- Comment on Started hosting my own Nextcloud and its awesome! 17 hours ago:
Despite it getting a bit of a scattered mess, I still love Nextcloud as it can pretty much provide everything I want in a cloud service. Currently running via a yunohost setup because upgrading is way, way easier but I might migrate it to a truenas setup OR a docker container just because. The advantage of going truenas is that it is my main storage system with backup etc. but the disadvantage is if something goes wrong (I do have a backup to the backups ahem and it does have raidz1 so I should be resistant to some errors)

Like I said - each to their own. truecharts the apps are pretty much known to be more unstable as well, says that everywhere in the documentation. Truenas if it’s up to date, using their app catalogue with stable selected is pretty rock solid for everyone.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 3 days ago:
Also re:lemmy/piefed - there are quite a few people who are very loud and vocal about things, and a lot of the opinions here lean to the left a lot. Not that it is a bad thing, but some folk appear to have got fed up of this and as a result have migrated elsewhere. I like it here, but it can be far from helpful at times

UK user here, several big lemmy instances are unavailable for me apart from when I’m on erm holiday
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 3 days ago:
I’m in the UK and I am seeing a decline across virtually everything tinternet related. Years of rising rpices, job security worries and just a shift in attitudes has made people far more wary and less time to post, interact etc. plus the modern fragmented web doesn’t help
- Comment on Am I corrupting my data? 4 days ago:
Well erm that I can’t get around… but I guess it depends on what you want to self host. I use truenas as a storage solution, standalone and it works very well for that - I have had it up and running for years and years. It also stores personal files and is not exposed to the internet apart from updates and a few other things. Then I have an old 4-node server from Supermicro which hosts the stuff I need and uses truenas to store the data. Now that is probably overkill but the data is safe and backed up well. Truenas has apps for a lot of things, and other ways to host docker containers if you have the latest scale community edition. So perhaps you could do it that way

Debian supports zfs so why the extra hassle of truenas? Seems to be a lot of extra work to add a vm when you could just use zfs in Debian. Or install something like Minio in Debian and use that to manage the data in s3 style buckets, again no vm needed

You are still going? You really aren’t a nice person are you forcing your “opinion” on people… it is not financially viable in the UK to retire early any more

The point is arguing about something when you plainly don’t understand how the UK still has GDPR doesn’t really validate your opinions in any way shape or form…
The security doesn’t matter, nothing other than Windows is used. To move to something else would cost so much that businesses simply cannot sustain that. We now have workers who have had 30 years of only working with Windows… and new workers only get Windows. Doesn’t matter what you or anybody else thinks, or says, it matters little. It is pretty much set in stone that you need Windows and Office in the UK, plus other software to make things like PDF’s and documents. You can point anyone towards anything and it just doesn’t matter… and here in the UK they don’t care about lawsuits, we don’t sue first and ask questions later - our legal system is just not setup that way. It is so difficult for other countries to understand, but that kind of approach just doesn’t happen, and our legal system takes little notice of legal issues in countries like the US. - Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 5 days ago:
For starters in the UK we ARE bound by GDPR…
But it doesn’t matter - you are assuming that companies care in the UK, they don’t. You get Windows or Windows. As said a lot of software only runs on Windows, and this will continue until microsoft stop windows, corps don’t care. Here in the UK Macs are rare, really really rare, in business. Heck in general use they are rare compared to Windows. Linux is nowhere, under 0.1%. You are literally forced to use Windows if you work for a company. My wife works for a charity and she has to use the company laptop, through the company VPN or else she gets warning and can be sacked… it really is that simple. The company controls what software is installed, even what updates are installed. Here in the UK the NHS buys around 5 million windows machines a year… just imagine that - Comment on New shiny toy 5 days ago:

You realise that most companies still run on Windows don’t you? I’m in the UK and there is around zero companies that use anything else… here they got rid of Macs because of the hassle of supporting them and windows. Plenty of companies won’t let you use a Mac to work with either
- Comment on A domain I like has expired, how do I go about registering it for myself? 5 days ago:
Change your surname to a domain that is available…
Of course I am kidding, but this kind of thing happens a lot, and it just ends up costing money to sort out. If you are happy with that then do it - if not then you will have to hope it becomes available on the free market at some time or see if it comes available in domain auctions as said. It really is that hit or miss, unless you are a Jones or Smith in which case there is zero chance - Submitted 5 days ago to technology@lemmy.world | 5 comments
- Comment on Need help with adding drives to a ZFS pool 5 days ago:
of course, but each to their own and all that. I just feel that parity on data is pretty much a free help to keep data secure. Not a magic bullet but a helping hand. And zfs does it very very well!
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 5 days ago:
many have to - work from home, have to share data and programs with other workers. There are of course ways around it but I know literally thousands of people who are supplied with a company laptop with windows on it and they have to use it…
- Comment on Need help with adding drives to a ZFS pool 5 days ago:
Not if you use raidz1, if you use raidz2 then yes. raidz in zfs is pretty decent. I have had a disk fail in raidz1 and replaced it with another and no data was lost after a resilver. Took a few hours but worked really well. Pretty much the whole idea of using zfs is the enhanced security of your data, seems strange to not put that to good use. The chances of BOTH drives failing before you can replace 1 are very very slim. I get that there is no easy way to just migrate to raidz1 but you could if you got 3 drives, make a new raidz1 pool, copy the data across and then add the old 2 drives to to the pool with a new vdev. You need to be able to add 5 drives to the system though. Of course there are many options here, but you already know that
- Comment on Need help with adding drives to a ZFS pool 5 days ago:
If you add 2 more drives surely it would be better to use raidz1? I mean you’d add capacity AND get parity protection so if any 1 drive failed the data would still be safe. 4x4TB drives with raidz1 would give you around 14.5 TB of storage with added security
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 5 days ago:
Nope - banning vpn’s would be simple stoopid (!). Especially as most businesses rely on them for online security as does the government…
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 5 days ago:
Because… the OSA is badly worded, pretty damn oppressive and the penalties are so high that if they enforced them then well, pretty much ANY decent website will cease to be available in the UK. Simple really, plus it doesn’t do anything like it should do as users just magically appear to be in a different country…
- Comment on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo 5 days ago:
I understand that, it is fine. My point was that having to mess around to see something is why users get fed up. Nothing that can be done about it really, it is a mess brought upon by a poorly worded and applied act that really doesn’t do the simple things it set out to do…

I get that, this is more an issue I guess with instances that were federated and now are not in the UK. It isn’t handled that gracefully - but hey not my issue
