UFS 5.0 low power embedded storage for smartphones and other devices is on the way. The new spec brings support for sequential read speeds up to 10.8 GB/s, which is almost twice as fast as UFS 4.0 (5.8 GB/s). https://www.jedec.org/news/pressreleases/ufs-50-coming-jedec%C2%AE-sets-stage-next-leap-flash-storage #storage #JEDEC #UFS5

If you're storing anything battery-powered (flashlight, radio, etc.) as part of your emergency supplies, don't store it with alkaline batteries inside. When they inevitably leak, they'll damage or destroy the device. Much better to rubber-band them to the outside.

Started looking at the JMAP code again. I need to finish off a number of things API-wise and build a simple client. I'm looking forward to being able to use it to store large datasets with efficient sync. As much as I'd love to just version control my several TB of media or use an off the shelf thing, the mechanisms I've looked at, including git-annex and syncthing, just don't quite meet my needs.
If anyone knows of a file sync/storage thing that has:
- efficient incremental sync (S3 backends for rclone aren't it)
- block level deduplication
- revocable sharing links
- flexible user controlled views of the data
- shared folders
- snapshots
- controllable object level versioning
- bring your own storage model (eg I give it disks or another object store)
- (nice to have) fuse (or other) mounting
I'd love to not make my own thing.

I know a lot of folks are #Selfhosting big storage here, so this is a question for you!
Also, I follow you @stefano and @gyptazy and know you have hands on experience with this, hence the tagging.
I plan to upgrade my #Proxmox storage with 4 12+TB disk (mostly for expendable data, don't really care if I lost lot data if a disk dies, but they will be in #zfs raidz-1).
So for my current budge I'm thinking about buying WD Red Pro 12TB or I also found Toshiba Enterprise MG Series 20TB (MG10ACA20TE).
Do you recommend any of this, or can you help me find better disks?
Thanks for your help!

Its very small but a good proof of concept:

It just got merged… You can now easily manage storage in #Proxmox with #Ansible.
Simply add CephFS, NFS, iSCSI or Proxmox Backup Server to your cluster with a simple Ansible task :)
