Seems pretty easy to ‘improve’ with some paint?

r becomes f, add a .org

12 disks go to sleep after 60 min of inactivity

That will kill your drives far sooner than a temperature spike. load/unload cycles is one of the biggest HDD killers.

Google did some research on this way back when. Failure rates start going up at an average temperature of 35 °C and become significantly higher if the HDD is operated beyond 40°C for much of its life. That’s HDD temperature, not ambient.

On the contrary, they found that temperature had almost no bearing on failure rate.

My fileserver regularly ‘enjoys’ 45-50c during the day when I’m not home in summer.

Aircon isn’t cheap to run, so everythings getting fried while I’m at work (getting fried since we don’t have AC at work)

mstream just uses folders, so you can organise however you want.

Apps for Android and iOS, webui for everything else. Does basic (single setting for whole server) transcoding if you wish (I don’t for mp3/m4a/ogg sets, I have them on a second server instance, mstream is very light)

Vivaldi is basically just old opera without all the bullshit.

Don’t feel bad, just share back :)

Hardware RAID is dead.

• They’re no faster than Software RAID today

• They’re vendor and often model locked to a particular make or model of card (so if your card goes bust, so does your array, where software options you can migrate the entire machine to a completely new one, as long as the disks are good so is your data)

• ZFS wants access to individual disks anyway

Check which raid card your Dell shipped with, if it’s a PERC H200 or H310, you can flash it to IT mode to make it work as a plain HBA. If it’s a PERC 700, you’re SOL on IT mode. I’m pretty sure it can expose vdrives, but that’s probably more trouble than getting a cheap HBA at that point.

The problem is actually kwin-wayland, kwin5 on X11 was very frgual, where both kwin5 and kwin6 on Wayland eat vram for breakfast. Right now my desktop is using 4535MiB, the biggest user being plasmashell itself at 1120MiB

It’s not actually a wayland problem though and If I really wanted I’d of dropped back to X11 when I was still running plasma5 - but Wayland brings more solutions to the table than problems.

Linux on system RAM: I sip

Linux on VRAM post-Wayland: BIG GULPS

I used to be able to run a desktop on less than 1GB VRAM, now with 16GB it fills up starts misbehaving.

Not Arch, it’s 100% bog standard on Arch.

Which is great and what most people want, but the parent poster wants something pre-configured to be minimalist.

NFS seems a poor choice for mobile when simply losing the link will cause end user troubles.

I hard dropped it years ago when a momentarily dropped link would mean you needed to reboot the client machine or you’d lock up for minutes at a time trying to poll the mounted directory. (which, when pinned in a gui file manager, meant every time I opened the file manager or a save dialog box, my entire system would just lock up for minutes at a time)

I use an unholy combination of smb and sshfs now, since they can fail gracefully where NFS just can’t.

That’s just Docker in a nutshell.

And I would of gotten away with too if it wasn’t for meddling fediverts!

Double Storage space (Done!)

Done for the year already!

Intel A310 would be pretty decent for this- ~$100usd and can encode h264/h265/AV1

Hybrid Hard Disk? (I don’t think anyone makes those anymore)

That’s how it started, as more of a replacement for Corel Painter, but today it’s a very competent photo editor too, personally I find it much better than GIMP.

It’s not free of pain points though - text editing sucks compared to Photoshop, (it’s similar but better than GIMP though, both input text into dialog prompt then render it, GIMP is one and done, you need do it again if you want to edit, Krita lets you edit) no WYSIWYG on the canvas.

Also getting used to the UI will take a bit from PS.
