  • Syncthing Backup w Raspberry Pi

  • OPs request was could they do it with pis. Yes you could. HDD is max 120mbs, with SSD over USB interface you get a lot more even thought its not running on the pcie bus. It is totally functional as long as you aren't streaming 4k to your TV. And it is more than enough for most people. As a reliable backup solution it works, but best if you use a drive enclosure that is powered, rather than relying on the USB power of the drive adapter.

    You seem irrationally irked about a viable suggestion, to OPs orignal question. Sorry if I triggered your inner nerd 😀

    PS. I'm not talking getting nvme speeds on USB, I'm saying if you use an msata ssd you get tons more bandwidth on USB than HDD

  • I think you missed the part about me saying older Pi, being cheap. Like you can pickup a pi3b for $35 where as I'd have to pay $150-180 for a pi5. People get focused on hardware that is overkill for their needs (especially if you track access and system load). You can probably get a deal on an old thinclient or nuc also. Its good to show people options.

    For example I have a 15 year old arm board with 256mb non expandable RAM. (Dedtined for the garbage dump) with debian It handles music streaming and samba shares perfectly fine with an SSD. And doesn't even use 50% of the RAM.

  • You don't have to have pcie for a simple nas, USB with an SSD is fine. I ran my video, audio and samba shares on it that way and its plenty good.

  • The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage

  • Across Canada maybe, but Vancouver is not like that. When a place comes up for rent landlords have mentioned they have 50 applicants the first few hours that day and have to take the ad down.

    This metro area is building high density housing on previous forest and farm land, and they are always snapped up quickly. I forget that stats, but something like 1000 new people move to metro area every month from other countries and provinces.

    The rent is high here because of a lack of units available. Among the financial BS with banks.

    In Vancouver people build a minimum 200 sq foot outbuilding in the back yard and as long as it has bicycle storage it is considered a rentable housing unit.

  • As a counter point you can grab an old Pi for cheap and install OpenMediaVault OS and have all the NAS tools you need managed from a GUI.

    There are Plugins for tons of self hosting options, and GUI docker management for your own add ons. (New versions dumped portainer, in favor of their own GUI tools).

    Pi3 is fine Pi4 would be better. Wattage is between 4-7

    I used to host this way till I found a fanless heatsink case for a ITX board.Idle wattage is 15, and 23 for processing heavier tasks

  • I think it definitely has gotten a tarnished reputation. But even modern software tiers are standard, advanced, premium and premium means you get all the features at a huge price

  • Read it before, seem normal. It mentions info about who contacts the user, and elsewhere something about IP and logs. But if there business operating model is true they have no keys they can decrypt with. If they do them proton is no different tjam google

  • My old oven had Sabbath mode. It just stays on at a baking temp, and apparently because its considered a "golem" operating the "fire", then no work is done by a human so it is allowed.

    To me that's just finding loopholes in your religion because you don't like its restrictions

  • Any research on damage to clothes from drying them in a dryer?

    Jump

  • I don't have a study, but the tumbling and rubbing wears on clothes, compared to hanging to dry.

    Some good shirts you will notice the collar seams and other edges start to wear.

    In some cases like jeans and cotton cashual henley style shirts this gives a softening effect.

  • At an airport there was a long wait and elevator was packed. My father in law and kids all got in, and now it's full then it goes to next floor and more people cram in. Now it is over stuffed. Goes to another floor and my father-in-law was fed up, when the doors opened he shoved the front people out and said this is where you get off and hit door close. They were saying "hey this isn't my floor".

    Poor etiquette on both sides but still makes me laugh.
