Hey all, I’m using an iPhone 13 with the latest update. Until now the app was working perfectly. Since last night I’m having issues connecting to vpn, no connection seems to work. Can anyone please help with that?

I've got a spare laptop or two that's just sitting there doing nothing right now so I decided to spin them up and do some seeding for Anna's Archive.

Well. I've downloaded the magnet links and they are on my computer now, 0 uploads for the week.

What....what even is the point of this exercise?

I need a PCIe card that will handle 4-8 SATA drives for use in a full tower case. I'm not seeing very many choices anymore. I have a cheapy 4 port card that only seems to work on 2 of the ports and doesn't secure the SATA cables very well.

I'd like something better. I suppose SAS cards are the next step, especially if I want 8 ports. I have the PCIe slot available (8X).

This is for local storage that is backed up on a NAS. I currently have 5 hard drives and two DVD drives and I'd like room to grow.

Any recommendations? I'd like to stay below $150 if possible. I know that makes it more difficult. Used?

I haven't had to buy anything like this for over 10 years so I'm a bit in the dark these days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TLDR: I want to avoid data corruption on my small server by occasionally writing archived data from one disk across to another. From lurking on this forum this seems to be a simple way to avoid the quiet corruption of data that can happen if you simply leave it there and don't access it for years.

I'm running Ubuntu Server and just writing a cron script to activate rsync and copy data across every three months seems like an adequate way to do this. I'm thinking of keeping three copies of everything, and overwriting the oldest copy when I run out of space.

Does this sound reasonable? I'm not terribly technical and just don't get round to making multiple backups every month.

Detail: I have an old Microserver with a range of hard drives (512GB to 1TB) that ended up being surplus over time. About 12GB of drive space altogether, with 8GB being two 4GB external USB drives. This is about twice as much capacity as I need at the moment.

In addition I have about 4GB of "loose" external HDDs for cold storage.

Just counted—I've got around 131 movies stashed away, most clocking in at about 10 GB each. That’s well over a terabyte of cinematic intentions that somehow never make it off the drive and onto the screen. It’s not like I don’t want to watch them. I just… don’t.

Even with everything neatly sorted in Plex, I’ll spend more time browsing than actually watching anything. Sometimes I try to spice it up with a random picker, but that usually ends with me questioning my own taste in downloads.

To make things worse, I keep defaulting to streaming on Netflix instead. Something about knowing the downloaded stuff is “always there” makes it feel less urgent. Meanwhile, Netflix keeps throwing autoplay at me and suddenly I’m three episodes deep into something I didn’t even plan to watch. The hoard just keeps growing.

Honestly, I think I’ve started collecting more for the thrill of the hunt than for the viewing itself. It’s weirdly satisfying seeing the folders grow—even if my watchlist guilt grows along with it.

Anyone else living in quiet denial with a beautifully curated backlog you barely touch? Or do some of you actually make a dent in yours? Teach me your ways.

Alright so let me start this by saying that where-ever i look i see that MicroSDs are not reliable at all or less reliable than any other storage media, which im pretty sure is true.

I've done a lot of research on the topic and do know about the NAND technologies being different (SLC/MLC back in ~2012 to TLC and QLC in 2024) and the differences of reliability of those, differences in Error Correction (BCH, LPDC), controllers, channels etc.

But all i managed to get is theoretical or manufacturer stated data or TBW's which tell me only the theoretical reliability not the practical one, i also don't have the time to test those MicroSDs (Cause doing genuine testing for long term reliability would logically take years)

On the flip side i had older MicroSDs survive over a decade with only minor corruption and hence my questions:

How reliable long-term are modern, High end high capacity MicroSD's (like the Samsung Pro Ultimate, Sandisk Extreme Pro or Sandisk Max Endurance)?

How long do these cards last practically (data retention) before the data corrupts?

Huge thanks to any and all answers, if i got something wrong also huge thanks for any and all corrections
