    The Fractal Design Define R cases can house a lot of hard drives, but they are kind of big. My Define R6 can theoretically house 11 3.5" drives iirc in addition to 4x 2.5" but it does not come with that many drive sleds out of the box. For the 2.5" drives only 2 sleds are included. I think for the 3.5" it was about 6.


  • Honestly, I’m really happy with the ability to just try out stuff with docker and then nuke the entire compose stack if it does not work. I also know perfectly where any possible leftovers from the attempt are (the bind mounts or volumes) and can be certain I deleted everything I “installed”.

    Although I have to admit that I absolutely had some issues with containers in the past, mainly when there are two or more containers with dependencies on one another.

    Never used k8s or the cloud so I have nothing to comment on that ;D


  • Making it a hassle to circumvent the roadblocks can help make the undesired behavior less attractive to you in the moment or stop unconscious behavior.

    For example, I sometimes open lemmy just with my muscle memory when I’m bored without even thinking about it, even though I know I’ve scrolled through pretty much all the current content I get in my feed already.

    Moving the app icon around stops me from opening lemmy without actively thinking about it and therefore adds a (admittedly small) barrier to my bad behavior.

    Adding a long and complex password that I would have to enter manually, as someone in the comments recommend, would probably make me rethink my actions even more. Do I really want to get out the password and be annoyed by having to type it out just to do this?





  • Depending on what router you use, setting up a VPN connection into your own home network may be the simplest solution and possibly also the most secure.

    In germany at least, FritzBox seems to be the dominant router and they offer a very simple VPN setup which utilizes their own domain to initiate a connection.

    I personally use a MikroTik router at home (still not sure if that was the best idea…) and they have a similar thing called Back To Home VPN. The Fritzbox gave me less trouble setting up though.
