  My small low power self built NAS has HDDs for Jellyfin and no problems at all. Just a simple straight forward RAID1 created from countless online tutorials.

  Actually that usually is how it works. Unfortunately.

  *Too big to fail" was probably made up by the big ones.

  So the initiative here is the initiative itself.

  Your city can probably afford it, but some can’t, or won’t. Initiatives like this get the ball rolling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public vs. Private synched photo management⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  First, apologies for the late reply, I forget to check notifications here. On a tangent, it’s a lovely UI since it’s not pestering me to do this or that, but I do miss an occassional reply or two.

  Now, to recap: I have asked you in my post, what software do you have right now? You said the family doesn’t want to sort the library twice - how do they sort this now? You said you host your photo collections on home servers, something something proxmox - the question is how do you get the photos there now? Because you might already have a solution.

  If yes, tell us what your process looks like at the moment, and someone might have an advice. If no, if you have nothing right now, that’s okay too.

  I think it’s because the average person doesn’t understand about five words in your first sentence. They can understand marketing bull that they’re fed, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, there was a comment on “arbitrary scoring for demo purposes”, but it’s still biased, based on biased dataset.

  I guess this is just a bait prompt anyway. If you asked most politicians running your government, they’d probably also fail. I guess only people like a national statistics office might come close, and I’m sure if they’re any good, they’d say that the algo is based on “limited, and possibly not representative data” or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public vs. Private synched photo management⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That really depends on the software you use. Some software might have a way to do it, but it may be indirect.

  E.g. digikam is a photo library management software. It can move albums between “libraries”, and is designed that some of those libraries can be offline occasionally (more in the sense of SD cards, but also e.g. USB storage). So how you could do it is you map one, mountable, library to one disk, another to your “network storage” (however you attach your home server). That includes the metadata (depending on where and how you store it). And the digikam database itself is just a file as well (sqlite database), so you can also back that up at the same time. I’m not sure how to automate this process. Even a manual “cheat” - moving the files to network drive, then symlinking it back, per month or something, might work. It’s a bit of a manual process, but digikam is designed to be storage-based. And a lot of other software is, as well.

  But again, I don’t know if you’re using digiikam or something else, and how you set it up. So, what software do you have? How do your users sync their photos and albums? That might help planning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self host sff project⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I went a bit more then a couple hundred, but if you buy some parts used, you can probably get something close to this. It’s super quiet, very low energy use, just works up there on the cabinet in my home office.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[DHS]Threat to the United States. "Both hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors routinely target poorly secured US networks and Internet-connected devices for disruptive cyber attacks."⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  plus - less staffers, less software. less software, less attack surfaces. they should lay off everybody, then you don’t need servers, then nobody can hack you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pedometers, you mean?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, true, but tyres wouldn’t make it a double distance, it’s not that simple. The case isn’t clear, if course, but the claim says that the odometer tried to reduce the range after it got out of the warranty period.

  Not saying anything about the merit of the case, just the the claim itself sounds interesting and that if true, you can’t wave it away with “you changed tyres”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard vulnerability tracking system has begun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fucking hell, that site a million partners who all have “legitimate interest”. I’ve clicked on like a third of them and then gave up. I don’t need their shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s push for chip independence continues with its first RISC-V server CPU⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the “regular” - i.e. they’d been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.

  I don’t know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Massive Expansion Of Italy’s Piracy Shield Underway Despite Growing Criticism Of Its Flaws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You could just block most of the internet services - gmail, youtube, facebook etc under these rules, and then wreak havoc. I bet they’d roll back these laws in record time if someone pushed them to the limits :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open letter: ~100 EU companies urge EU lawmakers to take “radical action” to shrink the reliance on foreign infrastructure by fostering a so-called “Euro stack”.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, often enough even that phone call won’t help.

  But you’re right, as long as everything is working normally, working on premises slows you down to do maintenance, updates etc etc. Cloud (of all kinds) takes that work away and you can work faster. And in the VC-driven daily and eternal grind, moving faster is the only thing that matters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this massive difference to be expected?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, traceroute might hint at that, if this is what is going on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s ‘Secret’ Update Scans All Your Photos⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will perhaps be nitpicking, but… not exactly, not always. People get their shit hacked all the time due to poor practices. And then those hacked things can send emails and texts and other spam all they want, and it’ll not be forged headers, so you still need spam filtering.
