Why mix docker and VMs? Isn’t docker sort of like a VM, an application-level VM maybe? (I obviously do not understand Docker well)

You know what everyone - What if I just move my testing into the home office where the computers are? I just thought of that. Then I would not need a separate machine.

Or at least be able to ssh into a linux environment.

Oh sorry, 10" 10 inches. Small enough to tote around, big enough to read easily.

Thanks everyone who has suggested this, I had not thought of SSH to my main machine or even my server machine for this. Good idea. I am not sure about a tablet though because I want a keyboard. Since I would be ssh-ing into a linux machine linux on the little machine is not a must anymore.

Those are good points. I am collecting my own data in a home environment. Did I say that it is important to be able to move the data to my production computer to send to the doctor?

Can you replace the CMOS battery with a supercapacitor that is kept charged? This should not need to be replaced every 4 years, I think.

You can check the CPU and memory statistics by looking at the files under /proc, but I was wondering how to get the file system capacity, so I looked at the df(1) code. . coreutils: df.c coreutils: fusage.c macOS: df.c Here is the code prepared to verify the operation of the library. Code to find out what df uses to output · GitHub For Linux On Linux, file system information can be obtained using statvfs(3). Although this is treated as a wrapper for the statfs(2) system call, it is basically recommended to use statvfs(3). (Via google translate)

Don’t remove the back door from your house, bar it with a sturdy 2x4 that holds it closed. Just be sure to use a 2x4 that is not made weak by the application of a specific chemical that only the secret bad guy knows about.

Well, at least it has a USB3 slot - you could put a NVME drive in a USB3 external case and boot that way.

I wonder if you can replace the storage element with something bigger. It might be a data drive or an M.2 drive. You could replace either with a bigger device.

… and hardware.

Would the Pi automatically set an APIPA address if DHCP was not available? If so he need only connect the cable, and ask each machine what their address is.

I am running Debian / KDE with a lot of KDE adjustments/configuration. Debian to ditch snaps, KDE because I can ‘adjust’ it to my liking.

KVM drawers are cool for homelab racks!

Perhaps if you broke your story up into chapters, each of those would be a more digestible chunk for the LLM?

The Germans also fell prey to Microsoft telling them that they would give them all the free copies of Windows they might need and build a new facility providing a ton of jobs in their area if they would abandon the Linux thing.

The city in question also built their own distro based on an older version of an existing distro rather than going from off the shelf.

Going for that “who’s on first base” vibe?

erase the storage and install

when I was dual booting, I found that as long as Windows was around even knowing how bad it was, I continued to use windows. When I no longer had to personally use windows for anything I went all Linux without problem.
