My server rack is located in an uninsulated attic with two tiny windows. I haven’t measured the ambient temperature but I think it’s over 40°C. Yesterday one drive in my storage server reached 65°C - so for today I have shut it off until the rain comes. Fun times.

This reads like a headline from Plague Inc.

Obligatory: RAID is not a backup.

Security in software is about implementation, not different programming languages. Security as a whole is also not something you can achieve just by installing “secure” software - every software has bugs and vulnerabilities. Some of them are known, others are unknown and not every one of them automatically poses a security risk to you, this depends on the bug, your usage and environment. You can try to harden your system, but you need to do this in layers and the application code is just one of them.

For example, you could geoblock IP addresses so their requests never even reach your application. This does not mean that you’re automatically safe from attackers from e.g. Russia, but you make yourself a less easy target.

There are many other defense mechanisms like request limiting, dynamically blocking malicious requests with something like Fail2Ban, strong authentication, frequent patching, network segregation, virtualization, and so on. I hope you see where I’m going. Security is complex and depends a lot on your personal threat model.

That being said, if you need to know how secure the code of a given software is, you need to find something that has recently been audited or audit it yourself.

It doesn’t look like anything to me.

I might be cynical, but moving away from Synology and Plex because of the writing on the wall and then choosing Unraid probably won’t end well.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the love for Unraid even though I don’t use it. It looks nice and newbie-friendly and you can throw all your random disks at it regardless of size. But enshittification will come for Unraid and I personally think that it has already begun.

Thanks for your response!

What made you switch from TrueNAS Scale to Unraid, if I may ask? Is it just the ability to mix different drive sizes? I’m currently using TrueNAS Core and thinking about migrating to TrueNAS Scale.

I’ve had great success with restic. It will handle your 4TB just fine, here’s some stats of mine:

Total File Count: 78374
Total Size: 13.324 TiB

and another one, not as large but with lots of files

Total File Count: 1295210
Total Size: 2.717 TiB

Restic will automatically deduplicate your data so your duplicates won’t waste storage at your backup location.

I’ve recently learned about backrest which can serve as a restic UI if you’re not comfortable with the cli, but I haven’t used it myself.

To clean your duplicates at the source I would look into Czkawka as another lemming already suggested.

Gaming is fine, I haven’t noticed any issues but I have to admit that I’m a casual gamer at most. The monitor supports FreeSync and refresh rates up to 165Hz.

I haven’t compared VA to OLED yet, but the latter costs at least twice as much where I live. For me personally, I don’t think that’s worth it. My previous monitor was a Samsung CF791 with Quantum-Dot but honestly I find the iiyama to have nicer colors. That’s highly subjective of course and the CF791 was released roughly 10 years ago, so take this with a grain of salt.

I’ve been using VA Panels for a long time because of that IPS glow. My current main monitor is a iiyama GCB3480WQSU-B1 and I’m pretty happy with it.

I mean, calling out Musks hypocrisy is not a bad thing per se, but is it really news?

At the end of the day a lot of people choose to remain on a platform that got bought by an gigantic asshole, who can now do whatever he wants with it. That’s how it works and being upset about it just shows that many users are either naive or delusional. Twitter can’t be saved, there’s nothing left.

Combined with the fact that most Lemmy users probably know about this and already chose alternative platforms a long time ago, articles like these rarely cause more than a shrug, at least for me.

But hey, if it get’s a few more people off of twitter (especially like large institutions as you mentioned), I won’t complain. As time passes I just tend to think that everyone who still stays on Twitter maybe belongs there.

I have an offsite NAS where I run the Restic REST server as a docker container. I connect to it over Nebula but you could also use a traditional VPN, Tailscale, Headscale, Pangolin or whatever.

Works like a charm.

Good.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks!

Uhhh, I have always used Docker for Home Assistant with no issues? That being said, I’m no HA power user at all - so maybe you could elaborate about the limits you’ve encountered?

There’s cynical sarcasm and there’s “I guess Hitler was right then ¯_(ツ)_/¯”. I’d say the latter is just fucked up.

Are you even listening to yourself?! A genocide is never “correct and justified”, which is the whole point of this post. Your comment makes me sick.
