Caliber web isn’t two separate applications, it’s a calibre-compatible database served via http. There is no desktop “calibre” involved.

There is integrated koreader sync, though.

That’s still true, but performance has changed a lot since Jim Salter wrote that. There was a time When 2x mirrored vdevs (the equivalent to raid 10) would have been preferable to raidz2, but performance of both ZFS and disks themselves has improved enough that there wouldn’t be much of a difference in performance between these two in a home lab.

Personally, I agree with you in that mirrors are preferable, mostly because I don’t really need high availability as much as I want an easier time restoring if a disk fails.

I’ll ask your mom.

Most fiber services register the sfp/sfp+ module. it is much cheaper, easier and usually not against the terms of service to just use the isp-provided sfp in your own routing device instead of messing with OLT settingw and custom firmware on a $160 WAS.

The logo is bad. “Dogshit” is appropriate here.

Enshitification happens.

I don’t think that’s a given necessarily, I think it’s a common pattern under the vc funding -> IPO model.

But companies like Steam and Patagonia show that companies don’t all have to follow the same predictable enshittification arc.

Wow, there’s a lot going on in there.

Yes, that’s what I get from that as well.

I guess as long as users get some options for import/export/backup then it isn’t that bad. I’m reading over the docs again and I don’t think it’s as bad as I initially read into it.

This project would benefit from some documentation curation.

Edit: which I suppose I could offer to help with to put my money where my mouth is.

Sigh…

That stupid way of explaining the license plan aside, are we again having to explain that we don’t want our data locked into yet another db format?

So I just use it by authorizing my wife a and kids to use fmd commands, which means I just tell my wife to send me a text with “fmd ring” and it will start ringing until I find and stop it.

Also, it will message my wife and kids if the phone gets below 5%

Nice article, and a fresh practical take on FOSS.

FMD is great, I use it frequently.

Let them read the documentation so I don’t have to.

Exactly why the article promotes stupidity. Why in the world would you put those words down proudly?

You do not need a VPS, proxy, or wireguard for letsencrypt.

Setting it up with zero experience with how it works or how ZFS works was quite intimidating for me.

But you got through it, and ZFS isn’t a walk in the park for most. I think you’re selling yourself short.

As someone else mentioned, leaving truenas on the asustor and using a container orchestrator or a hypervisor on the Xeon machine sounds like a good plan to me.

I fully agree.

The whole reason everyone moved to Discord was because it was a centralized place and since Discord needed to pay for it’s servers, it had to find a way to finance that, and enshittification naturally happened.

No! Stop perpetuating this “they have bills to pay” nonsense. Discord has more than enough money to run itself and be profitable.

The enshitification happens in services like Discord when shareholders gain control of the product.

Edit: toned down a word.

Yes.

That’s actually easier than on android, we need a caldav sync provider app.

I don’t have any specific recommendations for a discrete tool for this, but radarr and sonarr can do this automatically if you enable it.
