I don’t really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.
Sure! It’s completely solid-state; no fans or other moving parts. The case is designed to dissipate the heat. The CPU is some low-power Intel Pentium. I don’t remember exactly which model.
I ordered a pre-built one from Protectli because I needed it fast, but you can save quite a bit if you prefer to build one. These little motherboards and cases can be found pretty easily online.
I went with a dedicated mini PC with one of those motherboards that are designed for building a network appliance. It has been running very smoothly for a few years, and I just log in occasionally to run system updates.
I want my network and Internet connection to continue working, regardless of my tinkering with home server stuff.
Can it access a file without spinning up all disks in the array?
I haven’t used ZFS in like a decade, but would strongly consider going back to it if it can do that now.
I’ve been happily using SilverBullet lately too. Can recommend
Fun fact: Base64url is not quite the same as base64. Its alphabet is slightly different from base64 so its characters can be used in more places (URLs, filenames, etc.).
I suppose the tool’s name is more clear for those who are aware of those differences, but very unclear for others.
Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don’t remember any of them 🙃
Though, I don’t really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.
I’ve been trying Peergos lately, and I’m pretty happy with it so far.
Google’s nagging offers for free trials of Gemini made me realize that I was basically handing data over to an AI company 🤦🏻♂️ So I’ve been looking for an alternative too
I started to go down that path, but then I heard that there were problems with data corruption
I just found my order confirmation email. Mine is model FW4C (now superseded by the V1410). Purchased almost two years ago.
I’m very satisfied with mine. Nearly 100% uptime, except for occasional reboots after major system updates.
