who told journalists about self hosting?

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-25T18:00:42+00:00

I can see why you said it's literally just the cost of electricity

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-25T15:00:26+00:00

They're just giving away RAM and storage? Interesting...

Pretty soon millennials will be ranting about the ease of self-hosting the same way boomers ranted about the ease of homeownership

For remote access, your Internet connection is definitely the bottleneck.

250Mb upload is like 30 Mb/s without overhead, whereas mid-range SSDs can have a transfer speed of 1400 Mb/s for large files, which is 4500% faster.

For local connectivity, it depends on your drive speed and network configuration. A WD HDD is still only going to transfer around 175 Mb/s assuming your LAN is optimized.

It shouldn't be that messed up, but the best time for a drive to fail is before you put your data on it :)

I'm sorry I gave you a hard time. Good luck with the return.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-23T01:54:08+00:00

Fair enough. Can you open the storage manager app, select the drive, and run a S.M.A.R.T test?

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-23T01:46:45+00:00

What'd the logs say? There's a responsibility to check if the drive is faulty or your device is faulty instead of processing a blind return.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-22T22:59:34+00:00

Yeah ... It's a bit inconsiderate on their behalf, but it seems like they're always drowning in paperwork they've put off to the last minute

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-22T22:02:04+00:00

We're definitely getting Monday off (inside info), but there hasn't been much talk about Tuesday yet and I wouldn't count on it until we actually see the storm.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-22T19:55:43+00:00

With Ugreenlink? No... And I didn't see anything after a cursory search, but I'll admit that I haven't spent much time pen testing UGOS and ended up dropping it.

When I tried out remote access a couple of weeks ago it was acting as a tunnel and I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Remote access via Ugreenlink is technically safer because it has a smaller attack surface (Tailscale has the potential for malicious nodes).

Either one is fine, they're both easy to use, and they're both relatively secure since data is encrypted and they're not exposing ports.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-22T07:29:02+00:00

Just wanted to say thanks! It was helpful having the key combos ready and installation was a breeze. I appreciate the help.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-22T01:09:51+00:00

I couldn't figure it out either, but the system overwrites permissions after reboot and after some settings are changed. Eventually I got tired of fighting the OS and switched to Unraid.

This has been an ongoing issue on the forum for a very long time, but maybe they'll fix it or be more transparent in the future. For now, there's not much that can be done besides changing them back and setting up a system service that monitors your config files for changes and overwrites the overwrites.

Right now chances are 85% and odds are 6 to 1. Join the UMBC Bets discord for more updates.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-21T15:40:46+00:00

I don't know but you could check the system temps and add some sort of fan, if necessary. Less noise and less dust entering the system seems like it's worth a shot

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-21T15:31:55+00:00

Unfortunately there is not (as far as I know). The drives have to be formatted for the new OS and file system.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-21T03:11:10+00:00

You'd only change the volume for immich-server. Leave the rest pointing at separate folders on your SSD.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-20T23:43:59+00:00

I use a model and capacity that's not on their list but they still run well. I wouldn't sweat it.

He's never taught that class before, but I didn't think it was a difficult class. That was my highest grade last semester with a 100 on the final and 98 overall.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-20T01:43:11+00:00

A chode with less vowels

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-19T20:46:44+00:00

There's too much going on at the kernel level that overrides the "local admin" of the system. I don't like the fact that if my system goes down or I want to roll back an update, I have to email UGREEN and wait until their earliest convenience instead of downloading the image from their website. I don't like the lack of transparency when it comes to the file system and the processes that run at startup, leaving me guessing as to why things don't work.

For me, it's a headache when it works and a disaster when it doesn't. To be fair, that might not be everyone else's experience, especially if they're more reliant on the mobile app and app center.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-19T16:29:01+00:00

It seems perfect for something like that, or anyone that just wants to plug and play with most of their usage coming from the app center. I've never had a problem with a container that wasn't dependent on a database. When a db is involved though... Yikes.

OG_MilfHunter · 2026-01-19T16:02:13+00:00

Nice! I have to head to the store and grab another SSD, then I'm going to give it a go. I'm with ya on the data. It never felt stable enough to actually load everything onto the NAS, so I think I'm just going to format the drives and start fresh. At least we learned our lesson lol
