I've been playing with commercial VMs the last few days. First playing
with Digital Ocean, then playing with Linode.
I like Linode better.
First, their "Debian 12" seems closer to the real Debian 12 than is
Digital Ocean's. Also, though Linode's cheapest VM ($5/month) is a
little more expensi

I have been using ZFS professionally and personally for over 10 years. I
have also been an internal maintainer for our linux variant's
modifications for our company's product. ZFS is not perfect. There are a
lot of things I don't like about it. There are also a lot of things

While ZFS's *syntax* is different from say LVM + ext4, in *practice*
it's quite simpler:
zpool create tank /dev/sd

You're welcome. You might want to peruse Aaron Topponce's ZFS on Linux
essays. The original site has gone offline but it's ar
The only other caveat about ZFS that I will offer is that it apparently
performs VERY badly on SMR hard drives. Stick to CMR drives or SSDs for
your RAID setup.

I've been a Linode customer and I believe you have to use the kernels that
they have modified for Linode. There may be a process to create a system
image with a compatible kernel but then you get into issues when it's time
to upgrade.
Linode has the greater resources anyway so battling against syst

I admit it is a matter of taste that I find zfs ornery. It is trivial,
but I find it annoying that I can't use mount to mount a zfs volume.

Oh I found what you were talking about. Digital ocean is partnered with
sendgrid.
... lol so digital ocean is out unless you use a monitoring method that
does not user port 25.
Any recommendations for monitoring without port 25 ? NewRelic ? Scripts ?
