With a zero specifically I think you’d need extra bits to get it on a network, but Traccar itself is pretty lightweight.

Former healthcare IT, holy crap do all digital health records systems seem to suck. Some of them suck in different ways, but none of the big ones anyway are great.

I get that there’s a lot of semi-special use cases and regulatory requirements and so on, but at the end of the day it’s text and images and a record of the changes to them. And it’s not like this is a surprise problem. People have been trying to digitize stuff since at least the 90s. And yet every single system seems like it’s only been in development for a few months and usually has trouble working with itself, much less any other record system.

For now anyway, it used to be $20+/gb. I’ll settle for flooding the market with refurbished 16+tb drives.

I think it gets some flak but I’ve been super happy with Unraid.

Migrated hardware by moving the usb drive over to the new system and it didn’t blink that everything but the HDDs was different. Just booted up and started the array and dockers. The JBOD functionality is great. Drive loss is just an excuse to add a bigger drive.

Ah, fair enough. Though I’d probably swap Gideon and Ancillary.

~Halfway through atm and enjoying it, reminds me a bit of Ancillary Justice. Didn’t know it was a series. What’s your runner up?

Same, been kicking myself since I found out it was all gone a few weeks ago. Don’t know why I didn’t make a ‘just in case’ backup / export.

Still infuriating they can just go “oops all gone”. It came through the roll-out fine, I remember looking stuff up in February. As far as I can tell it was a later unrelated glitch.

Google also accidentally deleted a random amount of user’s timeline data if you didn’t immediately catch it and restore from back up last March before the affected backups were overwritten. If you didn’t keep a close enough watch on your timeline to know that that happened, everything before ~Feb 2025 is gone now.

Ask me how I know. Yes I kept up on permissions. Yes I had backups on. No I didn’t have a new device. I even have dozens of available gigabytes of paid storage on Google One.

I’m sure it will only get more stable due to maps and timeline being revenue generators that encourage investment.

IIRC they think it’s weird, but importantly they still do it. He’s an agent so there’s Special Circumstances but they still value the choice to do it more than they do sticking to norms.

The moons of Jupiter and Saturn were called satellite planets from their discovery until sometime in the 20th century.

The first several asteroids were called planets, until enough were discovered that the term ‘asteroid’ was invented and they were renamed.

The first Kuiper belt objects were called planets, until enough were discovered that it turns out Pluto is mostly just a particularly reflective example.

That’s very heliocentric of you.

The definition of ‘planet’ has changed a lot in the last few millennia.

Pluto was not the first 9th planet. Then again we were up to 13(?) at one point.

Planet has never been very well delineated. The Sun was a “planet”. Ceres was a “planet”.

When we find enough things to break up the classification, we make a new classification. Like “asteroid” or “dwarf planet” or “gas giant”.

Probably a me problem but kept having problems with that docker on unraid, it’s just in the community apps ‘store’. The vm seemed to just crash randomly.

I switched over to their B2 storage and just use rclone to an encrypted bucket and it’s ~<$5/mo which I’m good with. Biggest cost is if I let it run too often and it spends a bunch of their compute time listing files to see if it needs to update them.

Building from source is always going to come with complications. That’s why most people don’t do it. A docker compose file that ‘just’ downloads the stable release from a repo and starts running is dramatically more simple than cross-referencing all your services to make sure there are no dependency conflicts.

There’s an added layer of complexity under the hood to simplify the common use case.

Yes. Even with Plex I’ve had people just never log in. Or after I log them in and set it as a favorite they just never go to the unfamiliar icon.

Most of the problem isn’t even Plex/Jellyfin/etc.'s fault, it’s that the UI of smart tvs is a nightmare hellscape running on underpowered hardware and people just want to interact with it as little as possible. The absolute best thing would be to copy Netflix/Disney/etc and throw a QR code on the screen to sidestep that by throwing authentication to the phone.

Maybe?

It’s relatively easy to tell an American company not to provide a product, like they did with Google/Apple and TikTok.

De-listing a website on a national level is considerably more difficult, especially without something equivalent to China’s Firewall.

It’s why Pirate Bay still exists.

And a 4tb SSD is the same price as a 16tb HDD.

If that trend continues, when you get to a 100tb of SSD(s) the equivalently priced HDD(s) will have 100x the capacity.
