So after some troubleshooting @nixos_org is finally installing on my home storage server. I had to manually format my drive with GPT partitioning table and keep swap unselected (I'll try to enable a swap file afterwards).

It probably doesn't help that I don't have a wired mouse (and the wireless one we have doesn't register apparently? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

Now for a little snack and see how far it has progressed then 🫣

Just got a Mac Mini from 2006, was thinking of turning it into a basic entertainment unit for films and such. Looking for ideas and advice on this project.

Today a had a revelation that reduced 3 #LinesOfCode from one of the #scripts of #autorotate_sam (I still need to push the change to the development branch of https://codeberg.org/RyuKurisu/autorotate-sam )

So after reading up on #filesystems, I've attempted to put #UDF on my microSD. Whilst it is best known as the filesystem on CDs/DVDs, you can put it on USB storage devices as well. It does have some caveats when you do (you have to jump through some hoops to have the best compatibility¹).

I've tried to do it manually, but this¹ script did the job (it wasn't verbose about it); next step /etc/fstab
