Having recently switched my daily driver computers to Alpine Linux, and the performance and computing enjoyment gains being fantastic, I have found the performance on some applications, Zola specifically, can be quite drasticly poor. Here's what I did to solve it. (It's a very simple solution)

Even when GPT (GUID Partition Table, not the slop thing) didn't exist, I never thought I'd need to deal with and handle the limit of a 2 terabyte partition size on an MBR/DOS formatted disk, it just seems such a huge size it would never be a factor. But, here we are, in 2026, and I have had to deal with this exact issue.

I've come across many articles about how to join a linux system to a Microsoft Active Directory domain and they all work more or less with some tweaking. This is my article, here describing my own processes for doing it, trying to explain each bit as it comes.
