Yes it’s not too much bother to set this up, it can be put into ansible and once working I’ve not had to touch it again. Here’s another dracut tool using dropbear that works well and has decent instructions on setup: dracut-crypt-ssh
The crypt-ssh dracut module allows remote unlocking of systems with full disk encryption via ssh
Stow/chezmoi/your choice for dotfiles, config mgmt for system config. You don’t need to rebuild whole server to start with ansible tho, you can take over one file at a time and grow as you learn.
As you’ve found I don’t know of a tool that will cover both usecases as config mgmt for dotfiles is too much and dotfile mgrs for system config is probably out of their scope.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Having trouble upgrading Fedora from 41 to 42, plus WiFi problems.

That rpmfusion package looks like trouble, can you uninstall it or all of rpmfusion before upgrading? I also see internet problems here also so you might be better off fixing that first.

appealing to regulators and competition authorities to scrutinize Google’s proposals, and for developers and users to put pressure on politicians.
So I think these are preferred avenues of action right now.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which of the 3 standard compression algorithms on Unix (gz, xz, or bz2) is best for long term data archival at their highest compression?
7·7 months agoUpgrade from compression tools to backup tools. Look into using restic (a tool with dedup, compression and checksumming) on a filesystem which also checksums and compresses (btrfs/zfs) - that’s probably most reasonable protection and space saving available. Between restic’s checks and the filesystem you will know when a bit flips and that’s when you replace the hardware (restoring from one of your other backups).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Change behaviour of 'application not responding' notification? (SOLVED)
6·7 months agoTry this:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter check-alive-timeout 10000
Value is in ms so 10000=10s. You can also set it to 0 to disable.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodesEnglish
2·7 months agoSorry re-reading my comments it’s not super clear what I meant: nowhere else in the table do they take account for the ‘hidden’ on-going maintenance of looking after a server/self-hosting. So this is the only row where they address ‘cost’ and I just thought it’s a bit optimistic to say replacing all of Spotify just costs a one time server setup and storage. I think you’re saying this row was only meant to indicate financial cost and I agree it’s basically accurate from that meaning. However this is only the ‘initial’ cost. For example a self-hosted server and storage will eventually have to be replaced whereas Spotify will just keep replacing their own servers and that’s already baked into the price of your subscription (caveat: that Spotify price will rise over time).
It’s not a big point really, maybe I’m nitpicking.

2·7 months agoI see what you’re saying but nowhere else in that table is cost mentioned. Below the table they say maintanance is minimal. If you’re already looking after storage, containers and server(s) I guess that could be true.

331·7 months agoAuthor says “one-time server setup + storage” but there are a few moving parts and always updates to handle so I’m sceptical this could be truly called ‘one time’ (or any selfhosting). Time will tell I guess. I enjoyed the article though and gave me food for thought.

2·7 months agoMarkor is great! It’s a small thing but I like its one tap to mark a todo done in markdown list. Often make lists then walk around with my mobile checking things off. Syncthing keeps it all up to date.
p.s. I didn’t know about those features either so thank you
10Gb is not a big file relatively speaking - both ext4 and btrfs (for example) can handle 16TiB and larger. If this was your only reason for choosing exFAT then you can definately migrate.

Synching will create a conflict file when this happens. Nothing is lost but a user must look out for these files and merge manually.
KeepassXC has its own merge logic and will happily absorb changes to a file on disk whilst open. However if two offline machines both change a database then you will get a conflict file and will have to ask keepass to merge them.
