Oh, thanks for pointing that out. It’s been a while since I needed to erase a disk so I didn’t realize DBAN isn’t really a thing anymore.

You could also use DBAN to perform the erasure from outside the operating system.

In case anyone is curious and doesn’t know, “Do Not Track” was originally a proposed Internet standard from 2009-2018, but was never formally adopted by the W3C. Its successor is called Global Privacy Control (https://iapp.org/news/a/is-gpc-the-new-do-not-track/). I’m guessing that Grafana is playing games by saying there is no technology standard for DNT, because technically the new standard has a different name. I wouldn’t consider a company that plays semantic games like this to be trustworthy when it comes to privacy.

It’s definitely an interesting hypothetical. Some homelabs that I’ve seen run crazy enterprise gear and are certainly capable of running thousands of very small containers, while others are running repurposed consumer equipment or SBCs like Raspberry Pis with less computing power and RAM.

Of course, in a self-hosted or homelab environment, there would be little utility to running that many network or web services. It would be a neat experiment, though. Seems like the kind of thing that Linus Tech Tips would attempt.

I mean, if you have around 17 million containers running services, maybe.

There aren’t many benefits from using IPv6 on LAN, as far as I can tell, unless you need more addresses than are available in the private address ranges.
