Wenn die DNS-Auflösung streikt, sind E-Mail-Dienste, Fileserver oder Anwendungen plötzlich nicht mehr erreichbar, obwohl die Systeme selbst einwandfrei laufen. Mit dem DNS-v2-Sensor von PRTG überwachen Admins die Namensauflösung einzelner DNS-Server.

Cheapest way would be to use what you already have. Old laptop, desktop, game console, etc can be converted easily into a fileserver. You can also plug an external HDD into most routers that have usb ports, and it will make a shared folder on your network.

I am old enough to have actually worked on a complete network of X-Terminials that simply ran X and Motif and had the rest of the computing served by a medium size UNIX workstation (10 clients to 1 Workstation), with a central fileserver providing storage via NFS.
Back in 1993, an Oracle exec named Tim Negris tried to claim that the future of computing was going to be thin clients, dumb terminals which simply connect you to the mainframe you rent computer from.

Larry Ellison jumped on board with this, as a way to compete with Microsoft.

for over a decade before i jumped off of windows, i used linux to repurpose a dead laptop as a home fileserver, which is a project i can't recommend people do enough

For years software vendors saying you have to move to the cloud, it's BS. It may save some development costs but vendors who offer both cloud & on-premise but for me, I like on-premise with LTO backup plus look at how much more you waste over just 3 years for Azzure or AHS vs purchasing a fileserver

@interrailinfosvenska my other favourite trick is using a fileserver as an API, you tile your data somehow and then ship a bloom filter to the client to reduce 404 spam for missing tiles

but you probably don't have enough data for that

it's how […]

Pre 26 Data Centers weren't a problem. Intel lost some CPU market & they stopped making fileservers so there's minimal r&d where for 3 decades Intel dramatically improved bottlenecks all over the fileserver/PC. Google, Amazon, Microsoft all have processors with no concern re: overheating & power use

Ich hab nen kleinen, alten hp MicroServer als Firewall/Router und Fileserver/Backup laufen. Suche aber eigentlich mittelfristig einen Nachfolger und bin noch nicht so richtig fündig geworden.

For 3 decades an on-premise fileserver would cost between 8 to 12 thousand depending upon 1 or 2 processors & raid drives, now these servers cost between 20 & 40 thousand dollars yet no one is reporting on this. The PC distribution market like Ingram, TDsynnex, etc have been destroyed.

Rendering every image size at upload turned 5,000 originals into 30,000 files. Rutba Media FileServer stores only the masters and makes each size on request. From a cold start it answers over 150,000 cached files in under a second.

Rutba Media FileServer: store masters only, resize on request
Rendering every image size at upload turned 5,000 originals into 30,000 files, most of them never requested.

the fileserver did work but the upgrade broke dependencies (like password hashing, thumbnail generation, etc)
i fixed this by just pip installing the deps again

thank you ubuntu system upgrade upgrading python, singlehandedly damaging my fileserver and making me inadvertently destroy my discord bot (including the token and persistent data) while desperately trying to get it to work again. very cool

DDR or pc & fileserver storage so these memory manufacturers enjoy a profit of TEN TIMES/1000 percent vs what they were profiting from before & we all are paying that cost.
October 9, 2026 at 12:51 PM
Samsung is a key DDR memory & storage manufacturer & tariffs destroyed the computer distribution market. Now PC & Server manufacturers contract directly with memory mfgs which change typical fileserver costs from 8 to 12 thousand for three decades to now 20 to 40 thousand. There is no US mfg of ...
October 9, 2026 at 12:51 PM
Businesses who must routinely replace their fileserver which for three decades averaged betweenf 8 to 12 thousand dollar now because of tariffs cost between 20 to 40 thousand dollars with every PC Manufacturer because memory & storage isn't made & won't be made in US until 2030 at the earliest.

Turns out Go's http​.FileServer will list the contents of directories. I don't really want it to do that on NextFastestTrain.com. Gone with a simple solution of wrapping http​.FileSystem's Open method to include an IsDir() check. groups.google.com/g/golang-nut...
