Re: internal drive shows up as removable. Removable usb stick doesn't show at all

Check bios, some have a removable hardware flag that you can set to allow them to be hot swap. Sata, SAS and U.2 NVME drives support this at a hardware level natively so the bio may just need to have a setting updated. On Tue, Apr 2, 2024 at 7:28 PM Jim via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlin

I run Nextcloud in the shared hosting that is part of DreamHost unlimited shared hosting. Its Apache but it works. I have nextcloud running on Nginx at work and it's very happy. Just have to not use the htaccess files. If you want a hand, let me know. On Wed, Apr 3, 2024 at 3:33 PM z via PLUG-d

Re: Wayland on Kubuntu 22.04

I am running Wayland on an arch derivative called Garuda Linux. It runs really well but I have a desktop with dedicated amd graphics. Previously on a Intel/Nvidia laptop with Optimus it worked fine until I tried to flip flop graphics for gaming and ended up having to shut off the Intel gpu and run

look at your PPA's and see if there is an update repo for them. you can look at your ppa config to check them. Anything that is not from canonical might need updated repo information. On Wed, Mar 13, 2024 at 6:41 PM Jim via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > Today I tried u

On my current system I am running without swap, but I do have 32gb ram. If you pick an ssd with a ram cache on it you don't have to worry about swap as much there. And you can extend ssd life with underprovisioning if it still is a concern. But in reality a good quality ssd Wil last for years even

Re: Why put Data Centers in HOT Phoenix?

Water tower evaporative cooling is super efficient in PHX due to the low humidity (if not the best for the water table) and because of the location and crazy reliable power grid (cheap too) and minimal weather/geological events. On Sun, Dec 31, 2023 at 11:14 AM Snyder, Alexander J via PLUG-discuss

Re: Linux Basics

I loved Gentoo, It was an amazing learning experience and taught me a ton about how Linux worked and was put together. It also taught me what Linux really was and what a distro was. and the difference. I would not use it as a server or for my laptop/desktop. But I appreciated what it did for me.
