In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!

Firebox to run my Firefox. Other servers I’ve dedicated to hosting that I don’t interact regularly with I have been less creative with, usually my username and something to do with the server.

I lol’d at Evergreen. Excellent choice.

Respectfully, I disagree. Yes, indeed this first message is PR damage control, but there is something to be gained here for the FOSS community.

This backtrack sends the message out, discouraging other companies with legal departments from trying the same trick else they risk sales. If a positive resolution comes out of this (A. Andre’s project becomes officially supported by Haier with more features whilst being more efficient with API calls, or B. Haier develops a local API option) then it shows other companies there is value in working together with the FOSS community rather than viewing them as an adversary or as competition to be eliminated.

I’m glad the threat of being on a FOSS Hall of Shame is effective for some companies, and that they can’t just frivolous lawsuit away a hobby developer without consequences to their bottom line, which would have set a bad precedent against small-time FOSS developers everywhere.

Now their status to me is moved from “Shitlist” to “Shitlist Pending”, they’ve talked their talk so now it’s time to see them walk their walk. Best would be to allow users to control their Haier products from their own servers rather than Haier’s. That will reduce their cloud computing bills from 3rd party users but they can still offer “compelling value” in their walled garden ecosystem as a simple one-and-done setup. Win-win right?

Someone tell Gianpiero! You could save up to 20% on Amazon fees in just 5 minutes. Commit to a Local API today!

I’ve not set up Nextcloud myself, so a basic question first: have you already tried canyouseeme.org to check for the running service on that port?

If the service is not available, then either your server or the router isn’t configured correctly. If it is, then the problem is in the software.

Wuuuuuuuuuh!

Very true. Also I like your username :)

“RAID is not a backup” just means that the entire RAID disk counts as one copy of the files.

Non original media doesn’t matter unless you think you have old obscure things that aren’t even on Internet archive or private torrent groups, or it has some sentimental value like a VTR recording of something you watched as a kid. Most you can download again and likely in better definition.

Focus first on getting at least 2 separate backups of the most important stuff: your family photos and videos. Then records, then work stuff.

A SATA ADATA SU800 died on me after 4 years of use. (Luckily I had a weekly harddrive backup so I lost almost nothing! :D)

Samsung, WD, Lexar, Kingston generally are known reliable name brands (but Samsung warranty doesn’t work well in Canada). If you watch !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca like a hawk (Canada’s PC part sales mirrored from Reddit) you may find the occasional deal that is at or under $50/TB Canadian (roughly 36 US$, 35€)

E:I noticed it hasn’t posted in a couple days, wonder if it died or got banned

Awesome! I enjoyed using Roundcube when I once used a free hosting service many years ago.

A free open source solution to security will help drive adoption, and have people push back against the big players from artificially butting out small independents from the little club Google and Microsoft and a few others have made for themselves.

Can confirm. Would you like the Jimaku or Fukikae version?
