Living on a busy street, my cameras would fill 40GB in just a few days. Ideally I’d like to have at least a few weeks if not months of retention. I’m also fiercely anti-subscription to the point of irrationality. I wouldn’t be in this community otherwise – I’d just have a Ring or Blink plan like a normie.
A big part of why I want a(nother) NAS (I already have two because I’m a maniac) is that I need a backup of my surveillance system’s footage, not only in case of data loss but also in case someone breaks in and steals my NVR – the device which would otherwise contain the only video of them breaking in and stealing my NVR.
As of last night, I have an offsite backup functioning so that problem is mostly solved, but I still wanted a redundant copy saved locally. Since the NUC is busy being a server and occasionally a PC, I was looking for something else that’s also small which I could hide from a burglar inside a wall or ceiling.
I love the idea of up-cycling but I was looking for something physically small/compact that I could hide easily in a ceiling or closet that wouldn’t also be unnecessarily power-intensive. My 10th gen NUC running Debian and a full *arr stack uses <5W at idle for example. I could end up using it as a NAS instead but I think I’d rather have it out in the open on a desk where I can still use it as a desktop as needed.
I also have a GOAT friend with a 2.5x2.5Gb symmetrical fiber connection who co-locates a server of mine for free as long as I share the storage with him. It’ll be a redundant offsite backup in addition to this NAS so I only need the most basic of features, not something with a whole desktop OS and/or entire ecosystem of available extensions and other packages.
Which model? I ordered one reliable one for a customer and another one that turned out to be a lemon.
It’s entirely possible.
Asbestos and lead are too dense, thus preventing flight.
Are you using Voyager? That might be the user tags feature that’s counting your upvotes per user. You can toggle it in the settings.
Did I write this comment? I used to think I just did my best to deliberately waste as little time as possible to balance out all the time I waste involuntarily. Now I realize that I just can’t tolerate being idle, so the moment I initiate some automated process that will take more than a few seconds to complete, I start yet another task while waiting. This looks a hell of a lot more efficient on paper than it does in reality, though…
Don’t worry. At this rate, the ice will be gone soon and… oh
In all seriousness, though, please do yourself a favor and watch the first season of True Detective if you never have. It’s exceptional.
The only thing that gives me a glimmer of hope at this point other than the thought of a massive shellacking in the midterms (which won’t ultimately matter anyway as the damage will largely be done, but at least a third impeachment would be able to happen for the history books) is the idea that they will fuck things up so badly and for so many people that it will become unambiguously clear by 2028 that this cannot happen ever again. I wish it didn’t have to be that way but I’m afraid it’s the only way real change can take place any time soon. And 4 years feels like a long goddamn time, too.
Here’s hoping things aren’t so broken by then that we don’t even have a choice in the matter anymore.
As long as the manner of death is quick enough and relatively painless, I don’t have to even give it a second thought.

The wall? Or maybe just saw the stairs apart. Fuck it, burn the house down and start over.
They declare that God made it happen while conveniently forgetting all the other times nothing did.
For the railing or the couch?
…
Yes.

Oh my, it’s really been that long? Excuse me while I shuffle over to the recliner on my walker with tennis balls on its legs to reflect on all the time I’ve wasted.
I like that idea. I have an extra Pi Zero – would that work or do I need more processing power? I’m looking at storing around 5-15GB per day.
