I’ll always be impressed by your translations 😄

The translation was a bit stubborn on this one. I got different names with each translation and they all were quite different in wording.

友達の誕生日前になると送られてくるぼっちのメッセ

来週ントカちゃんの 誕生日だよー!

It’s either something like:

A message from Bokucho sent before a friend’s birthday

It’s Ntoca’s birthday next week!

Or possibly something like:

Messages from a friend start coming in as their birthday approaches.

Next week is Kontaka-chan’s birthday!

Not sure why this one is giving me so much trouble…

I don’t know myself, but it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to track the change. Just look at when tracker abc disappears and when tracker xyz takes its place. Unless you’re in an area with lots of trackers, it wouldn’t be too difficult to weed out the target tracker.

I’m pretty sure you can’t track them through the network. You can’t say “track this air tag wherever it goes”.

But you could use a device to track the signal the air tag emits as long as you’re in range.

Also forgot the email newsletter/X percent off pop-up

My guess, and confirmed by another comment, is that the ai only flags posts for review. Then the moderators have to manually check the post.

Honestly, it’s not a terrible use of AI in my opinion. Considering posts practically never change, they really only have to scan each post once. The mod can either flag it as safe or remove it. They are probably just running image and text pattern recognition on previously banned posts to flag newly submitted posts.

What is the range of a device like this? Is there any chance of using a mesh system like that if you’re not in a city? I’m about 30 miles away from a few towns, so there’s little chance for repeaters to be nearby.

After all the other comments and recommendations, I’ll likely do something like that. Haven’t looked up Reatic yet, but Tailscale looks to be what I need.

This will be for long term storage of files like family photos and document safe keeping, i.e. “let’s dump all our important files here so we don’t lose them”. Two people writing to the same file will practically never happen.

Our needs are flexible in terms of how the backup is performed in the technical sense, so I would imagine any of the feature rich NAS units can do what we need in some way or another.

I def need a massive drive just for me lol. I have multiple drives loaded full of files including an 8TB drive.

We will likely read data from every location. That way people can access the data at full speed using WLAN

I’ll keep Syncthing in mind.

I’ll probably go with an all in one NAS just to keep things simple for the less tech savvy people of my family.

There will probably be several pools. Each household will get a private pool. Then there will be a shared pool for stuff like family photos. Finally I’ll have the second drive as my own pool. So there will be 4-5 pools on the small drive.

Each NAS will be identical so all data is mirrored to each one. That way if a NAS dies or something worse happens like a house burning down, we won’t lose any files.

I’ll keep that in mind. Since you’ve pointed it out I can definitely see the technical difficulties of a system like that.

One thought I just had: could each individual NAS unit have its own 1:many? For example, the NAS in one house controls the backup for those people and the NAS in the second house controls the backup for them. That way each household can still access their own files through a wire if needed.

Having read some stuff on that drama, I got looking into Asustor NAS units. Their entry one looks perfect for our general use and has all the apps and features I think I could use.

That would be nice. Sadly, it doesn’t seem like there’s enough relevant people here on Lemmy to keep it active. At least not yet.

We want multiple devices so we can have extra backups of our important files. Power isn’t really a major concern since this will be mostly for long term storage.

Is Synology still a good option? I remember them getting some flack a bit ago. Something about hard drives I think?

I’ll kept a look out for deals like that.

I took a look at Nextcloud and really like it from a usability standpoint.

My question is what would my hardware options be? A form factor like the off the shelf NAS units is ideal since they will have to go on shelves next to the routers. If it was just me, a server rack would be fine, but I gotta keep it clean looking and on the smaller side. Also, I would like to keep the hardware price per house not much higher than the $300 range (excluding hard drives).
