Shops for repairing rpi

I have a rasberry pi 4. Recently the sd card slot's clip came off and now I'm unable to put sd cards in. Do you know any places in Kerala where I can fix this. I don't want to try soldering myself so as to not mess anything else :D

beginner friendly linxu distro?

I want to move away from windows because they are literally pushing ads into a paid operating system lol. So can yall recommend a beginner friendly distro? By beginner friendly I just mean stable and less likely to break from me messing with the terminal.

I made a simple ansible playbook to install mastodon using docker gitea.com

To use it, follow the readme to set up ansible and an ssh connection to your server. Edit the varibales in var/main.yml and run the playbook with `ansible-playbook roles_playbook.yml -K`. Also check out the lemmy and pixelfed docker installation playbooks.

Why use BTRFS over ext4 | BTRFS for dummies

#### BTRFS is a copy on write filesystem (COW) Unlike journaling file systems like ext4, BTRFS does not overwrite the data when it is modified, instead it writes the data to a new block and changes metadata to point to the latest version of the file. This provides better protection against power failures. #### Snapshots BTRFS offers fast incremental snapshot creation and tools to backup and restore. ## Creating the file system and btrfs partition ```shell parted /dev/nvmexxx Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) mklabel gpt (parted) mkpart primary btrfs 4MiB 100% (parted) print (parted) quit ``` after the partition is created, create the btrfs file system on it by running ```shell sudo mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdxy ``` ## Mounting the partition Temporary mount with ```shell sudo mount /dev/sdxy /mountpoint ``` ## Show info about the btrfs To see the UUID, size, usage of all btrfs disks. ```shell sudo btrfs filesystem show ``` See detailed disk usage ```shell sudo btrfs filesystem usage /Subvol ``` ## Creating the subvolumes To create a subvolume called data ```shell sudo btrfs subvolume create /mountpoint/data ``` ## List all the subvolumes To create a subvolume called data ```shell sudo btrfs subvolume list /mountpoint/data ``` ## Mounting the subvolumes to make the mount permanent, edit the '/etc/fstab' file ```ini UUID=DISKUUUD /MOUNTPOINT btrfs defaults,noatime,commit=120,compress=zstd:1 0 0 ``` {: .nolineno file="/etc/fstab" } These are mount options for the root subvol - noatime : Do not modify metadata on file read. Reduces disk writes. - commit=120: Time interval for writing changes to disk. Default is 30. Reduces disk writes. - compress=zstd:1 : Filesystem level compression. Reduces disk writes. ## Create a readonly snapshot of a subvolume ```shell sudo btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /data /data/.snapshots/name ``` ## Copying snapshots to other drives using send, receive Send and receive is faster than rsync. The destination must be also btrfs. ```shell sudo btrfs send /data/.snapshots/name | sudo btrfs receive /mnt/backupDISK/backup ``` ## Restoring from a snapshot and make the snapshot writable Copy the snapshot to the target folder. ```shell sudo btrfs property set -tsf /data/snapshot ro false ``` ## Creating backups of your snapshot on a remote machine ```shell btrfs send -p /data/ /data/.snapshots/new_snaphot | ssh root@ip "btrfs receive /mnt/backups" ```

I am interested in the declarative specification aspect of it. Basically your whole Operating system in a config file.
