Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Well, afaik the spinning up and down and related temperature changes do the most damage. I am not sure if a disk that is spun up daily will outlast one that mostly idles 24/7. Maybe if you do it only weekly?
Without any cold hard data, this isn't worth discussing.
The "cold hard data" is that 100% of the people that would be able to collect this "cold hard data" run their drives 24/7.
Well, I do it weekly in a specific case but I also have other systems running daily. I guess it also depends on the use case / amount of data written and how damaging it can be if the "hot" drive breaks between the syncs.
