That’s a gross generalization and simply untrue.

My server rack is located in an uninsulated attic with two tiny windows. I haven’t measured the ambient temperature but I think it’s over 40°C. Yesterday one drive in my storage server reached 65°C - so for today I have shut it off until the rain comes. Fun times.

Obligatory: RAID is not a backup.

Security in software is about implementation, not different programming languages. Security as a whole is also not something you can achieve just by installing “secure” software - every software has bugs and vulnerabilities. Some of them are known, others are unknown and not every one of them automatically poses a security risk to you, this depends on the bug, your usage and environment. You can try to harden your system, but you need to do this in layers and the application code is just one of them.

For example, you could geoblock IP addresses so their requests never even reach your application. This does not mean that you’re automatically safe from attackers from e.g. Russia, but you make yourself a less easy target.

There are many other defense mechanisms like request limiting, dynamically blocking malicious requests with something like Fail2Ban, strong authentication, frequent patching, network segregation, virtualization, and so on. I hope you see where I’m going. Security is complex and depends a lot on your personal threat model.

That being said, if you need to know how secure the code of a given software is, you need to find something that has recently been audited or audit it yourself.

It doesn’t look like anything to me.

I might be cynical, but moving away from Synology and Plex because of the writing on the wall and then choosing Unraid probably won’t end well.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the love for Unraid even though I don’t use it. It looks nice and newbie-friendly and you can throw all your random disks at it regardless of size. But enshittification will come for Unraid and I personally think that it has already begun.

“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.

That’s wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.

EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don’t think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It’s easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it’s naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.

Thanks for your response!

What made you switch from TrueNAS Scale to Unraid, if I may ask? Is it just the ability to mix different drive sizes? I’m currently using TrueNAS Core and thinking about migrating to TrueNAS Scale.

Shit’s fucked.

“White House Faith Office”, that sounds like someone is pushing the “Faith” branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the “Faith keepers”. Ugh.

I have an offsite NAS where I run the Restic REST server as a docker container. I connect to it over Nebula but you could also use a traditional VPN, Tailscale, Headscale, Pangolin or whatever.

Works like a charm.

Good.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks!

Uhhh, I have always used Docker for Home Assistant with no issues? That being said, I’m no HA power user at all - so maybe you could elaborate about the limits you’ve encountered?

I’ve recently listened to a podcast with the german astronaut Matthias Maurer where he discusses this question - What exactly makes you an astronaut?

He stated that there are several definitions, mostly based around altitude but if you want the European Space Agency to call you an astronaut you also have to fly around the earth in space at least once. So by ESA definition, Katy Perry would not be an astronaut.

I was recently reading a lot about these because I wanted to use three Lenovo M920x for my homelab as virtualization hosts with Proxmox.

The really cool thing about them is their low power usage, that you can easily buy them used/refurbished and that you can fit a small PCIe expansion card into them.

I didn’t use them in the end because sadly 22110 M.2 SSDs don’t fit and I wanted to use enterprise SSDs for Ceph.

However, your use case seems simpler, so I’d think a M720q or maybe even M710q (without PCIe slot) would do, for less money than the M9xx series (which support vPro).

There’s a really nice forum thread on ServeTheHome with loads of information about these units.

Uhh, interesting! Thanks for sharing.
