I’m already asking, no one listens to the people anyway

Wringer huh? TIL

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.

Oh no! Anyway

The shortest distance between Tesla and your house is a full circle around the country.

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).

This sounds like streaming problem that I’m too jellyfin to understand

Plex borking itself a year ago for me is the best thing that could’ve happened. Long live jellyfin

I haven’t seen reddit ads in at least two years

Having worked on these systems, datacenters in space still don’t make any economical sense to me. Cost of shipping, additional power and thermal limitations/challenges, much greater radiation environment causing corruption and premature hardware failures, and little to no maintenance/upgrade opportunities. Zero sense

Except radiation is much much higher around the moon, resulting in greater corruption events

And there inlies the problem. Big surfaces are expensive to ship

Citizen, you have been found guilty of wrong think!

Tempting, but I’ll stick with free sponsorblock. I could be convinced to switch if they started paying me though
