  • The major issue is to complain to/about your provider, not mess around with the workaround solutions.

    That said once you have the list of packages, you can download them on your phone and seamlessly transfer them to your pc with Syncthing.

    Have a look at dnf-automatic to do downloads only. I’m not sure how many retries it allows.

    There is also the option of limiting your bandwidth on the PC so that it doesn’t choke.

    Ultimately the ISP has to provide a working service.

    If you have a look at the btrfs mailing lists post that introduced RAID1c34, they were created because RAID56 were not considered viable or fixable. It’s in couched language but reasonably clear. I don’t think you’re thinking of using those (RAID56) but don’t.

    Never had any btrfs problems that weren’t self generated or date from a really sticky period in btrfs’s history (years ago, 4.13 or maybe 3.13). I’ve used RAID56 until RAID1c34 became available and RAID10 where I could.

    Haven’t tried LUKS - btrfs though, although effectively no worse than putting btrfs in a VM (which is fine if slow at the time), albeit a bit more computationally intensive.
