yes it is a symlink to /var/home

i few drives that I have are 10yod and a couple more 5+..

do modern drives meant to last and be replaced every a couple of years?

I dont mind if a drive fails because ill have dupes.. what I want is to minimize the failures.

wd red+ and wd ae make look promising but i dont have an experience with them

absolutely!!

exciting but def not for me :)

Ubiquiti camera’

are the G1 and g2 discontinued? do you know if the new versions are 'smart' (g5)?

When they say AI detection, is it something that requires an internet connection with their cloud?

No but I rebooted the system after the change. do still need to update it regardless the reboot?

to grue: its mainly because i have the tools and time and i can make it cheaper than buying it (buying things ready spoils the fun for me) also i cant find a frame mounted front rack unless I pay someone to make it custom

i edit it with a link

i despise plastic and i want to minimize it where possible.

in this particular case the components will be exposed to the sun and that will degrade the plastic over time, and that is something that wont happen to wood :)

alu is a no go as it cant be repaired easily. (and its also weaker than steel in my experience)

in the end i want to easily put 30kgs on a frame mounted rack that is made from me.

https://hembrow.eu/dscf5165.jpg im thinking something like that (thanks for the info and the links, lots of reading to do)

Im still in the process of learning more (i think ill get a book on wheel building and see how it goes)

in my experience going to the store almost always costs more (but then again I only make simple single material stuff that dont require crazy equipment) To give this rack as an example, steel front racks are going for 100eur++ (check those surlys lol) and for what I want (which needs someone that mades custom racks) will easily go above 200eur.. (the plan is to make it with at least half)

for me its not just the fun.. the reasons are mainly ideological. (making, repurposing, reusing over consuming)

i agree.. but Im trying to find out if the chances of this shit happening is lower with specific hdds

For now I only want to connect a camera. Im not sure what a POE injector does so I havent realy thought about it

If wheel wobbles wouldnt that also make the disc wobble?

editing the /etc/fstab didnt work (I just changed the path but not sure if the uuid plays any part) but ill give the rm/mkdir part a go

i was hoping for a few insights before I make an offer. (After the offer Im planning on doing all a full survey on the building)

I think 'sar' is a good candidate for cpu, memory and network data?
