The question you're asking is too broad. Every tool somehow differs from the others, but listing all differences requires in-depth knowledge of each tool and a lot of time.

At the end of the day, every tool somehow backs up your data. CLI interfaces, encryption algorithms, deduplication logic, supported backends, underlying programming languages and a lot more may differ. Identify what's most important to you, test different solutions and then use the tool that works best for your use-case.

My server rack is located in an uninsulated attic with two tiny windows. I haven't measured the ambient temperature but I think it's over 40°C. Yesterday one drive in my storage server reached 65°C - so for today I have shut it off until the rain comes. Fun times.

This reads like a headline from Plague Inc.

Obligatory: RAID is not a backup.

Security in software is about implementation, not different programming languages. Security as a whole is also not something you can achieve just by installing "secure" software - every software has bugs and vulnerabilities. Some of them are known, others are unknown and not every one of them automatically poses a security risk to you, this depends on the bug, your usage and environment. You can try to harden your system, but you need to do this in layers and the application code is just one of them.

For example, you could geoblock IP addresses so their requests never even reach your application. This does not mean that you're automatically safe from attackers from e.g. Russia, but you make yourself a less easy target.

There are many other defense mechanisms like request limiting, dynamically blocking malicious requests with something like Fail2Ban, strong authentication, frequent patching, network segregation, virtualization, and so on. I hope you see where I'm going. Security is complex and depends a lot on your personal threat model.

That being said, if you need to know how secure the code of a given software is, you need to find something that has recently been audited or audit it yourself.

It doesn't look like anything to me.

I might be cynical, but moving away from Synology and Plex because of the writing on the wall and then choosing Unraid probably won't end well.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the love for Unraid even though I don't use it. It looks nice and newbie-friendly and you can throw all your random disks at it regardless of size. But enshittification will come for Unraid and I personally think that it has already begun.

“America is the greatest democracy in the world, and I believe in those values that we share. I have faith in the American system of justice,” Öztürk said Saturday at a news conference at the airport.

That's wild considering she was abducted in broad daylight and spent 6 weeks unjustly detained.

EDIT: She also had great luck that the video of her arrest went viral. I don't think she would be free without it and the group of supporters that formed afterwards. It's easy then to have faith in the american justice system, but it's naive to think that other low profile cases will be treated equally.

Thanks for your response!

What made you switch from TrueNAS Scale to Unraid, if I may ask? Is it just the ability to mix different drive sizes? I'm currently using TrueNAS Core and thinking about migrating to TrueNAS Scale.

I've had great success with restic. It will handle your 4TB just fine, here's some stats of mine:

    
Total File Count: 78374
Total Size: 13.324 TiB

  

and another one, not as large but with lots of files

    
Total File Count: 1295210
Total Size: 2.717 TiB

  

Restic will automatically deduplicate your data so your duplicates won't waste storage at your backup location.

I've recently learned about backrest which can serve as a restic UI if you're not comfortable with the cli, but I haven't used it myself.

To clean your duplicates at the source I would look into Czkawka as another lemming already suggested.

Gaming is fine, I haven't noticed any issues but I have to admit that I'm a casual gamer at most. The monitor supports FreeSync and refresh rates up to 165Hz.

I haven't compared VA to OLED yet, but the latter costs at least twice as much where I live. For me personally, I don't think that's worth it. My previous monitor was a Samsung CF791 with Quantum-Dot but honestly I find the iiyama to have nicer colors. That's highly subjective of course and the CF791 was released roughly 10 years ago, so take this with a grain of salt.

I've been using VA Panels for a long time because of that IPS glow. My current main monitor is a iiyama GCB3480WQSU-B1 and I'm pretty happy with it.

Shit's fucked.

"White House Faith Office", that sounds like someone is pushing the "Faith" branch of their current Frostpunk playthrough a bit too far. Next up are the "Faith keepers". Ugh.
