People are willing to contribute to well run services. Make the contributions manageable for users and they will happy chip in a few dollars here and there.

Nice ratio!

9.1 TB up 1.8 TB down

5.2 ratio over 900 days.

Not dethroning op for a while yet.

That’s what I use personally, I’ve seen the feature elsewhere too.

If I care about the data? It’s on a file system which reports file corruption.

Otherwise? I don’t trust it at all. I back it up and replace the drive when it dies.

Have done years of enterprise fault analysis, I promise you that SMART will happily tell you there is a problem at the same time you begin to experience data corruption. You might get lucky and catch and altered sector count spike up, or a temperature value go out of family, but in the field those things really suck at predictions.

If you want to know if a drive is healthy, track data corruption at the file system layer.

So just as an FYI to those who trust these sorts of things, SMART technology is a self reporting thing. The hard drive is more than capable of lying to the data in that system if it protects the manufacture from responsibility of replacing faulty drives. Whats more, it's actually pretty rare that SMART reports and issue before the drive just sorta... dies someway or another.

It's not useless technology, but it's pretty damn close. I don't even both with any of my setups. I test it by monitoring if the server has issues reading/writing. SMART wont tell me anything before that will.

Apple's systems are designed so that they don't really have a choice in the matter. The end user holds the only master key.

This could 100% happen in the US today given the reproductive laws being passed.

These people are trying to help, snark makes it sound like you want to troll, not be helped…

What are you attempting to do here? Host for any generic user? Host just for yourself? From only one remote device? From many remote devices?

I’m a private pilot. Would this allow me to take the pilots seat?

What’s the long term plan for server costs? This thing isn’t free

People never seem to respect how deadly water is. We just had someone drown in 7ft of water this week. Right next to shore.

Bring floatation, every time.

Mass has really been doing well for laws in the last few years it seems.

Some great FAFO going on.

Lol, it’s more to show a point. Most engineers and programmers are VERY hard to advertise to. We do to much research, so it’s often an ignored group in marketing. Easier to go after other demographics.

What's your field of work?

Just took a quick peak at wefwef.

You consider that easier?

Have an upvote, so as to better game the system stranger.
