I use Magisk but I have also heard about APatch or KernelSU. What do you use and what are the benefits of it?

I want something that has a WebUI, can show in a graph like the CPU and RAM graph for this day and maybe some days before. Also I would like to view what was running at any given time (I mean from 2-3 days before to now).

Is there any (FOSS) software that does that?

Thanks.

Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don't know if that is small or large.

How big is your collection?

Recently, my 10-year old drive that I pulled out of an old computer died. I want to buy another one now. The machine will run Jellyfin (I have an existing collection that I will be transferring from another drive), Immich, and the *arr stack.

I have this motherboard which has one SATA port and one PCIe x1 port. For this reason, I won't be able to add a second drive for redudancy, unless I add a PCIe to SATA card.

My biggest concern is that I want the drive to last. I don't want much capacity, I think 1-2 TB is enough. My budget is from 0€ (of course) to 65-70€.

So I have a couple of questions:

• Should I buy an SSD or an HDD?
• I live in Greece and ServerPartDeals is not an option because shipping is really high. Do you know a place where I could purchase it? (Preferably in Greece, but not necessary)
• Do you have any specific drive suggestions?
• Is there any other way (except for buying a PCIe to SATA card) to add more drives in the motherboard?

Thank you.

be me

serverless supervisor

in charge of making sure the serverless environment is in fact, serverless

occasionally have to check if it's really serverless

one day, find out there are actual servers being used

serverless environment is no longer serverless

ask my boss what to do

he says "just make it serverless again"

I say "how"

he says "I don't know, you're the supervisor"

quit my job

become a servers supervisor

first day on the job, go to the new server room

it's empty, serverless

OK, so, I have a couple of questions:

• What's the worst that can happen if I don't use a VPN while pirating?
• Are free tier VPNs (like Proton VPN) good enough?
• I don't want to pay much or anything for a VPN, is a way I can get a good free one, or set one myself somehow (I have experience with selfhosting) ?
• If not, which cheap one do you recommend?

EDIT: I pirate mostly movies, and rarely some TV series.

For me it was:

Windows (for many years) -> Ubuntu (for a year) -> Arch Linux (for half a year) -> Void Linux (literally 2 days) -> Artix Linux with runit (a month) -> Gentoo Linux (another month) -> Debian (finally, I don't plan on changing it).

Also, when trying to switch from Gentoo to Debian, I fucked up all my data with no backup.

What was your journey?

EDIT: Added Windows

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play FIFA 17 on his computer. After 5 whole hours of troubleshooting we were able to get FIFA running smoothly with some issues. Next, he wanted to play Roblox. I guided him through the process of installing Waydroid and libhoudini, only to discover that Roblox would run at 10 FPS. With Minecraft, it wasn't any better. It took us 1 hour to get it working (not skill issue, he wanted to play cracked through Prism Launcher). Now, he wants to go back to Windows 10. I have already told him about dual boot, but he has only 256GB of storage and he wants to play a lot of games. What should I do? Install Windows to his laptop, install some other Linux distro, or try to convince him more about dual boot? Thanks in advance and sorry for the essay.

UPDATE: Of course I will help him install Windows on his computer if he wants so, I don't want to force him to use Linux after all. I just wanted him to give it a try, and maybe daily drive it, if he can.

EDIT: Because for some reason it was misunderstood, let me clarify it here. Roblox ran with poor performance on Waydroid, not Minecraft. I just said that the installation of Prism Launcher cracked was difficult. After that, Minecraft ran smoothly without any problems.

Hello everyone,

I am running some services like Jellyfin, Radarr, QBittorrent, Jellyseerr and some others on my Raspberry Pi 4. The problem is that it is already struggling to run those, since it has only 2GB of RAM. I wish it was possible to do a RAM upgrade to the Raspberry Pi but the RAM is soldered to the motherboard. I don't want to buy another Raspberry Pi with more RAM because they are quite expensive and I don't want to have two of them. So can you recommend something for around or under 100€?

Thanks in advance.

I wanted to install Debian Linux after a weird journey with Gentoo Linux. My partition layout is this:

• Boot Partition (512 MiB, mount at /boot)
• Swap Partition (4 GiB)
• Root Partition (~80 GiB, mount at /)
• Home Partition (~170 GiB, mount at /home, LUKS encrypted)

While trying to preserve the home partition, I think I clicked 'Configure encrypted partitions' on the Debian installer and then set a password for it (the same that it had before).

Now, I can unlock it like before, but after it is unlocked, no utility recognizes the filesystem (ext4) and the file command reports it as being data:

# file -s -L /dev/mapper/home
/dev/mapper/home: data

file on the encrypted partition returns the following:

# file -s /dev/nvme0n1p4
/dev/nvme0n1p4: LUKS encrypted file, ver 2, header size 16384, ID 3, algo sha256, salt 0x590d84c0e8397ad0..., UUID: c5ff37db-11f7-4ccf-8869-c4bc22648202, crc 0x345f75d85c9f444a..., at 0x1000 {"keyslots":{"0":{"type":"luks2","key_size":64,"af":{"type":"luks1","stripes":4000,"hash":"sha256"},"area":{"type":"raw","offse

(This is the complete output, it cuts at offset for some reason)

My luksDump output is this:

My guess is that I re-encrypted the already encrypted partition. Also, I noticed that the UUID changed. Can anyone help me recover it? Thanks in advance.

If you need more logs, I will happily provide them to you.

I don't use Reddit anymore, but I wanted to search something that I couldn't find anywhere. This is what I saw. After killing all the other apps, Reddit now is trying to force us to use their own spyware app.
