Pixel is still one of the best options overall despite other Google enshittification. There are plenty of ways to move away from Google defaults without changing the OS. If that's not enough, you'd still benefit from their software support. Third party OSes like LineageOS and Graphene can use Google's updated sources and binary blobs for driving the hardware during the same 5-7 year support lifespan. As a result those OSes should be able to run securely on a Pixel at least till the end of its official support span.

Slow SSD issue. RAM is for chumps.

Don't go for the big stick right away... 😂

I really tried a month ago and failed after running into a few issues. I'll try again once they release full support for extensions for mobile. That should bring NoScript sync between desktop and mobile.

Am a monthly supporter of Mozilla so that makes me feel better.

Ugh.. I have specifically been irritated by this change. It literally takes me more operations to get to a page from my history or bookmarks. It's straight up counterproductive for me.

If this is a Linux based OS, a reinstall is rarely needed. There are many ways to migrate it from an old drive to a new one. Cloning the old one to the new and expanding the main partition to occupy the extra space is one. A cleverer way would be to move it to LVM so that next time you'll have options for expanding by adding more drives. If the new drive is double the size, you could clone, boot from the new then setup LVM in the empty space, migrate the OS to it, then boot from that, followed by reclaiming the cloned space and adding it to the LVM.

There's nothing particularly wrong with running it in a VM as you suggested either. Or you could run the new install in a VM then install it in the server once ready.

It does and I used to briefly run a ZFS pool on a Pi 4 in 2019. I only abandoned it due to a nasty deadlock bug that I think got resolved sometime ago. Non-ECC RAM shouldn't be significantly worse than using say MDRAID or Btrfs with non-ECC RAM.

Fan-tastic! 🤭

I think they still make the older ones if you want something middle-of-the-road.

Flawless victory! 🙌

This thing will make a blazing fast encrypted ZFS NAS with the 2 full-speed USB 3 ports and crypto extensions.

I'm only using Pi 4 hardware:

  • OpenWrt gigabit routers with SQM, multiple locations
  • Home Assistant Yellow
  • NAS with RAID1 (mirror), deprecated

That was about normal since saltwater is absolute hell on just about anything made of metal.

OMG, salt in the moisture in air around and inside light and precise metal parts, year round, my brain just connected these dots and felt pain. 🤯😬
