I'm starting to really hate this timeline. Might be time to pick another door.

RAID5 and unlimited downloads on my 1Gbps fibre. All I backup is my library metadata itself, using a 2N+C strategy.

Name the band? Maybe some of us can pitch in.

DCs do indirectly create/support a lot of jobs, though. Construction is an obvious one, but even running a DC requires lots of additional people that often aren't employed by the DC owner/operator.

I can absolutely attest to the fact that it takes even less than 20 directly-employed people to run an entire DC, including the racks of gear within it. But there are quite literally dozens and dozens more contractors and vendors involved in maintaining the facility and the equipment within them:

  • Physical security
  • Fire systems
  • Building controls
  • Electrical
    • HV and LV can often be separate sets of skills/contractors
  • Refrigeration
  • Mechanical
    • Critical mechanical - generators, etc
    • Regular mechanical - electric gates,etc
  • Plumbing and gasfitting
  • Water experts (cooling towers, etc)
  • Building maintenance contractors
  • Gardeners

And the list goes on. My point is that DCs can absolutely be a significant driver of employment and economic activity, just not all directly.

  • About 1,400 movies: 6.7TB
  • About 15,100 episodes: 10.9TB

Spread across a couple of NASes, each with 4 x 4TB drives in RAID5.

lol - fine by me. My private searx-ng instance already filters out Reddit from the results, and my Pi-holes block all known Reddit domains.

+1 to everything you just said - I've been using Immich for a little less (370 days, thanks to the same button). It's feature rich and rock solid.

Only thing I hope they add to the mobile app is the Years/Months/Days option, to make it easy to quickly group, then find, your photos. It's the one thing that keeps me using my phone's own Photos app (locally - no cloud sync).

This has been a fun end to the week - still sitting on a call about the widespread outages and impacts from this.

At which point do we acknowledge the cure is as bad as the problem?

Yeah, CS posted this in a support article. Gonna be fun watching their share price on the Nasdaq overnight.

Withy some compression straps around it to make it look smaller in places

Time and time again, we've proven the best weapon we have against corporate greed is our ability (and willingness) to share knowledge.
