Neat! That was a dealbreaker back when I last tried it.

I use Jellyfin with the Symfonium mobile client.

Navidrome is popular but does not support multi-tags for some fields, like artists.

1. There is no “special” benefit to a pre-built NAS. They have convenient software but there is nothing exceptional about them. They’re just computers with storage drive slots. Using a bunch of external drives via a USB hub would be fine. But is that your only expansion option on the system you have? Access speeds via USB, especially if using a hub, won’t be ideal. It’ll certainly work, though. You can also get enclosures to put full size HDDs in, which can connect to an existing system.

2. RAID is still the way to go, but since you don’t need much storage, I’d start with RAID 1, not 5. 5 will require a rebuild with a new drive if something goes wrong, while RAID 1 will work with 2 drives and give you complete mirroring. Since you intend to have a “local” backup copy anyway, why not just skip that and use RAID 1? It’s literally the same thing, except it’ll actually provide uptime in case of failure, unlike a backup drive or raid 5.

3. So RAID 5 plus a local backup, plus another offsite? This is overkill IMO. (Not the offsite backup that’s good. But raid+local copy. Just use two drives and mirror them using whatever you prefer.) In your place, I think I’d go with BTRFS in raid1c2 mode. This is like raid1, in that with two drives, you only get the capacity of one drive. But, the “c2” means that each data block is mirrored to two drives. With more than two drives, you can expand storage. (With three 2TB drives you’d get 3TB) You don’t get as much available storage as with raid5, but you get expandability, which you normally don’t with raid1. And you get uptime in case of failure without an array rebuild (though for this you must mount the volume with the “degraded” option, unlike actual raid using mdadm). You also get filesystem snapshots.

4. You intend to do this manually? That is fine. My current solution is a second NAS at my dad’s home, to which my system is backed up daily using Kopia. Kopia deduplicates and compresses the backups, efficiently keeping versions up to two years back. The simplest version of this would be a router that can host an FTP server using an external drive in its usb port. This way you could automate off-site backup and have it happen more frequently. Asus routers can do this, and even come with free dynamic DNS and automatic https with letsenrypt. You literally just plug it into WAN somewhere, and you’ll be able to back up to it over the internet.

Finally, just some mentions.

MDADM, is what you’d use to create a software RAID array.

BTRFS has built-in multi-device storage, of which only single, raid0, and raid1 are stable. Do not use the raid5 and 6 modes. While named raid, the modes differ from actual raid. BTRFS is able to convert from one mode to another, and can add drives in any mode (though will need to “balance” the drives after changes, to make additional capacity available). It is also able to evict drives. It will not auto-mount a volume after drive failure, and requires the “degraded” option be added.

Mergerfs can be used to merge filesystems to expand storage non-destructively. It is able to arbitrarily combine volumes of any type, to combine their capacity. This way, it can for example be used to expand a raid1 array by combining it with a single disk, or another raid1 array, or whatever else. This can be done temporarily, as the combined volume can also be disassembled non-destructively, with each file simply remaining on whatever drive they were on.

Welcome to premium khajit wares.

You have coin, yes?

That’s rare.

Being predators cats have a hunger drive that kicks in early to make them look for food before they’re too weak to hunt. In nature, cats are usually always a little hungry. Hence, if the food is palatable, most cats will eat constantly and end up eating more than they need by at least some margin.

It’s not an active decision by the animal, but rather the hunger drive, which can vary quite a lot between individuals.

This is complicated by the fact that cats are picky, to the point they can outright refuse to eat something they aren’t used to, or just eat less of it.

My cat would never stop eating his favorite treat (freeze dried meats), the same cat eats a little too much kibble if I let him, and no wet food at all no matter how hungry he is. This kind of thing, you might argue is a decision.

The flap things are part of her hair.

Well yeah.

The post is about kittens.

I’m talking about pets in general, and how they don’t decide stuff like this.

A downvote doesn’t suggest anything at all.

This comment does.

That’s… Not what I’m saying. What the fuck?

The kitten doesn’t need to stay fat. That’s all.

If a pet is getting its food from you, it’s on you to give it the right amount.

The same applies to asking a vet for advice, if you don’t know.

Bottom line: The health of a pet (or any animal in human care) is the responsibility of the respective human.

My second comment initially made ABSOLUTELY NO STATEMENT beyond that fact, or what it means in practice.

Ok.

Doesn’t change that the health of an animal kept as a pet, is the responsibility of the respective human.

Edit: are you downvoters assuming I’m suggesting you separate the kitten and mother? I’m not.

Kittens and mother cats should go essentially untouched by humans for several weeks after birth.

After that, just don’t continue to allow the kitten to overeat and it’ll be fine.

Pets don’t decide to be fat.

Pet owners decide to overfeed them.

And once again Konami proves they have no fucking clue what horror fans actually want.

These companies keep trying to grab both bones, completely failing to realize the second bone is a fucking reflection.

They have tapped some genuinely competent studios for this comeback of the franchise, but tightening the screws, like, at all, and this shit will blow up. Setting up four games from the start may already have been a mistake.

If Konami wants more, they don’t need to make more Silent Hill. They have so many alternatives.

FFS, they are sitting on fucking Zone of the Enders, despite Armored Core showing there’s plenty of appetite for that kind of game.

Or how about a modern Castlevania? Anyone?

Or, get this, publish for some small indie studios with neat ideas for completely new stuff, as a low cost way to discover new potential franchises?

?

The 580 driver does support wayland, it’s not that old. Or are you worried about future breaking changes since you won’t get updates?

I just switched my sisters old laptop with a 970m over to the nvidia-580xx driver, available on the AUR. Further manual maintenance should be unnecessary until the kernel becomes too new for that.

I even had to enable wayland for GDM because it was trying to use X11 and failing.

She plays minecraft and a couple other games so the nouveau was not an option.

Yeah. It’s almost more like Steam, complete with unmoderated social platform functionality.

Wait.

You’re looking for an actual explanation?

Why?

It’s an anime girl. Not a real person.

You gonna demand a justification for catgirls next?

Ellen Joe

With holo you get actual inconsistency, where EN members can be surname first or second, and you just kinda have to know :D

Which one you might use depends on context. Nether order is wrong exactly.

Sakura is the surname here.

Did you already find this?

With nextcloud in particular, nextcloud is not just nextcloud.

It’s a bunch of additional optional services that may or may not work as-is on Synology. And the Synology package won’t come with all of them.

With docker, adding (or removing) additional services, such as Nextcloud Office, is comparatively simple.
