  • Have you ever had a 100% original thought? And if so, what was it?

    Jump

  • Yes. But I can't write it down or use any words to even attempt to describe it because then it wouldn't be "100% original" 🙄

  • All my thoughts are my own.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

  • And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

  • What's the longest amount of time you spent looking forward to something?

  • Setup a company who's job it is to maintain the data. They make money by offering the same services to others, but their main aim is the preservation of this 100TB. Only people passing stringent security checks will know of this special mission. Enemies from the future will be scared away by a sign on the door reading "BEWARE OF THE TIGER".

    They will run massive NetApp arrays and redundant ZFS pools. They will rotate disks out periodically and migrate onto newer technologies as and when. Backups will be taken, verified and tested monthly. Basically it's Backblaze but running for 100 years.

  • EndeavourOS: Our new ISO release is here, meet Mercury

    Jump

  • Been running EndeavourOS for a few years now and it really is the best desktop OS I've ever used. It's up to date, fast, always works, looks beautiful and an update is just a yay away.

  • What do you look for in a sneaker?

    Jump

  • I do my own sneaking these days. No need to hire someone to do a job you can easily do yourself.

  • CD archiving in 2025?

    Jump

  • Nowadays I see no reason not to use FLAC. I've not ripped anything less than 320 CBR mp3 for almost 20 years.

  • Which RAID?

    NAS for SAS drives

  • An HBA with the SAS cables should run to about £50 used.

  • 30 ft from landing in Boston from the UK in bad weather the pilot aborts the landing. Honestly thought we were all going to die, the plane was moving around so much and the run way starts just after the water. It seemed like we'd just hit the water or at least clip a boat. Ended up diverting and landing elsewhere where we sat on the plane for 5 hours waiting for the weather to clear. My stomach took another 5 hours to recover. 0/10 do not recommended.

  • Question about what to put on RAID and what to put on NVME

    Jump

  • Sounds like a good plan to me

  • Question about what to put on RAID and what to put on NVME

    Jump

  • I've switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

  • Question about what to put on RAID and what to put on NVME

    Jump

  • RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • I'm going to assume I'll live another 45 years here.

    My first electric Guitar should probably last and holds some sentimental value. My other guitars I can imagine selling at some point even though right now I like them.

    Maybe some tools will last that are little more than solid pieces of metal. But how much use I'll have for them when I'm in my 80s i don't know, so maybe they move on before I do.

    Kitchen table and coffee table are very solid and may out live my kids. But maybe we'll decide to swap to something else with a different style after 30 years, who knows.

    That's all I can think of that has any chance of me keeping that long without breaking through standard use.

    Jump

  • There are some strange answers here. Either there are a lot of very old people or people who should be on suicide watch given their suggestions of things that clearly won't last very long. I'm assuming a difference between things breaking and things being broken through misuse.

  • Come to Wales, it won't last 6 months. Whenever I see someone with an umbrella I can't help think they're new here

  • Anybody here whose main use of computers is NOT games?

  • Photo editing. As a helping tool for guitar with Guitar Pro and Songsterr and HX edit. I also spend a fair bit of time on my homelab, configuring servers, networks and maintaining my self hosted empire.
