This edible ain’t shit. Better take another

I feel the same way about my Linux isos

Its too late. Theyre already dead.

PCMs are already used but also have their limits. They’re heavy and only help if you’re consistently going through temperature swings like behind Earth’s shadow. Depending on your Beta angle, which changes as the earth revolves around the sun and your orbit precesses, you could be exposed to sun 24/7, so PCM wouldn’t help much.

Fun fact, this isn’t all that effective because of the compressor heat/inefficiency. You get some benefit, but you also introduce moving parts and complexity.

Absolutely not. Probably divested from Israel, so now they can move on to the next thing.

Funny you mention it. This is exactly what I do. Don’t use the relay servers for syncthing, just my tailnet for device to device networking.

My most critical data is only ~2-3TB, including backups of all my documents and family photos, so I have a 4TB ssd attached which the pi also boots from. I have ~40TB of other Linux isos that have 2-drive redundancy, but no backups. If I lose those, i can always redownload.

For the delay, I just reduce how often it checks for new files instead of instantaneously.

Agreed. I have it configured on a delay and with multiple file versions. I also have another pi running rsnapshot (rsync tool).

Syncthing to a pi at my parents place.

We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.

We’ll just use AI to write the code! Shit it’s bugged. Use AI to debug it.

Are we the baddies?

Y’all are getting backpacks?

He’s going for gasps!

This is what happens when you don’t scum save.

That’s what everyone says, but you really should just wait until next year comes around.

In line with other commenter’s posts about security, if you’re new then don’t expose anything to the internet. Tailscale is great way to access your data remotely instead and doesn’t require opening yourself up to the internet in mass.

As for hardware, budget will rule over all. If you’re looking for a quick and dirty backup solution, then a raspberry pi with a drive attached and running syncthing will be perfect for you (and easy to setup). Again all on your tailnet/tailscale.

If you have more budget, then your options explode. You can use a whole range of hardware, OSes and software. Regardless, start with one service you want to run and go from there. Sounds like that’s media and pictures for you (as it was for most of us here).

What!?
