It looks like there will not be a power outage soon (purely random guess, based on not too much experience).

So I'll boot up my nuc and hopefully there will not be a power outage so screw up my filesystem

Wait, what? I thought hetzner is already super cheap. I got 2 vcore 4gb ram for less than 5 usd per month. And contabo makes it cheaper?

Did Germany have some secrets on how to make super cheap servers?

Meanwhile, me thinking if I should buy an ups instead of buying more ram.

It's raining. The thunder rumbles, and let's see how long it takes to make the first power outage in my area.

Generally speaking, Beijing is a well developed city. But it's not the case if your area has more than 50 years of history and nobody wants to touch it.

Well... I never thought 16GB RAM is not enough.

Not sure what to backup. Set up the duplicati to backup the following folders to backblaze. Let's see how much it cost.

Did you see the `use` at the end of the toot? It's my input method, it;s buggy. But it works fine when I want to type Chinese.

A typical black start problem: You need to download a proxy program to access the internet, but you need to be able to access Github first to download the proxy program, and you need to use the proxy program first to access Github.use

Somehow the tailscale can't connect to my DE server using IPv6, and now all my traffic is routed through fra relay and it's sloooooooooow

so the latest pcr-oracle breaks the fde-tools. Looks like the maintainer has already updated the code and now it's in the factory. According to the wiki, it should be available for tw in a week?

Anyway, have to wait now.

installing opensuse. This is a quite different setup. LUKS with LVM, never used lvm before. I think there is some overlap between btrfs and lvm?

Bios update

There is a licenesed windows installed by default. Definitely don't want to waste that.

And samsung pssd is sooooo fast. Clonezilla can run 19GB/minutes.

Oh lord, now I need to figure out which linux folder to backup. Apparently, unlike windows, you can't select everything.

Current list:
+ /home
+ /root
+ /etc
+ /usr/local
+ /opt
+ /var/container-data (the folder I prefer to save container configs, those mappings)

Or should I just take a snapshot of my Btrfs and upload it to the cloud?

That's the worst part. I like gnome over kde, but ahh, just give me back the good old icon tray.
