It’s not good at letting you know when a disk is borked. And normally if you reboot a mirror with a bad disk, it will complain so you know to fix it even if you missed the log entries about it being down. Btrfs will quietly just let you boot into a potentially lethal situation for a mirror with a bad slave.
And there was something about scrubs that was janky as well
For a workstation, btrfs is probably fine. It’s the shits at software RAID, but that’s rarely a thing on a workstation.
Look at btrfs-assistant for adminstration. That’s what Fedora ships with, I think it uses Snapper in the backend.

So set the books up in a collection, and add each book. RSS the collection and each book shows up as an episode. I wouldn’t want chapters as episodes, that would be annoying usually.
Since they’re different applications entirely and you wouldn’t use the same client for each, I use Calibre as a kasmweb docker image for ebooks and enable OPDS for it to hook up with my FBreader app. Audiobooks are done with Audiobookshelf and outputs an RSS feed for Antennapod subscription.
I’ve ran email servers for 30 years, I think I got it cased, but thanks for your input.
Every time I’ve tried Kubuntu it’s been a mess. Though it’s been a couple years since I subjected myself to it. It’s still going to use Snaps, so there’s that.
If they want bulletproof and up to date, Fedora KDE.
Fedora KDE is what I’ve settled on for the last couple years. I’ve used Linux a very long time, this setup has been completely painless since I installed, and always very up to date.
I’ve been using Linux for almost 30 years, and I agree with you completely. There should be a plethora of tools to organize SSH hosts, but unfortunately none of them are great, or at least I’ve never particular gelled with any. I just remember the hostnames and what user I happen to use for each, and copy my keys around, because I jump around between a lot of computers.
I did use SSHwifty for a while because then I could just jump into a browser and go to a webpage with all of them. Dunno why I got away from that, it was handy.
Konsole has an SSH Manager plugin you can enable.
Breaking things.
Debian will probably install from stone tablets if you find the right ISO.
It’s still Fedora under the hood, but Nobara has a pile of graphics tweaks to enable video editing and gaming, by the developer of the Proton layer that Valve uses for Steam. It’s optimized for high end graphics and nVidia cards.
What’s a model you could stuff the most RAM into? I’d like a 4th Proxmox node I could replicate to and take offsite, but I don’t need a pile of redundant storage on it. Something I could get 128Gb into would be awesome.
Isn’t it Debian without systemd? So it’s going to be a pain to use regular documentation.
IME, NCP was very simple and easy to set up. I used it for years until the AIO docker came along. But that’s not appropriate for a Pi in my estimation. Though it might be fine on a Pi, it’s certainly how I like to run NC, and I’ve used every method of running it over the last decade.
If you start up the content server in Calibre, you can connect to it with any OPDS compatible ereader app.
There’s a dead man option.
If I get hit by a bus, then the passwords for the things that my wife needs to settle things gets sent to her, and the infra isn’t something that I maintain and could be down.
Worth $10/yr, by far.
The issue last time I looked into btrfs mirrors was it’s poor reporting of disk problems and letting it boot with a borked drive. Might be fixed, but that was a 10 year old unresolved bug at that time. Seemed like a WONTFIX and I didn’t need that for a server OS drive.
