Sometimes I drive 10 - 15 under the speed limit on purpose to save fuel. Yes it does make a difference. I stay in the right lane unless I'm overtaking a truck or something.

    I just replaced the piece of junk XFi router with a proper Ubiquiti dream router 7. I didn't think it would make this big of a difference, but wow. Had to keep the old thing in bridge mode though. I want to next replace the cable modem built into the thing, but Comcrap requires you either use their equipment for $20/mo or you have to pay for unlimited data for $30/mo. They actually change you more to have the pleasure of not using their junk equipment.

    Why not just use something else like carbon steel or cast iron. They are both cheap and easy enough to maintain. My carbon steel frying pan is just as non-stick as Teflon, and actually gets better the more I use it.

    I migrated iptimr-kuma to the new v2.0 release. The DB migration took a long time. I learned I probably should have run the vacuum command before the migration, but I never noticed the button in the settings before.

    Also preparing Jellyfin for its new 10.11.0 which comes with another long running DB migration.

    Another benefit is if you lose your all parity disks and a data disk, you can still access the filesystem on the other data disks. So if the array fails, you don't lose all the data, just the 1 (failed) disk worth of files.

    I just found this project by browsing the mergerfs documentation. It claims to be an opensource fork of the Unraid software that makes it so flexible. The documentation isn't great, but has all the basic info to get going. It works kinda like Snapraid in that each disk has it's own filesystem and parity is calculated across all of the drives, but it happens in real time (unlike with snapraid).

    Thoughts? comments? Would you trust this with important data?

    I just rolled some of this out on my setup. I already had lidarr running, but didn't know about the metadata issue.

    Beets is running excruciatingly slow importing my music collection. Anyone have any insight on this? I'm running the Linuxserver.io docker container with a very basic config.

    Soulseek is new to me and I set that up with a vpn.

    In light of the recently announced price increase, I'm seriously considering moving all my backups from B2 to Storj as Storj is only charging $0.004/GB . As it's mostly just a backup, I don't really need the free egress and I travel a lot so not being tied to a single DC location is also appealing. What do you guys think? Anyone using Storj? What has your experience been like so far?
