  • With the recent happenings with Synology/Plex, I’ve decided it’s time to make the move and up my self-hosting game, just need some input from the veterans to solidify my plan and put it into action.

  • For what it's worth, Synology Hybrid RAID is just a fancy GUI over linux mdraid, so the drives can be mounted on any Linux system (Synology even have instructions for how to do this on their website). You'll be SOL mounting them with any kind of third-party NAS GUI that expects their own partition layout though.

  • What are you powering with it?

    You plug it straight into the wall, it syncs to the grid and back-feeds it, up to 800W. Your meter stops spinning (or even goes backwards)

  • because if the grid went down, these types of panels could keep feeding the house, out to the street, and electrocute a line worker

    The inverter in these is designed to shut down if it doesn't detect a waveform from the grid to sync with - they are unable to create a 50 Hz AC wave on their own. As long as the hardware is legit (which is a big if with how easy it is to get unsafe junk in from China) there is no safety issue, it's purely regulatory.

  • They've been trying in Sweden by pushing paternal leave to make it so the males are just as likely to take time off as women so it's more equitable, but there was a lot of pushback on "forcing men" to do it and not allowing for "individual choice" as to who takes the parental leave

  • In Japan they let kids go outside without supervision starting a really young age.

    Yeah I live in Japan and my daughter started going on errands ("go get some milk/eggs") alone at age 5. All kids are then expected to walk themselves to elementary school starting from the first week, there is no room for drop-offs from a car.

  • Same here. Some of the things that have helped make our situation easier:

    1. Where we live, by law my wife got a year per kid off of work for childcare. I don't know how people do this without a full-time parent.
    2. Since I work remotely, if my wife had a rough night, she could sleep during the day without worrying the kid was going to kill themselves because I would be around.
    3. Our kids were definitely on the easier side, especially our first. They almost never cried for zero reason (90% of crying was quickly remediated with the "diapers, hungry, sleepy" checklist), they quickly started sleeping well, etc. Some people have complete devil kids, colic, etc.

    What we gave up was doing things together as a couple (romantic dinners etc), as we always had to either bring the kids or stay home with them, but we could still do things on our own when we wanted to. We have family nearby, but they deemed themselves "too old" to look over the kids when they were still babies. Now that our kids are in elementary school age they've been able to sleep over once or twice a year when we get to do a parents getaway for our anniversary etc.

    Jump

  • In the EU, as long as it's under 800W it can be plugged directly into an outlet in your home without any kind of installation, back-feeding the grid that way.

    You're not getting paid anything for the power you send back into the grid so anything you don't use you lose.

  • Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

    Jump

  • And that's probably what will kill them as payouts get worse and worse making other platforms more attractive as you're not losing as much. A lot of YouTubers I follow seem to becoming more and more reliant on Patreon as ad revenue goes down.

  • The lack of alternatives where creators actually get paid for people watching their videos is the biggest problem.

  • China is quietly pushing ahead with massive 50,000Mbps broadband rollout to leapfrog rest of the world on internet speeds

    Jump

  • I have a cheap noname chinese switch with 2x10gbit ports and 4x2.5 Gbps ports, so I have the 10 Gbit ports to the internet and my computer, and use a 2.5 gbps port for my NAS, everything else is 1 gbit

  • This is why I'm still using a Synology ¯(ツ)/¯

    I can install all the fun stuff I want in Docker, but for the core OS services, it's outsourced to Synology to maintain for me

  • (or even Ethernet)

    Technically, those 100+ Gbps fiber LAN/WAN connections used in data centers are also Ethernet, just not twisted pair.

    That said recently I was in a retail store and saw "Cat8" cables for sale that advertised support for 40 Gbps copper ethernet! I wonder if any hardware to support that will ever be released. It is a real standard, approved way back in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Gigabit_Ethernet#40GBASE-T

  • I have symmetrical 10 Gbps at home ($30/mo) and I'll agree. When it's nice when you have big updates, for most households 1 Gbps is going to be just fine. As you say, the vast majority of users are bottlenecked by Wi-Fi.

    The bigger crime are all the asymmetrical connections that people on technologies like Cable TV networks have, where you get 1-2 Gbps down but only something tiny like 50 Mbps up. This results in crappy video calls, makes off-site/remote backups unfeasible, means you can't host anything at home, etc.
