@phpmacher Andere verschrotten in so einer Situation den PC und kaufen neu (Behörden *räusper*).
Für alle anderen, die gerne rumprobieren, gäbe es da noch Netboot.xyz (https://netboot.xyz/). Einfach alle möglichen Linux Distros, nahezu blitzschnell, aus dem Netzwerk booten (PXE). Mit Anleitung sogar Windows. Benutze ich recht häufig auch für RAM Analysen oder Secure Erase Zeug. Da gibts eigentlich alles, was man sich so vorstellen kann: DBan, Arch Linux, CentOS, clonezilla, FreeBSD, GParted, Kali, Proxmox, Rescuezilla, ShredOS, ... uvm.

Also most corp/org/edu networks only backup the $HOME
directory and sometimes even allow syncing them across distros & keep them across version updates, so all the settings, addons and stuff remaib where they are: in said /home/
subfolders!
In fact most places with a sizeable #Linux-#Desktop landscape will just keep the /home/ directory on a redundant, #iSCSI-SAN and #netboot their #DisklessWorkstation|s via #iPXE, as this way burglars stealing devices most likely end up with a locked-down machine (anything but booting the preset network targets won't work without admin password!) that is a paperweight to them and espechally no data, which is crucial when it comes to #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec.
Cuz it's way easier to secure 1-5 server rooms than thousands of publicly accessible machines on multiple campuses.

@SweetAIBelle @OS1337
So instead of relying on some non-#reproduceable system images for cheap SBCs, why not make something like #OS1337 that is compact enough that one can easily build everything one wants for it to get at least started with something.
Sometimes one just needs to bood a system, check it's hardware and #ddrescue something off the internal harddrive because one doesn't have any other system that can run it...
@simsus nichts besonderes.
#iPXE kann NetBoot von HTTP(S) seit Ewigkeiten...
Tatsächlich will ich sogar @OS1337 per iPXE *#netboot|ing machen lassen...
@marc @kontrollierterWahnwitz Ich würd's bei größeren Setups es so machen wie meine Uni:
#NetBoot und dann "diskless clients"...
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskless-Workstation
@jackyan @stevendbrewer @Melissabeartrix np.
And for something like a #Library, #PorteusKiosk is an option if one doesn't want to do a complex #OpenThinclient setup instead.
Tho you can also #netboot Porteus Kiosk which is easier to maintain than discontinued #Windows + #SteadyState:

@warthog9 @kwf Granted, I doubt anyone's gonna #mirror OS/1337 anytime soon and I do want some fallback to enshure that if #GitHub were to ever pull a #DockerHub, nothing would impact the end-users...
But that's more of a hypothetical as of now.
Still I do find this insightful and yes, if I had the €€€€€ upfront to get it started I would've lilely offered people #upcycled #ThinClients and #MiniPC's as cheap #Servers long ago - it's just that #Colocation amd Hardware ain's free...
I'll keep that conversation in mind.
After all, any #netboot #infrastructure would require me to setup classic #mirrors anyway...

I'm confused, did nobody ever network boot an #Apple #PowerPC #Macintosh w/ #OpenSource software and #Linux by just holding the N key? #OpenFirmware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0IUCiDCd9Y #netboot

Had my first encounter with a cool tool combo this weekend; #pixiecore + #netboot.xyz.
pixiecore is an all-in-one tool for network booting machines -- https://github.com/danderson/netboot/tree/main/pixiecore
netboot.xyz is a boot image that allows you to network boot a huge variety of systems without having an ISO downloaded, on-hand, and on a USB -- https://netboot.xyz/docs
Combined (`pixiecore quick xyz --dhcp-no-bind`) you can boot any OS installer or diagnostic tools without preping an ISO. Easy to run in #NixOS as well!
Today's "in case you didn't know" link is purely technical wizardry. If you do anything at all with OS installations (bare metal, vms, really anything) you probably want to know about https://netboot.xyz
It is a net-bootable menu of TONS of installers, tools, live cds, full distributions, etc. It is self-hostable, and it even works on ARM64!
Cheat code: Get into an iPXE shell (in a VM just enable netboot and hit ^B when prompted) then run dhcp
to get an address, and chain --autofree https://boot.netboot.xyz
to boot the menu (pictured)
