A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Could you also have a row for english?

NAS: A weird spinny thing where you store your data. Both over the network.
RAID: Multiple weird spinny things working together to recover the lost data if one of the weird spinny things dies.
SSD: A weird spinny thing that doesn't spin. Currently prohibitively expensive, so can be ignored.
SMB: A language that computers use to share files from the weird spinny things or printers with each other.
ZFS: A method that your computer uses to keep track of how and where your files are on the weird spinny things.

Are they more spinny than they are weird? Or weirder than they are spinny?

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The SSDs are definitely weirder than they are spinny but otherwise it depends. A 7200RPM weird spinny thing is for example more spinny than a 5400RPM but if you take 3 of the 5400RPM in a RAID, then the spinnines is aggregated, making it more spinny than a 7200RPM. But in doing so, you are multiplying the weirdiness, making it exponentially more weird than a single 7200RPM weird spinny thing. This has to do with how the weirdiness particles flow between the spinny things to make sure that you'll always be able to recover the weirdiness of one of the spinny things from the other spinny things in case of an untimely demise.

This is definitely food for thought. Junk food, but technically food.
