D'après la documentation de One Drive, c'est parfaitement OK de faire fuiter des miniatures d'images privées par des URL publiques sans contrôle d'accès :
> Les URL des miniatures sont des URL de cache sécurisées.
J'y penserai s'il me vient à l'idée de stocker des dick pics sur One Drive 
TIL that xfs has supported copy-on-write reflink copies for years, where as zfs only got it last year (and it is not considered stable!)

My adventures with TrueNAS so far... I like it, it's complex, but seems pretty powerful, but also complicated.
Rebooting Petabyte Control Node
am rebooting one of the control nodes for a petabyte+ storage array, after 504 days of system uptime..
watching kernel log_level 6 debug info scroll by on the SoL terminal via iDrac..
logs scrolling, the array of SAS3 DE3-24C double-redundant SFF linked Oracle/Sun drive enclosures spin-up and begin talking to multipathd...
waiting for Zpool cache file import..
waiting.. 131 / 132 drives online across all enclosures.. hmm.. what's this now...
> transport_port_remove: removed: sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620)
well ffs 
> 12:0:10:0: SATA: handle(0x0017), sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620), phy(32),
oh, that's a SATA drive on the system's local enclosure bay for scratch data, it's not part of the ZFS pool.. 
next step, not today, move control nodes to a higher performance + lower wattage pair of FreeBSD servers

OxiCloud is an open source lightweight alternative to NextCloud
NextCloud is great, but it tends to be heavyweight and packs a ton of extra functionality in.
OxiCloud may be worth considering if you are looking for something a lot lighter and faster. OxiCloud requires a minimum of 512 MB RAM, and I see it has ...continues

@jdavidnet TrueNAS is open source. (Used to be FreeNAS so it's been around forever.) It supports ZFS.
We use Synology at work. It's simple to setup and use, while TrueNAS Scale is more complex and difficult to use. More of a learning curve.
As for running applications, containers, etc. see this list: https://www.truenas.com/apps/
(Screenshot of my fresh install showing 169 applications I could install.)
I'm looking for #data on #CloudStorage providers, in an effort to:
a) sort out where I put my #backups, and
b) not trawl the internet to aggregate this data myself!
I'm looking for basic info (pricing; access protocols; hosting locations; data sovereignty), and also facts about the provider such as public/private ownership, tax residency, and ultimate beneficial ownership.
I'm more than happy to glue disparate datasets together: do you have any pointers? #opendata #storage #s3 #rclone #restic
It's so rad seeing more accessories and enclosures utilizing NVME drives. It's super easy to add HUGE storage to a laptop or mini PC.

Acasis 4-Bay Thunderbolt 4 NVME RAID Enclosure Review!
As part of my de-Google efforts I'm investigating file manager scripts for my shared hosting space. Tiny File Manager is a great little script, one php file in the home directory with hash password login, and everything is accessible. Create, edit, view, delete, upload, copy and link to. I'll test other free/OS scripts but this is great, and obv you can customise the script as much as you like.
New green battery tech - from red state Alabama
Doesn't require cooling, a big downside of lithium ion batteries.
Also cheaper to produce.
From inventor of Super Soaker.
He's also Tuskegee Institute engineer involved with stealth bomber, bunch of other stuff.
Cannot make this stuff up!

