  • Seagate launches 30/32TB capacity Exos M mechanical HDD (30/32TB capacity)

    跳过

  • Our first computer was a Macintosh Classic with a 40 MB SCSI hard disk. My first "own" computer had a 120 MB drive.

    I keep typoing TB as GB when talking about these huge drives, it's just so weird how these massive capacities are just normal!

  • Yeah our file server has 17 Toshiba drives in the 10/14 TiB sizes ranging from 2-4 years of power-on age and zero failures so far (touch wood).

    Of our 6 Seagate drives (10 TiB), 3 of them died in the 2-4 year age range, but one is still alive 6 years later.

    We're in Japan and Toshiba is by far the cheapest here (and have the best support - they have advance replacement on regular NAS drives whereas Seagate takes 2 weeks replacement to ship to and from a support center in China!) so we'll continue buying them.

  • In addition to needing to fit it into the gear you have on hand, you may also have limitations in rack space (the data center you're in may literally be full), or your power budget.

  • That marketing copy is just amazing.

    First of all, acknowledging that the blimp is "incredibly wacky"

    Then trying to sell the fact that it doesn't float, mount or have any powered features as "Just you and good clean fun!"

  • I saw the New Mac Mini on display

  • It's not so much "constantly leaving it plugged in" as "constantly leaving it at a high state of charge" (near 100%) which naturally follows from the first.

    In recent versions of iOS and macOS, Apple have added features to keep the battery at 80% charge as much as possible for this very reason - it massively extends battery life to not be at 100% all the time.

    Noun PC (countable and uncountable, plural PCs)

    Initialism of personal computer.

    A personal computer, especially one similar to an IBM PC that runs Microsoft Windows (or, originally, DOS), usually as opposed to (say) an Apple Mac.

  • Will any UPS work with Linux?

    跳过

  • There isn't a standard that is broadly-adopted, but NUT (https://networkupstools.org/) has reverse-engineered drivers for nearly every UPS out there, usually each brand has their standard so as long as the brand is supported it will work. (NUT is also what TrueNAS, Synology, QNAP, etc use internally for their UPS support)

    I've had good luck with using NUT with APC UPSes (both consumer models and buying used enterprise rack-mount models).

    One cool thing you can do with NUT is share the UPS state over the network, so that multiple machines can respond to the power state instead of just the machine that is plugged in via USB directly.

  • First Router Designed Specifically For OpenWrt Released

    跳过

  • Yeah after doing a bunch of testing what I settled on was a used ThinkCentre Tiny with a dual 10G NIC running OpenWRT, and then a cheap Chinese PoE switch with 4x2.5G ports and 2x10G SFP+ ports. Router and my main computer on 10G, NAS and Wi-Fi (UniFi AP that I've had since before) on 2.5G, and then everything else is on a separate 1G switch.

    For a home network, 2.5G LAN is really the sweet spot. The hardware is affordable now, the spinny drives in my NAS can't realistically do more than 200 MB/s for a real workload, there are no single-stream downloads online that are going to be faster (the fastest "normal" download I've seen is 2Gbit from Microsoft)

  • I just got upgraded to 10 Gbit internet the other week and was looking at routers, and it seems to be a surprisingly common configuration (or routers with 10 Gbit WAN and 2.5 Gbit LAN ports). I think router manufacturers are banking on 99% of people only caring about Wi-Fi and then being fooled by those "up to 7000 mbit over wifi!" numbers. And then due to scale those are the only chipsets that are affordable.

  • Tesla releases API pricing, dev says would cost $60 million per year to run his 3rd-party app

  • Another reminder to developers to not bother with public APIs, just screen-scrape or reverse-engineer the official app private API.

  • Expanding Synology

    跳过

  • When I was following Synology communities closer, the common wisdom was that the expansion units weren't great in either performance, stability or cost, and you were better off buying a new, bigger unit and then selling your old one used to recoup the cost difference.

    I'm also in the same position, I have a DS918+ that is full. It's also 6 years old and probably on the tail end of getting software updates so I'm weighing my choices...

  • The really janky ones you get with like USB gadgets like fans only have the 2 power lines hooked up and not the lines needed to communicate PD support, those will work exactly the same as the same janky USB A-microUSB cables they used to come with, supplying 5V/2A. You throw those away the second you get them and replace them with the decent quality cables you bought in bulk from AmazonBasics or something.

  • True but pretty much the only devices that need those are high-end SSDs and laptop docks and in both cases you just leave the cable with the device rather than pulling it out of your generic cables drawer.

  • I mean even Apple hasn't released a laptop without a 3.5mm headphone jack, going back to the Macintosh Portable in 1989†. Even the 2017 MacBook 12 inch that only had a single USB-C port still had a headphone jack.

    1/4th>3.5mm

    Oh wow you need a dongle? Why don't laptops include 1/4th jacks, there were perfectly fine, industry keeps changing things

    †edit: looks like the PowerBook Duo subnotebook series between 1992-1997 also lacked headphone jacks

  • My barometer is when it's something that pretty much only the U.S. is obsessed with doing, then it's probably a dumb thing caused by lobbyists or something. Fluoridation of water falls under this.

  • Post your setup. no matter how uggo

    跳过

  • It's 6 years old now so I can't really complain but even new ones don't come with 2.5Gbe by standard, it seems that should be cheap enough to throw in there by now. At least a lot of the new ones can be upgraded internally to 10 Gbe.
