Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, since it's a SHR (or RAID-1), you shouldn't have suffered date loss, right, so at least it's merely a inconvenient thing, having to replace it, not a severe problem.
Hooooly .., you are really determined and serious about disk space, huh? 🤣 That's impressive! (And expensive, I guess.) I only have about 4 TB usable space (2x 4 TB in a SHR plus hot spare plus backup disks as a RAID-0), which is plenty for what I use it for at the moment.
Personally, I didn't find the quality of Moment's object recognition convincing and eventually disabled it. So here's hoping that it might have gotten better (i.e. better trained models) over time... What bothers new more, though, is the inflexibility regarding face recognition results: last time I checked, one still could not remove false positives (i.e. incorrect tagged persons) or manually add face tags. Hopefully, this will be possible in the future.
I can only answer this regarding Windows machines, but I guess it to be similar with the Mac software: The Active Backup for Business client runs as a system service (i.e. a daemon), so the system only needs to be running; you can configure how a backup is triggered. I have it setup so that a backup happens once a day (not several times) either if the system starts, the screen gets locked or the system is idle. I can't tell when the backup is happening (there's no impact on performance and no indicator for the user), In only see it in the logs on the Diskstation. I suggest you just try it out. 🙂 And if you do, please share your results/answer here so that others in the future can benefit? Thanks.
Luckily, I have never run into anything like this, so I don't have useful ideas to offer here, unfortunately. But hopefully someone else here has a clue... What RAID setup do you use (SHR, SHR2, RAID-1, ...)?
How nice to see you here! 🙂
Are you that site's owner (a.k.a. Dr_Frankenstein)? 🙂
If your model is Docker-capable, there's a whole new, exciting world waiting! :-) And the site I linked to is a very good starting point for that journey, because it has many, many easy to follow tutorials.
Beautifully written, and moving. I think I understand how you feel, and I empathize with you.
This would be cool regarding the current scaling problems with too many users choosing the same instance (it would make “distributing” the load easier my making it possible to move already created, existing accounts, if the user wishes to), and also would it solve the problem if an instance is to be shut down for whatever reason, people also could “take their stuff” and go “somewhere else”. Let's see, maybe it'll be possible in the future.
If I were to switch from Lemmy to KBin (or vice versa), would I have to start over (e.g. create a new account there and lose all my comments etc.)? Or would it be possible to “migrate”?
Understandable. :-)
