Это точно! Но ведь человек может мечтать? 😩
Когда-нибудь я обязательно куплю себе телефон, на который влеплю PostmarketOS с SWMO и даже позвонить с него смогу… свалившись перед этим в пять-шесть перезагрузок, а может и поговорить… минуты две — ну, насколько уж там батареи хватит 😂

In any case, those of you who think "Wayland is buggy" are wrong — Linux kernel turned out to be more buggy 😆

It has survived hundreds of switches from HDMI output to internal display and back, and occasionally even to an external VGA one with all the software keeping runnning — well, most of it anyway: Lagrange sometimes crashes (and I suspect other SDL software might) due to weird resolutions being reported when switching outputs or when there's no output available, and occasional Thunderbird crashes — but that's what it always does anyway, sometimes for no obvious reason at all.

I had to reboot my laptop with over 160 days of uptime — kcompactd started crashing on suspend both to disk and to RAM. It's not the laptop I use the most, so this uptime alone isn't that impressive, most of the time it just sits hibernated connected to the TV, what makes it more interesting is that it was one of the longes continuous #Sway sessions. It's the smallest laptop I have, the one I often use it in the kitchen and take with me on trips.

For movies DLNA is amazing, I didn't even realise how handy it is until a couple of years ago. I have another machine that is my torrent seedbox — it has transmission-daemon and minidlnad, I can download a movie or a show and immediately watch it of any TV (one has Xbox plugged into it and the other one has built-in DLNA client) — without going into the trouble of transfering anything. The comfort of Netflix without any subscription costs 😂

And when I'm at home I use DLNA or Samba to access my collection, in addition to it, the machine hosting the music is plugged into the amp and I have cmus running on it and a tiny web interface, so I can control it from a phone without any special software, the remote is HTML with minimal JS so I can use any phone no matter how old — I have my old Windows phones scattered around the place and they do the job just fine 😁

@jae
> did you ever go down the path of jellyfin or plex?
No, I've never tried Jellyfin. When I'm not home I assume I would be mostly offline so I have ~300 Gb of music on my phone with me — not enough to hold my complete collection, but more than enough for the things I listen to more or less often.
@newt

@newt
> Then why are you writing all this?
Wasn't I clear enough about it?😂 The role of your machine is confusing to me — you use the same computer for everything in the book, to me it's unusual.
In my Xeon machine I have four identical disks, they are two pairs of disks, which are mirrored arrays: one is ZFS and the other one is Windows Storage Spaces, neither has any music on it. I like listening to the music without having to interact with a computer, I listen to CDs a lot🤷

@newt
> It would be slow as fuck. Right now, the read speed from the pool is around 400-500 megabytes/s (3-4gbits/s) before caching.
And why exactly would you need throughputs like that for music? Want to have a fast storage with redundancy and advanced features and keep your music there too — fine, me? I'm really glad that I can listen to the music or watch a movie without having to interact with a computer I do computer stuff on.

@newt
Oh, FFS, I'm not here to make you do things my way: if you like your setup — fine, to me it seems unusual — that's it. But if you think that the way I see it is exotic and what you do isn't, I don't think so — people use things like AirPlay, Time Capsule or plug in USB disks into their routers to have a makeshift NAS and use DLNA with that — my solution just isn't a pre-made consumer device, yet very few keep their music collection on a ZFS volume in RAID 5 array.

@iska
Yeah, keeping batteries in shape in a UPS capable of sustaining a Xeon machine for a reasonable time is very expensive — I've been attempting to keep it up, but eventually given up: when you can't be sure that they would last, it's just an expensive surge protector — doesn't make much sense.

@newt
Using one computer for everything but the kitchen sink makes sense to you — okay, not that I can make you not do it anyway.
Also "I don't want to bother — I use ZFS for everything" would be a valid point, "I'm storing music on ZFS because it has nice features" — nope! What are those features that would make sense for a digital music collection? Replication, snapshots? 🤭

@newt
> No, I can't
Queen? Yeah man, nobody but you has that in their collection.
> I should have two computers instead of one
You can even plug an USB hard drive into your router — it would be a poor file server, but still enough to listen to the music and watch 4k movie rips.
Don't have a router because power is cheap and you prefer using a computer with active cooling for that too? 😂
That was my original point, the role of this machine is unclear to me.

@iska
Getting a UPS isn't much of a problem — always having good batteries in one is!

> ext4 doesn't support RAID
That's the point, why bother with RAID if you can grab that stuff from original media (or illegally p2p-download it if that is more your thing) — in case you ever lose it.
> I don't have other computers on the network
There are still good reasons to have those things available without having your main rig running — like power saving.
I also really appreciate being able to enjoy music and movies without having to keep any "real" computer running.

@newt
Of course it does, but none of them are relevant for storing stuff like music and movies that you can easily download again — I'd rather have stuff like that on a plain ext4 partition on a spinning rust hard drive that spins down to save power in half an hour of inactivity, plugged into an ARM machine like Raspberry Pi.
Run samba and minidlna on it and you can access your library from any machine on the network — watch movies directly from the TV, no need to keep your workstation running.

@newt
I can't come up with what role this machine might have — a workstation? Why so much storage then? 30 Tb seems too much for there to be any redundancy, I'd rather go for redundancy at the cost of having less space. And if it's just a volume for throwaway stuff (and not rare digitised music does belong to this category), why bother with zfs at all?
If it's a file server of some sort, why bother having a GUI — the less stuff you have installed, smaller the attack surface to worry about 🤷
