Congrats. Good luck self hosting Wordpress!

I think thinking about offsite backup/object storage is very relevant to self hosting.

I’ve been on backblaze and using my bucket for video and it has been working well. I know it’s a pain but have you tried setting up a new bucket? Maybe you got a weird server in their data center …

I’m sorry to great it’s been so frustrating for you. I know we all have our own tolerances for random junk and I’m glad you’re making the right decision for you at this time.

I’ve been running mailinabox for almost two years now and it has been very good for me. Especially once I send some email to my family members’ Gmail address and had them Mark it as “not spam” my deliverability has become very good.

Clicking is ominous given that dmesg shows it’s stuck at spinning up. Try it with another adapter on another computer. Otherwise I wouldn’t trust it to work: what if you put data on it now and it fails?

Oh good lord

Good catch thanks, was thinking about setting this up for a family-friendly hobby, but not sure if I’d need to manage having an age limit…

M.2 is just a connector standard. Depending on the motherboard and the type of m.2 (like type E or type M), different signals can be routed to that connector/slot: SATA, pcie, even USB! Probably more things I don’t know about.

mSATA is an old standard which basically is totally unused today. SATA over m.2 is a newer standard which seems wine l some usage.

I don’t know about mPCIE but it also sounds like an older standard than pcie over m.2, and probably not compatible.

That’s cool I’d never heard of it. I’ve just been using libreoffice.

Yep I use caddy for all that. Bonus is caddy has a docker compose proxy plugin where all your domain/port/cert config can be part of your each application’s compose file, rather than needing to make adjustments in caddy centrally. Works great for my purposes.

downvote to oblivion

Even Sheogorath doesn’t want this stuff.

I remember being told cdr aren’t reliable for long term storage. Are Blu-ray better? Looks like there’s something called M Disc too…

I think that’s right. Maybe the release profile needs to be applied to the quality? I’ll see if I can open my configs up and find where it applies.

I think in quality profiles you can set up blockwords. I did that to block Dolby vision “DoVi” releases as I couldn’t get them to play reliably.

Some pcie cards can add a buuunch more sata ports. There are also some m.2 cards that can do this.

So Fat, she ate the 68k executable and had the PPC one for dessert!

Reject humanity. Embrace vibe.

Hope it helps. There are whole categories of self hosted software I hadn’t thought of before. Maybe I should try some of them! 😁
