Zak :1password:<p>I've noticed that a lot of people that I've talked to on the subject of backups, including in response to this comment, do not back up their TV and movies. Which makes sense considering how much storage those things tend to take up. It just seems like a shame to be risking all of it to disk failure.</p><p>Backing all of that up to something like Backblaze would be incredibly expensive, and even purchasing an additional set of drives just for backups would be quite a pain. There doesn't seem to be a great solution other than "just replace it all when your disks fail." Either that, or spend the money.</p><p>(I'm set on everything else. Documents and photos are in hosted cloud storage, and my music will always be in at least one other place.)</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
Pete Prodoehl 🍕<p>Yay! I finally got 6 drives connected to the HP Z420 for my TrueNAS build. Seems there are extra SATA ports on the motherboard that are not used or something? I found the two "hidden" ones and got all the drives to show up.</p><p>This was a pain but I am past it now and can move on to getting all drives into place.</p><p>I believe I've got four 4TB drives to stick into it, just debating if I should make one a spare right away or not. I could use an old 6TB drive as the spare.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/truenas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>truenas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
Alejandro<p>I thought that the fan on my server's hard drives was kaput, but in fact what was happening is that its protection grid that I 3D printed was too thin and bent, stopping the fan spinning. </p><p>New (and more resistant) printed grid and the result is 11 ºC less on the hottest disk.</p><p>I hope I have extended its life a little longer.</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>

Jill Veldhuis 💾<p>Random <a href="https://kind.social/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosting</span></a> tip for any who might be interested:</p><p>If you use <a href="https://kind.social/tags/GetSSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetSSL</span></a> to get your <a href="https://kind.social/tags/LetsEncrypt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetsEncrypt</span></a> certs, you'll get four files:</p><p>* The key (example.com.key)<br>* The domain cert (example.com.crt)<br>* The CA cert (chain.crt)<br>* The "full chain" cert (fullchain.crt)</p><p>Make sure to use the full chain cert, *not* the domain cert, when setting up your server. Otherwise some services will give you "unknown authority" errors.</p>

Jill Veldhuis 💾<p>So... I just discovered that my home ISP doesn't block port 443 as I had assumed they did.
