Have they ever not been?

Yes, that’s what I meant, thanks for the clarification.

I tend to use /opt/[service]/, like for example /opt/forgejo/. It’s outside of any user’s Homedir and it seems to fit into what the FHS 3.0 (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) defines.

Very much this.

'cause it was quarter part eleven on a Saturday in 1999

To answer your questions, I work on the Bash, because it’s what’s largely used at work and I don’t have the nerve to constantly make the switch in my head. I have tried nushell for a few minutes a few months ago, and I think it might actually be great as a human interface, but maybe not so much for scripting, idk.

Hmm, no, very mamualian.

It’s been a while for me and i can’t try things out atm, but i think vSphere SSH access is only for managing the appliance itself, not objects like VMs in a vSphere cluster. For that, you would have to use the Python SDK or PowerCLI.

If you run VMware, you can use PowerCLI to interact with your vSphere servers, and PowerCLI requires PowerShell and uses similar syntax. I haven’t tried it on Linux yet, but I would assume that that might be a valid use case.

+1 for Fractal Design Node cases. I’ve used the 304 (it’s Mini ITX, Mini DTX) for years as a NAS case and I love it!

Maybe a stupid question, but is the thing you did fundamentally different from Devuan?

Don’t they have Constable as well?

I run a J5040 ITX board for my homelab needs, which has been released a few years ago and has served me well, even through I run it with more RAM than the board specs allow. The natural successors of that are the Atom N100/N105 and the i3 N300/N305 (all 1 Gen newer than J5040) and AFAIK the Atom N150 and i3 N350 (2 Gen newer), all of which are available on ITX boards. Models for the latest chips might be a but rare though, and you might have to go to AliExpress to get one, but for the N100/105/300/305, there’s a wide variety available. Just make sure to get one with enough SATA ports for all your disks, so you can use it for NAS as well.

Disclaimer: I’m quite sure this is enough for your homelab/NAS use-case, but I’m not familiar with Minecraft requirements, and you might need beefier hardware for that. However, the above boards leave enough room in your budget for RAM, NVMe and HDDs, should deliver quite some bang for the little buck you have, and will barely sip energy, making cooling easy.

I’m not much of an expert on Bluetooth, but I would expect that you can create an override for the corresponding Systemd service (bluetoothd perhaps, or some Logitech daemon) and make it depend on a Target that is reached earlier in the boot process.

Sorry that I can’t be more helpful…

Interesting option, I’m familiar with Git, YAML and yq. Thank you!

Uuuuh, thank you for the info, it’s very much appreciated!

They interoperate though, so if you’re happy with using a mix of them, go for it.

Same goes for nala, BTW.

Well, I do have a PaperlessNGX already, so I could use a custom field for SerialNo or something like that, but I just feel like PNGX isn’t really designed for this task.

Not at all, I like .md, and I’m familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an .md…

Thanks, that sounds really nice!

HA, the term I was looking for is even on their website: “Asset Management Software”. My non-native speaker ass didn’t come up with this.

Thank you, I will check those out.

Though it sounds interesting for tinkering, I’m probably not doing down the NoCode route. You make it, you maintain it forever, and I don’t have that kind of time.
