SRV records won’t help with browser traffic.

It’s bad form to just say “set this variable to this value” without any explanation about what that variable does and why that value helped.

Your configuration may not work or may be detrimental for others.

memory safety isn’t impossible in C

In practice it is.

C is also faster than JavaScript, uses less memory, I wouldn’t consider a scripting language to even be a choice for writing a backend server if I can use a compiled language instead.

Neat.

No. Go away. That’s not “starting a social media app” now is it?

Besides, even the Linux team has started the shift away from C.

Edit: besides - “Linux does it” doesn’t mean it’s beyond criticism. Linux has had numerous security vulnerabilities due to C.

C is a “memory unsafe” language. There are whole categories of security vulnerabilities that simply aren’t possible in memory-safe languages that C allows. There is no good reason to continue using C anymore for new projects if you care at all about security.

Bonkers that anyone would start a social media app in C in 2025. “No JavaScript” but you’re just one buffer overflow from arbitrary code execution.

Let’s be honest - in this community NAS means “my do-everything server that may have a RAID and probably also shares storage”.

All my systems are backed up with “rsnapshot” to a file server. File server is backed up to backblaze with duplicacy.

🤣

I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?

Only you can answer that - what is your risk tolerance for data loss?

You’re not going to run deepseek r1 without GPUs (plural).

I’m also considering UnRaid instead of Proxmox for a NAS OS.

NAS just has no meaning anymore?

Ah - I gotcha. That’s some terrible luck with drives.

This is why I do my first-level of backups with rsnapshot. It backs up to the plain filesystem using rsync and uses hard-links to de-dup between backups. No special filesystem, no encryption, restore is just an ‘rsync’ away.

“Wankpanzer” is the one I’ve been going with.

Is it? I guess I don’t know the difference… I installed mine myself but my system is also dead simple - only 2 wires. My first thermostat was just a bi-metallic strip. 😀

I believe so, my system is baseboard so I didn’t use a fan. There is a fan control option on the device. The instructions say it can do auto, on, of, circ.

I’ve got a couple Honeywell T6 z-wave thermostats that work great and didn’t cost a lot. I control them through home assistant with some custom code to set them on a schedule, but they can also still be operated manually if needed.

I’d highly recommend not doing that. A smart thermostat is much easier and going to be a lot more reliable. And it won’t stop working if your server goes down.
