Do one thing and do it well…or compete with one of the largest computing firms in the world to develop a 💩version of commercial software. Captivating…

Set up split tunneling for your torrenting program only.

Fuck around with proprietary software and find out.

Let’s get Radicale!

Holy crap, you’re me. Except I plan on using slidge-whatsapp.

MPD and whatever terminal MPD client you like.

So many answers!!

First it was from planets from Ursula Le Guin’s Hainish cycle.

Now it’s the names of birds visiting my feeder: chickadee, titmouse, mockingbird, etc.

HBA in IT mode.

Got it, thanks.

Why are people still doing hardware RAID!?

Porcoolpine from SimplyNuc. That product line is fanless which is key for me in the HTPC environment with a flat screen. In the “home theatre” I have a projector with a fan so it doesn’t matter.

It uses the Calibre database but isn’t a frontend per se.

Thanks for clearing that up.

As far as I’m aware, Calibre-Web serves are web front-end for calibre. I think you might have to install plugins manually on the desktop version, but it should be active when importing a book over the Calibre-web, especially DeDRM.

Fascinating! Where do you order the lenses? I’m in the US and I can’t find a place that is cheaper then Zenni where I can get my lenses and frames for <$20.

btrfs or zfs send/receive. Harder to do if already established, but by far the most elegant, especially with atomic snapshots to allow versioning without duplicate data.

Can’t argue with that.

And enables modular workflows and flexiblity.

I wouldn’t think so. 5400 rpm drives might last longer if we’re specifically thinking about mechanical wear. My main takeaway is that WDC has the best. I would use the largest number available which is the final chart which you also point out. One thing which others have also pointed out that there is no metadata included with these results. For example the location of different drives, i.e. rack and server-room specific data. These would control for temperature, vibration and other potential confounders. Also likely that as new servers are brought online, different SKUs are being bought in groups, i.e. all 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf. I don’t know why they haven’t tried to use linear or simple machine learning models to try to provide some explanatory information to this data, but nevertheless I am deeply appreciative that this data is available at all.

Backblaze reports HDD reliability data on their blog. Never rely on anecdata!

Ah, thank you for explaining. I understand where you’re coming from. Nevertheless, from the point of a view a small NAS, RAIDZ1 is much more space and cost efficient so I think there is room for “pets” in the small homelab or NAS.
