No need to call him Douchy but yes you are right. I am also very worried about the amount of non monetary data that will be on the chain. Just try and educate people to run Knots. I do think Umbrel should have Knots next to core in the app store as well.

Thanks for the follow up explanation. My comment was clearly about your first post which without any context came across more like a battle cry than an argument.
It is good that you are elaborating now but please do not act as if I ever took a position on Core or Knots. I did not.

it keeps giving me drive errors on a cheap Chinese mini pc but other computers worked just fine. So for me I think is just had bad hardware from the beginning, but I’m going to do some other things like move the whole umbrel docker container onto a different drive. I updated the OS in the background to Debian 13 ‘Trixie’ and it seems a little faster.
Maybe you should
Hello…this is good news.
Absent a 2 TB SSD (largest capacity I have is only 512 GB), I have a pile of 5 TB and 6 TB HDDs that I have laying around (formerly from my NAS over the years).
May I ask if there are any special configuration settings (other than BIOS/UEFI boot order settings and AHCI mode?) that I would need to make in order to install to and boot from an HDD? I have previously tried on a 5 TB HDD (Toshiba), but the Umbrel OS never boots from it, even after having checked the boot order in BIOS/UEFI.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
