SLC drives have around 100,000 write cycles. Most consumer SSDs are QLC now and those have less than 1,000 write cycles

Source needed. The amount of write cycles is dependent on the actual quality of the flash.

Also sources needed for “most SSDs are QLC now” maybe true for bottom of the barrel cheap useless SSDs.

Also, the amount of write cycle does not mean much without knowing how many flash chips you have on the SSD. A 1tb ssd can consist of 1 or 16 flash chips.

Also, if the data were encrypted, the encryption key would have been on the Computer anyway, but yes it could have been better protected.

No, you can do this process to automate it.

You can use ACNE DNS. Just add the single record for acne dns and then you can the acne dns api to fulfill the challange.

OP uses tailscale to connect to everything and not his local connection.

Jellyfin doesn’t have local allowance baked in? I’ve never used it.

Nope and that is also not needed, since it’s not a cloud dependent service.

Then using something like fail2ban to block bad acting connections is far more effective and you even get a security benefit out of it.

Also, when a few scripts try to connect via ssh DDOS your router then something is messed up. Either a shitty router from 20 years ago or you have a Bandwidth lower than 100kbps.

Getting “hit” is nothing to worry about by automated scripts. All it does is keep your logs a little bit cleaner. Any attack you should actually worry does not care if your ssh is running on 22 or 7389.

A port is not secure or insecure. The thing that can lead to security risks is the service that answers that port.

Use strong authentication and encryption on those services and keep them up to date.

no. The default port is fine. Changing the default port does nothing for security. It only stops some basic crawler, when you are scared by crawler, then you should not host anything on the internet.

Thanks for that link.

AI is the umbrella term for ML, neural networks, etc.

ResNet152 seems to be used only to recognice objects in the image to help when comparing images. I was not aware of that and i am not sure if i would classify it as actuall tool for image deduplication, but i have not looked at the code to determine how much they are doing with it.

As of now they still state that they want to use ML technologies in the future to help, so they either forgot to edit the readme or they do not use it.

Would be surprised if there is any AI involved. Finding duplicates is a solved problem.

AI is only involved in object detection and face recognition.

Yes. But it removes some benefits. You again open some ports or use a VPS to host it. The benefit of not needing to have open ports on other servers and central auth and management still stands.

The benefits are obvious:

• No port forwarding needed
• Central Auth management
• Easy integration of new devices

Not saying you should do it or that it is better overall, but ignoring those is not fair.

Personally i would never go for Tailscale since i give away the access control to my kingdom to a company. Exactly what i want to get away from through selfhosting.

You could’ve only posted less info if you hadn’t posted at all…

Edit: Anyone who downvotes me here: This comment I commented doesn’t specifiy which UI of which software therefore it’s a pretty useless comment.

1. you are not entitled to an answer by anyone.
2. you are already there. Your router does support that, you just need to select it in the UI.

Yes that is possible. You can select in the UI that port A forwards to local Host B to Port B.

That and they are the bad guy now, not the copyright holders.

The batteries should not degrade that fast. Get a name brand like Eaton or APC or something like that similar to a Power supply, cheap devices can do harm to your expensive devices. Have a couple of setups where the batteries (lead acid) are 5+ years old and they work ok.

The limitation of HDDs was never sequential Read/Write when it comes to day to day use on a PC.

The huge difference to an SSD is when data is written or read not sequentially, often referred to random I/O.

40MB/s is very very low even for a HDD. I would eventually debug why it’s that low.

Yes it’s possible. FS like zfs btrfs etc. support that.
