I'm pretty certain this is just mastodon users, the Lemmy and Kbin usercounts are quite tricky to track.

This recent push of Masto users I believe were being attributed to musks rate limits and restriction of anonymous reading of tweets.

The past few weeks I've seriously missed the content over at DataHoarder.

Was nice to see mention of this community over here, hope to see more activity soon.

Can you share any details on the JBOD? How are you connecting it to the PC? I'd love something similar for my miniPC server.

For whats it's worth I've been running a fork of the syncthing android app for well over a year now and it's not skipped a beat.

Up to personal preference if you trust a fork for this work. But with sufficent backups I'm comfortable with it.

I'm in a similar boat, my Optiplex has a small m.2 expansion slot, I believe intended for a WiFi chip.

I nought a dual SATA card for it, just need to find a nice enclosure that will power 2 drives and provide a direct SATA connection to some 3.5" disks.

If anyone knows of some let me know!

I'm in a similar boat with storage stress, I have a mini Dell Optiplex with a single nvme and 2.5in drive available.

I have bought a small m.2 to 2 x SATA card, but I really need a nice housing + power for internal 3.5in drives to make it useful.

Anyone have experience with this? All I see online are USB drive caddies, I'd really love it to be SATA.

Hardware Haven have a video I think doing exactly that.

Oh what I'd give to have the space and cheap enough power for a full rack setup.

Damn that's frustrating, thanks for the info. I guess I already expected this to be a poor solution. Perhaps slow performance, but I guess I never considered the option of data corruption as well.

I wonder if something like ZFS in a mirror could be used to mitigate the risk of something like this?

I've also noticed the internet archive is doing some podcast stuff interesting the paywalled podcasts are there, but not accessible to the public.

Far enough, no point them painting a copyright target on their backs.

Would be interested to see torrents of podcasts get more love, when I last checked there really wasn't much out there.
