Storage is cheap, these days.

https://imgur.com/U6P3Jkv.png This is my current overview. Five storage servers and the fifth has three open slots (currently marked damaged) for which I have three 18 TB hdds ready. The two last 8 TB discs (marked 7,3 TiB) have been marked for removal because I'm phasing them out: they will be rep...

Just to be clear: this is my personal storage solution and I'm not a company. If you're wondering why I need so much space, keep in mind that high-resolution video takes up a lot of room...

Code: Select all

sudo apt install zstd

This will install zstd in Debian and allow for zstd compressed packages to be processed correctly.
That being said, please do not install Ubuntu packages into Debian. Chances are it will not work and you end up with a so-called FrankenDebian system.

It is a command that requires root privileges, so either a root crontab or a user contrab with sudo and then you need to change the sudo configuration to require no password for commands like systemctl and so on.
visudo and then:

Code: Select all

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl

You have two errors: (1) the shebang must not contain a space between #! and the path to bash. Suggestion: since not every linux has bash on /bin, use /usr/bin/env bash instead. (2) when using single brackets like you do, a variable should be enclosed in double quotes to allow for an empty variable,...

For more involved conversions, CLI ffmpeg is the ticket. For simple conversions I use Mystiq Multimedia Converter as a graphical frontend. It's not in Debian repos but the MX Linux 21 version works perfectly in Bullseye. Mystiq is in fact in the Debian repos: 20.03.23-3 900 900 http://debian.netcol...

Memtest is for RAM: memory. Bad blocks marking so they are not used is for hard disks, not for memory. If memory is faulty, it needs to be replaced.

I use apt/apt-get/aptitude. I'm not a big fan of other package management systems like flatpak, snap of appimage. Why? Because they are not checked for embedded maliciousness as thoroughly as the Debian repos are. It's almost the same as the apps in Google Play. Any developer welcome, you can upload...

There are no inherent dangers for any Linux if you use a hard disk that came from any Windows system en simply repartition it. Nuking it isn't necessary, but will make sure that nothing of the data originally on that disk survives. But you needn't worry. Even if the Windows filesystem had files infe...

The dpkg-queries yield a long list of kernels in my system, so I suggest the following changes:

Code: Select all

current_kernel=$(uname -r|cut -d '-' -f 1)
...
new_kernel=$(dpkg -l linux-image-*.*|awk '/^ii/{print $2}'|grep -v -e $(uname -r|cut -f1,2 -d"-")|grep -e [0-9]|cut -d'-' -f3)

Microsoft has Bing as a competing search engine and it has been for years. So what is this about?

Bloom

If this is the Microsoft 365 e-mail solution, then it may not be possible. It used to work without problems, but Microsoft announced last year that "for security", they would stop supporting standard protocols for mail like IMAP4 and POP3 and demand that Outlook and only Outlook be used fo...

Unattended upgrades only update bare necessities, they're not like regular updates. Read the documentation.

The amd64-microcode is for an AMD microprocessor. If OP is running on an Intel cpu, it's useless.

Audacity has been removed from Testing. Stable has 2.4.2-dfsg0-5 and Sid has 3.2.0-dfsg-1.

You only need apt-key if you want to add a third-party repository to your system. For Belgians, it's usually the EID repository from the federal government.
If you don't want the warning anymore, a quick fix is this:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /etc/apt/trusted.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/

Since they're both Linux systems, my advise would be to use NFS as it's much faster en more reliable than samba... Samba is intended for using a Windows network share. Don't use it between Linux systems.

Disclaimer: I've never run a server so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Fail2ban is useful for a server because it stops brute force attacks for cracking logins, but it won't stop DDoS attacks.
