    Good point. I looked mostly at the spec sheet from the manufacturer and for example the Samsung 870 Evo vs Seagate IronWolf NAS Drive. Side note, AFAIK NVME drives have a higher power consumption. Especially PCIe 5.0.

    My NAS with 2 HDDs from Seagate has a total powerdraw of around 30-40w. And I don’t spin the drives down.

    1. Latency of accessing files/loading times
    2. Lifespan reduction because of spin up / spin down Head moves (the most common for head crash, as I learned from my Teacher)

    Most of the power draw is from the hdds. I have the same issue. If you want less power consumption. Invest in SSD or SSD and HDD hybrid where you store quick access files on SSD and rare access on hdd (then you can spin them down with timeout of , let’s say 30-60 min). This should save some energy

    I started using it a while ago. One big difference between iOS and android version. Android version is published by voodoo. Also, because of Adblock, I did not know or notice that it has ads. And my posts are only visible to friends for a day , not strangers for ever.

    Do you know anything else , like what data they might collect?

    I like your thinking. Here an example why password manager make sense. If you would use the same password at every website and one of the would be for example Facebook, and they would get breached. Your password associated with your username and email , is now know to some hacker group. And in case of Facebook, the password is not hashed , it was stored in plain text. Now they have fun to try different websites with combinations of your name , email and password.

    Alternatively a password manager stores for every website a different password, and your only mission is to keep that manager secure with a good , rememberable password.

    Also , what I do , is using an email alias service. So I have a different Password and Email for each account. I don’t have to care if something gets breached, I am safe and aware of what information gets stolen.

    And for future, we could all use passkeys and FIDO2 to block most phishing attempts.

    You can disable the most bloat and remove the ads. After that , it is a very good Chrome alternative. If you have to use chromium based browsers. Feel free to name a better one that has adblocking (after manifest v3) and fingerprint protection.

    Giving it a try is most of the time the first step. I tried GrapheneOS , used it until my device no longer received updates. Then Google Pixels got disappointing and iOS 14/15 got out with big privacy changes, so I switched the first time to Apple. I know, ironic , but it works for me. I remove most permissions from apps, use my own DNS block list enforced by MDM and if possible, self host my apps and services or use paid / open source ones. I am here on Lemmy instead of Reddit or Instagram…. I also tried Jollas SailfishOS v3 , it was ok, but this was back at the time very limited for social interactions, now with v5 it would have been better. Also good to know, at my place , Apple Pay is one of the most secure and private pay systems…. I hate that, this feels wrong.
