What are good harddrives to use with servers in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

That's a good hint, although I wouldn't mind too mich. personally. My server is located in the basement.

I don't keep track actively. I noticed problems when reading a file and looked at the drive with smartctl for that reason. Does anybody know how to keep track actively?

that wouldn't be a problem for me, as my server is located in the basement. But good to know!

my currently failing drive is a WD as well... 🥴 I bought it a year ago, I think...

I was thinking actual hard drives, not SSDs...

I have quite an extensive collection of media that my server makes available through different means (Jellyfin, NFS, mostly). One of my harddrives has some concerning smart values so I want to replace it. What are good harddrives to buy today? Are there any important tech specs to look out for? In the past I didn't give this too much attention and it didn't bite me, yet. But if I'm gonna buy a new drive now, I might as well...

I'm looking for something from 4TB upwards. I think I remember that drives with very high capacity are more likely to fail sooner - is that correct? How about different brands - do any have particularly good or bad reputation?

Thanks for any hints!

not astronomy, ok, but what about a "total eclipse of the heart"? memeable?

is Privado VPN good? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago

you could look into other ways of pirating, that don't necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it's mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you're only downloading and it doesn't cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it's a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you'll mostly find current mainstream content.

Get notified on Mastodon for new Github releases (codeberg.org)

I'm selfhosting several services, mostly based on docker containers. Many of these are managed on Github and publish releases there. What annoys me is that I regularly miss updates.

I'm also quite active on Mastodon so I thought it would be handy to have a bot automatically scanning for new github releases and posting a new toot for every new release.

The bot can be configured to scan multiple different github repositories and publish to different mastodon accounts.

I have set up accounts for:

https://mastodon.social/@navidrome_releases
https://mastodon.social/@vaultwarden_releases
https://mastodon.social/@dockerpihole_releases
https://mastodon.social/@tempo_releases
https://mastodon.social/@unifidocker_releases

You can use the notification feature of Mastodon to get a notification, whenever a new post is published. Just follow an account and hit the little bell icon on its profile page.

Here's the code, if someone is interested in that:

https://codeberg.org/ryan_harg/github-releases-bot

Is this something that you people find useful? Which other services would you like to see covered in that way?

Mailto links not working with Thunderbird (Flatpak?) (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I can't seem to make Thunderbird (supernova, flatpak) work with mailto links from my browser. The system handler correctly launches Thunderbird, but then, after a short wait time, a dialogue appears:

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

If I do close down Thunderbird, then it works. But I'd expect to be able to have Thunderbird running.

Any ideas what's wrong here?

New community for Navidrome (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

After using Funkwhale for some time, I've recently set up Navidrome as a music streaming server and I'm well impressed about the easy installation and quality of the software. Seeing that the official community channels are all outside the fedicerse I have decided to create a Lemmy community for folks interested in the topic. It is an unofficial community, but it is linked from the main Navidrome website, by now. If that's interesting for you, I'd love to see you there!
