Sucks to add users to, users can’t reset their own password, and apparently security is so bad that exposing it to the internet is basically just giving hackers the front door key.

Base model is 26.5k AUD drive away, Premium is 30.5k AUD drive away, so both slip in under the 31k AUD / 22k USD price point.

Also, please note that all the ones that have good ratings aren’t being sold for $22k.

22k USD is around 31k AUD

The BYD Atto 1 sells for 24k AUD + on roads, so less than that figure.

It got a 5 star ANCAP rating.

Just saying.

At this point I trust them more than the US.

Yeah I guess it probably makes more sense when it’s my business… Maybe not if you’re an employee at some corporate randomly hosting backups of your dog photos.

I have a 120TB unraid server at home, and a 40TB unraid server at work. Both use 2 x parity disks.

The critical work stuff backs up to home, and the critical home stuff backs up to work.

The media is disposable.

Both servers then back up to Crashplan on separate accounts - work uses the Australian server on a business account, home used the US server on a personal account.

I figure I should be safe unless Australia and the US are nuked simultaneously… At which point my data integrity is probably not the most pressing issue.

The way the US is going, China is rapidly becoming the preferred option to share data with. It’s not like you have a choice not to.

Feels like this is the sort of important information OP should have included in their post.

Buy used enterprise hardware for cheap, install Unraid, dip your toes in… Then if you enjoy tinkering, evolve from there.

Unraid does everything I want so I’ve kinda plateaued for the moment.

Because it’s hilarious

I want one just to smoke race car drivers in the traffic light drags… while getting a massage in my captain’s chair, as the wife and kids watch Finding Nemo

(I don’t actually have kids, but the rest applies)

Outlook. In HTML format. With a giant signature that includes an embedded image.

Also the image is a 2400px image that has been resized using width and height attributes.

I run Nextcloud for this. Never understood the complaints about it, I find it hard to believe everyone’s so short of CPU power that Nextcloud is anything more than a rounding error running in the background.

There’s half a dozen of us using it for shared calendars, files, and contacts.

Currently around 6TB of files, a couple of hundred or so contacts in the shared contacts list, and many recurring (and one off) events.

Been working perfectly since before Nextcloud forked from OwnCloud.

Yeah but what if I want to bbq my steak instead of microwaved it? There’s no soul to microwaved steak… Or whatever it is the anti EV crowd bust out.

They definitely need a different brandname if they’re going to be selling these outside of China though 😬 Why not just stick with BYD?

I’ve been using Nextcloud since it forked from OwnCloud (… and used OwnCloud before that). It’s gone from a VPS, to bare metal on dedicated hosting, and now self hosted as a docker container because we’ve finally got fibre internet.

I’ve got around 6TB or so hosted for my small business, with shared directories for different levels of file access, shared contact lists, shared calendars, and a publicly accessible area for things like email attachments (works with a Thunderbird plugin to automatically host and link large attachments with a password) and uploads from customers (they can only upload, no viewing or deleting).

It’s incredible, and I’ve never had the issues people complain so much about. The worst I ever experienced was using snap and occasionally an automatically updated version simply wouldn’t work… So I’d just roll back to the last version and manually update a few months later when I remembered.

Currently using the Nextcloud AIO docker image which includes Borg backups. They get stored on another disk to Nextcloud, which gets automatically backed up to Crashplan.

I think I’ve just reduced social media participation in general.

I still browse a lot but with so much AI bollocks and rage bait and engagement farming and any other manner of “fake stuff pretending to be real stuff” going on it just doesn’t seem worth it to actually participate much.

I never had any success using Nextcloud with any type of cloud storage. It was always slow as molasses, even by normal Nextcloud standards.

I just bought a JBOD and store the data myself locally, with a remote backup instead.

I believe it is cheaper long term this way, though with energy costs on the up and up that may not always be the case. Does mean I have super fast access to the content when I want it though.

I’ve got 30x4TB disks, just because second hand enterprise gear is so cheap. I’ll slowly replace the 4TB SAS with larger capacity SATA to make use of the spin down functionality of unraid. I don’t need the extra speed of SAS and I wouldn’t mind saving a few watt-hours.

(I’m just shy of 500tb and my server holds 38 disks.)

That means every one of your disks is >13TB? That’s expensive!

I love healthchecks. It’s so simple and easy to incorporate in to… anything much?
