then it’s all fun and games till you’ve been fucking with it for 3 hours and you get to folder.old.old.old.old.old

That’s why the non-parentheses number is zero for all seeded torrents. In parentheses number is “hey I’m here”. Out of parentheses number is “hey I’m here. Let me in.”

For actively downloading torrents they’re an indication of connection health. If there’s 150 announced seeders but you only open a connection to one or two of them, you might have a network problem.

Damn guess I’ll just never buy it till the inevitable port then.

lol

Considering TPB is garbage and shouldn’t be used anymore, I see this as an absolute win

Oh yeah that’s a good idea too. Sure any one client device will be limited to 1g but your NAS could use a super cheap multi-port ethernet card to get 2 or 4g bonded link speeds so it can serve multiple devices at full speed.

Yup. Same age, same design, same failures… and array rebuilds are super intense workloads that often force a lot of random reads and run the drive at 100% load for many hours.

Yeah. They got sold once around 1996 and then again to Hasbro in 1998 after they were failing IIRC. So they were kind of an amalgamation of a bunch of different companies

And Roller Coaster Tycoon! (although it was technically under Hasbro at that point)

2.5 is still really new in the networking space and nobody has hit economies of scale yet. I very much also want to build out my home LAN to be entirely 2.5g compatible since 1g is limiting for my NAS use case (video storage), 10g is overkill and not supported by my client devices, and I only need 16/24 ports. but good God the hardware just isn’t reasonable yet.

You pretty much have to bite the bullet if you really want 2.5 right now. What might honestly be worthwhile is finding a used enterprise 1g switch with the number of ports you need, and will still be “enough”, as those can be had for only a couple hundred dollars. Sit on that for 2-3 years until the 2.5g and 5g hardware market starts to fill out and you can decide how badly you need 2.5g then

Really. Anything branded from Samsung or Crucial(Micron) is going to be fine. They are the top producers of NAND, produce high quality products, and stand behind warranties. But you are gonna pay out the nose for the privilege of enterprise grade hardware.

You might just be buying lower quality consumer SSD’s though, since even they should be able to handle a surprising amount of abuse.

If I had a dollar for every time rebuilding a RAID array after one failed drive caused a second drive failure in the array in less than 24 hours… I’d probably buy groceries for a week.

Plot twist: there are no biters, the planet just spits lava at you

…I thought you just said you’re running OwnCloud?

FYI, read this.

Jpg at 70% will lose a significant amount of detail. It is a “lossy” format, you cant judt compress data for nothing.

AVIF is significantly more efficient than jpeg, so it loses less image data for higher compression (smaller file sizes).

JXL supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is supposed to be more efficient yet over AVIF. However it’s got proprietary all over it because Google et al. For thst alone I would shy away from JXL and go AVIF.

I second RustDesk, I’ve started using it a lot lately and it works quite well even across the internet and NAT. Works best if you have your own server that you can use as a relay rather than direct connection or using RustDesk’s own limited public servers, but even without it, it gets the job done.

That’s the other option, yeah. If you already have a valid OEM key tied to your hardware though I can understand people not wanting to fuck with it.

I’ve switched almost exclusively to using RustDesk these days for anything outside of my LAN, and have had zero problems with it running on barebones machines, zero monitor connected. It’s open source!

If you’re wanting to use the windows built in RDP, there apparently is a DLL wrapper that enables the RDP server on Home installations. See github. I haven’t had to use it though because my machines are all, well, “legal” copies of 10 or 11 pro, so i cant speak to whether it works or not.
