I have 2 questions:
Do I understand the colors correctly in that /home is deprecated and shouldn’t be used? What’s the alternative in that case?
Where would you guys put configuration files for services? /srv seems like an adequate directory
I found it a pain in the ass to remove amazon drm ebooks. What worked for one book suddenly didn’t for the next.
Whenever possible I try to avoid them for that reason
Honestly, what else would it be? Text takes ridiculously little storage compared to a single picture of a decent resolution.
Depends I guess. For me the biggest concern when I bought my Synology was simplicity of usage and idle power consumption which is much lower than I could get with one of the older computers I have lying around.
I am currently using 2 16TB drives in Raid 1 and was planning to move to Raid 5 (or maybe it was 6) if I need more storage by adding a 3rd drive.
What would you recommend instead?
I just wished they were more relevant in german politics.
It’s the typical dilemma. Vote for a party you know won’t get enough votes to do something or vote for the least bad of the established parties.
Well, theoretically yes but it doesn’t continuously send data and both WiFi and Zigbee also allow for operation on various channels. Does your neighbors WiFi interfere with yours?
Also, most WiFi devices now support 5GHz WiFi anyway so it’s even less of an issue anymore. The bigger problem would probably be WiFi interfering with ZigBee. But again, that can be resolved by changing the channels.
Isn’t Zigbee always on 2.4GHz regardless of country? Trying to shift the frequency to 915MHz for all devices sounds like a lot of work with questionable benefit
That’s a good point. Another one I have is sort of failure tolerance. I used to have a really unreliable router which would often crash and could only be reset using a full power reset. While it was in this state, wifi obviously stopped working but my zigbee devices where still available. I used to have a zigbee button linked to a smart plug for toggling my router off and on again.
This shouldn’t be a concern for most people obviously but I wanted to share my experience.
Another point I want to mention is that zigbee works at 2.4Ghz just like basic wifi so they can still interfere with each other.
Zwave on the other hand uses another frequency (I think it was around 860MHz) but is more expensive.
Unfortunately not all features are always available on those ROMs.
One example is GrapheneOS and Google Wallet which I cannot use due to GrapheneOS not being considered “certified software” by the app and therefore not being trusted.
