This was exactly what I wanted to post… 😅

Yeah… Which customs? I can just step in a car and drive trough multiple countries without ever needing to show my passport.

Oof, imagine seeing this when standing on the moon, knowing there is no home anymore, and having a limited oxygen supply…

I think your idea is pretty much correct. One step that might be missing is updating your boot loader to boot into the correct partition, depending on your configuration.

That’s probably the issue, crontab has another workdir, so calling the script with a relative path won’t work.

Just use the full path to the script, something like /home/username/folder/directory/backup.sh and it’ll probably just work.

Yes, this! I don’t plan to let my kids watch it on a young age.

I’ve got a pool of a collection of harddisks, mirrored. Performance is pretty decent considering the slow disks.

Oh having lots of available memory helps too, the ARC does a good job caching data, so the more the better.

I’m using zfs on arch for a few years now.

No issues with the filesystem at all!

The only thing I’m noticing is that on some ocasions I can’t run updates if a new kernel has just came out; the arch repo doesn’t have the zfs modules for the new kernel yet. Usually a day later I can run updates without an issue.

I partially agree. But on the other hand I like the convenience.

Example: I need to enable ntp client on a machine? Just enable and start the service and done!

Yes, but that’s something anyway;

• DM’s are unencrypted and stored in the database.
• If the instance owner decides to pull the plug it’s all gone.

So by joining an instance you’re putting trust in the owner of the instance either way.
