Irrational fear about equipment catching fire while not at home in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Whilst I am with the "yeah, that's irrational" crowd, there are these things that might help allay some fears. https://www.controlfiresystems.com/products/fire-suppression/ceasefire-pre-engineered/

Not to start a flame war, but WD or Seagate for 20TB drives? (no shucking) in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Anecdotally out of the maybe 100 drives I have dotted around here the failed ones are mainly Seagate.

In the field though, makes no odds. Most of the kit I am supplied with comes with Seagate, not had any issues with them.

I'm redoing my home network.... Any suggestions / tips? in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

What doesn't work? Doesn't look like it needs "improving" specifically.

Buy a cheap NVR. Much easier than pissing about with servers and Windows. Most will have a partner app and simple cloud connectivity. Much easier all round.
