I own an older Nixplay W10P frame from 2023 which, despite having gigabytes of
free space, will no longer accept new photos due to recent mandatory changes
in the Nixplay’s terms of
service.
I’m not opposed to a company charging for services but their reasoning of
“rising storage and bandwidth costs” is unconvincing given both have declined
significantly in recent years. It’s reasonable to speculate that the next
update will continue to erode the reasons I chose the frame in the first place.
Who wants to bet it will be something to do with AI?
We’ve recently finished two significant changes to how Mozilla Accounts handles
password hashes which will improve security and increase flexibility around
changing emails. The changes are entirely transparent to end-users and are
applied automatically when someone logs in.
I installed TrueNAS a couple months ago to try out ZFS. It has some simple
backup options built-in but I didn’t see any encrypted options. Since I use
Borg elsewhere I thought this was a good
opportunity to figure out how to put it on TrueNAS. TrueNAS is based on Debian,
but relying on direct package installations isn’t recommended so I needed
another option.
