nicman24

i think it does with the latest version

that most likely is kpatch. kexec is a bit different but not really

On Linux kexec is reboot without rebooting

wasn’t zfs deprecated from the installer in ubuntu server?

android x86 and qemu is pretty good

Usually adding a slash at the end works if the protocol is http based

nothing as home does work (meaning plain hostname) works by default on openwrt dns

Raid5 (well raidz1) has saved my ass multiple times. Just dont forget to also raid your efi and swap partitions

If you want to host on a vps use linode it was auto install scripts from community so you won’t have to use the term

honestly it is good to start with and for controlling machines like an array of 3d printers but a dumpster dive laptop will be faster. RPI4 is quite old now.

with that done:

• jellyfin
• smb server
• syncthing
• tftp with wake on lan / clonezilla to backup your other machines

nah laptops in the last 5 years have features like that so you dont need to worry about all that. most have them in the bios too so no weird software needed

i prefer the laptop due to impossibility of a brown out / blackout affecting it. it is basically an active ups

a cheap second hand laptop will be both faster and will have better wattage and what is basically an internal UPS
