Well, good news then: lvm comes with most modern linux distros. In fact, it is an option you can enable when installing linux mint.

I use it on every system that I run (workstations and servers) and never had any issues.

It really just makes partition management way easyer: With normal partitions you cannot grow any partition without moving all other partitions after it. LVM can do it without touching anything else.

The best case for semthing like this is when you buy bigger ssd. You can copy the data with dd and then grow any and partitions that you want without hassle.

I recommend that you take a look at LVM. It can help you manage your partitions without much planning beforehand.

It seems to that it works. I don’t get any web-scrapers hitting anything but my main domain. I can’t find any of my subdomains on google.

Please tell me how you believe that it works. Maybe i overlooked something…

Of course i get a bunch of scanners hitting ports 80 and 443. But if they don’t use the correct domain they all end up on an Nginx server hosting a static error page. Not much they can do there

I use good ol’ obscurity. My reverse proxy requires that the correct subdomain is used to access any service that I host and my domain has a wildcard entry. So if you access asdf.example.com you get an error, the same for directly accessing my ip, but going to jellyfin.example.com works. And since i don’t post my valid urls anywhere no web-scraper can find them. This filters out 99% of bots and the rest are handled using authelia and crowdsec
