Xfinity launched their new tier structure, and if you signed a contract you can still switch within 45 days of signing on. I have one day left to decide.

I am currently paying $30 a month for 400Mbps and a 1.2TB data cap. I only have June’s usage to compare how much data I use in my house, which is ~900GB.

The option I am mainly considering to switch to is $40 a month, 300Mbps, but unlimited data.

I just wanted to ask how important unlimited data is to you, and if it’s worth a slowdown in speed and higher price? I may be more frivolous with my network usage, and download some more stuff if I don’t have a cap shadowing over my head, but I don’t know if that would go over my previous cap or not, so it may just be wasted money, and I only have a day left to decide.

Another note - I may have to pay for an extra month if I sign the $40 contract since it would be a month after what I planned, and I may be moving at that time. However, I am assuming it would still be a better deal than just spending an additional $25 a month to add unlimited data to my current plan.

Hello everyone,

I asked this question in the Terramaster community but unfortunately never received an answer.

I think this issue may also apply to other DAS manufacturers.

So, here’s my setup:

• Terramaster D4-320
• WD Purple HDD (WD43PURZ)
• Beelink Mini S12 Pro running Proxmox 8.4.x

When I shut down the computer, the DAS continues running. To turn it off, I have to press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds, as stated in the official documentation.

Now, about SMART:

After every DAS shutdown, the Power-Off_Retract_Count parameter increases.

Some sources say this indicates an emergency disk shutdown, while others consider it normal for the counter to increment.

Can someone finally clarify—is this bad? If so, why would the manufacturer knowingly release a DAS that behaves this way?

Before buying, I read many reviews about the Terramaster D4-320, and no one mentioned this behavior (Power-Off_Retract_Count).

I’d really appreciate an answer.

(English is not my native language.)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share something unexpected that came out of a filesystem project I've been working on, ZeroFS: https://github.com/Barre/zerofs

I built ZeroFS, an NBD + NFS server that makes S3 storage behave like a real filesystem using an LSM-tree backend. While testing it, I got curious and tried creating a ZFS pool on top of it... and it actually worked!

So now we have ZFS running on S3 object storage, complete with snapshots, compression, and all the ZFS features we know and love. The demo is here: https://asciinema.org/a/kiI01buq9wA2HbUKW8klqYTVs

This gets interesting when you consider the economics of "garbage tier" S3-compatible storage. You could theoretically run a ZFS pool on the cheapest object storage you can find - those $5-6/TB/month services, or even archive tiers if your use case can handle the latency. With ZFS compression, the effective cost drops even further.

Even better: OpenDAL support is being merged soon, which means you'll be able to create ZFS pools on top of... well, anything. OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, you name it. Yes, you could pool multiple consumer accounts together into a single ZFS filesystem.

ZeroFS handles the heavy lifting of making S3 look like block storage to ZFS (through NBD), with caching and batching to deal with S3's latency.

This enables pretty fun use-cases such as Geo-Distributed ZFS :)

Bonus: ZFS ends up being a pretty compelling end-to-end test in the CI! https://github.com/Barre/ZeroFS/actions/runs/16341082754/job/46163622940#step:12:49

So like, to make it short.. my friend (not me lol) is trying to download a bunch of videos off Pornhub. They just got into data hoarding stuff and have a drive setup for it.

I don't usually mess with this kind of thing cause it just seems sketchy af, but they asked me to help find an app or something that works, cause most of the sites they found just seem full of popups or malware traps. I'm honestly kinda stuck now cause there's like a million tools out there and no clue which are actually safe.

They use a Mac btw, and I tried showing them yt-dlp but it just confused them, so unless theres an easier way, Id have to set it up for them. Anyone got recs for something safer and not a virus pit?

im looking to archive some smaller streaming platforms (eternal family) and wondering if theres any way to automate this. my usual way to download from these is to use ytmp3 on the m3u8 files for each episode/movie. wondering if there would be any way to make it faster since i need to start playing each episode before i can get a link to download. would there be any way to script this or any apps i could use to automate it?

Hey DataHoarders,

I built a small linux CLI tool in Python called remap-badblocks. It scans a block device for bad sectors and creates a device-mapper that skips them. It also reserves extra space to remap future badblocks dynamically.

Useful if you want to keep using slightly-damaged drives without dealing with manual remapping.

Check it out:

• GitLab: https://gitlab.com/Luigi-98/remap_badblocks
• PyPI: pip install remap-badblocks

Would love feedback, bug reports, contributions, help shaping the roadmap or even rethinking everything all over again!
