I can proxy for you.
They don’t charge me tax and only $15 shipping. Then shipping within the EU is 15 euros max
I use UTC for all of my logs. Keeps it less confusing.
I have 2 x 20tb mirrored for hot storage
2 pools x 3 x 20tb in Z1 for warm backup.
And I have 2 x 14tb for cold storage
2 x 18tb at a remote location
All are refurbished drives
I’m running 160tb of refurbished Exos right now.
I throughout the years
2 x 10tb
2 x 14tb
3 x 16tb
12 x 18tb
8 x 20tb
I’ve only had 2 x 16tb fail within 500 hours. All other disks have 7k+ hours and are running fine.
As long as you manage your backups properly, you won’t need to worry.
Bought mine through server part deals. Their 2 year warranty is so painless. Shoot them the SN and smart data and you just swap disks.
If they don’t have the disk they just refund you completely.
Works fine for me. Firefox, Android, and within the EU.
Isn’t SCMP not super reliable?
It’s owned by Alibaba.
Or am I being overly critical?
I have only a few services. I could probably downscale my server.
AdGuard DNS
Tailscale and Zerotier
Open Media Vault
Jellyfin
Uptime Kuma
Graphana / Prometheus
Torrent/seed box
All on Proxmox and mirrored ZFS 2 x 20TB
For backups I use FolderSync and the default backup for windows. Super lazy, but I don’t want to be the IT support of the family.
I use enterprise drives because they’re cheaper and more reliable.
Got some 4TB enterprise NVMe for 150 each. They only had 3TB written, basically brand new.
Because NIPRNET sucks to do OSINT.
You don’t want to be in the military for anything PSYOPS.
You’d be better off as a contractor.
Nah, their software is so infuriating to work with. Even when an SSD it falls to load video clips. Often I have to restart unifi protect on the console or even ssh into it to do and apt update/upgrade to get it working again.
Self hosted might be a little better, but I’m not holding my breath.
The coveted 5 9s of availability is only 5.26 minutes of downtime
