Time is merely a perspective. I’ve been doing this for 20 years.

Perhaps it is overblown, but one of the reasons I have 8 drives is because I wanted to run raidz2 for the extra redundancy. I’ve had multiple drives die before and so as disk sizes have gone up more redundancy has been important (at least I thought so).

So when my first ZFS NAS (4 disks) developed hardware failure, I decided to get more serious about it. Hence larger rack device with a proper Xeon with ECC memory and an HBA for 8 disks + 2 SSDs and the old drives that survived as a play space. I’ve also used this server now for 9 years.

That is a really nice small form factor case. I was recently looking at Fractal’s Define 7 XL because it can hold an amazing 18 3.5" + SSDs.

Welcome. I personally found it necessary because YouTube’s algo kept giving mostly QOP nazi propaganda starting back in 2016.

Wow, that didn’t used to be that way. I guess things have changed over the years.

Because of their contractor status they may not have any grounds to do so. Looks real shitty though for sure.

100% fresh

Its better we stop depending on the single points of failure anyway. The psychopaths will always do whatever they want in the name of the shareholder - even when its not true.

Especially with Jerboa already in place, its IMO a good switch.

The one thing that worries me is all that useful info trapped on Reddit, if Lemmy data expires then that has a long term cost/loss which is sad.

Something like 12 years I used Reddit, but they really nailed the coffin lid shut now.

Indeed, Reddit half died for me when they did the redesign, and I only used RiF after that, now its just dead to me.
