Seconding the other person asking which model you’ve got. I don’t see Linux compatibility listed on the web pages for the few models I just looked at. I also didnt see them list an included dongle, but thats something I’d be very interested in. Also do they all detect as Xbox controllers, or only the Xbox style ones?

I’ve been vaguely planning on using btrfs in raid5 for my next storage upgrade. Is it really so bad?

like this?

I’m planning on getting some recertified Seagate Ironwolfs from SeverPartDeals very soon

How would you get through the install though? Are there any simple solutions without any graphics output?

What if I’ve never built a headless system and am afraid of not having easy access to a GUI?

Thanks for the response! I’ve had my eye on these Onn devices for a while but haven’t looked into any of that stuff yet. I need to replace this old pi3 soon though because I’m tired of dealing with it not decoding h265. The new Onn ones even support AV1 from what I’ve heard.

Has anyone done a deep dive to know for sure that it isn’t full of spyware and bloat? I’m weary of anything I can’t flash a new OS to. Or maybe they can be loaded up with a different community maintained OS?

From what I’ve read both arch and debian stable aren’t vulnerable to this. It targeted mostly debian-testing.

Understand that many people live their entire lives without caring one tiny bit about any of those things.

Braindead take

Doesn’t Trash Guides prefer larger files though? Iirc if you just do everything as they recommend you’ll always be grabbing the highest quality stuff available, which is the opposite of what this person wants.

I really love “Sarah Shook and The Disarmers” as well. They actually go by River Shook now I think, but the band still uses their dead name.

A bit more on the folk side than country, but “Nick Shoulders and The Okay Crawdads” is one of my absolute favorite bands these days. They just put out a new album too and I can’t recommend it enough.
