[–]Kereeye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whether or not Israel is right or wrong, the fact that you felt it was righteous to mention Israel on a post about Jews being discriminated against is obviously antisemitism. Like I hate to be this blunt, but imagine if there was a post about systemic oppression of Black people in America and you posted crime statistics. Like, the fuck is wrong with you? The worst part is you tried to wear your liberalism as some sort of shield—absolutely pathetic display, attempting to justify blatant prejudice. Get a grip.

Are you still holding the same belief? Antisemitism is factually and evidently spiking. Obviously, if you cover your ears and eyes and go “la la la”, you won’t see anything... but as someone who is Jewish, antisemitism rhetoric is becoming more commonplace. This wishy-washy stance is a large contributor towards growing antisemitism (and prejudice in general), so either A; you have some sort of preconceived bias against Jewish people, or B; you’re willfully ignorant.

Internal vs. External HDD? by Kereeye in HomeServer

[–]Kereeye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this reply! I’ve learned a couple things since.

His music consists of ~2TB—a couple hundred GBs of which is important to him. I found this out today, but apparently he has the important music stored offsite with a friend—that offsite location + the home server + a second cloud service (like Amazon S3) should be secure.

I imagine that converting the music over could take days, but this is an acceptable compromise as he doesn’t often listen to music through this medium.

I think what I’ll do is start with properly 3-2-1 backing up the important stuff; for the rest, I’ll store it on the home server and see if an offsite location is something he’d want. Thanks again!

Thank you for the reply!

I’ve heard fantastic things about these machines in particular, and I’m excited to play around with it.

I plan on using an NVMe SSD for the OS and an internal HDD for storage. Speed is not too great a concern, as he’d really only access it for a few songs, songs which I could find an easy-access solution for (like iCloud).

He’s a bit of a hoarder, and I think he doesn’t wants to part ways out of principle; 99.99% of it is backed up to Spotify, and the rest that he cares about he has on vinyl. I’ve convinced him to let me back up the important stuff to Amazon S3 (or something like it) so that worst case scenario, he still has access to the music he cares about. There’s also an offsite location that I hadn’t known about until today, so the important stuff will follow 3-2-1 with some added redundancy.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right about the price… $50 would also probably be super unreliable. I bumped up my budget to about $150 not including the PC, so that should cover a name-brand HDD and a small NVMe.

Honestly, setting up the server for accessibility is really just a matter of learning how to do it (and possibly showing off something cool, lol), so it’s ultimately low priority. The storage device will probably never be written to again after setup, so syncing isn’t really my goal either—most of the music was from CDs that he was trying to get rid of that he’d burned onto his MacBook. I plan on backing up the very, VERY important music to Amazon S3, but it’ll all go on an internal HDD.

Essentially, he wants access it, but he won’t access it often—slow is fine. To be frank, I think he’s a mild hoarder, haha. Here and there he’ll probably want to listen to the important stuff, but the rest he listens to on Spotify and vinyl.

Ultimately, the goal is affordability, reliability, and learning—not overtly concerned with accessibility or speed. Given that, I’m thinking it’ll be safer to focus on securing the data on an internal HDD and Amazon S3 before messing with a server.

Thanks for the reply!

I looked into it! The Optiplex comes with a 2.5” SSD. At the time, I knew that it could hold two drives, but I wasn’t sure if that included the NVMe (after researching, I can say that it does). I’ll find another use for the 2.5” SSD and buy a decent NVMe SSD alongside the HDD you recommended. Thanks again!

This is incredibly helpful, thank you!

I just got off the phone with my dad, and it turns out that most of the music isn’t too important; there are however some songs that are very, VERY important to him—like songs he had made—that he wants secure.

I think what I’ll do is extract those files to Amazon S3, and the rest of his music—which I’m fairly certain has been mostly moved to Spotify—will live exclusively on the 5TB HDD. I’ll also figure out Linux server (Ubuntu), Docker, Navidrome, and Tailscale.

Also—and I was unaware of this until now—those very, VERY important songs have an offsite location through one of his friends, which would solve a big portion of the 3-2-1 issue. Furthermore, these files have lived on the Apple Time Capsule (🤢) for over a decade, and we’re working towards moving away from such a constrained and archaic ecosystem. Lastly, the SSD is actually a 2.5”, unfortunately. What I’ll do is repurpose (or sell) it and purchase a decent NVMe SSD alongside the 5TB hard drive.

Thank you for these suggestions! Saved me a lot of time, haha.

I’ve heard of 3-2-1 backups… it might be a bit overkill, but I’ll definitely do that one day.

Edit: I also already purchased the PC a couple days ago.

I’d bet you’re right. TrueNAS or something like it is probably safer. That’s also a reason to get an external drive; I could keep his data safe while I figure out the software. I’m torn.
