You should look at power settings. HDDs can power down when not being read from or written to. It extends the time you wait when you need the data on them but can save on their lifetime / electric / heat.
Add Mazda to this list please.
The developer of this plugin for HomeAssistant apparently didn't have insurance and couldn't risk the legal fight. This is the DMCA take down that Mazda issued for the reason that the code "provides functionality same as what is currently in Apple App Store and Google Play App Store"

Honestly, I think the platform is pretty stable if you take out the outages caused by DDoS. Let's also be honest, would anyone be shocked if those DDoS's were actually sourced by a competitor who lost users to this platform?
It takes a ton of time and effort to be able to build robust DDoS mitigation strategies, even for Fortune 500/100 companies. Sure, you can throw yourself behind a known mitigation company, but their out of the box rules don't always work for you. Most of the time you go behind them in a "transparent" mode and begin slowly deciding what is and isn't a real threat. Volumetric attacks are easy to deal with - "hey, that's fake traffic, block it.". Attacks like the admins of lemmy.world have talked about are application layer and require much finer tuned filters. You can't just immediately say "block this" because you may block legitimate traffic.
I think it's more about getting the time to be able to develop the features mods want after dealing with how to protect the site, than it is about "stability of Lemmy"
That looks amazing! I'd be so excited to eat this but also terrified to eat it because it look like art.
I'm honestly waiting for sync to be ported. I loved the experience the developer created and want to support their migration to Lemmy. As much as I want a mobile app today, I'm willing to wait for one of my favorite devs to get their app ported over. :)
I opened sync to a blank page about 6 times before I had to uninstall it and I still find myself opening the folder it used to be in. I pause every time and sigh before I go find something else to do. I'm excited for the upcoming mobile apps for Lemmy and hope this can be a new home / refuge from the sadness that is now Reddit

Depends on how frequently you're accessing the data. If it's infrequently used, then spin up/down can be beneficial. But yes, you raise a good point. Thank you. :)
