  I think they mean IF the license for old users changes, other companies have done that before. I’m on the same boat as him, if my UnRAID license suddenly means I need to start paying again I am switching.

  They mean that they aren’t offering another solution.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosted Wetransfer?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Pingvin only thing it does not have is sharing with registered users but it seems that feature has been requested so might be added at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enterprise SAS SSD are just built different... two layers, and takes up all the space it can.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  12 drives here all from eBay running same as you for 2 years not a single problem. Hard drives are stubborn bastards when they want to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you were to suddenly come into possession of 12+ enterprise-grade SAS hard drives, how would you go about incorporating them into your homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes a day just FEELS like it’s 48 hours long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which OS do you use for your homeserver?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same here, when I made mine I had a whole mix of different sized drives so it made sense. I like not having to worry about drive size, as long as they are smaller than the parity drives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Substack says it will not remove or demonetize Nazi content⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Won’t work here, on here it is black or white, either hate Nazis and anything that even approaches it or you are one. Every other subject in the world will be grey and nuanced, and they will argue minor points to death, except for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please recommend your cheaper, reliable SSDs 2TB+ (4TB ideal)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ADATA nVme, SATA m.2 and SATA are my go to for cheap upgrades for laptops and have had no problems with them. Even have a few in external USB cases for large capacity, fast, portable storage and they work great.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Will Charge for Windows 10 Security Updates in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And Windows XP although I think they were pushed to start it with XP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do the same but with Blue Iris and Windows but yeah I keep those cheap China cams off the Internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searching for a self-hostable podcast manager⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently learned it can do podcasts and even has a podcast search so you can easily add them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That sounds horrible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landing page for selfhosted services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently using Homarr but have used Fenrus and a few others and all work well you just need to find the one you like the best. The two I mentioned are simple to use and very customizable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting in a pickle over hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I currently have an HBA that breaks it into 8 DATA connections and was wondering if an 8 port SATA controller would be lower power usage and work as well. My HBA is a server one and rather old, it’s a Dell H310 flashed. Then again I am thinking of replacing the MB and upgrade to a newer CPU that is more energy efficient than my current Xeon E3-1270 just can’t seem to find the right one.

  It is just a single night but if he follows the rotation of the Earth the night will last much longer than normal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite domain name provider, and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Having recently setup an UnRaid server I used a walkthrough video on setting up SSL certs for them through Cloudflare and Google Domains. Was already using their DNS (1.1.1.1) and had an account so made that it an easy decision, then Google decided Domains would be sold off so I fully migrated to Cloudflare. I find the free tier to have more things included than I even understand and it does everything I need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, a Pigeon is Faster for Data Transfer than Gigabit Fiber Internet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t help but think that they are rigging this for the bird. Just calculate how long it takes the bird to get from here to there and then pick a capacity that takes longer to download.
