can either be “full”, containing all data in a given snapshot, or “incremental”, containing only the differences between two snapshots. ZFS receive reads these send streams and uses them to re-create identical snapshots on a receiving system. "

Zfs send / receive might be what you want

Marurity matters, not years . In my parents era 18 was a common marriage age, but they were done high-school and working full time at 16, unless you went to Uni.

You joke but early 90s we had exactly this with magneto optical drives

I have never seen any dust or particles, they are pristine looking inside and no film or anything when touching internals. But I did some checking, drives have an air filter to catch wear particles to preserve clean head to disc contact, so those micro particles are hopefully trapped in the filter, and the risk is super low because of the tiny amount available, compared to clouds of asbestos dust in a home reno.

I think it was over large private videos ( aka storage space unpaid )

I had heard some users complain that youtube waa delisting private videos since they can't share publically for ad revenue. Something to check into.

I had that one twice last night watching a link somebody sent. can't believe youtube allows that one through

BCsven , 5 months ago to Selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?

I have pi4 with OpenMediaServer for SMB shares and videos to TV, it has docker and portainer add ins; so that single Pi has CUPS, Trillium Notes, PaperlessNG, homeassistant, kanboard, pdftk converter, syncthing. It could have more, I just ran out of applications I might need. no issues with performance.

They are still good, arm is awesome. i have Pi4 as OpenMediaVault and docker/homeassistant, etc. Friend gave me a Pi2 surprisingly OMV6 installs on it (even though it ia technically not supported), that one became a PiHole. My 13 year old iomega arm NAS just got converted to a debian minidlna server. Uses 20% of the 256MB RAM.

BCsven , 5 months ago to Technology in Your next Windows PC may need at least 16GB of RAM

Actually only 22% of the memory used, even while streaming audio. just the cpu fluctuates feom 0% to 70%

Looking at this prompted me to set the proper date after yesterdays reboot

BCsven , 5 months ago to Technology in Your next Windows PC may need at least 16GB of RAM

256MB on my old NAS running OpenMediaVault.

BCsven , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago) to Memes in I'm so good at time management that I hardly work at all

If you want to put in more time, thats on you obviously. But I see CEO/CFO and othe4 senior management doing 40, and employees doing the same. it has to be driven top down as a culture. Thankfully I'm in BC so management/salary gets extra hours paid, but I still don't want them.
