You could just run it in a cron and have it tee to a file or even send an email report

That link above has a check list of sorts to help in the identification.
I was running the numbers in my head and realized that if hosting media like music and video files where it's just written to once and read from a lot, a large 2.5 inch SSD might be a better buy than a HDD (especially if size limited to a 2.5 inch HDD). My reasoning is that a HDD needs replacement after around 50,000 power on hours. But an SSD needs replacement depending on how often the entire drive is overwritten. For a media server that should mean that the HDD will be replaced much more often than an SSD. And that's without considering vibration related issues of having multiple drives in the same server or if you experience frequent power outages (both of which would make a better case for an ssd.
So what I do is I use an M.2 SSD for the OS, and the largest 2.5 sata SSD I can find which will fit my storage and backup solution. (recently bought 4x 8TB SSDs). For the m.2 drive, try to get the best value size as I've never heard anyone complain about having too big of a drive.
For all SSDs (m.2 and data) make sure that it accurately reports SMART data for you can keep tabs on their health metrics.
Can someone link this in some way that doesn't require a google sign in?
Btw, we're better than Google.
My amature guess is that it's turkey tail (Trametes versicolor)
It might help if the tree its found on could be identified
That dragon is broiling that turkey, not baking it. Dragon broiled turkeys almost always burn.
That's awesome. Although I can't recommend Ubuntu for noobs anymore
Just a local community college.
It gave me an excuse to stop living with my mentally and financially abusive mother and talk to people that were genuinely interested in things I was into.
This is something a close network of friends could also helped with, but I didn't have that at the time.
Thank you, I find this therapeutic.
i also have an hp envy; https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/5818425?baseline=5818425 is it wise to get rid of windows and just install linux on it?
Yes, this is the preferred way as dual booting will lead to windows eventually messing up something on your Linux Partitions, and linux dosent need special hardware. However if you load up a USB stick with live images you can boot into Linux from the USB and test out the distros on your hardware to be sure it's working before installing.
I recommend the following
- backup your data on any disk connected to the PC you want to install on.
- install ventoy as it will allow you to make a multiboot USB that supports UEFI. Then all you need to do is load the USB with isos and boot into it either through your BIOS or a boot menu before windows starts.
- just incase, you can also try to clone your windows install with clonezilla so if you need it you can just load it back up.
- download any distributions you wish to test. The ones you listed are fine but i would also recommend an arch based distro like EndeavorOS
- to try out distros without downloading, putting them on a USB and booting into them, you can try distrosea to try them in a browser.
Yeah, you'd have to figure out how to define a "problem" first. It's a better IDE to define what metrics might indicate you need to replace soon before a problem actually happens.
