Dear lazyfedi,

Does any of you use a NAS? Do you like it? Not like it? Anything I should know while being on the market?

I already have two twin SSDs, could get a third one maybe, but I have no idea what device I should pick and how much I should pay for it.

And I'm not entirely excited about getting another computer so I want it to be boring and durable. Anything else is nice-to-have.

Anyone, anything?

Where do people who self-host their websites, mastodon instances etc. actually host things these days?

(Hetzner are villains now, and so are DigitalOcean I gather?)

@leah @jeroen @datarama However, we can actually talk about making a special offer, which we have already done in the past. But you should be aware that we would still apply the same costs as described here: https://manual.uberspace.de/billing-general/#storage
If you are interested, the best thing to do is to contact hallo@uberspace.de :-)

Hey people,

Did you use a cloud backup provider/storage?

If yes, witch one?

Thanks.

Kennt und nutzt dies wer von euch? Für mich ist es anscheinend was Neues von der @linuxfoundation (alles kann ich nicht wissen).

Just for my curiosity:

The FAQ says "1000GB for teams"
https://www.nextcloud-one.com/faq/#storage

But pricing says "500GB for teams"
https://www.nextcloud-one.com/pricing/

Maybe this can clarified a bit 🌈

Still, thanks for your work

People like to say how it's so expensive to make video games today.

What makes it expensive?

Is it the high end hardware.

is it the fact that game devs like to make games 100gb+?

is it because voice actors want more money?

whatever it is, is it possible to get a good modern game that's atleast under 50 gb, that takes advantage of all the modern visual effects and graphic capabilities but not be so demanding and expensive making them?

It's funny because the newest call of duty is so big it had to be split up.
150 gb+ install size

Ieri non ho assolutamente portato a zero la batteria del tablet per tutto il tempo che ci ho messo a provare #app diverse e a vedere cose per risolvere l’ennesimo problema causato dalle nuove versioni di #Android… ok, in tutta onestà la batteria l’ho finita nel bus più tardi, però comunque, una buona parte della carica è sparita solo nel tempo perso prima. 😶‍🌫️️

Un altro po’ mi sembrava di star usando iOS per non riuscire a fare una cosa così banale come: aprire un file #HTML direttamente nel #browser, ed averlo funzionante, con anche il caricamento di tutte le risorse embeddate, senza ricorrere ad un webserver locale che causa solo rogne in più… come ho detto su OTIDroid, questa cosa sembra una cazzata, ma è sorprendente quanto è difficile da Android 11 in su:

  • Firefox Fenix non ha mai supportato i percorsi file:///, #mannaggia a te Mozilla
  • Firefox legacy funzionerebbe, solo che la versione più recente (v68.11.0) è comunque antica e quindi molte nuove #API web non vanno
  • I #navigatori Chromium, da quando sono aggiornati per targettare le nuove API Android, non riescono più a vedere qualsiasi file su /sdcard/, ma solo quelli multimediali (utilissimo eh?); e si, hackerare il manifest per portare indietro l’API target rompe la app
  • La più recente versione di Chromium precedente a tutte queste novità che ho trovato (~v79.0.3945.94) è comunque molto vecchia, stesso problema di Firefox

Evidentemente nessuno ha voglia di creare un browser che funziona correttamente, (nemmeno io, in quel momento volevo solo fare un po’ di programmazione HTML), maremma maiala… ma, per fortuna mi torna in mente che una #soluzione ci sarebbe: le app che usano la #WebView di sistema funzionano ancora normalmente (senza codice aggiornato per lo #storage) se hanno un target SDK vecchio ma, proprio perché il motore che usano è quello di sistema aggiornato, la compatibilità con gli standard è massima. 😤️

  • Sorprendentemente, di #browserini così che siano allo stesso tempo non mezzi rotti, abbiano un target vecchio, e il permesso di lettura dell’archiviazione, non ce ne sono molti. L’unico che ho trovato è “Tint Browser“, che funzionerebbe già così senza fatica, e stavo per usare quello… ma ha uno strano bug che fa sparire tutte le schede aperte sia alla chiusura della app, che la rotazione dello schermo… e non viene aggiornata da 10 anni, quindi mi sa mi sa che il #problema non sarà risolto. 🕸️

  • Ho però notato che virtualmente qualunque altra app WebView browser non si rompe se subisce quelle modifiche che ho detto all’AndroidManifest.xml, probabilmente perché sono così semplici che non hanno codice chissà quanto specifico a certe versioni delle API… quindi ne ho semplicemente scelto uno che mi piaceva, ho usato un editor di #APK per portare indietro il valore android:targetSdkVersion del blocco <uses-sdk> (mentre il permesso READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE c’era già quindi non ho dovuto scriverlo io), e in mezzo minuto il problema è risolto. 🌚️

    • Tra gli infiniti che si trovano ho preso questo “SmartCookieWeb” comunque, ha delle funzioni avanzate carine. L’APK già modificato, in caso ne aveste bisogno, l’ho caricato qui sul mio server.

Una cosa strana però: teoricamente è stato Android 11, cioè target 30, ad introdurre lo spacc più totale dei #permessi di accesso all’archiviazione locale, quindi a regola impostare il 29 (Android 10) sarebbe sufficiente a visualizzare il permesso di gestire tutti i file nelle impostazioni al posto di quello per soltanto i media… eppure io ho dovuto scrivere 28 (Android Pie). Sarà un fatto del mio Android 12 forse, boh, anyways the fog is coming fuck you Google. 👁️

Sometimes it's good to keep up with previews. We recently released the latest version of the #Storage module for #Azure #PowerShell. This release brings several changes for interactions with #AzureStorage Queues as we transition from a legacy data plane SDK to our modern data plane SDK (details in https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell-pr/issues/3261).

You can find the latest preview module on the PowerShell Gallery at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az.Storage/6.1.4-preview

Second try. Almost good, the push pin connection of the two parts is still too weak though (melted mine together). Going to tweak it a little before uploading. :)

Really want to find a strong connection that works without glue to keep it recyclable at places like #Recyclingfabrik #3DPrinting #computer

One more photo from under the table, this time with the disk inserted in the bay and operational.

According to a report by BloombergNEF, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be around 1.2 million tons of retired EV batteries worldwide.

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new technology enabling EV battery reuse: a type of power electronics equipment that can manage a variety of EV batteries as an energy storage system for an electric utility.

ok ok, it's true that my lab no longer has a LTO drive of any generation, but I still want one… LTO5 should be sufficient to backup a couple hundred terabytes right?

I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.

There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.

What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.

People always complain is slow or doesn't work. It's not Nextcloud 😃

If it can handle

  • 2.2 million active users
  • Store 3.5 billion files
  • Totaling 7.2 petabytes of data

It can handle your or business needs just fine if set up correctly without network issues 😉

You can learn more about MagentaCLOUD by listening to the latest podcast episode:
