ive had two SSDs die. both were before i started heatsinking them all. now i have like a dozen around the house and none have broken. just as a rumor, the sk hynix brand ones are highly regarded for laptops as they seem to run a few C cooler than the others. I think when SSDs die, 98% of the time its the controller chip overheating, not the actual nands. but the sk's seem solid

im sure they're 400,000 pounds cause brexit, but i buy latitude 7490s for shittops. i've picked up a couple for friends that needed a cheap browsing box, and i have one with maxed ram and a big ssd that i threw ubuntu on purely as a "haha this is my linux laptop" gimmick. never paid more than 200 usd for em. 8th gen i5 or i7 (i always i7), nvme slot, lots of ports, good keyboard, good enough 1080p screen, 8h of browsing if the battery's in ok shape. Nice little beaters.

or you could do what i did and grab a decently spec'd chromebook, flash coreboot to it and enjoy. i got a 10th gen i5 with a 11" 4k hdr10+ oled, stylus/touchscreen/tablet mode (supported by gnome and kde), 256gb nvme ssd for $400 they are basically built for linux (since they run chromeos), so drivers aren't an issue e: gotta be careful wrt ram though, lots only have 4gb. both of mine only have 8gb, it's basically the only thing i wish i could improve about them (well ok the m3 model only has a 64gb emmc ssd, but there's a microsd reader built into it so its fine) Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Apr 9, 2024 |

What distro should I run on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W? It needs to be headless and not waste precious resources on a bullshit GUI. It also needs to come up in a sane configuration on first boot, and uh, how do you do initial login without an ethernet jack? I don't have a mini HDMI cable on hand. Maybe I can stuff wifi credentials into the microSD card when I flash it? It has a Broadcom wifi chip, so I assume that will be non-functional or suck with anything other than the official Raspberry OS. Is that right? I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to use these for, but logging in and compiling code would be a good start.

lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth lol https://blocksandfiles.com/2024/04/08/ixsystems-no-one-is-getting-marooned/ quote:Kris Moore, SVP for engineering, told us: “Upstream has shifted. So first of all, ZFS, that’s kind of the heart and soul of TrueNAS and was for FreeNAS as well. Most of that [development] work takes place on Linux these days; features testing, all that happens on Linux. FreeBSD is the thing you port to and you’re done. So that momentum has moved.” quote:BSD aficionados don’t like this change. Moore said: “Talk is cheap and complaints are free. You know, everyone loves to complain about it. But … if people wanted to push FreeBSD forward for the last 15 years, they would have.”

I have burned out a few SSDs at work. SLOG devices take the entire sync write load of a file server. With NFS, that's a lot of writes.

maybe openwrt again? lol if it's an 802.11ax broadcom chip though, forget it. openwrt doesn't support them and won't be able to until broadcom open sources some driver that will undoubtedly have less functionality. you might indeed be stuck with the official distro e: oh it's b/g/n? old enough that it might work then. hell even netbsd might Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Apr 9, 2024 |

If I can get all these devices running on Vanilla OpenWRT, that would be convenient. Plus I'd have the ability and motivation to maybe fix bugs. For example, I just noticed my GL-AR750 is not properly shutting off the wifi chips on boot when you have the radios disabled in the config. If you toggle the radios on, then off again, idle power goes down by 0.3W (20%!!). If I have full sources and a working build system, I can probably fix little poo poo like that. And yeah, b/g/n is fine for my needs. Less fine is crap like periodically dropping the connection, long weird pauses, etc. It's for low-speed machine telemetry + some occasional SSH interactive stuff.

Yeah, I have another ARM board with more memory for my build host. How is Gentoo for headless, light-duty server service? This board has 512MB, which seems like a lot, but maybe not in 2024.
