Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office)....
If you go for WD red plus 12TB drives, they are helium filled and less noisy even than the 8TB air versions.
I have one and it is silent when not tracking, but all hard drives have some seeking noise. Mostly because it is irregular so human ears pick it up more than white fan or spinning noise.
Best idea for absolute noise reduction in the same room is getting a good closed case, reinforcing with some foam panels with a direct air path that you can direct through a cupboard cutout for example.
What you are looking for is high capacity SSDs in this situation, but that is pricey.
Use antennapod. They literally highly discourage donations now because they have enough donations to cover their operating coats and then like 50% extra on top.
Because updating a podcast app is literally not a full time job if it is so stable as these two apps. They both release small feature updates and bug fixes for a while. Antennapod even did a full UI update to the new material standard.
Pocketcasts devs seem to want maximum profit from it. They probably have an order of magnitude more income already than antennapod due to how many more people use it and how they push subscriptions. I just don’t understand why they need that much money.

One could argue that it is preferable to serial killers.
Serial killers meticulously plan and often torture their victims extensively and many of their victims families never get closure because nothing gets tied back to the killer.
Mass gunman attacks, for example, kill orders of magnitude faster with much less pain for many of their victims, the perpetrator isn’t active for a long period of time, and the families get closure.
Of two severely fucked up scenarios that happen, it seems that one is worse.
I am very confused what you mean that a phone doesn’t count as a 2nd factor.
Your password is factor one.
An OTP is factor 2, whether it is on a phone or a yubikey makes literally 0 difference practically. It is a “something you have”.
If you need biometric unlock to get into your 2fa app or on the yubikey itself, that is a 3rd factor of “something you are.”
If you are very worried about someone compromising your phone app and already knowing your password, (which is not how 99% of intrusions are done) then put a pin or fingerprint on your 2FA app and it is back to being a secure 2nd factor.
The probability of someone breaking into your phone, hacking your bitwarden password, and having a fingerprint exploit that allows them to break into your 2FA app is like 1 in 1 billion unless you are like top 1000 most important people in the world. But as a thought exercise, a dongle indeed has the potential to be more secure because it is an additional “something you have” to your phone.
But this is only the case if you store your passwords in a plaintext file on your phone. Something that I hope nobody would be dumb enough to do, but I guess many people would.
If you have an encrypted password manager like Bitwarden or so where you have a single long password to open and get at your other long secure passwords, then it is essentially a different factor than your phone, right? Since having the phone unlocked would do nothing to help the attacker get to your password vault.
That would be nice because their current 2 years of support is pitiful. It was on the dot too. no support for my 5 ii at all after exactly 2 years after launch…
My battery is at 70% (according to accubattery) after only charging to 80% for its entire lifespan except for monthly health checks. Extremely dissapointing that it has such a low quality battery. That coupled with the fact that it drains almost 2-3% per hour sitting unused on a desk in WiFi makes it a quite shit battery compared to most other phones I’ve come across besides the HTC10 with its battery drain bug. And you better hope you aren’t in low cell signal area because the Xperias with pump out their battery trying to get a signal forever.
By comparison, my girlfriend’s Samsung drains about 0.4% per hour, can go literally a full day in low cell signal areas, and only has to charge every 2 days if she doesn’t use it much. I have to top up 20% or so by late afternoon to get through the day without dropping to 5%. The trade off is the better camera on the 5ii.
The Xperias are above average flagship phones, pretty much all of the critical things for longevity they messed up. Battery cycles, software support, and charging port mating cycles. Which I guess makes sense given they want you buying new ones since their target audience is small.
Oh wow! If I leave my 5ii on overnight at 50%, it will be at 20% by morning when I was asleep. But the 10 has a much less power hungry processor, so that definitely plays a role.
I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...
Lol as if. It is owned by the trade union who workers are required to be a part of, but have 0 say in.
The “union officials” are not chosen by the workers, but by management who are chosen by their management and so on until the Chinese head trade union officials which are party men who, just like in the old soviet Union, are essentially the chinese bourgeoisie. It is essentially a fascist oligarchy which is the exact same as under capitalism, just a different structure and cover story.
The workers get 0 say and there is no evidence that they share in the profit either, and huawei does not deny that structure either.
Then they buy stocks and assets and borrow money and carry debt based off of their overvalued assets. They already do that now to pay 0 taxes.
In order to combat this you would either have to tax debt/loans, tax unrealized gains, and/or tax assets like houses and vehicles more highly than income tax.
All of which have staggering implications for normal people also. It really is a tricky thing to get right.
Maybe ban using stocks as loan collateral and make capital gains taxes have a progressive bracket from 0% for <100k per year up to 90% for more than 1 billion or something. Rich people will always find ways to dodge having to pay what they owe for the labor they exploited.
I’m using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine....
The point is that there are hassio addons which do not have any regular docker counterpart, and for the ones that do, there is little to no documentation that gets them actually integrated into the Home Assistant sidebar. They work as their own separate entities and can communicate, sure. Sometimes that is even more desired. What if I want ESPHome as an item in the home assistant sidebar? I have yet to find a guide on how to do that.
How can you get the Home Assistant Google Drive Backup working in docker compose as another example? Extremely useful and only available in HAOS or supervised. Yes there are workarounds and other services, but they are workarounds and other services
Well, moving the goalposts, but exactly, it doesn’t solve the problem at all that I talked about.
Again, it is completely fine if people want separate services, but there is currently seemingly no documented way to tightly integrate services into homeassistent to be able to be used within homeassistant via containers.
For shit Comcast it is 1TB which is ridiculously low.
Then they also completely lie to your face about your metrics to make it look like you are always constantly almost at the 1TB cap.
My mom in America just had xfinity installed last fall at her house. She barely uses the internet besides web shopping, articles, and some Netflix. Every month she was somehow at 950-980GB. New WiFi password so there isn’t an intrusion, her computer was fine, there is no way she is using that much. Comcast just lies to your face to higher data caps. Data caps for internet should be illegal as it is.
They are only pro developer because they aren’t breaking into the market well at all.
I guarantee that if they ever have a breakthrough and start approaching 40% sales or more, they will double their cut for sure.
Their cut is literally only to draw in developers and operate at a loss, subsidized by other income or investors, to gain as much market share as possible before jacking up prices.
It is the exact scummy playbook that amazon went by to drown their competition with their bare hands. The only difference is that Epic doesn’t understand the market at all and won’t commit resources to improving their store.
