Explain? I haven't heard anything negative

How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?

Hello, I'm relatively new to self-hosting and recently started using Unraid, which I find fantastic! I'm now considering upgrading my storage capacity by purchasing either an 8TB or 10TB hard drive. I'm exploring both new and used options to find the best deal. However, I've noticed that prices vary based on the specific...

I remember this - I had just bought my second drive for my nas (raid1, original drive cmr), and it was performing like shit. The next day, news broke about this bullshit and a couple days later, the suit was started. I was fucking pissed, the drives were still having trouble, with terabytes of irreplaceable data at risk while the two drives struggled to mirror. I got in contact with wd and after some back and forth bullshit, I straight-up threatened to join the class and blacklist wd for all my personal, family/friends, and client's builds, if they didn't rma the drive immediately and send me a cmr replacement. I've been 100% wd for over 20 years, and I have decent reach as to what I recommend and buy for people.

They sent me a cmr drive via express shipping. I continue to buy wd drives (two more disks in that machine, an external backup, an internal desktop pcie raid0 nvme+card, an internal backup drive for my desktop, a backup ssd for one of my laptops...), but with much more scrutiny. I did not join the class, but it's still a black mark in my book. I've been thinking about giving Toshiba a whirl, their drive reviews look good. Maybe next upgrade...

I got what I wanted (a proper cmr drive of the same capacity and speed) and I wasn't terribly interested in like $8 that would show up a year later. I just wanted to have my data safe on the correct hardware, and for cs to recognize and remedy the issue.

Now if the array had failed and I'd lost data (which from what I've read, I was very lucky to not have that happen), absolutely. But I was just angry from being bait-and-switched, and I'm 'old school' where loyalty still means something. That's the only time I've had issues with wd; I've had drives fail, and there has been no argument, no question, and it's pretty rare/special circumstances (1kW psu went kaboom, for example). I value cs that just helps the customer, not grilling them for every detail to weasel out of a claim. So yeah they burned some goodwill, but I still have dropped ~2k on drives since then.

I bought a used machine a couple weeks ago and am setting it up (1st bare metal build), prox with debian vm running docker. I found it annoying that pm doesn't support it natively but the ability to do snapshots through pm is nice, and let's me fuck around more than I would otherwise, slowly build up a machine.

But almost all of the stuff I have running on other machines is just docker containers, so it would be nice if pm just added a checkbox during install or something. (I want to poke at and learn pm, plus mess around with other vms, that's why I didn't do straight Debian)

I was very interested in buying one; the details looked OK, and it wasn't a use-once product like those flimsy blue face masks. This was early on when no end was in sight so it seemed like a decent move, and was at least interesting visually.

I ended up not buying one since they took forever from announcement to actual public sale, and I'd talked myself out of it.

I've played the 2D very briefly, but it was before my time so I lack the nostalgia and interest. Seeing the car transform was freaking awesome at the time, so futuristic. I was a kid back then and obtaining all secondary objectives was legitimately hard, but provided replay value.

I'd really like to see another, but I don't know if whoever has the IP has any interest, or is even in business anymore.

Red Lobster eyes bankruptcy option after $11M in losses from endless shrimp ( abcnews.go.com )

"Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed 'Ultimate Endless Shrimp' deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of...

Well considering that I'm a "millennial" and literally not a single person I know has ever visited, requested, or mentioned Red Lobster as a restaurant choice... they might have deeper trouble than some shitty shrimp. Can't run a business forever when your largest potential market is 65+...

Any suggestions for bulk storage? I use their storage box for off-site backups of the nas critical data (a touch over 1TB). It's my tertiary backup (another off-site, a local full, and this) but I was testing it to replace my current off-site.

I've asked my vps provider about it, and it's on the roadmap but not yet ready, so I've been lightly searching around.

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

I had B2 a few years ago and it wasn't that cheap, even though everyone raved about it. I moved to synology's c2 backup, which is like a dollar fifty more a month but is well-integrated with their nas OS. But I'm up against the 1TB limit and to get more I'd have to get another TB. I thought Hetzner was the solution for this with their storage box but now I'm worried. And price-wise, 5TB of Hetzner is about the same of 2TB with synology c2... blah.

Taking a brief look at that blog post, the author doesn't know that wt can be set to only notify... Or that wt can be set to act at specific date or time... It's like they never looked at the wt env variables at all, just yolo defaults and then complain that it doesn't do what they want out of the box ('because my settings are the best and they should clearly be the default for everyone!'). For someone who spent much time exploring other options and complaining, they didn't take ~10 minutes to learn that the initial issue was indeed themselves.

(I use wt and set up many options to avoid these issues, successfully)

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Why did they spend 8 paragraphs of 'this is terrible' and then be like 'but you can change that, though I decided not to'. I dunno, the whole post is stupid, imo. It's complaining about something that has already been resolved, then suggesting a different solution.

shrug

Composerize - online tool converts docker commands to compose yml ( www.composerize.com )

I had an issue recently with getting FileBrowser to run and while researching that, I found this tool which creates a docker-compose.yml file from a docker run command. It worked well for me, so I am passing it along to you all. I hope someone else finds this helpful....

    Idk, me and all my friends use discord for vc, plus screenshots and memes while we chat. You can do that in mumble. Not sure about broadcasting or anything (I started a server yesterday after the news broke), maybe there are extensions. Discord is just a means to an end for us.

    How did you go from 'would you fuck me? I'd fuck me' to either being a narcissist or into beastiality? Sometimes it's just really hard (giggity) to find someone who shares your interest in edge play, cbt and castration. And that old saying, 'if you want something done right...'

    What are you all doing for android "provisioning"?

Maybe you know of a way to self-host some sort of android profile server? I'll post my process +...

    Basically this, but update the system, then install GrapheneOS, set that up, setup Google, setup bitwarden, start to load apps from Obtainium, setup each (and uninstall the app from the old device as I go). Then gp apps, same thing. Then device settings. Using FX file manager at some point to login to my nas and pull config and backup files, as necessary.

    Takes me a full day, but I can be confident that I have everything migrated and not have to do anything else. I use my phone for many things (tasks.org, calendula, the usual calendar and email, banking...) and also for safety/reassurance (all my medical details are input and updated whenever there is a change, my watch detects falls and has LTE if my phone is dead, etc) which is very important to me being disabled.

    It's a bitch to do but once you have a rhythm, it's actually pretty much zombie auto-pilot. The initial setup for bitwarden (g play) which has the prerequisite of Google (account) as a whole without having a simple way to input passwords 60+ characters long quickly is oof. Once I had bw ready, it's just boom boom boom. I get a new phone whenever a family member needs to upgrade to my current one, so it can be a yearly process, or like 3 years. The new device keeps me excited and powering through the dull process.

    "security theater" my guy it's not x-ray scanning them, it's so the Jehovah's Witnesses don't try and convert me, so when I am taking a shit I can see it's just the delivery guy and not someone I need to run out with my pants around my ankles, it's so I can communicate with the neighbors that lock themselves out again asking when I'll be back from errands.

    Picking a camera vendor that doesn't give out data like a 2-bit trick isn't terribly difficult. Not every company is Amazon. Calm down, you've been watching way too many cop dramas.
