You must have shingled/SMR drives. They do not work well with any type of raid array.

My array of 7x12TB drives resilvers in a few hours, as I made sure I got CMR drives

Fair, I also have a brother laser printer and have never had issues. I was in IT Support for many years and boy were printers ever a problem.

Even cheap ear buds / headphones and mice these days seem to be perfectly stable wireless though. They may break physically or just have shitty performing hardware, but the wireless part itself has been pretty good these days

I agree with the wireless being solved part, but printers still suck lol

No, but that is an option if you dont have the hardware to self host it. I have it on one of my vms on my server in the basement.

EDIT: I just took another look at the github repo and it kind of looks like you can’t just selfhost it, but you can, the main readme is just a little confusing. Click on the “Setup your CouchDB” link in the manual section and the selfhosted via docker guide is there.

You should take a look at the selfhosted live sync plugin for obsidian. It’s been working flawlessly for me for the past year.

It’s a free security upgrade that the os gives you the option to use. There is an enteprise version that includes technical support, but that is an extra addon.

There is no fee for personal use.

Whats wrong with ubuntu pro?

Windows Defender is actually quite good these days. The main reason an enterprise would use a 3rd party AV/Firewall would be centralized management of said av and firewall. If IT needs to install apps and make them work, they also need the ability to manage the AV/Firewall.

And those projects will either never have Kavita+ features, or will die out because they do not get enough one time donations from people to keep up those features. The Kavita devs are litterally providing everything for free, other than things that cost them money monthly to run. You being but-hurt about that is nonsensical.

Alright, then while you contribute to open source projects dying out I guess I will continue being reasonable about it. Immich had a shitstorm around it because they used rather deceptive wording at first, Kavita is pretty damn clear about what its methods of monetary support are.

Also, there is nothing stopping you from hiding the button via uploading a custom theme which hides the button.

Kavita+ is for features that have an ongoing cost for the devs. They have to spend their own money for running the servers hosting the backend of the k+ features, as well as for access to APIs. They are not features that could have possibly been free.

Also, I’m not sure why an unobtrusive donate button is a downside to you…

Flatpak is the default in ubuntu though? Atleast it is for me in 24.04

Hah, never thought of it like that. I went from 0 to 2 linux desktop machines shortly after joining lemmy.

Fair enough. I manage the same by backing up the vm its on.

Not sure I agree about proxy manager. Anything you need to access is in the gui. You can easily add advanced configs to the entries. Been using it for 5 or so years, and there hasnt been anything I was missing from using straight nginx before that.

Yep, you could fit wikipedia with images and some general knowledge books into about 110GB of space. Perfect use for it lol

You seem to be under the impression that the “buckets” in this case are all or nothing. They are talking about partitioning the drives and raiding the partitions. The way he describes slowly moving data to an ever increasing raid array would most certainly work, as it is not all or nothing. These buckets have fully separate independent chambers in them that are adjustable at will. Makes leveling them possible, just tedious and risky.

I dont know about mtls, but Obsidian with the Self-Hosted Live Sync community plugin has end to end encrypted sync between any device. There are a ton of plugins to make it capable of doing whatever you want. I have it syncing between Windows, Linux, and Android currently.

Indeed. I went on a many hour hunt for alternatives, even trying some wine methods of getting sharex itself working. Ksnip was the next best option, and gifine for gifs/mp4

These days, it is often misused by ignorant people because it sounds derogatory.
