Another vote for selfhosting a VaultWarden (Bitwarden) setup.
I have had it through a docker container for a while, it's solid, and the browser integration/desktop apps/web access mean my passwords are always close at hand.
Yes, it's a bad idea to do it this way. The most likely time a RAID array will fail is during a rebuild as that is a whole bunch of drive activity over a sustained timeframe.
Better to perform a backup or copy, power down, remove all the old drives, install the new ones, power back up, configure a new array (most people recommend to use RAID 6 at a minimum, no hot spare, so you have two drive redundancy) then restore or copy back the data.
This way you can also keep the old drives as a cold backup of sorts, potentially reimporting the configuration if needed.
I got it back at release when they let people stack discounts (paid like 40% the cost of the device). It's still fast enough for everything, a good size, I also got the care plus option with it so swapped to a brand new one earlier this year, want to get another 2 years out of it.
I also have a galaxy tab s6, but haven't ended up using it as much as I thought I would over the years.
Wait, what if this is just a massive misunderstanding?
It could be the Kentucky Konnected Kommunity? A service that just happens to share the same unfortunate... Wait no, it's just a bunch of backwards racist snowflakes? Oh well.
We all know that their browser history is completely full of jungle fever. I hope some day they embrace it fully.
Sadly, I think they will get them, one way or another.
All it will take is a handful of people desperate for money agreeing to be 3d scanned, and maybe a few months of interns saying yes/no to particular faces, and bam, hundreds of extras ready to be used and abused for decades to cover.
Honestly, they have probably kept times new Roman for other things, as a serif font it's much harder to make the mistake between a capital I and a lower case l.
At the moment, yes, most of it is being hosted by hobbyists, some places are accepting donations. I don't think there's been much in the way of creating non profit organisations or other official structures to ensure continuity (although I admit not looking to heavily into it).
It is entirely possible for instances to blip out of existence if the owner decides to close up shop. But that was also the case for Reddit and other social media platforms, however those are in it to make money, which is a strong motivator to keep going.
Increased server load from reposting could have an effect on servers if it causes an extremely large increase in data. At the same time it may cause efforts to streamline and improve efficiency to be bumped up the priority list. However it would have to go on for quite some time I think to cause large issues?
Sorry there's so many "maybe"and other ambiguous terms in the comment, it's really not a simple yes or no.
While I don't claim to understand how the AI function, this makes sense. Think along the lines of making a copy of a copy of a copy, etc, using a photocopier instead of copying a file. Because they are reinterpreting the works every time more and more errors accumulate in the results. This may be because there's a difference between recognising and understanding.
The AI can't afford the API costs.
