I am running BTRFS Raid 6. i have no problems with it. You need a UPS to avoid transient errors.

I would recommend move to BTRFS or ZFS. Easyer and safer to work with.

I use pihole with DNS over https (my ISP intercepts my non encrypted DNS queries) works great for me. Both in LXC and Raspberry pi.

What issue are you trying to solve?

This i need to try!

Low effort question, get a low effort answer. Google do still exist. :)

Okay, imagine your computer is like a big playground.

Linux is like a really cool, free, and super customizable manager for that playground.

• Manager (Operating System): Just like Windows or macOS, Linux is the main software that runs your computer, manages all its parts (like the screen, keyboard, and internet), and lets you run other programs (like a web browser or games).
• Free: Most of the time, Linux doesn’t cost any money to use.
• Customizable: Unlike some other managers that have strict rules for how the playground is set up, Linux lets you (or people who know how) change almost anything about how it looks and works. This is why there are many different “flavors” of Linux (called distributions or “distros” like Ubuntu or Mint), each with a slightly different setup.

In short: Linux is a free, open-source operating system that gives you a lot of control over your computer. Many phones (Android is based on Linux!), servers that run websites, and supercomputers use it because it’s powerful and flexible

Yes I use AI

SNMP monitoring can give you a realtime visualize all the device connected to a network, different subnets, etc, and show the flow of data for each network device.

You write that you need help. From the questions it sound like you need experience. You may not like my answer.

BTRFS and ZFS are very similar, try them out figuring out.

Try LXC if it doesn’t work for you, use standard VM.

There is nothing wrong with have all in one machine, one VM per service or a hybrid.

There is nothing wrong with using a WLAN as long as you accept the consequences of that.

I think you should try it out and get some experience, what is the worse that can happen? You learn something and try something different.

Do you want to use desktop app or systemd timer?

How can I be sure that my traffic is routing to the Wireguard VPN?

Use ‘tracepath’.

Temporary bad, and old news.

If you are happy about the Heatit - Z-Wave - Z-TRM6 , why not get more?

Do love the detail summary.

If you desire to be able to config via text file is not to strong. You can use https://github.com/librenms/docker

I have no problem running it with raid 5/6. The important thing is to have a UPS.

It doesn’t say anything about encryption.

How will a community remain private when federated? Will it not be shared with the admin on federated instant?

Yes it is.

Sadly its a hammer for a task that need a scalpel.

I wanted BcachsFS to succeed. ATM it looks like it to unstable for production use.

I hope the BcachsFS have a module layout so other FS can use a well integrated and intelligent caching.

Think you need to prefix it with Skyss :P
