  • What's up with the prices of smaller used drives?

    Jump

  • My guess is that it is often hard for people to grasp that HDDs loose value much faster than other items they own. New HDDs are larger and offer better price per TB, and older HDDs have a higher risk to fail.

    I can buy new HDDs at 16€/TB, why should I spend 12€/TB on a used disk?

  • What's up with the prices of smaller used drives?

    Jump

  • I have no idea why, but I made the same experience. Used drives are in most cases much overprized. Often far beyond the price/TB of new, larger disks.

  • After some trial and error, I've managed to successfully deploy public instances of privacy-respecting services!

    Jump

  • Awesome :D But providing a speed test on a 10 Mbit line is IMO pretty pointless.

  • UmbrelOS: A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store.

  • umbrelOS is licensed under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license.

    I've never heard of this one.

    Real-world CO2 emissions of cars are 20% higher than indicated. For plug-in hybrids they are 250% higher.

    Jump

  • I think this is the real question. From the stats you posted, I'd say that at most 10% of Plugin hybrid owners charge their vehicles.

    Which is such a waste of ressources. Why does someone buy a car with 10 kWh battery and never even use it (beyond what the car charges itself)?

  • RAID or single drive for backups?

    Jump

  • I would recommend avoiding RAID for backups. It's preferable to have two separate backup disks in two distinct systems rather than relying on mirrored backup disks. If there's a human error on the backup machine, you risk losing both backups simultaneously. Additionally, unforeseen events like system failure due to a lightning strike could compromise your data. Ideally, you should have two backups stored in two different location.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Its a shame that most AI tech is hidden behind steep price tags and cloud subscriptions, while even midrange PCs can run interesting AI models.

  • Regarding your question B:

    I personally built a SSD-only homeserver, because of performance, noise and power efficiency. However, if you need much storage, the price difference gets really painful.

    Ferrari's first electric car will literally roar, CEO promises

    Jump

  • Now I'm curious, in which parts of the world is the usual city speed 60-80 kmph? In the united states, most citys have a speed limit of 25 mph (40kmph), while in Europe, 50 kmph seems more common.

    Jump

  • Thats true when the cars are driving fast, but don't forget that much of the time cars are driving slower through the city than most bicyclists.

  • Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs?

    Jump

  • True, they are much cheaper on aliexpress than on our local suppliers.

  • Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs?

    Jump

  • I think he meant something like these mainboards (german comparison portal). These mainboards contain the CPU.

    However, you also need memory, a case, storage and a power supply, which brings you closer to 200€.

  • How to auto-reboot if CPU load too high?

    Jump

  • Just as a side note, the load factor can also mean that processes are limited by IO:

    Unix systems traditionally just counted processes waiting for the CPU, but Linux also counts processes waiting for other resources -- for example, processes waiting to read from or write to the disk.

  • Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPO

  • But you should also take into consideration that this article did not get a huge attention. It is almost a week old and has a few thousand viewers.

  • Fully working 270€ Nest Dropcam will no longer be supported.

    Jump

  • True. And communication was also not ideal.

  • This reminds me of how Google handled the stadia shutdown. Now many controllers have got a second life thanks to the option to enable bluetooth.

  • What's wrong with Nextcloud, and why is it slow/clunky?

    Jump

  • I think the file server analogy isn't really fair. Nextcloud is better compared to Microsoft 365 or Google GSuite.

    All of these offer file storage, but also much more.

  • You're right, the new open source driver does not support the 1000 series and older, only Turing (2000 series) and above.
