It was actually a sad day when we powered it off for the last time

No, it died not from the reboot.

It died because it’s life had no meaning anymore, after you had taken all the workload off it.

I use Debian as my daily driver

Chances are that you would find Ubuntu not just more complicated, but unneccessary complicated.

Stay with Debian. It can do everything.

Can you upload by any other means, or does it always require it’s own upload mechanism?

Any suggestions?

Yes:

Do not play stupid games with surge protectors.

VPS bad!

Can’t put your rings of garlic around it.

The answer is 42.

To be precise, I think that it does not “both fail and finish”.

You get the success message a little late, and some job control has decided earlier that it has failed, when in truth it just took longer than expected. The ‘fail’ message comes from this job control, while the ‘success’ message comes from ZFS itself.

the system waits for about half a second

Guess it should wait just a little longer at this point.

On topic OK, but that event was 3 years ago and they call it ‘today’, ha ha, and the rest of this post is also more holes than logic. I won’t watch your youtub on top of that

You are completely right, my apologies.

OMG it’s even an AI bot.

What a wonderful rant!

UPS for 1-2 minutes.

They won’t find my server ;-)

Feds are coming

…most important: I am not inside Usa.

Yes. AI agent that doesn’t even identify as such. A shame.

Look at this solution. Works even without electricity!

Is this just from an AI agent testing it’s abilities of posting nonsensical nothingness?

This description leaves many holes. So either someone succeeds with guessing, or you need someone to interact with you for analyzing step by step what’s really going on there.

My guess is that you need to use the right user on the right system, because “env” exists only in the context of one certain user on one certain (virtual or real) system.

You should use the AGM variant (if lead batteries at all)

But do not use the “motor” ones for a UPS.

But that was a good while ago. And it was not a cloud thing at the time it was popular.

There are many alternatives now.
