You’re absolutely correct, and in my experience authors with physics background are even worse.

I’ve seen algorithms that I know by heart, understand fully and have implemented tens of times represented in such a way that I can’t even recognise them.

+1 I’m surprised nobody else mentioned it. Alpine seems to be able to run on anything.

My model, and I believe all other, have a 4pin molex connector for the power and as many sata ports as the rack can handle (in my case 4). My “mobile rack” came with 4 rather long sata cables (about 30cm) so it was easy to fit them through an empty pcie bracket slot and I just had to buy a somewhat long 4pin molex adapter.

The drives are practically internal, they are just located outside of the case in said “mobile rack”.

i got a Fujitsu D556/2 (SFF as well) exactly because it seemed to have an optical drive bay. Turned out it does not have one, but some double sided tape and ugly cable management solved the issue for me :D.

Mobile rack is just what these things seem to be called. Basically it’s just a cage that fits multiple 2.5" drives into a CD/DVD drive bay.

Yes. For some reason yesterday, while trying to use the demo it just returned a login screen. Strangely, today it just logs in automatically.

Is it just me or there are no login credentials for the demo listed anywhere?

Maybe give FileBrowser a shot. It’s not very fast, but it’s very easy to setup and keeps your folder structure intact.

If RAID is what you’re after, don’t mind the premium for SSD storage and have available 5.25" bays, I highly recommend 5.25" mobile racks. The one I’m using is a a cheap 4 drive one, but if you want something more premium there is always ICY DOCK.

Exactly. Just as a real world example for OP, my home server has an i5 7400 with the same TDP. At idle the whole system draws around 10.5W, measured from the wall.

Just gave it a try, and it seems to work just fine like that. Thank you.

Just with different environment variables?

Is it ok to just run a few instances with just different port numbers and environment variables? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I thought some isolation was needed, even planned on running the instances as different users. Also, thank you for the detailed explanation.

What about running it as a flatpak? Do you think that’s restricted enough if it is exposed to the internet?

I have the exact same model sending me birthday reminders daily. Scraped all my facebook friends’ birthdays years ago and made a very basic telegram bot. Saved me more than one embarrassing moments, including today, as I completely forgot about my brother’s birthday.

Do you know if there is a EU-wide place to report such behavior?

The biggest privately owned TV channel in my country not only does that, but actually just redirects you to a pdf file if you want to “manage cookies”. And it’s not like I can submit a complaint on a national level, as the ruling party’s website uses google analytics without a cookie notice at all.

At the time we were watching Stranger things a lot, so I called it demogorgon.

Well, I made my girlfriend a GUI app that converts subtitles from Windows-1251 to utf-8 encoding so that she doesn’t have to remember how to do it. And I didn’t even name it after her…

Can you point me to some of them? I’m quite interested in visual hashing.
