I'm looking for a good/cheap long-term way to seed massive archives (20TB and growing) without burning out my home NAS. I want to keep sharing the full archive, mostly private tracker stuff, but my local setup is starting to choke on the load, especially at 24/7 and the power bills that come with it.

I thought about moving the whole thing to a high-capacity seedbox (some go up to 100TB or more) and offloading the stress from my hardware entirely. I used to run a smaller 6TB setup on AppBox and they do have higher capacity options BUT they're still a bit too expensive to pay monthly for me (https://www.appbox.co/).

So ideally, I'd want to automate syncing new files via rclone or Nextcloud, keep things seeding full-time via ruTorrent/qBittorrent, and still have access for remote streaming or file management. And save as much as possible.

So if you have a fully remote setup for long-term seeding, how are you doing it? What works better in terms of stability, bandwidth, tracker compliance, and so on?

I currently have six external drives connected to my "server" and as per usual, I'm running out of space.

I'm looking for a NAS or multi-drive enclosure for five drives and either drives I can shuck to put in it or just plain drives to put in it. Preferably 16TB or therabouts.

I was thinking about something like this but I'm not sure.

As for drives, I have no idea about shucking, is that even still a thing that is preferable to do thesedays?

I see no mention of it in the sub. PBS may not have much time left.

Until recently, I was able to use various downloader tools to grab TikTok videos. When I did, the Modified Date would always populate as the date of upload.

Today, across several tools, I'm getting the Modified Date as Today's Date.

Has anyone experienced this in the past or has any tools/suggestions to force an override?

I purchased a couple of HDD 2.5 enclosures from AliExpress. Are they safe? Is it possible they have malware in the controller board? Or am I being paranoid?

I'm moving from my old NAS setup. I managed to get a Supermicro SC846BE1C‑R1K23B chassis. I also purchased a BPN‑SAS3‑846EL1‑N8 SAS3 backplane for the chassis so I have 8x Nvme lanes.

For components I'm thinking about this:

Motherboard: Supermicro X11DPi-N

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon Gold 5218

RAM: 8x 16GB DDR4 ECC

HBA: LSI 9305-16i

GPU: An old GTX 970 that I have spare

Since when I built my first NAS things have moved so fast that I completely lost track on the market and now I have no clue on what makes sense for NAS build. The list I'm providing is a combination of Reddit research and some ChatGPT.

I currently use Unraid and have media VMs running alongside data storage (*arr stack, Emby, etc).

In terms of prices I can get everything relatively cheap. I'm living in China so I can find thousands of ads on Taobao selling all these components.

Can someone share some opinion on the setup?

What's the best way to do back ups completely self hosted? Do I use HDDs for everything? Or do I vary the types of drive. I'm planning to upgrade a home server cuz I mainly needed a solution for Minecraft servers, but I wanna expand it for more use cases. It runs proxmox

Hey, as the title describes -

I'm fed up of selecting 100 files from my phone to share to G-Drive, only for 5-10% of these to fail (even on very good wi-fi, and ensuring my phone screen stays on throughout).

For some reason, the upload feature doesn't have a function to simply click "re-try" or anything after this happens. I can only either re-upload the entire batch (then sifting through to delete duplicates on Drive later), or make notes of failed file-names as it goes, to then scroll through my phone finding these names.

Both methods are very annoying and way too frequent for a regular workflow.

Further info: * I'm mainly using an iPhone 15 for this workflow, but the issue also happens with Android uploads.

• I'm looking to upgrade to a paid cloud for around 1TB of storage anyway, and just want to ensure it solves this issue.
• Offline mode is a plus, but not a deal breaker.

Thanks!

Just under a year after the website shut down, it has disappeared.

As predicted beforehand, corporate promises mean nothing.

Did anyone archive this while it as active?

Maybe the weirdest setup so far (and unreliable).

So, ahead of the potential of wikipedia being blocked in the UK, what else can be recommended to download and keep in case it goes away? I'm thinking about survival guides, guides to learn language and basic mathematics, the sort of stuff you'd need in case of mass censorship / the collapse of society and free information as we know it.
