The problem seems to be that even with a perfectly clean slate, no services running, the system set up in their own RAID0 SSD pool, the HDD’s, even with 0 bytes of data on them, are being pinged for access at least once a minute.
if it’s for drive health stats, and the device runs linux, hd-idle could help. it only counts actual block device (so, storage) access as activity
And don’t think that SSD drives would do better - spinning disk drives generally have far better idle power than SSD does, and usually much better write power consumption.
I wonder if they can be “spinned down” like hard drives. their startup time would be much faster, so it’s shutdown could even be on a tighter schedule. I mean probably they dont have an internal idle timer, but who cares if you can just have something like hd-idle that shuts it down according to a better schedule.
In my experience using a PC as a NAS, the power draw isn’t necessarily the drives as they spin down when idle.
that’s not always the default setup, especially with enterprise drives. also if you have some kind of monitoring, that can keep the drives from going down (for that, use linux hd-idle instead of drive internal idle timer), and it can also wake them up (for that, prometheus node exporter’s smart collector first checks whether a drive is up, and only then collect stats). Interestingly, checking temps with smartctl always spins up my drives, while linux hwmon can give me live temp stats even while the drives are down
of course they didn’t say that, but the request for such tools was in the title
personal backups over torrent? and who would download that?
hmm, you are right. it’s not actually a bug in the renderer then
ok, but most of the times this would be useful I wouldn’t send another in the foreseeable future, probably even in multiple years
I have good news. I have just read the Proxmox 8.4 changelog, and they added support for using virtiofs with VMs, so now using it does not seem to require hacks anymore! But the limitation with databases probably still applies.
@[email protected] unsure if you have read it already so tagging.
I run proxmox, and proxmox manages the zfs pool, there are VMs for important and convenience services, where important only hold things needed for the machine to work (so networking related) and metrics. I also have a desktop VM for the occasional use, and you can install opnsense later if you want an advanced firewall for VLANs and maybe internet too.
the storage is made accessible through virtiofs shares, but setup is quite hacky, and some things don’t like it (like it can’t store any kind of databases) because virtiofs works technically like a network filesystem, and does not support some consistency features (yet?). maybe ceph would be a solution, it is natively supported by proxmox.
if I were to build a new one, I would try out TrueNAS, it’s newer linux based version. I heard that can run VMs too if needed. I suspect that it can be more user friendly, but I haven’t used its web interface yet ever.
I use Syncthing for other purposes, but I think it’s pretty complicated for a one-off transfer.
given that most people use windows, it is:
exchangeing IDs is especially tricky if you both are in a call, and the PC does not have a messaging account that can reach you, because they live on their phones or something
I mean, you can write a plugin to support arbitrary subtitle format.
I was meaning NPAPI plugins, to replace the whole video player element. I don’t think any modern browsers still support it, but it’s a bit funny that VLC’s installer on Windows still offers installing its plugin
this is not a defined thing in markdown, just the markdown renderers of some clients do it
is it right that both of these only work on LAN?
Don’t most browsers support this?
but not all web servers. often it’s disabled
I love it so much when reddit lemmy clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9…
edit: oops, still sometimes writing reddit instead of lemmy after almost 2 years…
what’s with the downvotes? it was a pretty good joke! emojis everywhere, talking bullshit, All-in-One Cod8ng Program™ with 50 (!) tools and 10 (!!) languages!
honesty I thought it was intended that way.
until I saw the username, that is.
Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.
on SO sites all the difference is a single click. and you have to allow scripts and cookies for both, so no difference there.
oh the find with the hash sum is good advice! I would have done this but manually, maybe with the double commander sync dirs tool.
but also, for configs this might be the best time to move your custom config to ordered dropin files for all things that support it.
just wait until they start vibe coding on their brain implant
not really. not all drives spin down by themselves, by default. and even if they do, it’ll happen relatively long after reads and writes, a the while it’ll consume power.
