What have been your costliest mistakes in using Linux?
(lemmy.world)
Sure, but I wanted to ask fellow Linux users
Sounds like a question to ask the project directly, via their contact on the site: [email protected]
One sentence answer: "Object storage manages data as discrete units called objects with unique identifiers and metadata, while file storage organizes data in a hierarchical structure of files and folders."
fwiw, I see object storage used as a way to manage data regardless of the file system. It is designed to scale, as opposed to the file system, in large cloud environments.
Here is a recap from Google Cloud:
Object storage, also known as object-based storage, is a computer data storage architecture designed to handle large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike other architectures, it designates data as distinct units, bundled with metadata and a unique identifier that can be used to locate and access each data unit.
These units—or objects—can be stored on-premises, but are typically stored in the cloud, making them easily accessible from anywhere. Due to object storage’s scale-out capabilities, there are few limits to its scalability, and it’s less costly to store large data volumes than other options, such as block storage.
Much of today’s data is unstructured: email, media and audio files, web pages, sensor data, and other types of digital content that do not fit easily into traditional databases. As a result, finding efficient and affordable ways to store and manage it has become problematic. Increasingly, object storage has become the preferred method for storing static content, data arches, and backups.
Minio has worked well for many years. Haven't had any problems with it until now, but ready to migrate away.

Self-hosted Tools, Dead Tech, Papercrafting (Linux Prepper Podcast on Fediverse)
(podcast.james.network)
Good to know. I've actually been using the tools I discuss on the show, as opposed to only naming off whatever is the newest thing without having actually used it. Good to know if that isn't clear.
Linux Prepper is related to doing everything myself with fully open tooling as much as possible. I've never seen another show do the same, so I thought it would be fun to try. Self-hosting everything, and using foss tooling for everything all the time, might not be practical, but it is a fun challenge. That is the intention.

What abandoned or unmaintained Linux things (software, hardware, etc) do you use?
(discuss.james.network)
Would you please talk more about it. I forgot about Open-webui, but intending to start playing with. Honestly, what do you actually do with it?
Haha, that is why it is with friends and family for people who want that. Definitely not for everyone. Cheers.
Absolutely, hate listening strongly encouraged.
Do you mean within Lemmy? You click the save button (looks like a Star to me) in the menu directly below that post afaik.
Oh, just wait. More about this to discuss in next episodes. Ahahahahaha :)

Why? If nothing else, don't they hold their value really well?
