Well, if you’re storing data you care about on your server you kind of need to have redundancy. The best filesystem for that (imo) is ZFS so yes, you should use that (or something similar). Apparently you do use a “scalable storage solution” but you also seem fond of mystery.

If one of the raidz drives is removed from the array, and you’re not encrypting your datasets, someone could recover data from the drive.

The solution is in the question. Just encrypt the dataset.

If you’re using a raidz array (which you should) the data would be irrecoverable anyways when you dispose of a single drive, wouldn’t it? Also, why would you throw away a server drive that still works?

Does that matter if you’re self hosting and not exposing it to the internet?

That’s a bit odd considering how much more popular Immich is, but ok.

Any reason to pick this over Immich?

My thought was that (maybe) the server (aka fathom in this case) could be the one that has the active youtube session so that it fetches the stream and then uploads it to the client. Acting like a proxy of sorts. To youtube, the user is always where the server is, but you can move around freely without issues.

Yeah except that YouTube support told me that they can detect if you’re using a vpn or no. At least in my case, using ProtonVPN that seems to be the case because when I try to subscribe to premium, it says that they can’t verify my country.

I’m assuming the youtube client is precisely that, right? Meaning that it’s the client that fetches the stream, not the server. Asking because Google’s been very annoying about not veing able “verify my country” due to travelling for extended periods of time. So I’m trying to find a way to spoof my location.

That was a hypothetic example, not my opinion on this post.

There’s nothing “absolutistic” about my “stance”. If you’re rusty using a language, you won’t get better if someone else does the homework for you. Make an effort, make mistakes, write in a way that sounds weird, who cares. But practice. If you only take the easy way out, that’ll be your only option in the future.

Although, like I already said, that’s MY way of thinking about it. If you want to use ai to write your stuff, you do you. It doesn’t negate the fact that, whle it’s not “wrong”, it’s the lazy (or minimum effort) option. Don’t know why it bothers you so much.

First, that’s an awful analogy.

Second, you’re assuming (for some unknown reason) that they “cleaned up” the “translation” using ai. You have literally no idea exactly how they wrote the post. It’s kinda weird to make up a random scenario but ok.

Third, no, it’s not an awful take. You can code something that requires a ton of effort but write awful documentation. One thing does not make the other impossible.

Fourth, I already explained that there have already been studies that concluded that using AI to write stuff for you has a negative impact on your communication skills. This is not an opinion or me being ingrateful or whatever. I was just sharing information.

“Activists”? What are you even talking about?

Regardless, I specifically said that what you did wasn’t wrong or anything likw that. I simply think that it’s going to do you more harm than good in the long run. You’re free to do whatever you want though, obviously.

Another piece of advice. When someone simply shares an opinion, don’t get instantly butthurt over nothing. Otherwise this might as well be reddit.

They said it wasn’t their “first” lanugage. Which leads me to believe that they do speak English. If that’s the case, then they indeed are kind of lazy. There have already been studies in the impact of AI when used for communication and the results are not positive.

This isn’t something I’d personally point out and criticize, just something I wouldn’t do. Take the time to express your own ideas in your own words. The long term cost is higher than the short term gains.
