It’s mostly about memory access. Modern languages throw errors if, for example, you try to reference an element of an array that is “outside the bounds” of the array. C does not - it gladly returns whatever memory address is past the end of the array. So the programmer has to check that the index is 0 <= x < array_size whenever they access a an array entry. That’s a pain - so they don’t.
Let’s be honest - in this community NAS means “my do-everything server that may have a RAID and probably also shares storage”.
All my systems are backed up with “rsnapshot” to a file server. File server is backed up to backblaze with duplicacy.
🤣
I have a cron job set to run on Monday and Friday nights, is this too frequent?
Only you can answer that - what is your risk tolerance for data loss?
You’re not going to run deepseek r1 without GPUs (plural).
I’m also considering UnRaid instead of Proxmox for a NAS OS.
NAS just has no meaning anymore?
Nobody understands endowments. Universities only use the interest earned from them as investments. And Apple makes more revenue in a quarter than Harvard has in their entire endowment - and theirs is the largest.
Ah - I gotcha. That’s some terrible luck with drives.
This is why I do my first-level of backups with rsnapshot. It backs up to the plain filesystem using rsync and uses hard-links to de-dup between backups. No special filesystem, no encryption, restore is just an ‘rsync’ away.
Gradle is written in Java and requires a Java Runtime.
Not an issue.
“Wankpanzer” is the one I’ve been going with.
Is it? I guess I don’t know the difference… I installed mine myself but my system is also dead simple - only 2 wires. My first thermostat was just a bi-metallic strip. 😀
I believe so, my system is baseboard so I didn’t use a fan. There is a fan control option on the device. The instructions say it can do auto, on, of, circ.

That’s pretty long, is this one bolt or two?
I’ve got a couple Honeywell T6 z-wave thermostats that work great and didn’t cost a lot. I control them through home assistant with some custom code to set them on a schedule, but they can also still be operated manually if needed.
I’d highly recommend not doing that. A smart thermostat is much easier and going to be a lot more reliable. And it won’t stop working if your server goes down.
FWIW SELinux is a standard Linux feature - mostly used by RedHat distros.
The difference is the approach to how much a system should be locked down. Desktop systems are traditionally more flexible, probably more for historic reasons, partly due to being used by more technically sophisticated users (or at least assuming users would be more sophisticated). Smart phones, however, were marketed towards the lowest-common denominator users running on a device with many limitations as well. I’m not disparaging these users mind - just stating a fact. So things need to be locked down more. And since these platforms had no legacy expectations on them they could do it however they like (e.g. they can dictate which directories are used for what purposes).
The desktop is sorta moving in this direction as well. Flatpaks and snaps run applications in containers which can be restricted and isolated from each other as well as from the rest of the system. It takes time for applications to catch up to being sandboxed though so it is happening slowly.
Yep. And it’ll be done. Yes it’ll take a while, but this is what it means for C to be like COBOL (which also still exists). But the more and more it can be marginalized the better we’ll all be security-wise.
Cattle not pets. They’re just computer languages.
