That’s insane. I would consider a ipv4 -> ipv6 cloud hosted haproxy style setup if this was my only option.

i would just ask for an Ipv4 address. I asked Vodafone for one and they just gave it to me for free.

Ahh. Bone Apple Tea moment.

This reaks of chatgpt. All the way down to the milktoast ending.

I do most of my cad stuff on openscad and I will say that is impressive!

Particularly since the openscad language is purely functional and side effect free.

It’s ok. I would go with “user hostile” in this case.

Fair. But in that case best use a more appropriate word.

I get not being a fan but no toggle switch. But in this case it literally isn’t “enremovedtification”. Is it anti choice? Yes. Is it enremovedtification? No. Enremovedtification does not just mean “thing I don’t like”.

Here is a quote that describes what enremovedtification is:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enremovedtification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market”, where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

I know “Enremovedtification” is the Lemmy word of the year but you can’t just call everything you don’t like enremovedtification.

This clearly isn’t it.

I agree that’s why most of my systems run btrfs. (Maybe soon bcachefs).

But XFS is in the same tier of “datedness” as EXT4, just with more performance. Some apps like ScyllaDB actually require XFS performance crazily enough.

Btrfs or XFS.

No idea why people are into EXT4. XFS is more performant by far.

SSHFS will be incredibly slow. I would avoid it personally.

NFS will be performant and is easy to set up. This being said by default NFS is without any security.

The problem is that Kerberos is a huge pain to set up. I would avoid this unless you really need Kerberos.

If you want security NFS + WireGuard will serve you well.

Also I would consider Samba/CIFS if it is for local convenient fine access. It’s not super secure but for me it’s a good trade off.

You can fix this by manually placing the /boot partition outside of luks when you do your install. I did it and now my opensuse system boots in a reasonable time. Annoying to do but 100% worth it.

It because zypper is incredibly slow. They’ve been slowly working on the features needed to make it faster but they haven’t come together yet. I would guess early 2025.

Spotify isn’t really a podcast app. Just a proprietary streaming service. Podcasts by definition are media files delivered by RSS and Spotify isn’t that.

Same thing happened to me. I ended up finishing up the upgrade in Sway. Not a great user experience, but it wasn’t a huge deal for me.

Just think of the NAS like a desktop that you ssh into. The only difference is that you install the server version of the distro. If you know how to use a desktop Linux box and configure it via the command like you can do so with a server. It will be the same except over ssh.

Hardware wise, normal desktop parts are good enough to build a NAS. You don’t need to buy anything special that is NAS specific. The only exception might be the case. If you want a lot of storage the case should be able to accommodate that. Some desktop cases don’t have 3.5” drive slots anymore.

I would think that any immutable linux distribution would be suitable. Just configure it with the services that you want. Is there any special need that you specifically need?

Good but slow. Zypper has nice features but for some reason it can only download one package at a time. There is a GitHub issue about this that has been around for years.
