What’s the exposure surface of this if I have remote access disabled?

He saying he used to be woke?

You want the big files to live on the NAS, but be navigable from your home dir for convenience and to discourage saving to the local disk.

And make symlinks for large collections, like ~/photos -> /mnt/nas/photos

Or maybe it’s the wrong language for the task. Macromedia flash is pretty good for animated websites, an enterprise asset management system, not so much.

My current cross to bear in an app written in Mulesoft because “it’s great with Salesforce” but completely unsuited for bulk data transfers.

Sucks to be stuck with bad choices made before you got there.

I control the date format, why would I choose something that requires additional logic to handle?

Path separators in my date strings? Hell no!

This is why VM snapshotting is so valuable.

My IDE is my real workstation, and it hosts a VM in which I can plop some code, run it, crash, revert and try again.

A service needs a server, not just a phone. Do you want to self host, or use the entire hardware installation in someone’s cloud data center?

You can run HA on lighter hardware, or use a VM or docker, but it needs something to host.

When I say “hey Siri open my garage door”, my phone does voice recognition, calls the Apple Home app, which calls my local Home Assistant server, which calls the RATGDO which opens the door.

It’s a niche of the hard drive market. It persists in “surveillance” HDDs but that’s because they’re optimized for endurance, and low noise is just a side effect.

Not too many people are putting a NAS in their living room.

I use Lutron Caseta which has a local hub and no cloud control. It’s the same company and I didn’t get that notice.

Wonder what’s different about the Decora switches?

A bot which goes around putting the #foo tag on every post in !foo@lemmy.world seems like it causes more spam than discovery.

There might be value in bot-assisted tagging, but tagging its own community isn’t it.

It’s basically a RAID + File shares like SMB.

Loads of DIY options, but I use a Synology so I don’t need to mess with anything.

I think you just described using a NAS as primary storage.

that doesn’t require I keep a full local copy of all the data

So you want a local self hosted backup, but also not a full copy? So like backup only recently changed files?

Are we talking personal offsite backup, or a commercial cloud service?

For cloud backups I like BackBlaze but I’ve never tried to use it as a general cloud storage drive.
