Same, I run 3 devices all on Lineage and its great. Who know that you could still get updates and support for a device from 10 years ago, suck on that apple.

SSD’s dont work like old HD’s depending on the generation of tech it might be storing multiple values per cell which means when you “filled” the SSD you put a charge into every single storage cell on the drive.
Garbage collection and TRIM will slowly over time clear out all the cells flagged as deleted but if one bit is still valid in a cell that was holding 3-4 other bits it cant overwrite that, or relocate it.
That means that your files/videos and such stay fragmented and may never get put back together sequentially or in a way that the controller can optimize again for speed.
The only fix, may be running a factory wipe from the Drive MFG’s tool set, that should fully blank each cell and let you re-install and make it feel fresh again.
Be warned though, you have already done a full drive write once at least, this would be another. You can expect some dead cells and while there is over provisioning that should provide replacements you could see a loss in usable space sooner than later.

depending on the type most NVR’s are just custom linux builds, so VLC has few issues. I have yet to find an NVR video I could not run on my box, but my sample size is not huge, and its not corporate surveillance level gear im testing with
I am currently expanding my Homelab setup, and want to buy a 10TB drive, for media storage. It’s a Seagate Ironwolf disk, so perfect for the job. But, it’s second hand. It was originally bought in 2019, but stopped being used after 2022. Only used for static storage, it’s been booted less than 50 times. I can get it for...
dont: Used HDD are not worth the risk/cost as the chance of failure outside of warranty is too high. Maybe: Enterprise SSD’s, sometimes you can find low ware SSDs that are cast off from enterprise organizations at reasonable prices, often more so if its used SAS as average consumers need an HBA to utilize the drive. Be cautious as some SSD’s are discarded because of firmware bugs that cause early failures.
Hello Lemmy community need help wanting to find the best outdoor 360 camera that uses wifi by default but can switch to cellaur data if needed. Anyone have any good ideas?
WiFi sucks for cameras when possible you should always run a POE camera for both power and data.
I also always suggest avoiding app subscriptions because then the period of support is out of your control and they can cut you off from an otherwise working camera and you have no recourse.

Have you ever failed at something? How did you get back up after that?
Perhaps failure in college, class, career, or other things.
