You wouldn’t even need sudo. Just suid the binary.

Daft dude!

This is great for business users!

It really is!

I do run wireguard on my router, but the main reason is ad blocking, not hiding services. Most services are publicly exposed.

Not sure if irregular booting is still an issue, but that sounds a lot like device names changing between boots. If I could hazard a guess - you’ve got something like /dev/sda in your fstab, where ideally you’d have UUID=1234-ABC. You can get the uuid by running

blkid | grep sda

Get a used one off ebay or something. No way anything new will be worthwhile in this price bracket.

Isn’t there a difference between public and private companies?

That’s not binary search.

Just want to say you’re not alone. It matters to me, too!

What was the old instance?

Never had this. It’s pretty much instanteneous.

That… Is literally how you do it. You install the system onto a subvolume. Or many, in fact - the way I do. Root, var, srv, home, opt all get their own subvolume. Only boot stays as a separate partition.

Save it in a file. It’s just text. You can even use a GUI text editor!

Is this at a webserver level?

I’ve only ever been told that perl is a write-only language :D

I realise this is an older thread, but it could be caused by deleted files not being released by the application - a reboot or killing said application would help. Can be checked with

sudo lsof | grep deleted

It can also just be corrupt metadata about a file where a small file is seen as taking up some ludicrous amount of storage. This thought was triggered by you mentioning the thuderbird sent directory. Inspect the files there.

Use this.

The short of it, I’d say, is “it’s whatever you make it to be”.

I’d suggest sticking esp on /boot for now as it should be a fairly widely accepted default. You can always rework it later.
