You’re overthinking this. You don’t need an actual VM for services. Containers are fine. If you’re worried about security, go down the Katanor gvisor rabbithole, but you definitely don’t need an entire OS and VM running for simple services.

There’s no reason containers can’t be hardware accelerated. I’m confused by what that statement means.

Uhhhh, why?

Why would you try? Are you saying proselytizing is something people should be into? I would hard disagree. It’s not for everyone, and it’s more specific to a subset of people who have time to bother.

Those were just made up brands, but you can see what I mean if you look through Amazon, eBay, Alibab…etc.

From your own tool you can see these brands stand out:

Some extra context: https://news.risky.biz/risky-biz-news-acemagic-mini-pcs-shipped-with-pre-installed-malware

‘AceMagic’ AKA ‘AceMagician’ AKA ‘AcePuter’ AKA ‘AceMini’ depending on your market.

Well, if you have your preference, go with it. The base thing is to stick with a company with a solid reputation that was a warranty and isn’t disappearing overnight.

Then just go with the warranty. Good brands are obviously well known: Cooler Master, Corsair, TerraMaster, Orico, ASUS…etc.

Just go with a well known brand with a warranty.

I didn’t have an issue.

One of the few Looney Tunes from this era that doesn’t have any incredibly racist or misogynistic things happening 😂

Nice, but I wish there was a “Reputable Brand” or “Warranty” filter.

A lot of these boxes are made by the same OEM, and branded a thousand different ways under various names specifically for price fixing on large marketplace portals online - different colors, different cases, but same features without a warranty.

A lot of these fake brand names come out of companies who simply change names once they hit a certain number of bad reviews on marketplaces. Same shitty hardware, different brand name. Beelink and Minisforum are legit, but ‘KingHive Pro’ is probably made by ‘MiniKing’, and also sells things under “GamerKing”, for example.

Yeah, you can do that as well. Just mentioning that DD isn’t the simplest way to achieve what you want.

There’s nothing wrong with using DD for this, but unless you’re sure of the geometry of the new SSD, you may run into issues. The size of your new SSD needs to be exactly the same size or larger to fit the existing partitions of sdc since you’d be doing a block copy. Get a slightly larger drive to be safe and you’ll be fine.

Honestly, DD is hard mode for this. Use a cloner that checks these things or shrinks partitions beforehand to prevent issues if you decide to go with a 2TB SSD.

You don’t mention what you want Nextcloud for specifically, but it sounds like you really just want a NAS for the most part. Off the shelf brands like Synology and Qnap are great, or you can get/build a box to host FreeNAS or TrueNAS.

This streamlines what you intend to do and skips some extra steps.

The service is using the default config, which you can override by creating this file.

View the package contents to find out where the default config is located.

You can find lots of guides online, but the official docs have it: https://fabricmc.net/wiki/install#cli_installation

Mint is Ubuntu, so any directions for one work for the other. You’ll probably find more hits if you search for Ubuntu if you get stuck.

Still not Klepper and Wood, but they are getting better.

They did pull a couple Klepper bits here, like the mic control bit, and the “Some people say you are X” to Stephen Miller’s face, but overall it was way better than their others I think.

Nope. I’m actually fully correct. The docs explain exactly how that works right there, so go ahead and read up.

I’m reading your words. You are not reading or comprehending the docs. I wasn’t offering a solution. I provided the docs that explicitly stated how it works and why. Why you decided to expand with nonsense and “doubt” is beyond me.
