I have 2 x 20tb mirrored for hot storage
2 pools x 3 x 20tb in Z1 for warm backup.
And I have 2 x 14tb for cold storage
2 x 18tb at a remote location
All are refurbished drives

I’m running 160tb of refurbished Exos right now.
I throughout the years
2 x 10tb
2 x 14tb
3 x 16tb
12 x 18tb
8 x 20tb
I’ve only had 2 x 16tb fail within 500 hours. All other disks have 7k+ hours and are running fine.
As long as you manage your backups properly, you won’t need to worry.
Bought mine through server part deals. Their 2 year warranty is so painless. Shoot them the SN and smart data and you just swap disks.
If they don’t have the disk they just refund you completely.
I have only a few services. I could probably downscale my server.
AdGuard DNS
Tailscale and Zerotier
Open Media Vault
Jellyfin
Uptime Kuma
Graphana / Prometheus
Torrent/seed box
All on Proxmox and mirrored ZFS 2 x 20TB
For backups I use FolderSync and the default backup for windows. Super lazy, but I don’t want to be the IT support of the family.
You can try out Headscale. The self hosted/open source version of it.
I use enterprise drives because they’re cheaper and more reliable.
Got some 4TB enterprise NVMe for 150 each. They only had 3TB written, basically brand new.
You can try DoH to see if it is working.
It’s port 443 so it won’t get redirected by their filters.
Android uses DoT so maybe that works. Assuming that they don’t block port 853.
Try the encrypted DNS option to see if they are blocking all DNS providers or just certain ones.
You can also setup your own encrypted DNS on a VPS if you’re feeling brave.
Some enterprise grade stuff still use BIOS. But I haven’t messed with one for over 6 years
Raw files from cameras have meta data that tells raw converters the info of which color profile and lenses it’s taken with, but any camera worth using professionally doesn’t have any native corrections on raw files. However, in special cases as with lenses with high distortion, the raw files have a distortion profile on by default.
PiHole and then Minecraft actually all through CLI.
Imagine my shock once I found out about screen and SSH. I didn’t need to walk back and forth between my computer and the server.
I didn’t touch a GUI for about 4 years.
That’s not how PKI works?
Unless you know how digital signatures work better than me
Unless bitlocker is enabled by default, which is becoming more and more common unfortunately…
That wouldn’t work. YouTube ads are served with the same domain name.
I’m happy I started with Proxmox so I didn’t need to relearn another hypervisor
DDG proxy here I come
If you’re ripping, does 4K upscaling and 10 bit/hdr and dolby help with anything?
I use open media vault with jellyfin in a docker.
I use a framework for my laptop. I brought my own ram and storage.
Aegis with the password in a YubiKey.
My password manager and I don’t know the password.
I just buy a pixel 1 for 50 bucks. Then I use that to upload my current photos. Works flawlessly
I only really listen to them while driving 3+ hours.
My mind needs some engagement or I’ll fall asleep.
I listen to Dark Net Diaries because I’m interested in Cyber security, this American life because of the varied stories, wait wait don’t tell me because it’s light hearted, and car talk because of the nostalgia. I’m planning on grabbing a prairie home companion because my father listened to it, makes me think of him.
That being said. Dark Net is becoming a little more dramatic than I’d like, but it’s still good content.
