Sounds awful lot like Citrix...

They already have a forever mouse - its called Logitech MX518 - at this point its over 18 years old, and beside some small paint deficiencies it has no other issues. And it was used quite heavily - it survived years of intensive button mashing in Diablo2 and many other games...

Taking a sip of Rum and chuckles at the look on the name of my OS partition: /dev/mapper/vg-root and /dev/mapper/vg-home 🙃

You see only binary. I didnt said its communism, I said its not free market capitalism, if the state can devalue your money by half with a single action (why do you think basic groceries cost double since 2020 ?), and its not a free market capitalism, when they impose 50% tariffs on anything Chinese regarding EVs and stuff around https://apnews.com/article/biden-china-tariffs-electric-vehicles-solar-254546e92f823a78220c195a0a42a10e

They dont buy their currency, they print promissory notes, that they will repay the debt, in exchange for money. And if you still believe that US can once repay its debt, you are delusional... Especially now, as China and many others are trying to get rid of petro dolars...

Why not use just a regular generator with that windmill, which would generate electricity for you, probably more efficiently, which you can use for light, heating, or whatever you want.

There is many tutorials and how tos, this is quite nice one:

BTW some filesystems like btrfs and ZFS already have a similar functionality built in...

Well not really, cloning is much easier than reinstalling and then configuring everything again...

I have LVM set up from the start, so usually I just copy the /boot partition to the new disk, and the rest is in a LVM volume group, so I just use pvmove from old disk to the new one, fix the bootloader and fstab UUIDs, and Im ready to reboot from new disk, while I didnt even left my running system, no live USB needed or anything. (Of course I messed it up a first few times, so had to fix from a live OS).

But once you know all the quirks, I can be up and ready on a new drive withing 20mins (depends mainly on the pvmove), with all the stuff preserved and set

There were no real reasons to reinstall it, it works fine, occasionally had to purge some config files in home for some apps after major version changes, or edit them, but most work for years. I mean, my mplayer config is from 2009 and last edited 4 years ago...

$ head -3 /var/log/pacman.log 
[2009-04-04 12:40] installed filesystem (2009.01-1)
[2009-04-04 12:40] installed expat (2.0.1-2)
[2009-04-04 12:40] installed dbus-core (1.2.4.4permissive-1)

I installed my Arch on Desktop in 2009 and it was just cloned from one disk to another through multitude of PCs, and sure, there were occasional troubles, like upgrade from SysV init to systemd, when KDE plasma 4 released, or the time, when I had to run a custom kernel and mesa which supported the AMD Vega 56 card ~month after release.

But nowadays, I didnt had a single breakage for several years, my RX6800 GPU was well supported 3 months after release, and most things just work... BTW I run arch also on my home server, in 6 years it had literally zero issues.

Why do you use minio for image serving ? There are much better ways to do so. Nextcloud, Immich, Photoprism and others...
