Is it inadvisable to use an m.2 NVME drive as a storage location for video editing render cache?
  • SLC drives have around 100,000 write cycles. Most consumer SSDs are QLC now and those have less than 1,000 write cycles

    Source needed. The amount of write cycles is dependent on the actual quality of the flash.

    Also sources needed for "most SSDs are QLC now" maybe true for bottom of the barrel cheap useless SSDs.

    Also, the amount of write cycle does not mean much without knowing how many flash chips you have on the SSD. A 1tb ssd can consist of 1 or 16 flash chips.

  • EAS is not implemented so imap and pop3 only. But i heard they currently work on EAS and should be arriving in the near future.

    For EAS there is also a paid plugin Owl i think.

    How do you play/stream media from your server during offline hours?
  • Jellyfin doesn’t have local allowance baked in? I’ve never used it.

    Nope and that is also not needed, since it's not a cloud dependent service.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • Your entire argument was "Ah is useless and Wh gives consumers the information to determine battery life" So go ahead, determine the battery life.

    Not quit sure where battery life is comming from, thats not my argument. To restate and also better phrase my argument: Stored energy is the better measure for consumers for the quantification of the battery size in a consumer device compared to Ah stored charge.

    Now i can cross compare devices based on that and do not have to worry about the Voltage of the battery of any other devices.

    Please state the calculation that you would use to "determine how often you have to recharge" that is valid for Wh and not for Ah.

    I never claimed that this is possible. I wrote "can recharge" not 'have to". I am referring to devices like a power bank which i can calculate with a simple:

    powerbank has 100Wh and phone has 25Wh so 100/25=4 -> i can recharge my phone 4 times using that powerbank.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • If you can cite a single source where the manufacturer gives a specification that would give battery life in Wh, and not in Ah, I will concede the entire argument and say that you were right the whole time in every comment make a note that you were right.

    Basically every Laptop manufacturer.

    Primary Battery

    3-cell, 54 Wh, ExpressCharge™ Capable, ExpressCharge™ Boost Capable

    Dear iPhone users:
  • I am ONLY speaking from a consumer position and for those Wh is more useful.

    The consumer looks on device a and on device b and then determines how often he can recharge its device. With Ah you cannot do this unless you know the Voltage, with Wh you can make this decision without any further knowledge.

    Yes this does not include battery life or conversion of efficiency. But a cunsumer measures nothing he looks at the lable.

    It is fine if you don't understand electronics, but then don't spit out misinformation.

    Btw. no need to insult me. I have never put out misinformation, I may have not stated enough that I am viewing this as a consumer.

    Dear iPhone users:
  • The thing is, it does not matter how much charge the battery holds, it does matter how much energy it holds. Without knowing the Voltage the Ah is useless.

    How can I keep my forwarded port secure?
  • Then using something like fail2ban to block bad acting connections is far more effective and you even get a security benefit out of it.

    Also, when a few scripts try to connect via ssh DDOS your router then something is messed up. Either a shitty router from 20 years ago or you have a Bandwidth lower than 100kbps.

  • Getting "hit" is nothing to worry about by automated scripts. All it does is keep your logs a little bit cleaner. Any attack you should actually worry does not care if your ssh is running on 22 or 7389.

  • A port is not secure or insecure. The thing that can lead to security risks is the service that answers that port.

    Use strong authentication and encryption on those services and keep them up to date.

  • no. The default port is fine. Changing the default port does nothing for security. It only stops some basic crawler, when you are scared by crawler, then you should not host anything on the internet.

    Is there any way to save storage on similar images?
  • Thanks for that link.

    AI is the umbrella term for ML, neural networks, etc.

    ResNet152 seems to be used only to recognice objects in the image to help when comparing images. I was not aware of that and i am not sure if i would classify it as actuall tool for image deduplication, but i have not looked at the code to determine how much they are doing with it.

    As of now they still state that they want to use ML technologies in the future to help, so they either forgot to edit the readme or they do not use it.

  • Would be surprised if there is any AI involved. Finding duplicates is a solved problem.

    AI is only involved in object detection and face recognition.

    What do people here think of Nebula?
  • Yes. But it removes some benefits. You again open some ports or use a VPS to host it. The benefit of not needing to have open ports on other servers and central auth and management still stands.

  • The benefits are obvious:

    • No port forwarding needed
    • Central Auth management
    • Easy integration of new devices

    Not saying you should do it or that it is better overall, but ignoring those is not fair.

    Personally i would never go for Tailscale since i give away the access control to my kingdom to a company. Exactly what i want to get away from through selfhosting.
