Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mundane stuff for the most part.

  1. New releases for Alpine and Void.
  2. Newer packages being added to Void.
  3. Hoping for a Black Friday sale at Racknerd.
  4. Bug fixes to Node-Red.
  5. Flexible scaling of storage in ZFS.

I haven't tried it personally but I found the link somewhere https://racknerd.com/blackfriday

I thought about going with them but I chose Hetzner instead.

It's here! Thank you.

Hetzner's reliability is starting to be questioned, and their verification process seems to be a pain. In not going to put critical loads up there anyway, so I suppose it's fine. Thanks
