  • What kinda thing are you thinking of? An actual photobooth kinda box?

    You could usr an Android tablet, install Open Camera (from F-Droid) and that has the ability to take (for example) 4 photos with a 10 sec delay… videos too…

    Then use syncthing to copy those photos to something else (your phone, a NAS, etc) before it gets trashed / accidentally wiped, etc…



  • Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉

    Personally, I’d go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.

    (I did something similar with WinXP years ago… eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)



  • This is the way.

    There’s nothing worse than finding your DNS/DHCP has gone down and it’s a VM / container running inside a server that can’t start because it doesn’t have an IP address and you can’t resolve names to get the thing started.

    Break things down into chunks that make sense - to you.

    I have dedicated (low power) hardware for the interweb firewall / DHCP / core network stuff.

    I have a NAS for storage with all the backups / reinstall images on (so I can rebuild the firewall if there’s no internet, for example)

    Then I have everything else in a single server.

    Sources: a house fire, water leak & many hardware failures & borked upgrades over many decades.
