20W/drive means 30x24x0.2 kWh each month for 10 drives. At 0.20€/kWh, that’s 28€/month, cheaper than a 20TB Hetzner box. That’s assuming all drives are always spinning, as an idle drive uses more like 5W.

systemd doesn’t violate the UNIX philosophy. Just like coreutils, it’s a project with many programs with a single responsibility.

Also, the UNIX philosophy isn’t law, and many useful programs do not follow it.

No reason apart from Linux support, workshop, remote play, Steam Input, excellent customer support… You can hate Valve as a corporation all you want, but Steam is objectively the better platform, by a mile.

>inb4 but on gog you actually own your games

This is false, as stated by their ToS.

Agreed. RAID is useless. Your drives will never fail before you’d want to replace them with larger ones anyway.

Like clockwork, tankies will call actual leftists “liberals” everytime someone mentions that tankies are fascists who support capitalist imperialism from Russia and China.

Tankies are fascists with left wing aesthetics.

No.

SQLite is fine for small amounts of data and very few users. The bottleneck with Nextcloud is almost never the database.

Those who don’t know may be using Nextcloud AIO, which is bundled with Postgres.

Capitalism is capitalism. Doesn’t matter what they sell.

No, but you can encrypt before sending the data, or use something like restic.

I’ve been using one of their 20TB boxes for backups for about a year now. I use restic. No issues whatsoever.

It was most likely a joke.

Nextcloud’s biggest issue is performance, and PHP, while not a problem per se, doesn’t help. PHP is not designed for huge applications that need to have processes running in the background; it only runs when a request is made then stops the process, therefore it needs to load itself from scratch on every single page load.

This is because PHP uses something called CGI; the webserver (usually nginx or Apache) calls an external PHP binary to generate a page. With Go (or pretty much any other language), the app is its own server and can keep data in memory and do stuff even when no request is coming.

All modules that call a Unix library contain WoW64 thunks to enable calling the 64-bit Unix library from 32-bit PE code. This means that it is possible to run 32-bit Windows applications on a purely 64-bit Unix installation. This is called the new WoW64 mode, as opposed to the old WoW64 mode where 32-bit applications run inside a 32-bit Unix process.
