You can buy twice as many drives, though.

Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.

before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.

Set up an alert for when the drive you want goes on sale/in stock

Are you doing things through docker compose? If so, feel free to PM me or reply here with your compose file and I’ll help as best I can

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space

I just bought a Sony BRAVIA 8 and it’s close to this. Never connected to WiFi. It goes directly to my HTPC input and I never see the home screen unless I want to.

Drives failures vary by model number more than by manufacturer. Buy seller refurbished drives from serverpartdeals if you don’t want the companies to get your money.

I tried like three times to daily drive linux before it finally stuck.

Hopefully if it’s a decent oven there isn’t that much heat on the outside. I guess if you just left the door open, it might eventually melt

More updates = better, of course!

Most of the updates seem to be features or UI changes that nobody asked for.

Edit: original title was “USS Eisenhower flees Red Sea” or something like that

Dumbfuck OP doesn’t understand ship rotations.

The Ike was set to leave the red sea to return home. Even while in the Mediterranean, its aircraft can still conduct missions in the Red Sea.

Regular ship rotation

Different branches work together all the time.

It’s really not gonna change anything about the outcome, unless the broken bone just happens to cut open his radial artery, which is highly unlikely.

Depends on if it’s entirely folded up or if one end is left open.

Ayy this is exactly what I’m wearing