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."
This quote about the bandwidth of physical transportation is roughly 10 years older than me. It came up in the Packet Pushers slack channel, and somebody wondered if it's still valid in 2025. Ouch! I got nerd sniped! Now I'm wondering too. Let's investigate.
To start, we'll need some numbers. This is gonna be pretty big on guesstimates, royally rounding things up or down, and ignoring some geometrical factors.
I can't ascertain the quote's origin, but I'm certain it originated in the USA. A 1975 American station wagon could have been a Ford LTD Wagon. Let's pick that one, it looks like a sweet ride. According to the brochure, it features a cargo volume of "over 100 cu. ft. counting lockable below-deck stowage". That's over 2,800,000 cubic centimers.
Let's choose a distance outside of the USA, UK, Liberia and Myanmar. That way we can stick with the International System of Units (SI), avoid dealing with miles, and avoid deteriorating our sanity any further.
One of my longer road trips featured a drive from Rome, IT to Dordrecht, NL: around 1600 kilometers. Assuming two alternating drivers, some bad traffic and some stops, let's say the drive takes us 25 hours.
The bandwidth could be 800 Gbit/s today, ignoring bandwidth-delay product. If you get creative with source and destination storage arrays and the network inbetween, you could conceivably multiplex and achieve some multiple, but 800 Gbit/s seems like a fair number so we'll stick with that.
Pushing 800 Gbit/s for 25 hours straight, we're are able to transfer a total of 9,000,000 gigabytes (9,000 terabytes or 9 petabytes). At this point I'm already intuiting the final answer, but let's move along.
According to a quick Google search, the highest capacity SSD for the last few years (HDD's don't come close anymore) has been the ExaDrive EDDCT100/EDDCS100 at 100TB. The ExaDrive is a 3.5" SSD. However, Solidigm is currently releasing a 122.88TB version of the D5-P5336 SSD. The D5-P5336 is a tall 2.5" SSD with a volume of 105 cubic centimeters. The weight is guesstimated at 300 grams.
A possible alternative are microSD cards. The highest capacity ones are 1.5 TB today. A microSD card weighs about 0.5 grams. The volume of a single card is about 0.165 cubic centimeters. So a microSD fits in the tall 2.5" SSD model roughly 636 times. Rounding up, the microSD's give us a nice single petabyte in the volume of a single tall 2.5" SSD, or almost a factor 10 difference. Interestingly, the weight of a single tall 2.5" SSD's volume is roughly equal to the weight of that same volume in microSD cards. So microSD cards it will be!
To keep things simple, let's work with the rounded numbers we have so far. 105 cubic centimeters worth of microSD cards will fit into the Ford LTD Wagon more than 25.000 times. However, that would be almost 10 million microSD cards, or almost 5000 kilograms of them. I can't find all the numbers for the Ford LTD Wagon, but the towing capacity I found was close to 1000 kg. I'm taking the towing capacity as an indication of the weight capacity of the car itself, even though there are different factors involved. Assuming a couple of humans and a bunch of stuff actually in the car during that towing, I'm picking a maximum of 1500 kg worth of microSD's. With two drivers, let's hope that the axles will hold and sacrifice a goat for zero speed bumps. 1500 kg would allow for 3 million microSD cards or 4500 petabytes.
One final note: we're ignoring the time it might take to transfer some data set from some storage array to 3 million microSD's (and to load them into the station wagon) before departing. We're also unsure about and ignoring any transfer time after arriving at the destination. I suspect these same assumptions were also in place about the tapes when the original quote was made.
The suggested drive will take 25 hours, and in that time the 800 Gbit/s connection will "only" transfer 9 petabytes. So with 4500 petabytes, the station wagon will transfer about 500 times more data than the 800 Gbit/s connection. Wow! You'd need a lot of multiplexing to offset the difference.
It's clear that the limiting factor is the weight capacity of the station wagon. A small truck or sturdy van would have been a more sensible choice. In any case, the station wagon wins hands down. Unless that old thing breaks down.
Sometimes I think, maybe I should use TrueNAS, and then I remembered that their C•Suite decided to give the 
to FreeBSD... the very same operating system and community of developers and engineers who enabled their company to exist from the start, to scale to the level which brought them success and growth and accolades from the OSS and enterprise storage communities alike.
So no, I don't use TrueNAS. Whatever many reasons they and their indolent fanboys push for moving to Linux, and I have heard them all, it's irrelevant. They didn't just bite the hand that feeds, they went straight over to the clown-show makeup meme table and slathered it on; trying so hard to convince everyone including themselves that this betrayal was the Good and Ethical thing to do.
Luckily there are alternatives, and those will get my time, engineering efforts, and fiscal support. One thing to remember: alienated users do not recommend those formerly loved products to their employers, they do not "spread the love" via organic marketing, and perhaps sometimes they dissuade when they would formerly embrace.
@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:
An SSD docking station is a great idea to easily utilise replaced SSSD drives
This is an interesting idea to use those SSD drives that you may have upgraded, because if an SSD drive is left for too many months without being plugged in, it can lose its data.
This is an easy way to plug one or more in and use it for ad-hoc s ...continues
