laptops are sold at the same price with similar components, so no

I’d kinda trust it if it would detect the errors on its own, but now it’s just returning corrupt data, so I’d ditch it

For that the laptop has to support a charge level on a hardware level though, just setting a limit will cause it to constantly switch between using the battery and charging the battery which would be much worse than keeping it at 100%. Most older and budget systems don’t support that

Using the laptops battery isn’t a good long term solution though as having it plugged in all the time will wear it down fast, not to mention that the battery is build for maximum energy density and not durability/safety. It just simply not working when it is finally needed is almost a pretty light issue when it can just also inflate and pose a huge fire risk next to all of your data. Laptops are great power efficient platforms though for servers

Now try IPv6 only :P

Consumer external hard drive enclosures may offer a JBOD mode, I had one from Icy Box for a few days, the transfer rates were good but the little fan didn’t cool the hard drives well enough while accessing them. Ended up buying a Define R5 instead

BTRFS + Seagate SMR seems to work well in my experience, especially if used like a WORM drive. No 24/7 rating, but 5TB per drive

While in no means a security measure, just disabling IPv4 for SSH on my VPS has completely eliminated bots/scripts attempting to login to my VPS directly

Can’t be that important if people don’t actually choose with their wallets (Xperia 5 II owner btw)
