  • Douglas Adams already worked out the situation:

    Lallafa wrote about a girl who had left him and precisely what he thought about that. Long after his death his poems were found and wondered over. News of them spread like morning sunlight. For centuries they illuminated and watered the lives of many people whose lives might otherwise have been darker and dryer. Then, shortly after the invention of time travel, some major correcting fluid manufacturers wondered whether his poems might have been better still if he had had access to say a few words to that effect. They traveled the time waves; they found him. They explained the situation – with some difficulty – to him, and did indeed persuade him. In fact they persuaded him to such effect that he became extremely rich at their hands, and the girl about whom he was otherwise destined to write with such precision never got around to leaving him, and in fact they moved out of the forest to a rather nice pad in town and he frequently commuted to the future to do talk shows, on which he sparkled wittily.

    Lallafa never got around to writing the poems, of course, which was a problem, but an easily solved one. The manufacturers of correcting fluid simply packed him off for a week somewhere with a copy of a later edition of his book and stacks of dried habra leaves to copy them out onto, making the odd deliberate mistake and correction on the way.




  • Your only choice would be a mirror, as you only have two bays. RAIDZ2 needs at least 4 drives to be useful.

    Have you checked that you can actually run a different OS on the UGREEN NAS?

    Considering the services you want to run on the machine you’ll want all the RAM you can get.

    Also, the CPU is already weak by today’s standard, especially with “heavier” workloads like Immich machine learning.


  • self-hosting

    and people who want it to work with minimal friction.

    We’re talking (potentially) highly sensitive contents here for the most part. Yes, selfhosting has become easier than ever, but at the same time more people who basically lack the experience and/or patience to actually understand what they’re doing want to start selfhosting. And that simply doesn’t end well in an alarmingly high number of cases.

    Yeah sure, of course there are tools that can make life easier. But have a look at the “big” self-hosting packages. A lot of them will need at least some manual configuration. Then there’s the “exposing a host to the open net” aspect, which can (and usually will) introduce a whole different level of attack surfaces.

    So combine that with the ever-growing number of self-hosters, and of course you will notice more advice like that.
