Does rclone support the cloud service?

Software RAID is generally better in every way, also no hardware to fail.

Keep multiple reliable (and tested) backups, if something fails restore a backup.

Don’t rely on any storage, RAID or anything else to be recoverable when something goes wrong.

Backrest is also great, just a nice webUI for Restic.

It’s wild just how slow most thumb drives benchmark even with recent models, the Samsung Bar at 36MB/s is just ridiculous, that’s 30 minutes of waiting to fill it up entirely!

A basic V30 microSD card is at least that fast!

Yes I’m waiting until it’s ready for the average user before I recommend it to anyone.

If you want that style of UI use Zen browser, it’s based on Firefox and doesn’t require an account to use it.

Arc is just another crappy browser based on Chrome. The account requirement was and is a huge red flag.

The healthiest is to enable the option to only charge to 80% (or near there, depending on the phone you have).

Otherwise slower charging is better, if the wireless charging doesn’t make the phone hotter than say 30C or so I wouldn’t worry about using it. 45C is the limit for charging Li-ion safely, but it’s better to be cooler.

FolderSync is a good alternative, more battery friendly too!

Yes there’s always a chance corruption can happen from a hard power off, always keep reliable backups.

I would go with a managed Nextcloud provider, it’s such a pain to manage self hosting Nextcloud specifically.

Be extra vigilant with your backups though, free stuff always has a higher chance of weird stuff happening, once they just removed my VPS after my trial ended and told me to re-create it.

Current 18650/21700 Li-ion cells are a lot safer than they were 10+ years ago, less chance of thermal runaway and fires now.

Cell quality is important. You want to be using known good quality cells like those from Panasonic, Samsung, LG, etc…

How you manage temperature, charge and discharge is also really important, dendrite growth can cause cell failure in time. Charge temperature is extremely important. So you want to make sure you’re using a smart programmable BMS where you can set up all the protections properly. Ideally one with as many temperature probes as you can find, 4 is good, 8 is better and some will have that many.

Otherwise making sure nothing can short out internally is important too, but it sounds like you’re putting some thought into that. Most critical IMO from what I’ve seen on pre-made battery packs is making sure your series banks are well insulated from each other and have no chance of vibration causing the cells to wear through their heatshrink and touch each other.

It has always been OK for me.

What do you mean by ‘never loads’? Are you getting a DNS failure, is it failing to load certain resources, or is it just timing out on the initial connection?

Dynamic DNS is free generally, for example if you put your domain on Cloudflare or another DNS host with an API that is supported you can just update the A records automatically on IP change.

Gotcha, that makes more sense when explained that way!

I’m excited to see where it is in another year or so, the idea of using public/private keys for logins is neat for sure.

Interesting, maybe I’ll give it a try. I didn’t know they could just be synced between devices on bitwarden.

There really isn’t one, that’s why Discord is so widely used.
