Do they have some sort of speed degradation forced by the firmware? I read on Reddit that some of they may have a firmware that slows them down so they will never be as fast as an internal HDD. Did you notice something similar?

My idea was to run it in a mini PC, where I self host some services. I'm not sure if there are HBAs in a small form factor that would allow me to install it on the mini PC (GMKtec G10).

I see some WD Elements external HDDs and they seem to be cheaper than internal HDDs. I don't know if they're worth it, though. For example, a 5TB one is about $130.

 

I'm sketching the idea of building a NAS in my home, using a USB RAID enclosure (which may eventually turn into a proper NAS enclosure).

I haven't got the enclosure yet but that's not that big of a deal, right now I'm thinking whether to buy HDDs for the storage (currently have none) to setup RAID, but I cannot find good deals on HDDs.

I found on reddit that people were buying high capacity drives for as low as $15/TB, e.g. paying $100 for 10/12TB drives, but nowadays it's just impossible to find drives at a bargain price, thanks to AI datacenters, I guess.

In Europe I've heard of datablocks.dev where you can buy white-label or recertified Seagate disks, sometimes you can find refurbished drives in eBay, but I can't find these bargain deals everyone seemed to have up until last year?

For example, is 134 EUR for a 6TB refurbished Toshiba HDD a good price, considering the price hikes? What price per TB should I be looking for to consider the drives cheap? Where else can I search for these cheap drives?

Authentik supports more authentication types and I think it's more stable so you can use it in larger production servers. VoidAuth seems to be a lightweight alternative that only provides OIDC.

Both. How do I get started creating a new article, and how do I contribute to them, or other articles?

If you have caddy as a reverse proxy inside podman user namespace separated networks, they don't take the upstream client IP address and instead you get local IP addresses assigned to logs. Socket activation is kinda required if you want to get the client's real IP address in your logs.

I use openSUSE MicroOS as the container host, with podman. It was a bit tricky to install it in my Hetzner VPS and get used to how MicroOS handles system updates (it's an immutable system), but I am quite happy with it. I found it interesting and decided to try out so I could learn how to use the system.

How do I get started on contributing to new articles (written by a human) for my language? I always wanted to help out but never found an easy way to do so.

With Encrypted Client Hello you can have some more privacy on obtaining certificates for wildcard domains, IIRC.
