Local RAID-1 NAS for me.

It's a thang! If it's not new and shiny then it's crap, regardless of functionality. Y'all brought it on yerselves by using mobile devices for admin. :o

(Quote) It does get fairly regular updates and remains stable for that - no bleeding edge. Currently version 2.245.0 https://tinycp.com/changelog

A @dinky troll tag. What ya on about, you ARE the leader of the Nigh Sect?

(Quote) Does that mean I won't always be skint? ;)

With ssh port changed, I leave port 22 alive, to let CSF block the scanning bastards!

^ You can't get one, so there! :p

(Quote) I'm not a great lover of tmpfs, where it'll put a lot of pressure on swap, with low RAM systems. I prefer a fixed disc allocation of say, 2GB and mounted in the traditional way, noexec, nosuid etc. Each to their own. I use /backup as a 'live…

^ I've got a couple of small (name)servers that I built quickly from provider templates, which turned out to be xfs. Not a problem really, as they are "single use" servers and if reconfigured at some later date, I'd use a minimal install i…

May as well rename as lowhungballs.com, if y'all wanna follow the teenager mindset. :'(

This place is already sounding like the OGF, with vulgarity. Fuckin' grow up! I pop in here to get away from all the crap elsewhere but if you lot want to drag this place down too, then I guess I'm in the minority (as usual).

(Quote) .. more than! :p

Take a look at TinyCP; not sure it'll meet all your criteria though. I'd think 1-click migration is a non-starter, for example.

Just remember a wee bit of credit to @AntFish, who made this all happen. I'd tried to kick it off with a suitable domain name but he pushed LES into existence. Apart from my standard monthly fees to clients, I also work/impart information on a donat…

I've just installed a new VPS with Almalinux 8. What a fiasco to get there! Debain 10 bootstrap CentOS 7, then Elevate to Almalinux 8. Thanks OVH for making your new upgraded VPS range more restrictive i.e. no ISO booting. Reason for Almalinux now, …

(Quote) Yep, the reason for me giving up my Atom dedi. ;)

Need to redo your poll - 1st option you've put in as the title.

(Quote) It's substantially different (syntax) in some key areas but if you don't use those specific functions in your code, then you'll not be impacted. osCommerce and derivatives were/are impacted - the reason for still making 5.3.29 (Cloudlinux) a…

(Quote) You need to drink more coffee - no mention was made of IP protocols!

(Quote) Upgraded my 2 instances a couple of weeks ago and it went very smooth. Just follow the instructions. ;)

I only spent a buck, never used it and don't regret it. Take Care @martijnk

Still need a proper purpose for my (bridged USB resistor) 1B lurking behind the TV. I remember getting totally pee'd off trying to get a suitable mains adapter and USB hub.

(Quote) Indeed. My bad.

CSF - manually setup the GUI.

Remembering now, I have used a LiveCD to reinstate grub. Thankfully, it's rare to need it these days and as previously indicated, I'm more likely to just reinstall Linux Mint, using the latest ISO.

Yay! https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=fix+grub+ubuntu&ia=web ;)

@cybertech I can't emphasise enough my recommendation to at least have a separate home partition! You can reinstall Linux to your heart's content and as long as you don't format the /home partition, you will retain your settings & data. (Even …

Note that I've been doing this dual boot crap for well (bad?) over 20 years - yikes! Too many fdisk /mbr, fdisk fix bootrec, partimage... Windoze Report Card reads: (Quote) I dread every time I need to boot 'doze, as it runs yet another protracted…

@cybertech You got me curious: sudo grep grub /var/log/installer/syslog Jun 16 19:47:26 mint grub-installer: info: Identified partition label for /dev/sda3: msdos Jun 16 19:47:27 mint grub-installer: dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remo…

@cybertech IIRC, I just install to the MBR i.e. /dev/sda . Modern distros can cope well with UEFI and all the enforced Windows crap. To be safe, I turn off Secure Boot/Fast Boot in 'doze. Take written notes (I have a small notebook for this) on how …
-
If you create/keep a separate partition for /home, then you'd likely find it quicker to just reinstall the linux distro, choosing not to format /home. The alternative is to boot a rescue disc (or the linux install disc, breaking out of the installat…

Have had a pretty good 9 months with them. :'(
