Set up split tunneling for your torrenting program only.

Fuck around with proprietary software and find out.

Let’s get Radicale!

Holy crap, you’re me. Except I plan on using slidge-whatsapp.

So many answers!!

First it was from planets from Ursula Le Guin’s Hainish cycle.

Now it’s the names of birds visiting my feeder: chickadee, titmouse, mockingbird, etc.

Porcoolpine from SimplyNuc. That product line is fanless which is key for me in the HTPC environment with a flat screen. In the “home theatre” I have a projector with a fan so it doesn’t matter.

It uses the Calibre database but isn’t a frontend per se.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Redoing a closet. Seems easiest just to rip out the non-functional layout and replace with an easy Ikea setup.

As far as I’m aware, Calibre-Web serves are web front-end for calibre. I think you might have to install plugins manually on the desktop version, but it should be active when importing a book over the Calibre-web, especially DeDRM.

I can attest that it’s quite straightforward and well documented! Toughest part for me was clearing out all that crap under the sink!

btrfs or zfs send/receive. Harder to do if already established, but by far the most elegant, especially with atomic snapshots to allow versioning without duplicate data.

I got a water test kit for free from Home Depot and sent it in. Never got an answer. This inspires me to try again.

And enables modular workflows and flexiblity.

Finished insulating my copper radiator pipes. I think it’s worth it as our rooms seem to be getting a lot hotter.

I wouldn’t think so. 5400 rpm drives might last longer if we’re specifically thinking about mechanical wear. My main takeaway is that WDC has the best. I would use the largest number available which is the final chart which you also point out. One thing which others have also pointed out that there is no metadata included with these results. For example the location of different drives, i.e. rack and server-room specific data. These would control for temperature, vibration and other potential confounders. Also likely that as new servers are brought online, different SKUs are being bought in groups, i.e. all 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf. I don’t know why they haven’t tried to use linear or simple machine learning models to try to provide some explanatory information to this data, but nevertheless I am deeply appreciative that this data is available at all.

Backblaze reports HDD reliability data on their blog. Never rely on anecdata!

Ah, thank you for explaining. I understand where you’re coming from. Nevertheless, from the point of a view a small NAS, RAIDZ1 is much more space and cost efficient so I think there is room for “pets” in the small homelab or NAS.

Do one thing and do it well. Oh well…

Got it, but it seems like Newsflash may have a memory leak issue?
