I've been pleased with it. Family is very relaxed about projects like this, but yeah it's low power draw. I don't think I have anything special set up but the right thing to do for power would be to spin down drive when not in use, as power is dominated by the spinning rust.

Uptime is great. Only hiccups are that it can choke when compiling the ZFS kernel modules, triggered on kernel updates. It's an rpi 3/1GB RAM (I keep failing at forcing dkms to use only 1 thread, which would probably fix these hiccups 🀷).

That said, it is managed by me, so sometimes errors go unnoticed. I had recent issues where I missed a week of rsync because I switched from pihole to technitium on my home server and forgot to point the remote rpi there. This would all have been fixed with proper cron email setup...I'm clearly not a professional :)

Not the same, but for my Immich backup I have a raspberry pi and an HDD with family (remote).

Backup is rsync, and a simple script to make ZFS snapshots (retaining X daily, Y weekly). Connected via "raw" WireGuard.

Setup works well, although it's never been needed.

Link(s) in post contain punctuation and break, at least on my client. Here's the codeberg link (working);

Best ad ever IMHO (sorry for funky link, YouTube if you prefer).

No dialog, no rampant consumerism (hot sauce is a necessary food), no sex/sexism, no emotional manipulation.

Or, malicious compliance by someone with a moral compass. Best is to somehow leak documents wholesale. But if that's not possible, I think the next best way to all but guarantee that the information gets out is to do a lousy job censoring, and let "The Internet" do the rest. It also makes the administration look even more stupid, especially in the eyes of technically minded folks.

But yeah, not the best and brightest, that's certainly a possibility.

No one "shatters," "breaks," or otherwise ~~surpasses~~ violates the diffraction limit. Rather, you operate in such a way that the diffraction limit does not apply.

This is not to take away from these accomplishments at all! All manner of super resolution techniques are fantastic, but they're not violating the diffraction limit; they are violating the assumptions that go into the diffraction limit, or they are using a different definition of resolution (which is completely valid), or both.

I would probably add "transmit power" in there somewhere, but I guess if you're assuming regulatory limits then it's not a big variable.

Every so often there's a post on Lemmy about how you should stick it to your landlord and put grease down the drain.

This is why that's a bad idea, and it sucks for everyone, not just your landlord.

Not sure how serious your comment is, but I could certainly imagine Microsoft introducing new dependencies/hooks/all-executables-must-support-copilot, etc., that break compatibility faster than Wine can keep up. Glad to hear that's not the case!

For old stuff though...yeah, I'd hope it's not moving backwards :)

VNC? You have your choice of servers, and clients are ubiquitous.

A big gotcha is that you need to be careful with encryption/security, as in classic UNIX style VNC does one thing (remote desktops). It's easy to forward over ssh though.

You can also use VNC to share, which is not what you want; this depends on the type of server/settings. But you can definitely create a new virtual X11 session and access it remotely.
