Are you people?

I also never saw a calculation that took into amount my VPS costs. The fckers scrape half the internet, warming up every server in the world connected to the internet. How much energy is that?

My small low power self built NAS has HDDs for Jellyfin and no problems at all. Just a simple straight forward RAID1 created from countless online tutorials. Feel free to ask or contact me if you wanna know more of the software setup things.

Actually that usually is how it works. Unfortunately.

*Too big to fail" was probably made up by the big ones.

So the initiative here is the initiative itself.

Your city can probably afford it, but some can’t, or won’t. Initiatives like this get the ball rolling.

First, apologies for the late reply, I forget to check notifications here. On a tangent, it’s a lovely UI since it’s not pestering me to do this or that, but I do miss an occassional reply or two.

Now, to recap: I have asked you in my post, what software do you have right now? You said the family doesn’t want to sort the library twice - how do they sort this now? You said you host your photo collections on home servers, something something proxmox - the question is how do you get the photos there now? Because you might already have a solution.

If yes, tell us what your process looks like at the moment, and someone might have an advice. If no, if you have nothing right now, that’s okay too.

Yeah, but I like the “two weeks” one better, it waits at least four days until the next popup. The other one, the lil X, waits like four minutes

“abusive spouse” funny way to spell "government and “techbros”

I think it’s because the average person doesn’t understand about five words in your first sentence. They can understand marketing bull that they’re fed, though.

On a tangent, to me as an outsider it seems that most Americans are more likely to view anything as negative. I have no scientific backing for my shitpost though.

Also, there was a comment on “arbitrary scoring for demo purposes”, but it’s still biased, based on biased dataset.

I guess this is just a bait prompt anyway. If you asked most politicians running your government, they’d probably also fail. I guess only people like a national statistics office might come close, and I’m sure if they’re any good, they’d say that the algo is based on “limited, and possibly not representative data” or something.

That really depends on the software you use. Some software might have a way to do it, but it may be indirect.

E.g. digikam is a photo library management software. It can move albums between “libraries”, and is designed that some of those libraries can be offline occasionally (more in the sense of SD cards, but also e.g. USB storage). So how you could do it is you map one, mountable, library to one disk, another to your “network storage” (however you attach your home server). That includes the metadata (depending on where and how you store it). And the digikam database itself is just a file as well (sqlite database), so you can also back that up at the same time. I’m not sure how to automate this process. Even a manual “cheat” - moving the files to network drive, then symlinking it back, per month or something, might work. It’s a bit of a manual process, but digikam is designed to be storage-based. And a lot of other software is, as well.

But again, I don’t know if you’re using digiikam or something else, and how you set it up. So, what software do you have? How do your users sync their photos and albums? That might help planning.

It’s 12, looks good to me.

I went a bit more then a couple hundred, but if you buy some parts used, you can probably get something close to this. It’s super quiet, very low energy use, just works up there on the cabinet in my home office.

Edit: the case is a bit bigger, not exactly sff, but still small enough. The important thing is that it fits 6 big drives and could fit a few more ssds (currently it has 4 + an ssd), and even more important, low power = low electricity bill, low noise = I forget about it.

It runs jelly, hosts my photography hobby, has a few play services I rarely use.

plus - less staffers, less software. less software, less attack surfaces. they should lay off everybody, then you don’t need servers, then nobody can hack you!

I was today old when I learned that the software’s called btop++, not just btop :)

Pedometers, you mean?

Well, true, but tyres wouldn’t make it a double distance, it’s not that simple. The case isn’t clear, if course, but the claim says that the odometer tried to reduce the range after it got out of the warranty period.

Not saying anything about the merit of the case, just the the claim itself sounds interesting and that if true, you can’t wave it away with “you changed tyres”.

Fucking hell, that site a million partners who all have “legitimate interest”. I’ve clicked on like a third of them and then gave up. I don’t need their shit.
