  • Don’t use Timeshift. Copy what files you need from the old drive to the new one with the new system running.

    If all you’re doing is moving drive to new system, move it and boot that sucker. Linux has all the drivers in the kernel and will boot on anything

    However that’s not what you’re doing. For changing drives, if you can’t just clone your old Linux drive(can’t because it’s dual boot) then just do a clean reinstall and copy over what you need. A hassle, maybe, but you’ll avoid merging things from the old system and the new.

    As a general rule of thumb, if you move your entire home folder or Timeshift, it’ll restore a bunch of stuff you either don’t have installed on the new system or it’ll overwrite something you need. Best to do it clean.

    Also I wouldn’t bother with the Raid 0 personally because it just introduces slightly less performance for basically no benefit in your case. So you can lose an SSD and still boot - is that really a priority when you could always boot USB or windows for recovery? I’d map the second to like /mnt/steam/ and put your games there for a dedicated Steam drive for increased performance, and you can always reinstall all that.


  • Fucking Arch and Arch people.

    I don’t want to set up my whole shit manually from terminal, I want something that works. Go for help on the forums and they’re the most head up the ass unhelpful condescending clowns since Mac users. No, as it turns out, when my driver didn’t work and I asked for help, I do not know how to recompile my armpit hair from source. Bad suggestion.

    EndeavourOS is what Arch should be.










  • I use Caddy because it’s more secure than Nginx or Traefik. Keep everything on a separate server - my Lemmy instance is the only thing there, and that’s all you’re gonna get.

    My house is like a fortress, network speaking. I don’t mind so much about logs because you’d have to get past the firewall first. Which is logged. And significantly overbuilt.

    Past that, I don’t really care. If you manage to break into my home network and find my porn stash, hell mate have a copy and wank off, and get lost. Nothing in my server or devices would compromise me.
