Fedora 38 released a few days ago. Debating a clean install on my desktop instead of an upgrade.
I've tinkered with so much crap, I just want to start clean.
My dad installed it on release day and I got it up the day after. So far so good.
I can upgrade right now.. but I want a clean system.
but i was also lazy about organizing my dot files of some applications I want settings saved for..Only myself to blame. I guess upgrade it is today.
Did you make /home a separate mount point? If so, just formant and install on the current root.

No, but I had a separate mount point for documents and some things...

https://ubuntu.com/blog/no-more-dhcpd
https://www.isc.org/blogs/isc-dhcp-eol/I saw the news about dhcpd a while ago. I haven't taken the time to mess with Kea yet. I suppose dhcpd will truly be dead when it's no longer in the RHEL repos

Drobo finally dead
Drobo, having stopped sales and support, reportedly files Chapter 7 bankruptcy
You don't hear nearly as much about Drobo boxes as you used to, especially on sites like Ars Technica. We now have some news, but it isn't good.
StorCentric, the holding company for the Drobo and Retrospect brands, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late June 2022. Now, AppleInsider reports that, based on an email sent by StorCentric, the bankruptcy shifted from reorganization-minded Chapter 11 to liquidation-focused Chapter 7 in late April.

I kept being sure it was dead, but checking the website and finding it still around, but they hadn't made a new product in... a decade? Their NAS never got to the point that it could handle NFS because it didn't have enough RAM!!
Like, a Raspberry Pi 1 could do that!
-
ArsTechnica callsed it a "NAS that wasn't a full NAS", I think they aren't aware of the term SAN. lol
-
That was really Drobo's downfall, making a Windows-based consumer SAN product that promoted anti-best practices as a selling point.
