Hardware embargo seems to be working great!

This is the version I setup just yesterday. Much simpler setup than the AIO. The AIO controls Docker to manage its collection of containers.

Shitty ass thin client running cheap hw that can’t do anything, a.k.a. Chromebook.

First and foremost, get the suggestions from good sources.

Then read the suggested command and learn what it does. Look up what each part is. Then look up that command’s documentation (via manpages - man command). Do that enough times and you learn enough bits and pieces to build a good picture of the system.

This is how I learned. Took me about 5 years to get enough knowledge to feel fairly comfortable in the OS.

The other way to do it is to learn the basics in a structured way, like a course, tutoring, a book. These days I teach my knowledge of Ubuntu to colleagues at work who come to our project, which requires it. I sit them down for several 1:1 study sessions, 4-8 hours total. They come out fairly proficient afterwards and more importantly - able to reliably expand their knowledge.

And when they do, you take care of it. Also, if you use Tailscale or equiv, you can stop Syncthing’s exposure to the internet. Then you can stay on a fixed version across clients and limit unexpected breakage that comes with autotomatic updates.

Build a Syncthing Android apk yourself. You don’t need to update to every release. I’m still using 1.30 with 2.x.

Is there difference in how much storage space is needed between the two approaches?

It’s pretty jarring how almost every mainstream media conversation on Iran or Venezuela doesn’t mention the sanctions as major contributor to the plight of the respective people.

How does this compare to redarc? It seems to be similar.

Ramp-up capacity and let us buy some on Ali.

Umad Microslop?

This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. Can’t cross 91% lib scan even if I delete the music lib and then upgrade. Even turning on debug logging doesn’t reveal anything helpful. Rolling back to 10.10 for now. Will attempt again when they force me to upgrade.

Good note.

I seem to be suffering from this issue. Lotsa spam in the logs and the scan job doesn’t seem to be moving. The next attempt would be, revert, disable music lib and upgrade. Then deal with the music lib separately. But I’ll let it run another 12-24 hours.

My god what a shit show.

It’s all normal though. Software development is hard and big changes mean more regressions. You do the changes when needed, then you work on squashing the bugs.

Library scan still going here. At least something is spinning because one CPU thread is pegged to 100%.

I do. It could be this:

After the migration it is recommended that you perform a full scan through the admin dashboard. We have observed that for some users, some elements might not work properly otherwise (e.g parental ratings). As of RC8 a scan for missing metadata may be required for music libraries to function properly. The first scan after the migration might also take quite a bit longer than usual, though subsequent scans should be as quick as before.

From the release notes.

The last messages in the log are from music lib scanning. I’m leaving it be for now.

Fucking hell. OK, I’ll upgrade again and wait longer. Mine’s ~15TB.

I do have a large collection and I haven’t checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.

Just upgraded from 10.10. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.

E: Couldn’t finish lib scan. Reverted to 10.10.

Now that’s a very good question I hadn’t considered.
