Not sure on MergerFS…I haven’t gotten deep into ZFS pools.

What ZFS are you using?

“As of November 2023, this feature was merged in main and is scheduled for release in OpenZFS 2.3:”

'The OpenZFS project (ZFS on Linux, ZFS on FreeBSD) is working on a feature to allow the addition of new physical devices to existing RAID-Z vdevs. This will allow, for instance, the expansion of a 6-drive RAID-Z2 vdev into a 7-drive RAID-Z2 vdev. This will happen while the filesystem is online, and will be repeatable once the expansion is complete (e.g., 7-drive vdev → 8-drive vdev)."

Awesome! Interesting with MTU. This was a first hit google search, seems MTU in wireguard setup plays a role also. https://gist.github.com/nitred/f16850ca48c48c79bf422e90ee5b9d95

It may not even be the issue, I’m just spitballing, and it maybe DNS issues like others mentioned or cell provider blocking some aspect. As you probably know Wireguard can be set for all traffic to route through the tunnel, or some outside of it. Maybe cell network is not routing DNS through the tunnel, but using its own, or maybe they used a cached Domain name lookup that doesn’t have your domain IP. Again, networking/DNS etc is my blind spot. I.e. I have setup openmedia vault on a 256MB RAM arm board to serve my music and SMB shares, but I don’t understand reverse proxy LOL.

I don’t have a lot of networking skill here, but could it be your WiFi connections (anywhere) are IPv4 and on mobile it forces IPv6, thus why you can connect via IP:port? Typically your wireguard host machine has IP forwarding/masquarading setup so you can reach your home LAN. Could this be an issue through the router / proxy?

There was an openSUSE suggestion, just a note that default install adds a lot of packages, at the preinstall summary you can click the software title and unchecke patterns you don’t want, or go into further detail and check/uncheck single packages. You can make OpenSUSE as minimal as you like.

I assume being the extreme level coder dev types that program logic all day start seeing life has black and white, and generally humans are not like that.

Yeah, I was going to leave it for the joke, but changed it.

I can’t answer the main question, but anecdotally I find different distros work differently on different hardware. Like one laptop I have will not install, or if it does install it won’t boot, any Debian based distro, but RPM based is fine. There is some bios bug or quirk that fails with deb, but rpm distros acknowledge and move on. So sometimes distro hopping can help.

We have somewhat similar in Canada, not as dreadful as USA, but still what you would say anti-knowledge.

I saw this in gradeschool, kids actually trying to learn and better themselves were bullies and labeled brown-noser losers.

At University the Uni newspaper editors would dumb down articles purposely, since they thought the general reader may not understand the topic fully ( which defeats the purpose of knowledge articles ).

And random times. Some guy talking about making his tent lines taut, and the rest laughing saying you mean tight. And him saying , no tension on a rope or cable is taut, tight is for fastening bolts, etc. Then everyone being “yeah whatever idiot”

And overseas teenage relatives visiting , knowing 4-5 languages, and saying “Sorry, my English is not the best” and me trying to explain it is way better than half of the coworkers I have who only speak English. And then trying to explain to a teenager that these full grown adults have no desire to learn correct terms, grammar, spelling or punctuation.

Trying to read my wife’s family’s facebook posts is like a course in stroke cryptography.

• Has it ever worked on that PC?
• Do you have pcscd installed?
• Are you using a USB-A yubikey with a USB-C adapter?
