Funny. I just gave away my desktop with that same chipset & CPU. It was a really good hardware generation.

No plans for a replacement in the near future.

Same. Moved from OpenWRT through OPNsense to Mikrotik. The performance per watt and per dollar is great.

What are you saving on that drive? Many data file formats already have compression of their own and don’t benefit much from file system compression. So if this is for media files, for example, it’s likely to add CPU overhead without a big benefit in transfer speed.

ZFS is not installed by default with most Linux distributions due to its license. It’s something you install after the os. Btrfs should work, but I see some discussion online of 128 or 256MB minimum volume size.

Sorry. That is what I meant.

Zero zombies here. I have a couple of Debian servers and one repeatedly upgraded Ubuntu on noble numbat that I’m too lazy to migrate to Debian. None have zombies.

Do you run a DE? Mine are headless.

Ha! Mine’s the same! My job was dumping them and said take it if you want it. A v1 TP-Link TL-SG105. I don’t think I’ve used mine in at least 10 years but I can’t bear to throw it away.

Classic blue 5-port gigabit switch. Chef’s kiss!

These things will be with us until the heat death of the universe. Still chugging along.
