Sounds like bare metal windows box. If it's power related, there will be critical event log entry, with event id 41.

If you want to query drives, I think Intel has some utility for that, Intel Rapid Storage Technology or something similar.

Bitwarden isn't a microservice based architecture. It's just a service based. If you're using a shared database, it's not a microservice. Microservices each have their own database and then either through your API gateway, service discovery, message broker, etc each service queries the other service for the data it needs.

That’s a false statement. Microservices can share single database. In perfect world each microservice would have each own, but we’re far from perfect.

No it's not. That's what defines it as a microservice. If the services all talk to the same database, it's just a service based architecture.

No, because there’s really no single definition of microservices.

Microservices have been all the hype in the past few years, but has anyone actually seen any real applications that use microservices architecture? I'm not talking about Amazon, Netflix or Uber, I'm interested in something you can deploy yourself. So far I think the only application I've seen is Bitwarden, everything else is just monolithic approach. Well, maybe Kubernetes too, but it's hard to call that an app or service.

I want to get one misconception out of the way, I'll use Nextcloud as an example. You can deploy it as a monolithic app, as a single container running on apache and sqlite, I think it supports that db. You can also split it and run main app on php-fpm, postgresql, nginx, redis, and cron, all in separate containers. 2nd case is still monolithic app, with just bunch of 3rd party dependencies. That's not what I'm looking for. Bitwarden for example, is separated into multiple microservices, web, admin, sso, attachments, icons, api, identity, events, notifications, all these are coupled Bitwarden services, not 3rd party dependencies.

Any other examples?

My god how big is your NAS/Server?

It's in ATX tower case. 90TB is in Google Drive. Locally I have 4x2TB SSD in raidz pool.

OK, that's seemingly less crazy.. but still - what the heck is your monthly bill for that?

$12 flat, G Suite business. Unlimited storage.

How do you get that? They want me to buy a minimum of 5 to get that.

Buy just 1, they don't enforce 5 users minimum. You'll still get unlimited storage.

Except it is also Google, and who knows how long they will keep the offer or even the service.

G Suite is not going anywhere any time soon. They might as well kill Gmail if they are willing to discontinue G Suite. Unlimited storage has been there for years, and it's offered as a business service, it'd be pretty dumb to suddenly screw their business customers over. Microsoft and Amazon pulled that stunt before, although with non-business users, and I don't think it worked out too well for them. Everyone I've heard was using their storage services switched to G Suite.

Google does it constantly with non-business customers. So if that's a fear for the others, it's a fear for them. And the lesson that they have learned is that... customers don't leave even when you do that.

Ok, but what paid services has Google killed recently? I know they constantly do that with free services. Amazon and Microsoft were both charging for unlimited cloud drives, and at some point they told everyone to pound sand. Has Google done it with paying customers?

Can't remember the name, but they used to have this conferencing system and they phased it out while you paid for it on Google Suite. Only time I was ever subjected to the hell of being a G Suite customer and it was the worst. And a huge portion of our time working with it was all dealing with them discontinuing the parts that we needed.

Hangouts? Probably something older than that, we used Hangouts, and they replaced it with Meet.

https://killedbygoogle.com/

I've used quite a few of their products and services but none were paid. Maybe there was something obscure, like Google Photos Print, that was paid, but everything else I recognize was free. Well, free as in free beer, I paid for it with my privacy.

Where do i sign up for that?

You need a domain to sign up, but that can be as low as $0.50/year.

Anyone used Jellyfin?

I looked at it, but haven't set up a media server yet. I need to for our music collection.

I'm about to start the process of music conversion. Several thousand CDs to convert so that I don't need to store them anymore. What a pain that is going to be.

don't you have to keep the media to prove you have license to the rip? or is the new location you're moving to not care about such things?

Well, yes, when in the US. Legally I don't need them elsewhere. But I don't plan to dispose of them, just transfer them into very tight, not easy to access, storage.

Can you store them on a spool, instead of cases? Thousands of cases, or even sleeves take a lot of space.

I know it's a fork of Emby. I'm not a fan of Mono/.net apps, so I'm sticking to Plex. Also lack of Apple TV app makes it non-starter now. If they add that, I might give it a shot. I know Emby has AMD hardware acceleration, I would assume Jellyfin has it too, that's one thing I'm missing in Plex.

I thought that they had AppleTV now on their site.

https://jellyfin.org/clients/

Still nothing. Airplay as a workaround, maybe Emby client could work. But all that has extremely low Wife Approval Factor, so no joy.

Edit: I missed Infuse app, so looks like it's viable now.

I used to rip BluRays with MakeMKV, DVDs went into shredder, it’s such a low quality compared to 1080p. Then I learned about Couchpotato, later Sonarr and Radarr, so I stopped ripping. My workflow with Plex is 100% automated, I don’t even have to add shows and/or movies I want to watch. Above applications allow you subscribe to various lists, top 250 IMDB, or highest grossing this week, etc. then search for it, send it to download client, when done downloading rename it, copy/move/hardlink to Plex library location, and finally notifying Plex so it scans it.

I have lifetime Plexpass, if you want to buy it, wait until Black Friday or Christmas’s, they usually have sales then, 50% off.

I don’t share my libraries with anyone, just me and my wife. Storage wise it’s about 90TB right now, growing daily. 2700+ movies, 12000+ tv show episodes, 37000+ music tracks. Believe it or not, that’s rather small library.

Since it's a church, I'm guessing there's zero budget to hire professional. Wix or similar builders will probably be best for her.

5G in US averages 51Mbps while other countries hit hundreds of megabits

It's an upgrade over 4G but not a huge one due to reliance on low-band spectrum.
Average 5G download speeds in the US are 50.9Mbps, a nice step up from average 4G speeds but far behind several countries where 5G speeds are in the 200Mbps to 400Mbps range. These statistics were reported today by OpenSignal, which presented average 5G speeds in 12 countries based on user-initiated speed tests conducted between May 16 and August 14. The US came in last of the 12 countries in 5G speeds, with 10 of the 11 other countries posting 5G speeds that at least doubled those of the US.

That's because we don't have 5G in the US. We mostly didn't get actual 4G. They got permission to rebrand 3G as 4G under some conditions to avoid having to roll out actual 4G using LTE instead (LTE is a 3G tech with permission to be called 4G even though it didn't meet the requirements as it was an older generation tech.)

The issue with 4G in general was/is that unlike 3G, there was never any minimum bandwidth requirements, so operators could roll out equipment that provided dial-up speeds and call it 4G. I guess it's the same story with 5G.

It works pretty well with Docker. Here's a repo to get started: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/docker-onlyoffice-nextcloud

It's using SQLite, but you could easily just create a container for postgres or whatever and use that.

I have mine running in Docker too, on postgress, nginx and php-fpm. I probably have a docker-compose file for that setup somewhere.

We have CODE, but on Docker, too. No issues there.

I've never had any luck with CODE, no idea why, ONLYOFFICE just worked.
