Thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely at least start with mdadm since that’s what I’ve already got running, and I’ve got enough other stuff to worry about.
Are you worried at all about bit rot? I hear that’s one drawback of mdadm or raid vs. zfs.
Also, any word on when photoprism will support the Coral TPU? I’ve got one of those and haven’t found much use for it.
Lucked out on eBay and got it for $50.
Picked up a LSI SAS 9305-16I. I was always planning to do software raid, so I think it’ll do the trick for zfs.
I understand all of that. Sorry I didn’t explain it well.
I have a RAID6 for data and a single HDD for system files. I’d like to move the HDD to an NVME/SSD. I suppose I could make another RAID with an additional NVME, but I’ve found it easier to deal with booting off a traditional drive.
My solution for redundancy for the NVME is to just backup the bits that I need every night. These are usually just a few hundred megabyte database files. I’m curious if that’s a typical solution.
edit: to clarify, it’s a software raid with mdadm.
Ok, so I spent the weekend getting my own Pixelfed instance working for my friends who want off Instagram.
My big question, is how do you discover new content?
Sure you can follow people on other instances, but how do you find them in the first place?
Also, basically all of the content I’ve been able to find so far has been artsy photos of fences and beaches and whatnot. It’s pretty and all, but there’s not much of humanity in my feed.
PSA: Download all your kindle books. Even if you don’t plan on cracking their DRM, you’ll have the option to in the future should you want to.
