So nobody will question the lack of sources to support all this claims?

"Beijing-affiliated state-sponsored hacking group" is a pretty bold claim. Any proofs/references to support this?

Feeling hope is good and all, but never forget that capitalism will find a way to explore and ruin even something as good as this, as it always have.

+25k lines in the PR looks very intimidating. Good luck to everyone involved

I never heard of any of those SBCs. Pretty interesting, thanks for the tip!

Quick question about the hubs. I saw some with 5+ ports. Using USB 2.0 I know I'll have some limitations on speed, but could I for instance, plug 5 HDDs and this speed would be evenly divided among then (given a moment where they all would get written at the same time)? If only 1 HDD is being written, would it get this full speed? Is this math that simple or are there more things that I'm not considering?

No reason, really. Just had in my mind that this was the way to get the most storage, but then someone mentioned about a single HDD with 20TB of capacity and idk, this haven't even crossed my mind. Might need to update myself on current HDDs 😅 Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! I'll see what options of powered USB hubs I got

Kinda... Nothing will be ideal in this setup, so I just want to know how to make the best with what I have. Thanks for the suggestion!

Looks interesting, thanks!

It wasn't exactly a well-thought choice 😂 I wanted to host my services locally so I had to choose between going for an old computer/NUC or a Raspberry Pi and chose the latter because it's not that power hungry. But then Raspberries are very hard to come by and even with the launch of RP5, they still look like very overpriced. So looking for alternatives, I came by the OrangePi, which sounded like a fair option 😅

Cool. It's just like, more than 20 years late, but cool

I guess the point is being open-source and integrating with open-source projects. Is this the case with LibraryThing? 🤔
