  • I can't decide if this is real or an advertisement for the linked article service. I don't see any CVE in the article which seems to be a good indication of the quality of the content.

    I'm not saying that this is misinformation, but I'm extremely sceptical about the nature of this article.

  • Do we have any metrics on when the most active user activity is across Lemmy / PieFed?

  • I suspect that this is instance and perhaps even community specific and given the nature of federated distribution, I doubt that it will be meaningful information.

  • I want to make sure that the schmucks who financed this abomination in the first place pay dearly for it, rather than fleecing the subsequent hapless small investors and the rest of society who don't understand and will buy into the hype.

  • Proxmox Backup Server verifications stupidly slow on S3 storage

    Jump

  • I apologise, I saw S3, never even noticed the "OVH", nor had I ever heard of it.

    I'll leave my original reply as is with an added disclaimer for anyone who follows down the same path.

  • Proxmox Backup Server verifications stupidly slow on S3 storage

    Jump

  • Have a look at your AWS billing console, since data egress is charged and downloading to verify is considered egress.

    AWS S3 supports data checksums where a checksum is calculated at AWS, which you can compare against a checksum that you calculate locally.

    This is an article that goes into how it works, but I've not (yet) tested it, but I'll be following in your footsteps pretty soon.

    https://medium.com/@maureenosaghae86/check-the-integrity-of-data-in-amazon-s3-with-additional-checksums-3e51fe45f530

    As an aside, make sure that versioning is OFF on your backup bucket unless you specifically require and understand it, because even when you delete objects, they persist as a previous, all but invisible, and charged(!), version.

    My former backup software "helpfully" enabled versioning and I was left with a $600 monthly bill for six months while there was no actual backup being done due to a local hardware failure, until I figured out what was happening. I used that software for years and shudder to think just how much extra it actually cost.

    I will note that while I had a catastrophic hardware failure, I didn't lose any data.

    Finally, if you're storing data in Glacier, retrieval is charged at different rates, depending on timelines of access, so it might be that your backup software is using the slow tier to "save" you money.

    Edit: OP advises that they're not using AWS, instead they're using OVH. The object storage solutions appear to be mostly compatible, but I was unable to discover if the OVH implementation supports checksums.

  • Server vs miniPC dilemma for homelab

    Jump

  • I faced pretty much the exact same choice, except I was given four of them, each with 8 GB of RAM.

    Unfortunately they were two different hardware revisions, so the most I could achieve was two servers with 16 GB each.

    They sound like a Jet taking off when powered up and the BIOS doesn't support lower fan speeds.

    Instead after months of deliberation I decided to go with a SFF Lenovo, 32 GB, 2 x 1 TB NVME, Ryzen 7, and bought this:

    It's whisper quiet and running Proxmox.

    To get VM video passthrough to work I installed an extra video card, though, you could install a desktop on the host OS instead if you prefer.

    The video card I used to fit inside is this:
